Hypocrites, Disbelievers and Obedience

ON HYPOCRITES

A hypocrite, regardless to where he appears or regardless to what organization he may be a member of -- whether a governmental hypocrite, an industrial hypocrite, a business hypocrite or a religious hypocrite -- is the most unwanted and hated of all the people concerned. They are also the most hated by God. They are double-crossers; they come in claiming belief and then go out disbelieving.

I quote several passages of the Holy Qur-an on hypocrites of which the average leader or searcher of the scripture has not known, because the scripture teachers here in America have never studied the Holy Qur-an. If they had, they would not be hard to awaken or be united with their own kind.

"Those who disbelieve -- it being alike to them whether thou warn them or warn them not -- they will not believe" (Holy Qur-an 2:6). Allah has sealed their hearts and their hearing; and there is a covering on their eyes, and for them is a grievous chastisement (Holy Qur-an 2:7).

This is not for people who have not known the truth of Allah and His true religion, it is for those who have known and then disbelieve after their believing. The 8th verse of the same chapter reads like this: "And there are some people who say: We believe in Allah and the Last Day, and they are not believers." Verse 9: "They seek to deceive Allah and those who believe, and they deceive only themselves and they perceive not." Verse 10: "In their hearts is a disease, so Allah increased their disease, and for them is a painful chastisement because they lie." Verse 11: "And when it is said to them, Make not mischief in the land, they say: We are but peacemakers." Verse 12: "Now surely they are the mischief makers, but they perceive not." Verse 14: "And when they meet those who believe, they say: We believe; and when they are alone with their devils, they say: Surely we are with you, we were only mocking." Verse 15: "Allah will pay them back their mockery, and He leaves them alone in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on."

In Section 16, entitled "Hypocrites are Dishonest," the Muslims are warned not to try to defend them or contend in behalf of those who act unfaithfully to their souls. "Surely Allah loves not him who is treacherous, sinful" (4:107)

"Behold! You are they who may contend on their behalf in this world's life, but who will contend with Allah on their behalf on the Resurrection Day, or who will have charge of their affairs!" (Holy Qur-an 4:109).

In Section 17, entitled "Secret Counsels of the Hypocrites:" "And were it not for Allah's grace upon thee and his mercy, a party of them had certainly designed to ruin thee. And they ruin only themselves, and they cannot harm thee in any way. And Allah has revealed to thee the Book and the Wisdom and taught thee what thou knewest not, and Allah's grace on thee is very great" (Holy Qur-an 4:113).

"There is no good in most of their secret counsels except (in) him who enjoins charity or goodness or reconciliation between people. And whoever does this, seeking Allah's pleasure, We shall give him a mighty reward" (Holy Qur-an 4:114).

"And whoever acts hostilely to the Messenger after guidance has become manifest to him and follows other than the way of the believers, We turn him to that to which he (himself) turns and make him enter hell; and it is an evil resort" (Holy Qur-an 4:115).

I have followers who are now fulfilling these verses of the Holy Qur-an; they are true and they are very easy to understand. Allah warns them that He will not aid them against His Messenger but will let them be manifest and bring to a naught their evil plans to destroy the Messenger and the truth which he preaches and even to take his very life and those who are with him.

"And thus have we made in every town the reader of its guilty ones, that they may make plans therein. And they plan not but against themselves and they perceive not" (Holy Qur-an 6:124).

Allah allows the wicked and the leaders of opposition to the Messenger to make their plans therein. And they plan not but against themselves and they perceive not.

Allah allows the wicked and the leaders of opposition to the Messenger to make their plans and try to carry them out against the Messenger. And then Allah makes them to about-face, and the planners of the evil receive the evil results that they wished for the Messenger. (Holy Qur-an 8:46).

"O, Prophet, strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be firm against them. And their abode is hell, and evil is the destination," (Holy Qur-an 9:73; read 9:74).

I do not beg anyone to believe, because it is not allowed by Allah for a Messenger to beg people to believe in Allah and His word of truth, neither to take him for an angel or for a Prophet. This is absolutely immaterial on a Prophet's part.

They seek to judge the Messenger of God and (as the Bible teaches) they seek to bring him into courts of the infidels to be judged by them while the Bible and the Holy Qur-an warn you against trying to be the judge of a Messenger of God, in these words: Who is he that judges another man's servant?

The Holy Qur-an repeatedly warns the disbelievers and hypocrites that Allah is sufficient as a judge of His Messenger, and by no means will He let those who molest and seek to destroy His Messenger with their tongues and their hands for no good reason.

There is no excuse for their deviation, only that they were actually hypocrites, eating and feasting with us (as the Bible says), and we did not know they were such people. Allah makes them know whenever he pleases, and I warn you who read this article that these are the days of Judgment, and I am your little brother missioned by God to try to save you from going to the doom of the devil and disbelievers.

Allah is a friend, and I am a friend that He has caused to rise among you, the poor black people of America who have suffered every injustice that man could suffer and are still suffering today.

The enemy cannot be but a hypocrite who will now try to change to offer you friendship. The same enemy who fought and killed you yesterday cannot turn overnight and become your friend.

Be warned and be careful of how you deviate and follow such evil-tongued people as you see now appearing, for in a few days, God will destroy them all with those whom destruction and justice is due.

May Allah pour upon the hypocrites the chastisement that He poured upon my Mother's son, my own brother who rose up against me in 1935 and joined himself with those who were bent upon taking life away. This was for no cause other than jealousy and envy of my mission. May Allah strike them with terror and grief that they may not have rest day or night for they return to me evil for good. I have been better to them than they were to themselves. Let Allah judge between me and the hypocrites and disbelievers who take Allah and His Messenger and religion for mockery.

BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS

A hypocrite is a person who is disliked by everyone -- whether it be a hypocritical wife, husband, parent, son or daughter, the hypocrite is unwanted. You can never trust hypocrites. They are liars. They are worse than disbelievers, because a disbeliever has not lied, saying that he believed and then turned back. This makes hypocrites the most hated of all people.

The Holy Qur-an repeatedly warns the believers against hypocrites. Let us quote the 9th Verse of Chapter 2 of the Holy Qur-an, which reads like this:

"They seek to deceive Allah and those who believe and they deceive only themselves and they perceive not."

When they come in, they hope to make Allah think that they are believers and on their leaving sincerely seek to deceive the true believers so that they may turn them against Allah, the Messenger, and the truth that he has brought. They are mockers of the believers and say that they believe, but yet they are mockers of true believers. The 15th Verse of Chapter 2 says of them:

"Allah will pay them back their mockery, and He leaves them alone in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on."

The Holy Qur-an (63:1) reads: "When the hypocrites come to thee, they say: We bear witness that thou art indeed Allah's Messenger. And Allah knows thou art indeed His Messenger. And Allah bears witness that the hypocrites are surely liars [63:2]. They take shelter under their oaths, thus turning [men] from Allah's way. Surely evil is that which they do [63:3]. That is because they believed, then disbelieved; thus their hearts are sealed, so they understand not."

They desire to make the Messenger think that they are true believers by saying that they believe that he is the Messenger of Allah, while in their hearts they do not believe that he is the Messenger, and Allah knows what is in their hearts -- that they are liars. They come in believing and then disbelieve. After their disbelief, Allah seals their hearts so that they cannot understand or believe. In the 150th verse of the 4th Chapter, they are warned against trying to deceive Allah and His Messenger. They say that they believe in one and disbelieve in the other. But disbelief in God or His Apostle means a disbelief in both.

This Verse (4:150) reads like this: "Those who disbelieve in Allah and His Messengers and desire to make a distinction between Allah and His Messengers and say, We believe in some and disbelieve in others; and desire to take a course in between [4:151]. These are truly disbelievers; and We have prepared for the disbelievers an abasing chastisement."

Holy Qur-an [4:152} reads: "And those who believe in Allah and His Messengers and make no distinction between any of them, to them He will grant their rewards. And Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful."

This is going on today among my followers. Many of the hypocrites who go out from me will still say to you that they believe in Allah but do not believe that I am the Messenger of Allah. This is as if they said that they do not believe in either one of us. You cannot get to Allah unless you come through a Messenger, Apostle or Prophet of Allah. When a hypocrite begins disbelieving, the light is taken from him, and he is not able to see that he is actually a disbeliever. It is like someone wandering around in darkness but claiming that he sees his way, while the person in the light, looking on the dark, knows that he is not able to see his way around.

The Prophet is warned to strive hard against the hypocrites and disbelievers and be unyielding to them, for their abode is the "Fire of Hell." The relation between the hypocrites and the believers is cut off. They are not allowed to go around the Muslims. Not even charity is accepted from hypocrites by the believers. They seek friendship with the enemies of Islam. Read Chapter 5, Verse 53 (Holy Qur-an), and also Chapter 4 verses 144 and 145. There is no help for the hypocrites. They practice deceit. Read Chapter 47, Verse 23, and also verses 25 through 28.

This particular group (hypocrites) should always be watched by the believers. They are very deceitful and must be opposed by all means. They are not to be killed, for Allah desires to make them examples for others by chastising them like a parent does a child. He chastises one with the strap to warn the other not to disobey. After a divine chastisement of the hypocrites, they are turned into the doom of the real enemies (the devils). That is why the Holy Qur-an speaks of them as inmates of the "Fire of Hell."

The Messenger is warned not to be easy with hypocrites but to be hard against them. Read Chapter 66, Verse 10, as well as Chapter 66, Verse 9, which even warns the Messenger that there were prophets who had hypocritical wives. This makes it clear to us that not only the common people can have a hypocrite in the family, but also the families of prophets.

Because of this, some people will think you are weak. They will say: "Oh, if his wife does not believe in him, he must not be the Messenger of God." If his sons and daughters do not believe in him, they say: "They should know more about him that we do. He must not be the Messenger."

But this does not mean that the Messenger is not the true one. Jesus prophesied that the truth will cause separation in the family. Mothers and father believing with children disbelieving. And children believing with mothers and fathers disbelieving.

This is going on now. There are many who come to us saying that they believe and want to join with us who believe in Allah and His truth and His Messenger, but many times their parent and/or children do not believe. This is the Judgment Day which you have been warned will come. The truth of Almighty God that I preach to you is not denied by scholars or scientists who understand. And if they do not understand, send them to me, and when they leave me, they will understand that it is the truth.

Chapter 104 of the Holy Qur-an is entitled the Slanderer. Please read it and the footnote (#2794), which fits very well with the slander I am now receiving from the chief hypocrites.
