And this person is a shaytaan as persons a devil, they're always asking me to do something Haram is always trying to get me to gossip, or they're trying to bring me into a bad space. And at the level of martyrdom, you're ready to cut those people out, either cut them out from being able to have any influence over you at all, or even now you're trying to influence them and they're not influencing you. Right. So the stage of martyrdom is where

goal.
