The importance of hypocrisy as a current and social network
The hypocrites were a current during the time of the Prophet and in Medina; I have said this many times that we, at the head of Islam, deal with the issue of hypocrisy as one social current; Today, there is no such talk about the fact that a person's appearance is not the same as his inside, well, it is possible that a person's appearance and inside are not 100% the same, and harm and danger are not perceived from him very much; The discussion is about hypocrisy and network of hypocrisy. A group of people, a group of biased and hostile people, pretended to believe in Islam and did not have faith inside, and were watching to inflict any possible blow on the believers. The discussion is about this current
It is a matter of the hypocrites who had hidden a dagger under their clothes to bring down this dagger as soon as possible. It is the talk of this current; Islam does not say to go and investigate the situation of this and that and see how everyone is inwardly, for example, his worship, his prayer, his fear of God inside his house or in the depths of his being; He says act on appearances and judge; He considers appearances to be valid, He says that everyone's appearance is a proof, his appearance is valid and there is no need for investigation. It is not at all about us going and looking to see if someone is a hypocrite or not; The point is that when there is a current of hypocrisy in the society, the Islamic society must constantly be careful not to be stabbed in the back. But A disbeliever meets a person face to face
More danger of the current of hypocrisy than open enemies
When you look at your own social situation today, the enemies that are obviously the enemies of the Islamic society, the superpowers, the powers that hit us whenever they could, are a reality for us that we know. I'm not saying that we shouldn't have any consideration in front of these; of course, we should prepare ourselves that don't let these blows hit us; But they have no risk of surprise for us; It is my enemy and the enemy is constantly trying to strike. Today, we do not expect anything from the world's great powers and those who have the most important military and political spying and intelligence agencies at their service. And show affection? What is possible that would make, for example, the big, arrogant colonialist government of America not to strike at a revolutionary nation? It has no cause; So we have prepared ourselves; We have prepared ourselves to the best of our ability against the blows of such an enemy. According to the verse "Wa aeddu lahum mastata-tum min quwwah va min ribat el-khail=Anfal (60)
وَأَعِدُّوا لَهُمْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ وَمِنْ رِبَاطِ الْخَيْلِ تُرْهِبُونَ بِهِ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ وَعَدُوَّكُمْ
Prepare against them whatever you can of [military] power and war-horses, scare thereby the enemy of Allah, and your enemy", we have prepared all our facilities, for example, to counter the American strikes; Now I mentioned America as an example, there are other people who we are ready to face. Therefore, the enemy's attack from the front is completely expected; But there are enemies who are probably inside the society and are not known, and there is a veil of hypocrisy over them; You are not ready to defend against them and you do not think that you are facing an enemy to prepare yourself; While you think that you are dealing with a safe person or current, suddenly there is a blow; While you think you are with a friendly current, suddenly a dagger enters from behind; The danger of hypocrisy is here and the Quran wants to make us aware of this danger. Therefore, on the issue of hypocrisy and hypocrite, in the form of a network and a current we must be constantly careful; It is the same in our current situation and we have understood this since the beginning of the revolution
You saw the blows we received from the beginning of the revolution, from whom did America hit us? America came to Tabas with that situation He took away the awful load of the charred, blackened corpses; This attack was America's blow to us, or suppose that the powers forced Saddam, the imposed Iraqi regime, to attack us; They attacked with thousands of dead and thousands of captives, they sat back with so much damage and left. Well, these were attacks from the enemies. It was obvious to us and it was nothing important and we were able to stand in front of it. But the blows of enemies that we didn't know were enemies and hit us, were more bitter blows; other than that? We don't look at the events that happened to us and a person was mentioned as a person; From the beginning of the revolution, the movements of the liberals, the movements leaning towards America, the movements leaning towards the East, the movements of like the believer in the line of the Imam but were the non-believer, the enemy of the Imam and the enemy of the Imam's line, who attacked us; They were the ones who caused us problems; So see, the danger of hypocrisy and hypocrites is so great, and we must pay attention to this danger, and it is for this reason that the Quran draws our attention to this danger
Falling into the current of hypocrisy in the Islamic revolution
Well, when a school of thought - for example, Islam - reaches the government, the current of hypocrisy starts from there. Before the revolution, there were those who were not believers, they were infidels, but they were not a danger to us; Because they did not insist on expressing their faith or even if they did .they declared that they were unbelievers, they did not insist on expressing being Collinear to us; There were open discussions, facing that time, there was a lot of discussion, there was no time to make a decision, that is, there was no time to make an executive decision with an action; The militant groups discussed and talked with each other and their differences were also obvious and it was clear how much they disagreed with each other and with whom they disagreed with each other. Of course, at that time there were influential people among the Muslim and Muslim groups, just as there were influential groups in Mecca at the time of the Prophet; At the same time, there were eclectic groups of believers; They were Muslims, eclectic Muslims; It means that their Islam was wrong; There were people who believed that their Islam was wrong, but they pretended to be the wrong Islam, they accepted the same wrong Islam, the Islam that was born from the thoughts of the East and the West was like this before the revolution. They did not claim that they are in the line of real Islam, i.e. Islamic jurisprudence, Islam of the Imam, Islam of the Messenger of God, Islam of the Quran and Hadith as understood by the people of the Quran and Hadith
But when the revolution won, when the power, government, and administration of the society came to the hands of Islam and the Muslims of the line of jurisprudence, everyone tried to get closer to this line and pretend to follow this line; And if you look at that time, you will see that from the beginning of the revolution, all groups claimed to be in favor of the Imam; All these opposing groups claimed that they are with the Imam, they accept the Imam; why? Because the Imam was the center where all minds, all faiths, all hearts lead to. If someone wanted to fit in the society, if someone wanted to lay the groundwork for his power in the future, he should keep it there, he would claim faith in it. Even those who disbelieved in God said that we do not accept God, but we accept the Imam
Because they knew that the people attach importance to running the affairs according to the Islamic way believed by the Imam; They pretended and lied, but of course we had many of these liars in our society, and one after another they were exposed, and some who were not exposed will be exposed. That means the truth will finally be revealed. One of the characteristics of hypocrisy is that it cannot survive forever; hypocrisy is not something that stays forever; The hidden truth will finally reveal itself
The groups fighting against Islam, which later took up the sword and fought against Islam, first said that we accept the Imam; However, because the Imam was an uncompromising character, he openly expressed the truth that he understood, little by little they were removed from the circle and from afar. When they left, they revealed their disbelief and their opposition. While they were in Iran, they expressed their interest and devotion, when their leaders were able to break free and reach the other side of the border and they were relieved, they no longer thought about their poor followers who were in Iran. And there they said whatever came to their mouths and revealed their opposition; Hypocrisy is like this
outright action against hypocrisy; One of the qualities of a divine leader
One of the characteristics of a righteous leader and a divine leader is that he acts openly in front of hypocrites; He may not be strict with the hypocrite, for example, he does not immediately punish the hypocrite, but he does not accept his hypocrisy, that is, he is not impressed by his hypocrisy, he expresses the truth openly and clearly. This is one of the characteristics of a divine leader, so this surah begins in this way
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful. When the hypocrites come to you, they say to you that we bear witness that you are God's prophet. "And God knows that you are for the Messenger"; God knows that you are His Messenger and you dont need the testimony of the hypocrites. They are lying when they say that we bear witness that you are his prophet, that our divine prophet bears witness to your prophet hood; Their hearts do not believe in your prophet hood at all. See how clearly it comes to the field in the narration that is below this honorable chapter. There is also a very detailed and sweet narration, the details of which may be told later - Abdullah bin Abi, who was a hypocrite in the war of Bani al-Mustaliq, due to a current that now It is detailed and I don't want to say now that he is saying contradictory things about the Prophet and Zeyd bin Arqam, who is from Abdullah bin Abi's tribe, he comes and informs the Prophet that Abdullah said these things; The Prophet asked Abdullah bin Abi, did you say these words? That is, they treat him directly
A hypocrite should be dealt with openly and this is the best means of exposing; this is the best way to expose and slow down the hypocrite's tactics. A hypocrite can live in the dark; The way to deal with him is to remove this darkness and lighten the atmospher. The hypocrite wants to move behind the curtain; If you want to be safe from his evil and if you want to slow down his tactics, you must remove this veil so that his face is revealed; If he lives in darkness, if you live in darkness with him, he will continue his hypocrisy. Hypocrite should be understood and understood that he is a hypocrite and a disbeliever at heart in those days when in Iran many political figures believed that the People's Mojahedin group should be tolerated, and we should not bring it up to them that they do not believe in the Imam, in the revolution, in Islam, and in the Quran. Obviously, in a conversation, Imam told everyone that I know them, they came to me in Najaf, they spoke like this, they lied like this, they said the opposite, they revealed the matter; And they saw that they could no longer live under the curtain; They were supposed to stay behind the scenes, recruit members, and take the facilities of the Islamic Republic so that one day they could use those facilities against the Islamic Republic. The Imam pulled back the curtain and everyone understood what the matter was. He finished the job. This is frank, Quranic frankness, so no one should object as to why
The right to life for hypocrites if they obey the law
The Prophet could have not revealed that Abdullah bin Abi is a hypocrite, but he did. Not here, in different places, of course Abdullah bin Abi was more noble and human than these hypocrites of our time; Because Abdullah bin Abi did not show an acute reaction after realizing that the Prophet knew that he was a hypocrite; He remained in the society, even some thought that the Prophet would kill him. Even Abdullah's own son, whose name was Abdullah bin Abdullah bin Abi, came to the Prophet and said, O Messenger of God! I have heard that you want to kill my father because he is a hypocrite; I beg you, if you are going to kill him, give me this work
I am going to kill him. I am famous in our tribe that I am very kind to my father. If someone else kills him, It is possible that, God forbid, a turbidity will appear in my heart towards a Muslim and I will react. Then I will harm a believer because of an unbeliever. The Messenger of God said, "No, go to your father's side, be kind to him again. We do not intend to kill your father. The Prophet clearly understands that he is a disbeliever. And the prophet takes a stand, but He does not exert intensity against him, why? Because he doesn't want to do a crime, he stayed in the Islamic community and after a while he died, that's it
If the hypocrites of our time were exposed, they would be busy with their own work, no one would have anything to do with them; If they had not laid the foundations of attacking the Islamic society, they would not have killed the children. They would not have come to the streets, they would not have crowded, they would not have shoot on the people, they would not have done vile things, of course no one had anything to do with them; but it found out that these are no longer who they say they are; and they are clearly defined. Well, one issue here was that we said that hypocrisy is a social trend and this social trend arises during the rule of Islam and the rule of the Quran and the truth, and it grows, and we have a lot to say about this later
Another issue is that the best move against hypocrisy is the revealing move and the open move; Therefore, the Quran has clearly spoken about the hypocrites, of course, it has not specified the people, but each of these verses is about an incident, and when that incident is mentioned and these are placed side by side, it is clear that the Quran is identifying and introducing. that so-and-so is a hypocrite; Moreover, these verses and this chapter are all about Abdullah bin Abi
Hypocrites hiding behind pretending to believe
After mentioning this movement of the hypocrites, who come to the Prophet and say, "We bear witness that you are the Messenger of God, and they bear false witness like this." The characteristic of the hypocrites is that they take an oath and put a shield in front of themselves with their oath so that no harm will come to them; They make the oath their shield. If they do not take this oath, they become disbelievers; If this unbeliever in the society can free himself from the pressure of people's eyes, the government and the governing body of the country will not impose anything on him and he can live. But people's pressure is of course pressure for him; This [person] swears in order to be able to live comfortably among people and not be revealed or exposed, by God, we believe in you, by God, we are believers; It is of such a nature that perhaps it is this attribute and characteristic of them that will be reflected in the Day of Resurrection, where they used to swear in some places that "By Allah, our Lord, do not be polytheists" as the Quran says: "Look how they lied to themselves"; They lie, they declare their faith falsely. They use this oath as their own shield: Therefore, by means of this oath and living in the shadow and in secret means living in the dark and being unknown, disbelief prevents people from the path of God. If you know that a hypocrite is an infidel, you don't listen to him, you don't get impressed by his temptation; But this unbeliever makes his faith appear justified in order to penetrate the hearts of those who are unaware, and through his declaration of faith, he finds the possibility to tempt and turn the believers away from the path of God; Of course, simple believers
A person who understands is not impressed by hypocrites, but a person who is naive is impressed by a hypocrite and a disbeliever; If he says from the beginning that I am the opponent of this Islam, this revolution, this Prophet, this Imam, and this movement. He declares his faith so that he can impress others and thereby prevent them from the path of God
It is bad and ugly for a person to sweeten himself in the eyes of people with lies and deceit, to make a place in people's minds, and thereby distract and divert people from the path of God
