1 00:00:00,340 --> 00:00:05,680 Hypocrites, within their twisted minds, speak in a way that would cause apprehensions so 2 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,320 as to deprive the Muslims of their will to struggle. 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,320 Muslims always use a clear, comprehensible, sincere and pleasant tone that complies with 4 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,320 the Quran. 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,400 The speech of Muslims contains a particular warmth and wisdom that is pleasant to the 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,040 hearts of those who listen. 7 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,360 Every word they utter is in agreement with the Quran and has a calm quality that soothes 8 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,060 the soul of the listener. 9 00:00:26,060 --> 00:00:30,240 On the other hand, every word of the hypocrite contains a hidden evil, a subtle message that 10 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:36,240 contradicts the Quran, a soul-straining verbalism, and a dark, anxiety-provoking connotation. 11 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,620 Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that hypocrites never speak this way openly, in 12 00:00:40,620 --> 00:00:44,020 a manner that will reveal their true intentions. 13 00:00:44,020 --> 00:00:49,000 In most of their talks, hypocrites mention the name of God, the verses of the Quran, appearing 14 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000 as if they are giving a religious speech. 15 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,860 However, they also include statements in every sentence that might arouse doubt in those with 16 00:00:55,860 --> 00:01:02,500 weaker faith, and can cause confusion, anxiety, or distress in people. 17 00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:07,900 Hypocrites make it seem as if they are doing a good thing or giving advice, yet their actual 18 00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:12,020 intention is to cause sedition among the Muslim community. 19 00:01:12,020 --> 00:01:17,480 For example, with their small brains, they criticize the messenger covertly or blatantly, 20 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,440 in their own ways, and try to give the impression that they are doing so for the betterment 21 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,160 of Muslims. 22 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:28,080 They claim that they are only giving advice because they love and want the good of Muslims. 23 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,320 However, their true intention is to raise doubts against the messenger, and those with weaker 24 00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:38,380 faith drive a wedge between the Muslims, and thus to weaken the believers resolve to struggle 25 00:01:38,380 --> 00:01:41,080 and devotion to the messenger. 26 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,880 For example, in the era of our prophet, peace be upon him, when the believers were about 27 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,880 to go to war against non-believers, the hypocrites said, do not go out to fight in the heat. 28 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,380 God states the following verse in the Quran, those who were left behind were glad to stay 29 00:01:55,380 --> 00:01:57,900 behind the messenger of God. 30 00:01:57,900 --> 00:02:03,860 They did not want to do jihad, to strive with their wealth and themselves in the way of God. 31 00:02:03,860 --> 00:02:08,260 They said, do not go out to fight in the heat. 32 00:02:08,260 --> 00:02:13,940 Say the fire of hell is much hotter if they only understood. 33 00:02:13,940 --> 00:02:19,220 In this verse, God informs us about the significant aspects of the immorality of the hypocrites. 34 00:02:19,220 --> 00:02:24,420 First, the hypocrites consider themselves wiser than our prophet, peace be upon him. 35 00:02:24,420 --> 00:02:28,700 May God forbid the thought, and criticize our prophet, peace be upon him, with their feeble 36 00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:29,700 minds. 37 00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:33,920 Secondly, under no circumstance are they willing to strive in the way of God. 38 00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:39,200 Thirdly, so as not to appear like they are avoiding struggle, they offer irrational and 39 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,580 foolish excuses. 40 00:02:41,580 --> 00:02:45,660 On one hand, the hypocrites of the era imply that our prophet, peace be upon him, is unaware 41 00:02:45,660 --> 00:02:49,460 of the heat and the conditions fighting in the heat will bring about. 42 00:02:49,460 --> 00:02:51,200 May God forbid the thought. 43 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,140 And on the other hand, they try to withhold those with weaker faith from fighting. 44 00:02:55,140 --> 00:02:59,760 They both try to avoid fighting in the way of God and seek to weaken the strength of Muslims. 45 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,160 They claim that by making Muslims go out to fight in the heat, our prophet, peace be upon 46 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:09,560 him, who is the wisest, the most conscientious, the most compassionate, the most profoundly 47 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,640 thinking person, the person that is the most fond of believers in the world, does not 48 00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:15,080 appreciate them. 49 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,200 May God forbid the thought. 50 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:22,400 Moreover, they try to make themselves look like they hold the Muslims in high esteem, 51 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,960 whereas the hypocrites care about the good of neither the Muslims nor Islam. 52 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,960 They are only selfishly concerned about their own comforts and come up with foolish excuses 53 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,140 in order to avoid giving a struggle in the way of God. 54 00:03:36,140 --> 00:03:40,880 Regardless of how hot or cold the weather is, regardless of the conditions, hypocrites come 55 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:46,400 up with yet another excuse and again slander our prophet, peace be upon him, with an unreasonable 56 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,400 claim. 57 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,640 Today, the abhorrent morals of the hypocrites manifest themselves in their anxiety-provoking 58 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:57,600 speeches that aim to break the resolve of the believers and to lead them to lethargy. 59 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:03,640 As for the believers, every speech is a blessing that increases their enthusiasm, their devotion, 60 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,300 love and obedience to our prophet, peace be upon him. 61 00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:10,480 The existence and speeches of the hypocrites are important means for the believers to maintain 62 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,640 their vigilance and to strengthen the resolve for intellectual struggle. 63 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,880 Therefore, while the hypocrites attempt to provoke anxiety and weaken the believers, their schemes 64 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,980 in fact cause the opposite effect. 65 00:04:21,980 --> 00:04:26,620 It endows the believers with greater spiritual strength and renders their scientific endeavors 66 00:04:26,620 --> 00:04:28,240 in the way of God more fruitful.
