Powerful lessons from the story of Sayeda Adam
that we take from our enemy who is
Shaitan, of course, a
clear enemy
because you can learn a lot from the
strategy of your enemy.
The first is he understands the power of
critical mass and the Jamaa
and appearing as though you're in a group.
And that's why he shape shifts and becomes
in the appearance of an angel, even though
he's a jinn
to gain information.
The second is he understands the power of
peer pressure and persuasion. So when he speaks
to Adam and his wife in the 7th
chapter of the Quran,
he uses a plural form,
I am from a large group of those
who understand that eating from the tree
is best for you. So we unpacked this
last week at Swiss and talked about it
with young learners. And below in the short
letter I sent out to parents,
we give some
activities we can all do to overcome the
tricks of shaytan and also appreciate
the power of real unity and being together.
