WEBVTT 00:00.340 --> 00:05.680 Hypocrites, within their twisted minds, speak in a way that would cause apprehensions so 00:05.680 --> 00:09.320 as to deprive the Muslims of their will to struggle. 00:09.320 --> 00:13.320 Muslims always use a clear, comprehensible, sincere and pleasant tone that complies with 00:13.320 --> 00:14.320 the Quran. 00:14.320 --> 00:18.400 The speech of Muslims contains a particular warmth and wisdom that is pleasant to the 00:18.400 --> 00:20.040 hearts of those who listen. 00:20.040 --> 00:24.360 Every word they utter is in agreement with the Quran and has a calm quality that soothes 00:24.360 --> 00:26.060 the soul of the listener. 00:26.060 --> 00:30.240 On the other hand, every word of the hypocrite contains a hidden evil, a subtle message that 00:30.240 --> 00:36.240 contradicts the Quran, a soul-straining verbalism, and a dark, anxiety-provoking connotation. 00:36.240 --> 00:40.620 Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that hypocrites never speak this way openly, in 00:40.620 --> 00:44.020 a manner that will reveal their true intentions. 00:44.020 --> 00:49.000 In most of their talks, hypocrites mention the name of God, the verses of the Quran, appearing 00:49.000 --> 00:51.000 as if they are giving a religious speech. 00:51.000 --> 00:55.860 However, they also include statements in every sentence that might arouse doubt in those with 00:55.860 --> 01:02.500 weaker faith, and can cause confusion, anxiety, or distress in people. 01:02.500 --> 01:07.900 Hypocrites make it seem as if they are doing a good thing or giving advice, yet their actual 01:07.900 --> 01:12.020 intention is to cause sedition among the Muslim community. 01:12.020 --> 01:17.480 For example, with their small brains, they criticize the messenger covertly or blatantly, 01:17.480 --> 01:21.440 in their own ways, and try to give the impression that they are doing so for the betterment 01:21.440 --> 01:23.160 of Muslims. 01:23.160 --> 01:28.080 They claim that they are only giving advice because they love and want the good of Muslims. 01:28.080 --> 01:33.320 However, their true intention is to raise doubts against the messenger, and those with weaker 01:33.320 --> 01:38.380 faith drive a wedge between the Muslims, and thus to weaken the believers resolve to struggle 01:38.380 --> 01:41.080 and devotion to the messenger. 01:41.080 --> 01:45.880 For example, in the era of our prophet, peace be upon him, when the believers were about 01:45.880 --> 01:50.880 to go to war against non-believers, the hypocrites said, do not go out to fight in the heat. 01:50.880 --> 01:55.380 God states the following verse in the Quran, those who were left behind were glad to stay 01:55.380 --> 01:57.900 behind the messenger of God. 01:57.900 --> 02:03.860 They did not want to do jihad, to strive with their wealth and themselves in the way of God. 02:03.860 --> 02:08.260 They said, do not go out to fight in the heat. 02:08.260 --> 02:13.940 Say the fire of hell is much hotter if they only understood. 02:13.940 --> 02:19.220 In this verse, God informs us about the significant aspects of the immorality of the hypocrites. 02:19.220 --> 02:24.420 First, the hypocrites consider themselves wiser than our prophet, peace be upon him. 02:24.420 --> 02:28.700 May God forbid the thought, and criticize our prophet, peace be upon him, with their feeble 02:28.700 --> 02:29.700 minds. 02:29.700 --> 02:33.920 Secondly, under no circumstance are they willing to strive in the way of God. 02:33.920 --> 02:39.200 Thirdly, so as not to appear like they are avoiding struggle, they offer irrational and 02:39.200 --> 02:41.580 foolish excuses. 02:41.580 --> 02:45.660 On one hand, the hypocrites of the era imply that our prophet, peace be upon him, is unaware 02:45.660 --> 02:49.460 of the heat and the conditions fighting in the heat will bring about. 02:49.460 --> 02:51.200 May God forbid the thought. 02:51.200 --> 02:55.140 And on the other hand, they try to withhold those with weaker faith from fighting. 02:55.140 --> 02:59.760 They both try to avoid fighting in the way of God and seek to weaken the strength of Muslims. 02:59.760 --> 03:04.160 They claim that by making Muslims go out to fight in the heat, our prophet, peace be upon 03:04.160 --> 03:09.560 him, who is the wisest, the most conscientious, the most compassionate, the most profoundly 03:09.560 --> 03:13.640 thinking person, the person that is the most fond of believers in the world, does not 03:13.640 --> 03:15.080 appreciate them. 03:15.080 --> 03:16.200 May God forbid the thought. 03:16.200 --> 03:22.400 Moreover, they try to make themselves look like they hold the Muslims in high esteem, 03:22.400 --> 03:26.960 whereas the hypocrites care about the good of neither the Muslims nor Islam. 03:26.960 --> 03:31.960 They are only selfishly concerned about their own comforts and come up with foolish excuses 03:31.960 --> 03:36.140 in order to avoid giving a struggle in the way of God. 03:36.140 --> 03:40.880 Regardless of how hot or cold the weather is, regardless of the conditions, hypocrites come 03:40.880 --> 03:46.400 up with yet another excuse and again slander our prophet, peace be upon him, with an unreasonable 03:46.400 --> 03:47.400 claim. 03:47.400 --> 03:51.640 Today, the abhorrent morals of the hypocrites manifest themselves in their anxiety-provoking 03:51.640 --> 03:57.600 speeches that aim to break the resolve of the believers and to lead them to lethargy. 03:57.600 --> 04:03.640 As for the believers, every speech is a blessing that increases their enthusiasm, their devotion, 04:03.640 --> 04:06.300 love and obedience to our prophet, peace be upon him. 04:06.300 --> 04:10.480 The existence and speeches of the hypocrites are important means for the believers to maintain 04:10.480 --> 04:14.640 their vigilance and to strengthen the resolve for intellectual struggle. 04:14.640 --> 04:19.880 Therefore, while the hypocrites attempt to provoke anxiety and weaken the believers, their schemes 04:19.880 --> 04:21.980 in fact cause the opposite effect. 04:21.980 --> 04:26.620 It endows the believers with greater spiritual strength and renders their scientific endeavors 04:26.620 --> 04:28.240 in the way of God more fruitful.
