Save yourself from Satan-2

<span class="content1">&nbsp; <p>When a person steps on to the path of closeness to Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta&rsquo;ala), Satan feels a great sorrow. It desires to inflict harm in any way possible. First, it tries to make that person (the <i>Salik </i>) abandon Salaat and the Fardh and the Wajib. When it understands that there will be no success in this regard, then it thinks that even bodily harm and sorrow is also a respite and starts putting its whispers in to the heart of the <i>Salik </i>. now the <i>Salik </i>thinks that these whisperings of Satan (<i> waswasa </i>) are coming into my heart and starts getting worried. This is also a deceit of Satan. That is why the <i>Salik </i>should always try to defeat the <i>Salik </i>and should not never relax his/her watch. The <i>Salik </i>should follow the following:</p> <p>1. Pray to Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta&rsquo;ala) to save one from Satan and come into the protection of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta&rsquo;ala). <br /> 2. Try to be aware of the deceit and the tricks of Satan. When the <i>Salik </i>understands this, Satan cannot do anything. It is like when the thief sees that the owner of the house is awake, he runs away. <br /> 3. Do not pay any attention to the whisperings of Satan and draw one&rsquo;s heart away from the whisperings of Satan. <br /> 4. Keep the tongue and the heart, both busy in the rememberance (<i> Dhikr </i>) of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta&rsquo;ala). <br /> &nbsp;</p> <p>On the day of Qiyamah, when all the judgments will be done, then all the dwellers of Hell will go to Satan (who will be present there) and curse it that you fell and took all of us down. Then Satan will say that your cursing me is incorrect. You fell with your own wish. I have no power over you. I did invite you towards misguidance, but you came out of your own choice. So, instead of cursing me, curse yourself.</p> <p>My dear! I had taken you on the path of the Sahaba (May Allah be well pleased with all of them). You had developed that <i>NIsbah </i>of the Sahaba. I had thought that the person who flew in the air would not have any worth with you more than a fly and the person who walked on water would not have any value than particle on the surface of water. But it is really sad that you listened to some slick polished talk and fell for it. My dear! Dajjal will say and do even more. I don&rsquo;t know what will happen to you then. In Nuldarg, a person came and started calling the Adhaan as a cry of an owl. He made people break fasts in the month of Ramadhan. These kind of people have no value for Shariah. Do not ever fal for the words of these drug addicts and delinquents. May Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta&rsquo;ala) protect us from these devils within human beings.</p> A <i>Salik </i>should never be careless of the deceit of Satan, because it is such a sworn enemy that it will not rest until it destroys us. Carelessness about such an enemy is suicide. <p>No person can be saved from Satan except through following the Shariah and the perfect imitation of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and this is the work of the <i>Ahle Safa </i>(The people with purity) otherwise ignorant Sufis are the jokers of Satan.</p> <p>Satan came in front of Hadhrat Junaid Baghdadi (May Allah shower His Mercy on him) in the guise of a human being, wearing a woolen robe, with a Tasbeeh in his neck and told Hadhrat Junaid: Sir! I want to remain with you and gain blessings from you. He gave him permission. For 20 years, it stayed with him and served him, but never found even one moment to misguide Hadhrat Junaid. While going, it asked Hadhrat Junaid: Did you recognize me? He said: I knew who you were when I saw you. It said: I have never seen anyone as firm as you. Hadhrat Junaid said: Away you accursed! Even while going you want that anything (like pride etc.) should ruin my faith.</p> <p>There is no other cure for defeating Satan other than coming in the protection of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta&rsquo;ala). This is because Satan is a dog whom Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta&rsquo;ala) has sent on human beings. If we spend our time shooing it, our valuable time will be wasted and we will have to suffer for it. It is better that we should turn to the Master of that dog and come in His protection, so that He takes away that dog from us.</p> <strong>Taken from Mawaaiz-e-Hasana of Hadhrat Muhaddith-e-Deccan (May Allah shower His Mercy on him) ss </strong></span>
