570 The sanctimonious or self-sanctified people are the farthest from sanctity or purity, which can only proceed from Allah. They cannot play with Allah's Truth and yet go on claiming co be guided and purified or justified by Allah. Their falsehood in itself condemns them; no further proof is needed of their selfishness and evil. 571 Literally, the small skin in the groove of a date stone, a thing of no value:fatila.
