Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Raheem
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
SATAN'S MEETING
Satan [Iblis] called a world-wide
convention of his demons.
In his opening address he
said,
"We can't keep Muslims from
going to the Mosque.
We can't keep them from
reading their Qur'ans and knowing the truth.
We can't even keep them
from forming an intimate relationship with Allah and His messenger Muhammad."
"Once they gain a connection
with Allah, our power over them will be broken.
So let them go to their
Mosques; let them have their covered dish dinners, BUT steal their time,
so they don't have the time to develop a relationship with Allah and His
Messenger Muhammad."
"This is what I want you
to do," said the devil:
"Distract them from gaining
hold of their Allah and maintaining that vital connection throughout their
day!"
"How shall we do this?"
His demons shouted.
"Keep them busy in
the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their
minds," he answered.
"Tempt them to spend, spend,
spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow.
Persuade the wives to go
to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week,
10-12 hours a day, so they
can afford their empty lifestyles."
"Keep them from spending
time with their children.
As their families fragment,
soon their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work! Over-stimulate
their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice."
"Entice them to play the
radio or cassette player whenever they drive.
And to keep the TV, VCR,
CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home.
And see to it that every
store and restaurant in the world plays music constantly."
"This will jam their minds
and break that union with Allah and His messenger Muhammad.
And fill the coffee tables
with magazines and newspapers.
Pound their minds with the
news 24 hours a day.
Invade their driving moments
with billboards.
Flood their mailboxes with
junk mail, mail order catalogues, sweepstakes and every kind of newsletter
and promotional offering free products, services and false hope."
"Keep skinny, beautiful models
on magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty
is what's important, so that they'll become dissatisfied with their wives.
Keep the wives too tired
to love their husbands at night.
Give them headaches too!
If they don't give their
husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere.
That will fragment their
families quickly!"
Give them storybooks to distract
them from teaching their children
the real meaning of Salat.
Keep them so busy that they
will not go out in nature and reflect on Allah's creation.
Send them to amusement parks,
sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead.
Keep them busy, busy, busy!"
And when they meet for spiritual
fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with
a troubled conscience.
Crowd their lives with so
many good causes they have no time to seek the Power from Allah.
Soon they will be thinking
they are working with their own strength, sacrificing their health and
family for the good of the cause."
"It will work!" "It
will work!"
It was quite a plan!
The demons went eagerly to
their assignments causing Muslims everywhere to get busier and more rushed,
going here and there.
Having little time for their
Allah or their families.
Having no time to tell others
about the Power of Allah and His messenger
Muhammad to change lives.
I guess the question is,
has the devil been successful in his schemes?
You be the judge!!!!! |
