Chapter 18

Devils and their Activities

Preface:

1. Have you noticed? From the beginning of Man's creation, this enemy (Satan) has been with our holiness ancestors, and has been to this instant with their descendants. Up to the required extent, Almighty Allah has given notices to Mankind of this inner enemy's (Satan's) enmity, through His Prophets and Messengers, peace be upon them. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, has also stated appreciable explanations about this issue. Unfortunately, due to cooperation of Nafs and imposture of this enemy of Allah, people have rarely perceived it.

2. Have you noticed? Satan is Man's enemy. He is however, the enemy of Man's drawing nearer to Glorious Allah. If, Satan is able and succeed, then he puts great efforts in rendering futile the deeds, and in annihilating the Faith. But, if nothing is accomplished, then Satan creates obstacles on the person's behavior (So look) towards Proximity with Glorious God. This kind of actions are the ultimate purpose of Satan.

3. Have you noticed? The strong inner enemy or interrupter (highway robber) of servant's Union with Almighty Allah, is Satan. Besides, being impossible for us to see this creature, at the initial estates, he takes resides in Heart. Thereby, he by using the egoistic and sensual forces, and corrupt immoral desires, embezzles the Computer of Heart. There, he's wiring, metaphorically speaking, in a sensitive way in this machinery, to his own advantage and to disadvantage of the person. This will enable Satan to prevent the person from a good act just by the smallest Temptations.

4. Have you noticed? This wiring system is meant to be the filling of Heart's Cells with variety of greed, jealousy, egotism, sensuality, envy, vengeance and other corrupt human desires. These will be placed in most people's Hearts, and the effect can be clearly seen in their accomplishments. The Generous Qur'an has called this in many verses as:

meaning that there are diseases in their Hearts.

5. Have you noticed? In addition to the above mentioned destruction's), in course of time, Satan by using the opportunity places in Heart the Nuclei of jealousy, envy, corrupt social competitions, parsimony, apathy and similar unlawful sensuality's, along with other immoral qualities as well. So that occasionally by means of each of these ones, Satan may easily make the person assault people's body and property, and that the person may secure his life out of blood of Allah's creatures.

6. Have you noticed? This kind of people when it comes to fulfill their corrupt desires, they gradually tend not to be ashamed of people, and not to fear Almighty Allah, or religious or civil laws.

7. Have you noticed? Brain is as the archive for sensible occurrences and perceptions.

The index for these occurrences is placed in Heart. This index works in such a way that any time Satan wants, he can review these occurrences in person's mind with full perception. By making the person remember (by reminding) that occurrence, Satan can motivate the person towards either evil or good affairs. Especially in the contemporary age, when the prevalence of Satanic Temptations on people, due to following (obeying) Nafs, has reached the maximum.

8. Have you noticed? The mentioned Temptations do embitter the leisure hours on Mankind, they even, for propagation of destruction, do draw the attention of mind matters of which there is no good reflection in mind. Of course, when opening the index, they do fascinate the person by making him observe the contents, and force him to get excited for corrupt acts.

9. Have you noticed? Therefore, our contemporary people can not even for few limited minutes relieve themselves from the claws of this kind of Temptations which are originated from the study of the mentioned indexes of the heart.

10. Have you noticed? That if we were to knowledgeably become aware (make ourselves conscious of) controlling these factual phenomenon's, then we discover that the source for Man's peace is related to finding about this mentioned secret. The short way for this would be persistency in Almighty Allah's Remembrance (Dhiker) along with Observation of things in the Exhibition (world) to perceive the Greatness, Glory and Perfection of Almighty Allah therefrom. Each of these two acts is in its turn of the most common Unconditional Obedience's and savior of the Heart from the claws of Temptations. The necessity of Remembrance (Dhiker) in 45 verses of the Holy Qur'an and the importance of examining the things for observing the Maker's Beauty and Perfection therein in 2500 verses of the Untouched Qur'an of Islam, are proven and enlightened. I have arranged and collected the book of Daleel-uz-Zakireen (the Guide for those who engage in Remembrance of Allah) and the six Goblets for the Observation of the Maker's Beauty and Perfection.

11. Have you noticed? In the past ages, Devils were trying to inflame wars and disarrangement's among different countries. However, later due to excess domination on Mankind, they started to put in fight (war) state to state or tribe with tribe. Since, their influence on Mankind increased more, they managed to make village with village opposite one another, and to bring them to fights and conflicts.

12. Have you noticed? Since, now people have fully paid attention to egotism and are following the Nafs, then the power range for Devils has enlarged. They have managed to bring conflicts between neighbors, and from door to door. Hence, they have prepared places for themselves in each Heart. Thus, they have brought conflicts between son and father, daughter and mother, brother with brother, and briefly speaking, between closest relatives and kinsman, and have ruined them thereby.
