In previous piece we read about the weapons sheytaan use to lead us astray. In this post we will see how does he use this weapon and its remedy.

In Surah Nas, chapter 114 of Quran Allaah says:

"Say, 'I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, The Sovereign of mankind. The God of mankind, From the evil of the retreating whisperer - Who whispers [evil] into the breasts of mankind - From among the jinn and mankind." (Surah An-Nas)

EXPLANATION: In this surah, refuge and help of Allaah is asked by using His three qualities to revoke Him. He is the Cherisher, He is our Master and True God. King of the kings , have Power over each and everything. He is Almighty and Only One who can save us from from all the evil we know or we don't know of. He can give us refuge against all kinds of enemies.


In these ayaah, doubt is related to sheytaan. The kind of doubt that is not stopped in one attempt, he doesn't get hopeless on his failures instead he keeps on striking. This is his main weapon as mentioned in above ayaah.

REMEDY: Doubt is the main point from where evil nurtures. His continuous strikes transforms doubt in an illegal desire/tendency for sin, this desire leads to determination which becomes resolution and if not stopped then it ends in the climax of action. To nip this evil in the bud, Allaah advised us to ask for refuge beforehand against these doubts, against a dangerous enemy-sheytaan.

La haula wala quwwata illah billahil alaehil azeem.
Ye khaki apni fitrat mein na noori hai na naari hai.

by Dr. Mahmoud Esmail Sieny " The answer to an ill-deed is an ill-deed or the like thereof. But whosoever pardoneth and amendeth his reward is with Allaah. Surely, He does not love wrong doers." (Al Quran 42:40) History tells us that when Sultan Salahuddin regained Jerusalem from the invading and ruthless Crusaders, who had ninety years earlier massacred and savagely treated its Muslim and Jewish inhabitants, he met a group of Latin Christian women who addressed him, "O Sultan! You see that we are leaving. Among us are mothers, wives, daughters or sisters to the soldiers in captivity with you. These men are our support in life, and if we lose them we will lose everything. But if you leave them for our sake, you will be giving us back our lives." At this our hero Salahuddin smiled and he gave orders that the sons and husbands of those women were to be set free. He went even further and gave money to the women whose supporters were killed in the battle. An irate Frenc

REASON OF EXISTENCE

It so happens that we enter a room for a purpose but the moment we enter, we forget why we came altogether. Then in this brief period our attention diverts to some other task and we get engross in it. And after considerable time we suddenly remember the real task and we have a chance to complete it. The world is like that room, we entered in it with a purpose but we got distracted. before our time comes, we must do something about it or else, we'll be in " khasara" greatest loss after which there is no going back. So what we need to do is be attentive all the time. Keep your purpose in your mind. I know that this is difficult. Allah said so himself that life of a momin is difficult. there's a hadis, I cant remember the exact words the excerpt is: "The path to heaven is filled with thorns and the way to hell is laden with flowers." And that: " The world for a believer is like a prison" So now we are clear about our life and our destiny. both are

I recently had a chance to come to know one of the great writers of Pakistan, Ibne Safi. Ibne Safi He has an ability to engage his reader and take him to places in his mind and than when reader finishes the novel, he has the urge to create exact environment in real. His protagonist obeys, respect the law and makes those around him to do so too. I think about how many minds he revolutionized. How much he changed the society. I am sure he put large amount of effort in salvaging the society and help people to take it to this far. His writings are timeless. They can be used by every individual of any age. He rightly read his times and the way he changed the track of thought of especially young minds is marvellous. His writing proves that he was of the men who don't complaint about circumstances rather stand up and remove the filth silently and efficiently. Their efforts speak of their ache and love for their society, their people.  for more information on Ibne Safi, visit
