Know the Limitations of your Enemy

February 8, 2020Science & Faith

“Verily he has no power over those who believe and put their trust only in their Lord. His power is only over those who obey and follow him, and those who join partners with Him” (Surah An Nahl 16:99-100)

This Ayah mentions how we make Satan have power over us. If we put our trust only in Allah, and we have firm belief in Allah, then Satan can’t penetrate into our thoughts-that-become-actions. Thoughts are like traffic that’ll keep on coming, but you have to decide which vehicle to ride on. Not every thought is worthy of being transformed into an action. We have to filter the thoughts coming from Satan and drop them, and only ride on thoughts that have a sound origin.

From one angle satan is a powerful enemy because it is ➡ invisible to us, on the other hand, satan can become totally helpless because all it can do is to attack our thoughts and cannot force us into actions.
