Satan Tempts Believer With False Desires
[ALLAH’S Quran – 4:118-119] “whom Allah has cursed. He (the Satan) said; Surely I will take an appointed share from Your slaves, and I will lead them astray, and I will tempt them with false hopes, and I will command them, whereby they shall slit the ears of cattle, and I will command them, whereby they shall alter the creation of Allah. Whoever takes Satan for friend, instead of Allah, incurs an obvious loss.”
The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) has said:
[Bukhari, Book #72, Hadith #815] “ Narrated ‘Abdullah: ALLAH has cursed those women who practice tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and those who remove their face hairs, and those who create a space between their teeth artificially to look beautiful, and such women as changing the features created by ALLAH. Why then should I not curse those whom the Prophet has cursed? And that is in ALLAH’s Book. i.e. His Saying: ‘And what the Apostle gives you take it and what he forbids you abstain (from it).’ (59.7)
[Bukhari, Book #34, Hadith#299] “Narrated ‘Aun bin Abu Juhaifa: My father bought a slave who practiced the profession of cupping. (My father broke the slave’s instruments of cupping). I asked my father why he had done so. He replied, “The Prophet forbade the acceptance of the price of a dog or blood, and also forbade the profession of tattooing, getting tattooed and receiving or giving Riba, (usury), and cursed the picture-makers.”
Functions Of Iblis/ Shaytan
Satan makes them promises and creates in them false desires, but satan’s promises are nothing but deception. [4:120]
The Evil one threatens you with poverty and bids you to conduct unseemly. Allah promises you His forgiveness and bounties. And Allah careth for all and He knoweth all things. [2:268]
The Evil One has got the better of them: so he has made them lose the remembrance of Allah. They are the Party of the Evil One. Truly, it is the Party of the Evil One that will perish! [58:19]
O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan’s handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper. [5:90]
Satan’s plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain? [5:91]
Never did We send an apostle or a prophet before thee, but, when he framed a desire, Satan threw some (vanity) into his desire: but Allah will cancel anything (vain) that Satan throws in, and Allah will confirm (and establish) His Signs: for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom: [22:52]
Remember Satan made their (sinful) acts seem alluring to them and said: “No one among men can overcome you this day, while I am near to you”: But when the two forces came in sight of each other, he turned on his heels, and said: “Lo! I am clear of you; lo! I see what ye see not; Lo! I fear Allah. for Allah is strict in punishment.” [8:48]
“Did I not enjoin on you, O ye Children of Adam, that ye should not worship Satan; for that he was to you an enemy avowed?- [36:60]
“He did lead me astray from the Message (of Allah. after it had come to me! Ah! the Evil One is but a traitor to man!” [25:29]
By Allah, We (also) sent (Our apostles) to Peoples before thee; but Satan made, (to the wicked), their own acts seem alluring: He is also their patron today, but they shall have a most grievous penalty. [16:63]
Verily Satan is an enemy to you: so treat him as an enemy. He only invites his adherents, that they may become Companions of the Blazing Fire. [35:6]
O ye Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you, in the same manner as He got your parents out of the Garden, stripping them of their raiment, to expose their shame: for he and his tribe watch you from a position where ye cannot see them: We made the evil ones friends (only) to those without faith. [7:27]
O ye who believe! Enter into Islam whole-heartedly, and follow not the footsteps of the evil one; for he is to you an avowed enemy. [2:208]
O ye who believe! follow not Satan’s footsteps: if any will follow the footsteps of Satan, he will (but) command what is shameful and wrong: and were it not for the grace and mercy of Allah on you, not one of you would ever have been pure: but Allah doth purify whom He pleases: and Allah is One Who hears and knows (all things). [24:21]
Say to My servants that they should (only) say those things that are est: for Satan doth sow dissensions among them: For Satan is to man an avowed enemy. [17:53]

Unrestrained Glances: Poisons Of The Heart
The unrestrained glance results in the one who looks becoming attracted to what he sees, and in the imprinting of an image of what he sees in his heart. This can result in several kinds of corruption in the heart of the servant. The following are a number of them:
It has been related that the Prophet(Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) once said: The glance is a poisoned arrow of shaytan.
Whoever lowers his gaze for Allah, He will bestow upon him a refreshing sweetness, which he will find in his heart on the day he meets Him.
Shaytan enters with the glance, for he travels with it, faster than the wind blowing through an empty place. He makes what is seen appear more beautiful than it really is, and transforms it into an idol for the heart to worship. Then he promises it false rewards, lights the fire of desires within it, and fuels it with the wood of forbidden actions, which the servant would not have committed had it not been for this distorted image…
This distracts the heart and makes it forget its more important concerns. It stands between it and them, and so the heart loses its straight path and falls into the pit of desire and ignorance.
Allah [Mighty and Glorious is He] says: Do not let your eyes look beyond them, desiring the luxuries of this worldly life. And do not obey those whose hearts We have made heedless of Our remembrance, who follow ˹only˺ their desires and whose state is ˹total˺ loss. [Source:- ‘Quran’ ~Surah al-Kahf: Ayah # 28]
The unrestrained gaze causes all three [3]afflictions. It has been said that between the eye and the heart is
an immediate connection. if the eyes are corrupted, then the heart follows. It becomes like a rubbish heap where all the dirt and filth and rottenness collect, and so there is no room for love for Allah, relating all matters to Him, awareness of being in His presence, and feeling joy at His proximity – only the opposite of these things can inhabit such a heart.
Staring and gazing without restraint is disobedience to Allah!
‘Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that is more purifying for them. Surely Allah is aware of what they do. [Source:- Quran ~Surah an-Nur: Ayah # 30]
Only the one who obeys Allah’s commands is content in this world, and only the servant who obeys Allah will survive in the next world. Letting the gaze run loose also makes the heart blind to distinguishing between truth and falsehood, between the sunnah and innovation: while lowering it for Allah [the Mighty and Exalted] gives it a penetrating, true, and distinguishing insight.
A righteous man once said: Whoever enriches his outward behavior by following the sunnah, and makes his inward soul wealthy through contemplation, and averts his gaze away from looking at what is forbidden, and avoids anything of a doubtful nature, and feeds solely on what is halal, his inner sight will never falter.
Rewards for actions come in kind. Whoever lowers his gaze from what Allah has forbidden, Allah will give his inner sight abundant reward [Source:- Ibn al Qayyim al Jawziyya]

Freedom From The Black Stinking Mud
Allah narrates in the Quran, The Creation of man from the black stinking mud which is dry and resounding makes noise, this black stinking mud characterizes the human characteristics of anger, greed, jealousy, hatred, and is covered with pretense, which lead man to cause sins, to be rude, or wrong other people and a variety of other sins, The resounding nature which is referred in the Quran refers to ego and pride.
All these characteristics move man away from Allah, from his worship and remembrance, and move him away from the companionship from Allah’s friends, the Awliya and Ambiya, and they move him into the darkness of the hellfire
Quran Surah Al Hijr (Quran translation)
Verse 26. And indeed, We originated man’s (chemical) genesis from that dry sounding clay which, (first) having grown old (and under the heat of the sun and other chemical and biological effects), had turned into black stinking mud.
Verse 27. And We created jinn before this from a smokeless blazing fire.
Verse 28. And (recall) when your Lord said to the angels: ‘I am about to create a human organism from old (and) black stinking, resounding mud.
The Other side of Man
But then there is another side of man, this side is the Angel side of man, whose main constituent is Noor.
Allah then said that will complete the creation of his by breathing his spirit into him, A shallow interpretation of what this verse means without going into the details of tasawwuf is that Allah put noor into him.
All the angels prostrated before Adam, this was the Sajda of Tazeem which was only prohibited in the Shariah of the Holy Prophet Muhammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam and was allowed before that
This noor refers to the Angel side of man, when a man worships Allah and remembers him, and stays in the constant companionship of Allah’s friends this Angel side of man takes precedence but when he stays away from worship and remembrance of Allah and stays away from the companionship of the Awliya and Ambiya, the black stinking mud of his will take precedence,
Allah’s friends, the Awliya Allah conquer this black stinking mud of thiers, they constantly are in remembrance of Allah and keep asking for Allah’s forgiveness to remain in this state of thiers
Allah reveals in the Holy Quran this other Angel side of man
Quran Surah Al Hijr (Quraan translation)
29. So when I accomplish the perfection of his (physical) constitution into his real being and breathe My (divine) spirit into (the inner self of) this (human physical) organism, then fall down prostrate before him.’
30. So, (no sooner did the light of Allah’s effulgence illumine the human organism than) all the angels fell down in prostration together,
31. Except Iblis. He refused to join those who prostrated themselves.
32. (Allah) said: ‘O Iblis, what has happened to you that you have not joined those who have prostrated themselves?’
33. (Iblis) replied: ‘I cannot be the one who should fall down prostrate before a human being You have created from old (and) black stinking, sounding mud.’
34. (Allah) said: ‘Then get out from here, for you are indeed the cursed one (the outcast).
35. And, verily, the curse will (persistently) rest upon you till the Day of Recompense.’
36. He said: ‘O Lord, then grant me respite till the Day (when) people will be raised up (again).’
37. Allah said: ‘So, indeed, you are amongst those granted respite,
38. Till the Day of the appointed time (Resurrection).’
The Promise of Iblees
Iblees then says that he will lead all people astray except those exalted servants who have gained freedom from the characteristics of the Black stinking Mud
Quraan Surah Al Hijr (Quraan translation)
39. Iblis said: ‘O Lord because You have led me astray, I will (also) best adorn and embellish for them (the sins, revolts, and violations) in the earth and will certainly lead all of them astray by all means,
40. Except for those exalted servants of Yours who have attained freedom (from my deceits and intrigues of the ill-commanding selves).’
Tassawuf is about knowing one’s self, Self-contemplation, suppressing this black stinking mud and emergence of the other side of man which is the noorani side of Man, this is achieved through the following the command of the Holy Prophet Muhammed Salalaahu Alaihi wasallam and remaining in the content companionship of Allah’s servants.
The Characteristics of this other side of man is also present from this hadees from Sahih Muslim
Sahih Muslim Book 37, Number 6623:
Hanzala Usayyidi, who was amongst the scribes of Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him). reported: I met Abu Bakr. He said: Who are you? He (Hanzala) said: Hanzala has turned to be a hypocrite. He (Abu Bakr) said: Hallowed be Allah, what are you saying?
Thereupon he said: I say that when we are in the company of Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) we ponder over Hell-Fire and Paradise as if we are seeing them with our very eyes and when we are away from Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) we attend to our wives, our children, our business; most of these things (pertaining to After-life) slip out of our minds.
Abu Bakr said: By Allah, I also experience the same. So I and Abu Bakr went to Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said to him: Allah’s Messenger, Hanzala has turned to be a hypocrite. Thereupon Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: What has happened to you?
I said: Allah’s Messenger, when we are in your company, we are reminded of Hell-Fire and Paradise as if we are seeing them with our own eyes, but whenever we go away from you and attend to our wives, children, and business, much of these things go out of our minds.
Thereupon Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if your state of mind remains the same as it is in my presence and you are always busy in remembrance (of Allah), the Angels will shake hands with you in your beds and in your paths but, Hanzala, time should be devoted (to the worldly affairs) and time (should be devoted to prayer and meditation). He (the Holy Prophet) said this thrice.
Sahih Muslim Book 37, Number 6623:
In the above Hadees, the Holy Prophet MuhammedSalalaahu Alaihi wasallam said that
“By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if your state of mind remains the same as it is in my presence and you are always busy in remembrance (of Allah), the Angels will shake hands with you in your beds”
This hadith shows the effect of the nearness of the Holy Prophet Muhammed Salalaahu Alaihi wasallam and his exalted servants like the Awliya and the effect of prayer and worship and he also said that
“Time should be devoted (to the worldly affairs) and time (should be devoted to prayer and meditation). He (the Holy Prophet) said this thrice.”
