When Shaitaan asked Allah some time so that he could easily misguide the human beings , there are four ways he described he would attack the human beings . The four ways are given below .
Shaitaan was full of ingratitude and always comparing as we saw in our previous article .
The devil attack us from the front -
He wants to capture our impulse .
Human beings just want to implode .
For example when we are at the cashier counter the things that are attractive are kept right in front . That stimulates us and implodes us to buy more .
There are things that attract us on social media .
He wants us to be possessed with the material things constantly , brands that they wear and looks that they have .
He whispers into the chest of the people . It is referring to the emotions of the people .
It's all of those emotions and uses them and then go to extreme . It gives things right now .
If something is right in front of you , the view is completely blocked . You will never think about what's in the future but only think about what you have presently .
We are standing on a conveyor belt that marches towards Allah . He wants us to think of the future but not long term .
We have to understand that Allah controls everything . So if we are having a peaceful day then it's because of Allah and we should also know how to control our emotions .
We should always be purpose driven and we should have smaller goals but please remember that those goals are not the end goal . Our end goal is to meet our Rabb and
We should constantly work towards it .
The devil attack us from the right -
Good things we have done and make us proud of us . Our good deeds are something that we present before Allah , but we become proud of it . He doesn't want us to be humble .
Guidance is a property of Allah . Guidance is something we have to beg for constantly . No matter where you are in your matter .
Always our first concern is ourselves and then others . We have to acknowledge ourselves and then others .
Guidance is like water , it's not fulfilled at once . We have to go back again and again and fulfil our thirst .
People can use word of Allah for evil purposes . Their intention was never good .
My conclusion can never change , what needs to change is Allah words according to our word
They use to slap each other . You misrepresented the word of Allah and masked your own ego . You have to be very careful not to do that .
The devil attack us from the left
He tempts us by lowering our temptation .
The idea of delaying and taking time to do good things . It's not necessarily doing evil things but slowing the idea of doing the good thing .
The spiritual necessity is prayers , fasting . When you don’t have time for that . Even when I pray I don't feel anything .
When a plant becomes weak we shower it with water and you see the plants in some time . You won’t see immediately .
Shaitaan wants to beautify the deeds .
When you get some kind of deed that is not required and you don't get anything from it for example backbiting ,
What you got from the right way is enough but you need more so it instils the idea of greed in human beings .
The devil attack us from the back
The most powerful that Shaitaan uses is history . It affects our thinking , our emotions and uses our past against us . He uses our past to deceive us and tell us that it should not be done like that . It can be done in two ways
1)If the past was good and then we stopped praying all of a sudden then it will tell us we cant be the same anymore .
2)If our past experiences were bad then he will trick into believing that we are not capable of anything good in the future . Also if we start questioning why this happened to us . Maybe Allah is angry with that's why this happened with me .
He wants us to believe in hopelessness .
If you know what is above and what is below then you are protected .
The guidance of the Rabb comes from above and we all have to go inside the ground .
Dua to the Rabb is above and sajda towards the ground is what can keeps on the right track .
Ma'sha Allah! Such a beautiful article!
