Omar Suleiman – The Beginning And The End – EP 57 Stronger than the Devil

			So the interesting thing about the Quran is that Allah subhanaw taala constantly warns us about the
vigilance of shavonne and how you know how dedicated he is to leading you astray. But at the end of
it all, Allah subhanaw taala says indicate the shape on he can a lot etha that shape Vaughn's entire
plan, despite him working on you 24 hours, despite him feasting on your insecurities and your
desires, his plan is actually pretty weak. Okay, he comes to you with all of these things. And you
know, he tries to take you away from Allah subhanaw taala. But at the end of the day, what a loss of
hundreds Allah has given you is enough to suffice you. And what you really need to be careful with
		

			is one shavon attacks you from all the different directions that he comes to you with, you really
need to understand what he's trying to do with each of those different directions. And so some of
the scholars, they actually commented very powerfully, when Allah subhanaw taala talks about the
promise of shape or to attack from the left and from the right. And from in front and from behind.
They said that he'll come to you a different way. So he might come to you, for example, from your
left side would say, with since so he'll try to lead you astray with a sin, he'll try to get you to
bite on a sin. And if he can't get you to sin, right to just commit an outright sin, then what he'll
		

			do is he'll come to you from your right side, and the right side usually represents and has an act
and all that that is noble good deeds, and all that is that is noble. So for example, shaitan will
come to you and try to corrupt your Salah, he'll try to corrupt your fasting, he'll try to corrupt
your account, your sabbatical, whatever it may be, he'll try to take something noble, and corrupt
your intention so that it's no longer a noble deed because the intention is corrupt. So he'll try to
lead you astray from your right side. And then if he can't get you from there, then he will come to
you from in front of you. And how does he come to you from in front of you? He decorates things he
		

			puts the Xena, right? He tries to call you to it throws these constant commercials at you, right
these ads that you you know, do this, do this, do this, do this, just try this try that it'll help
you it'll make you feel better. so on so forth, he keeps on decorating these things. You know, the
man been sitting Rahim Allah to Allah, He said that he was commenting on a statement from one of the
tabbing. That shavon will will constantly be in front of every sin, and try to draw your attention
to it. And he says that if I was to see a woman in my dreams that I that I recognize is not helpful
for me. I'll study for basally I lower my gaze, even in my dreams, even when it's not hot, I'm to do
		

			so to prepare myself for the attack of shape on when I'm awake, right? Because Satan is constantly
trying to draw your gaze to these different things, right? So they'll come to you from in front of
you, he'll come to you from behind you. But do the worse check with doubts and hesitation. So you
find yourself progressing spiritually, you find that the religion is opening its doors for you that
you're finally starting to enjoy these hallowed halls and enjoy your prayer and recitation of Quran.
And then an islamophobe says something about your religion that you're not equipped to answer. And
suddenly, you now have hesitation and doubts and you're no longer able to spiritually progress which
		

			is why I lost pounds Anna says that in the Maya law seminary by the healer lemma that those who
truly fear a loss of Hannah hood to Allah or have this great of a loss of Hannah to Allah are the
scholars are the people of knowledge. Why? Because when when people throw these doubts, okay, or
they try to shut doubts surrounding the religion, they can easily counter them, because they already
know and some handle I want you to think about this. You know, how many times has an islamophobe
said something about the profit slice number said something about your religion, and it almost took
you away from the religion. But then when you went and studied that issue, you actually came closer
		

			to your religion, right? We were talking about slavery the other day, right? We had we had our
webcast on slavery and some how to love that concept of you know, this topic horrified many Muslims
but when you actually study the humanity of the Prophet, slice of the mercy of the Prophet slice of
them, how groundbreaking the initiatives of the Prophet slice element, this religion were in regards
to that evil institution, you actually come closer to your religion, you actually love a lot more
you actually love the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam more and so that's really what's what's
important to recognize here, that whatever he comes to you with a last kind of data has given you
		

			more, right so if he comes to you from your left side with your sins, Allah has given you something
that gives you far more pleasure than sin Allah has given you hessa not good deeds and Allah has
given you permissible alternatives to those since then when he comes to you with your right side and
tries to turn your focus away from Allah subhana wa tada into something that's not Noble. Allah
Subhana Allah to Allah
		

			is so much greater, and a loss of how to which is, you know, it's so much more pleasing to please
Allah subhanaw taala than to please other people because you realize that that trying to do things
for the sake of other people is really not that fulfilling at the end of the day, in fact that it
makes you less happy, right? But trying to do things to please Allah subhana wa to add those sincere
good deeds just between you and Allah, you're actually greater. So you squash the planet shape on
from your right, you squash the planet shape on from the left, you see the things that he decorates
in front of you, and you go, Wait a minute, I'm not gonna miss Jenna. And the things that Allah has
		

			prepared for me and paradise for this silly, you know, deed for these things that he's decorating in
front of me, right? I'm going to wait for what Allah Subhana Allah has promised me and assured me so
you lower your gaze, knowing that Allah subhanaw taala has prepared for you something far greater.
And when he comes to you from behind you with doubts and hesitation, you disable him with the
knowledge of this religion that Allah Subhana Allah commanded you to pursue. So yes, he comes to
you. He's vigilant, he comes to you from all different directions. But nevertheless his plan is
indeed a week plan. Because Allah has enabled you Allah has equipped you and you know, strength and
		

			weakness. These are both relative terms, right? What was considered a strong enemy, you know, 1000
years ago, would be a very weak enemy today think about the weaponry of an army 1000 years ago if it
was the strongest army on Earth at that time, if it was to face the weakest army on earth today,
because of what that army is equipped with. Right that army will the the so called strong army will
be wiped out so Allah has equipped you with enough to fight the shape on and so you know, despite
everything that he has indicated, shape Ani life, verily the shape on and his plan are weak and we
ask Allah Subhana Allah to grant a strength and to grant us victory over him and the evil of
		

			ourselves.
