Verily all praise is due to Allah. We praise Him, seek His help and ask for his forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil in our souls in from our sinful deeds. Whoever Allah guides, no one can mislead and whoever Allah allows to go astray no one can guide. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, the One, having no partner. And I bear witness that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) is His Servant and Messenger. O\u2019 Allah send your peace and blessings upon him and his family, companions and those who follow his path and guidance to the Day of Judgment.
Indeed Satan has many ways he enters upon the Muslims. He enters the entrances to entice them
and led them astray. One of them is that if a Muslim is from the people of neglect (of his
religion) and sins, he beautifies to him sins and desires so to keep him far away from obedience
of Allah and His Messenger (Peace and Blessings be upon him).
Say (O Muhammad): "O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Exceed not the limits in your religion (by believing in something) other than the truth, and do not follow the vain desires of people who went astray in times gone by, and who misled many, and strayed (themselves) from the Right Path." [Maidah: 77]
And from tricks of Satan towards these extremists, is that he beautifies to them the following of desires and flawed understandings of the religion. He prevents them from referring to the people of knowledge so that they (the people of knowledge) will not guide and make them aware of that which is correct. Satan does this so that they will continue to be in a state of error and loss.
Is he who is on a clear proof from his Lord, like those for whom their evil deeds that they do are beautified for them, while they follow their own lusts (evil desires)? [Muhammad: 14]
the punishment of thieves, adulterers, etc.)]; and others not entirely clear. So as for those in
whose hearts there is a deviation (from the truth) they follow that which is not entirely
clear thereof, seekingAl -Fitnah (polytheism and trials, etc.), and seeking for its hidden
meanings [Ali-imran: 7]
