ADNAN OKTAR:The hypocrites of the time of our Prophet (saas) were also very arduous. But the hypocrites of the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) are very detailed and inextricable as satan helps them directly. That is because satan does not want the moral values of Islam to dominate the world. While they do not want the moral values of Islam to dominate the world, satan would not make the hypocrites confront us by directly going against the religion, Islam and the Quran. Satan would bring the hypocrites forth to confront us as people who fastidiously defend the religion, Islam. Satan is not that stupid in the sense we know. Satan is very clever. It has great intelligence. And it has a perfect sense of logic, a stupendous sense of logic. However, in terms of wisdom, it is a fool. It has no wisdom, I mean its wisdom and conscience are decadent. And the hypocrite is a reflexion of satan in human on Earth. As it is revealed in the Qur'an "with their horses and walkers" so satan's walkers are in the form of human beings, their walkers. He comes and talks and does service. But, look, satan cautions them and says "Do not come out as an irreligious person." He asks how he should come out and it says "Show that you are very religious and very God-fearing."

It says "You need to suffocate them with your God-fearing appearance. Get into detail, make details, try to find Muslims' mistakes and try to find something on them without fail. But while doing these, do it by appearing as God-fearing so that those who look from the outside cannot notice you. This is your cloth; you will seem so." Therefore, Almighty Allah says "do not let the Deluder delude you concerning Allah." Do not let him delude you by using the name of Allah. Because the method of satan and of hypocrites is mentioning the name of Allah intensively. He does this by appearing as God-fearing. He makes the religion complicated. He says "You are avoiding difficulty but look I am embracing difficulty." Now a plain person who looks at him would say "This is after easiness and this is after hardship, and since he does not avoid hardship then this is what is right." However, this one has already set up a system that will suffocate him. He has set up labyrinths. He will suffocate him in those labyrinths. He sets up a system, which is not in line with the Quran or the hadith and which is very complicated. When he is suffocated in that, he says "Did I not say so? I am strong, you are weak, but look did you see? You are suffocated."Actually , he is already the person who organized that. This is the satan's attitude as you know. It says this in Hell; it says: "I just called you and you responded. Truly I fear Allah."
