(AhlulBayt News Agency) - The Grand Shia scholar, Ayatollah Makarem Shiraz, said in Qom that "It is narrated from Imam Ali (A) who said: You curse Satan in public but deep down you are a friend of Satan".
He added "Duplicity in appearance and inwardly or hypocrisy is the biggest calamity for individuals and societies and these people (hypocrites) are worse than those who say they are not religious, because they (hypocrites) are corrupt and hide their true nature and deceive others".
The Grand Ayatollah added "Most of the rulers of the world are from those who say in public that they support human rights but deep down they are against those rights; they want all the benefits for themselves and misfortunes for others".
He stressed "I do not think this problem of duplicity in today’s world is solvable even if they (hypocrites) destroy the world.
"It cannot be believed that one day the culture of the world will be so advanced that the rulers come out of their hypocritical condition and be transformed into one faced human beings; and the reason we are waiting for the appearance of Imam Mahdi (AJ) is because the humanity is going towards that path and therefore, there is no hope of being able to move towards reform (rectification)".
