The Comparison of the Effect of Revelation on the Believer and the Hypocrite:
When rain falls on the earth, it becomes a garden and the crops begin to flourish. But barren land takes the opposite effect from this rain. There, salinity is produced or thorny bushes and useless kinds of vegetation grow. This is exactly the case with the hypocrites. The human heart is like the earth, and divine revelation is the rain of mercy. For people of sound nature, the crops of faith begin to flourish, but in the hearts of the hypocrites, these very verses of Allah become a cause for further doubts and suspicions, and they become even more active in their impure conspiracies.
