Eleventh: Repressing Evil Thoughts

Allah, exalted be He, was narrating about the Accursed Satan: {“...Then I will come to them from in front of them and behind them, from their right and their left, and You will not find most of them to be thankful} (Q. 13:17).  He, peace and blessings be upon him and his progeny, said: ((There is no one, except that s/he is accompanied by an angel and a demon. When the angel hugs him, he provides him with good thoughts, and when the demon hugs him, he inspires him with evil thoughts)).

The only thing that happens in the heart are whispers to you and enjoins you to go astray. So, if he enjoins you to do a sin, and you disobeyed him, then he will enjoin you to do another. He is well-experienced in leading astray, so he leads every one astray from the way which is suitable to him. And the soul agrees with him and it says to its owner what means (for example): “The years and the days are so many, so learn and maybe you will work and apply what you learnt at the end of your age!” Suddenly, death surprises him and takes him.
