Among the famous tricks of Satan and his constituents is
that they don't come forward to us, submitters, in a
direct opposition. They cleverly scheme while walking
with us on our straight path. For example, they won't
come and ask us directly to follow them instead of God.
That would be a straightforward approach most submitters
will not easily fall for. What they would do instead is
leave us to proclaim our faith, celebrate our
submission, praise God, believe in His messengers, and
study His proofs. At the same time they join us on our
path just to confuse God's teachings for us or trick us
to SELECTIVELY uphold His laws.
Under their influence, we follow some commands
but ignore, reject, or abuse others. Triggered by their
endless lists of idols and their wicked logic and
justifications, we transgress some of God's limits, and
gradually lose our guided judgment. Once we start
adopting some of their reasoning over God's, they
rejoice and strive to inflate our egos in order to take
our Submission for granted and never reevaluate our
stands. They make us imagine that we are real
submitters on the right path, while we are starting to
PARTIALLY live a devilish illusion on the straying path.
Examine Yourself
[18:103] Say, "Shall I
tell you who the worst losers are?
[18:104] "They are the
ones whose works in this life are totally astray,
but they think that they
are doing good."
[35:8] Note the one whose evil
work is adorned in his eyes,
until he thinks that it is righteous.
GOD thus sends astray whoever wills (to go
astray), and He guides whoever wills (to be guided).
Therefore, do not grieve over them. GOD is fully aware
of everything they do.
[3:23] Have you noted those who
were given part
of the scripture, and
how they are invited to uphold
this scripture of GOD, and apply it
to their own lives, then some of them turn away in
aversion?
[2:85] ...Do
you believe in part of the scripture and disbelieve in part?
What should be the retribution for those among you who do
this, except
humiliation in this life, and a far worse retribution on the
Day of Resurrection? GOD is never unaware of anything you
do.
[15:90] We will deal with
the
dividers.
[15:91] They accept
the Quran only partially.
[15:92]
By your Lord, we will question them all,
[15:93]
about everything they
have done.
As indicated in 18:103-104 and 35:8, the danger
of sinking into this illusion lies in the fact that we
don't perceive it. It is a fake, ugly world adorned in
our eyes by the schemes of the devils, while God is
augmenting our aversion and allowing us to plunge deeper
into our loss -an unchangeable divine system as
a consequence of our choice and the continued failure to
recognize our mistake and repent for (4:120, 17:64,
24:39). We walk on earth in a make-belief state acting
as victorious, righteous, happy submitters in parts of
the day while we are egoistic transgressors without
perceiving in other parts! Our souls are progressively
eaten up deep inside, which undermines and weakens our
outside garments of righteousness that we all claim to
have. We turn into FAKE ENTITIES with BASELESS
PRINCIPLES made up by our egos and /or the other idols
that mislead us. A tragic loss! Here is our reality when
we become fake believers partially tricked by the
illusion of Satan and failing to repent :
Believers Or Hypocrites?
[4:60] Have you noted
those who claim
that they believe in what was revealed to you,
and in what was revealed before you,
then uphold
the unjust laws of their idols?
They were commanded to reject such laws.
Indeed, it is the devil's wish to
lead them far astray.
A Chip On Their Shoulders
[63:4] When
you see them, you may be impressed by
their looks. And when they speak, you may
listen to their eloquence.
They are like standing logs. They think that
every call is intended against them.
These are the real enemies; beware of
them. GOD condemns them; they have deviated.
[57:14]
They will call upon
them, "Were we not with you?" They will answer,
"Yes, but you cheated your souls, hesitated,
doubted, and became misled by wishful thinking, until
GOD's judgment came. You were diverted from GOD
by illusions.
[13:33] ...
Indeed, the schemes of those who disbelieve
have been adorned in their eyes.
They are thus diverted from the right path.
Whomever GOD sends astray can never find a guiding
teacher.
[2:9] In trying to
deceive GOD and those who believe, they only deceive
themselves without perceiving.
[2:10] In their minds there is a
disease.
Consequently, GOD augments their
disease. They have
incurred a painful retribution for their lying.
[2:12] In fact, they are
evildoers, but they do not perceive.
The Winners and the Losers
[35:39] He is the One who made
you inheritors of the earth. Subsequently, whoever
chooses to disbelieve does so to his own detriment.
The
disbelief of the disbelievers only augments their Lord's
abhorrence towards them. The disbelief
of the disbelievers plunges them deeper into loss.
[9:9]
They traded
away GOD's revelations for a cheap price.
Consequently,
they repulsed the people from His path. Miserable indeed
is what they did!
[22:12] He
idolizes beside GOD what possesses no
power to harm him or benefit him; such is the
real straying.
[22:13] He idolizes what is
more apt to harm him than benefit him. What a miserable
lord! What a miserable companion!
[2:81] Indeed,
those
who earn sins and become surrounded by their evil work will
be the dwellers of Hell; they abide in it forever.
As submitters struggling every minute of our life to
hold fast to the rope of God, we should be armed with
what will enable us to recognize and disown these fake
entities as well as their fake values. The ONLY
detector a truthful submitter and believer will use is
the proven word that came down from the true Lord and
Master. His ultimate truth is our only judge that will
save us from turning into fake submitters and guard us
against all the fake principles surrounding us.
[10:32] Such is GOD, your
rightful Lord. What is there after
the truth, except falsehood? How could you
disregard all this?
[10:36] Most of them
follow nothing but conjecture, and
conjecture is no substitute for the truth.
GOD is fully aware of everything they do.
[14:27] GOD
strengthens those who believe with the proven word, in
this life and in the Hereafter. And GOD sends the
transgressors astray. Everything is in
accordance with GOD's will.
[22:62]
It is a fact
that GOD is the Truth, while the
setting up of any idols beside Him constitutes a
falsehood, and that GOD is the Most High,
the Supreme.
[10:82]
GOD establishes the truth with
His
words, despite the criminals.
[17:105] Truthfully,
we sent it down, and with the truth it came down.
We did not send you except as a bearer of good news, as
well as a warner.
[3:62] Absolutely,
this is the narration of the truth.
Absolutely, there is no god except GOD. Absolutely, GOD
is the Almighty, Most Wise.
Peaceful Friday, salaam and God bless.
