بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اَللّهُِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم

“he beguiles man … he deceives man … he misleads man … “

Shaytaan is insidious by nature! Wicked and cruel! This slinking prompter casts insinuations into mans heart and retreats … He is an open enemy that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala repeatedly cautions us about in the Qur’aan! 

In his sinister plots to mislead he promised Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala :

  “Because You have put me [Shaytaan] in error, I will surely sit in wait for them on Your straight path.  Surah Al-A’raf ~ 7:16

~ ~ ~

Then I [Shaytaan] will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful [to You].”  Surah Al-A’raf ~ 7:17

In the battle between Shaytaan and Mankind,

there are 4 directions in which Shaytaan assaults man >

“from before them”

He brings doubts in man’s mind and makes him believe that

Aakhirat and Resurrection is something very far fetched!

“from behind them”

Dunya is behind man … He tries to seduce and lure man

with the beauty and the glamour of this world!

“from the right”

ie : from the side of Hasanaat (good deeds) … He prompts man

into procrastinating or discarding performing good deeds

“from the left” 

ie : the side of sins & vice …He prompts man to continue persisting

in evils and to enjoy the ‘so called’ pleasure derived from sins

~ ~ ~

Although he has been given respite till Qiyamah … It is mentioned in a Hadith that Allah says : “Oh Shaytaan! As long as man has life in his body, I will never shut the doors of Taubah for him “

… SubhaanAllah! … If for some reason we slip, we should remind ourselves of the Kindness and Mercy of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala …

Allah says: ‘Fasta’iz billaahi minash shaytaanir rajeem‘ … (Seek refuge in Allah! )

When a person is going through these whisperings of Shaytaan then one should read  ~ ‘Aoozu billaahi minash shaytaanir rajeem‘ …

One is urged in the Hadith when one becomes overwhelmed by the whisperings of Shaytaan, to read ~ ‘Aamantu billaahi warusulih’ …

An excerpt taken from a Ladies Tarbiyat Programme ~ Moulana Naeem Motala Saheb DB explains :

…

What is the Qur’aan? It is a ‘Letter’ from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala! In 30 Para’s …

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala has blessed us with great bounties that we cannot enumerate! We just make a little bit of Ibadaat and in lieu of that Ibadaat, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala accepts our little effort and gives us a perpetual Jannat. 

Of the great bounties that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala has given us is the Glorious Qur’aan-e-Majeed! Have you pondered on the beautiful message sent to you? This is the greatest ‘link’ and means of ‘Connecting ourselves to Allah‘. 

Rasullulah Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam has said: “The best of you is he who learns the Qur’an and teaches Others.” (Al-Bukhari)

We get attracted to voices reciting ‘illicit poetry’ and ‘An-Nasheed’ that have no meaning, and show love and inclination towards listening to it again and again. Yet, when a beautiful recitation of the Qur’aan-e-Majeed is heard we cannot utter a single ‘SubhaanAllah’… The more we will read, the more Ta’alluq is created, the more Muhabbat for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala we will attain …Our hearts would never become satiated with the Kalaam of Allah and will desire to listen to more and more …
