天使使他在战斗中坚定不移，指示他行善，并许诺他将获得真主的回赏。他们对他说："坚持一个小时吧，然后你便可以安息，永远安息。"随后，真主以启示（即祂自己的话语）支持信士，于是派遣了使者ﷺ，并降下古兰经，以巩固真主赐予世人的其他恩典，如理智、知识和信仰。真主命令承载祂宝座的天使为信士求饶，保护他们免受一切恶事，并使他们进入乐园。祂还将保护他们：（真主之党必定成功）³，（我的军队必定获胜）⁴。真主已将祂的仆人作战所需的品质教导给他们，并说：（信道的人啊！你们要坚忍，要比敌人更坚忍，要守卫边疆，要敬畏真主，以便你们成功。）⁵ 圣战之事，非借这四件事的实行，不能成就。耐心非经忍受恶魔并抵制他的一切诱惑，不能达到。忍受了敌人之后，还需守护自己的心，以防恶魔的耳语诱惑自己，因此这就需要守护自己的眼、耳、舌、腹、手和脚。恶魔正是通过这些部位进入人心，败坏人心。当先知的同伴——在众先知和使者之后，他们是最优秀的人，也是最能抵御撒旦的人——在吾侯德战役中离开了他们奉命守卫的山丘，敌人便包围了他们，于是最严重的事情降临到他们身上（七十位同伴殉难）。将这些品质凝聚在一起的关键因素是敬畏真主（taqwa）。 设想两支军队相互对峙的场景:多神教徒之王(撒旦)及其士兵逼近,发现一颗信士的心坐镇于他的"国度"之中,被他的"士兵"环绕,守卫着它,并愿为之而战。他(撒旦)无法直接发动攻击,于是转而施用诡计与欺骗之道。他问众手下,谁是这颗心中最特殊的士兵。他们回答说:"是自我(нафс)。"于是他对手下说:"进入它的内部,探明它的欲望;许诺满足它的一切愿望,并以各种炽热的诱惑引诱它向你靠拢,直到它站到你这一边。只有这样,你们才能侵入其他各部分(眼、耳、舌、手、足等),并留驻其中,摧毁其内在的品质,如端庄与贞洁。"
"一旦进入他的眼睛,就要阻止他的视力成为辨别事物的工具,而使其成为分散注意力与诱惑的工具。当他的眼睛瞥见不合法的事物时,要让它在他看来充满激情且可以接受;因为我没有用任何东西比用他的目光更能败坏亚当的子孙了。的确,我在他的心中播下情欲的种子,然后以欲望浇灌它,并不断许诺,直到他的决心被削弱。一旦他的情欲受我控制,我便助他去除羞耻之心。你们要让他轻视自己的行为;告诉他,凝视会引导他赞颂安拉至洁(说'Subhanallah'!),并思考祂创造之美。告诉他,安拉从未创造眼睛是为了让人闭上它们,也从未让任何画像被遮挡于人们的视线之外。如果此人知识浅薄、心术不正,那就告诉他,每一幅画像都是真理的一个面向,是真主的一种映照,于是邀请他相信'造物主与受造物合一'(极端苏菲派的学说)。" "如果他不接受，就让他相信"神在其受造物中化身"的教义，以便他成为基督徒的兄弟。"然后控制他的耳门，阻止任何可能破坏你工作的东西进入其内，但要确保虚假能够进入；因为它如同光照在自我之上。挑选最甜美、最具魔力的言辞，将其融入自我的欲望之中，然后放入耳中。如果你察觉到积极的回应，就继续送入更多类似的言辞，但要小心，不要让安拉的话语或其先知的话语渗入。如果其中任何神圣的话语进入，你就需要阻碍其被理解，送入与其语境相关的其他迷惑性言辞。如此，虚假便在自我之中确立起来，而真理则被视为负担；群众也不会认为它重要。"
安拉 ~ 说："我如此为每位先知设置了人类和精灵中的敌人，他们以华丽的言辞相互启示，以作迷惑。"（6:112）安拉 ~ 将这种"华丽"称为虚假，因为恶魔会尽其所能地粉饰言辞，将其注入被迷惑的耳中。然后恶魔对他的士兵说："攻击他的舌头；它是最大的门户。让它说出自毁的言语，阻止任何有益的话语出口，比如记念安拉、求其宽恕或诵读其经典（《古兰经》）。你们现在有两项重大职责要完成：第一，确保舌头只说虚假之言，你们应当知道，说虚假之言的人是你们的兄弟，是你们中的伟大战士。第二，确保舌头在真理的事上保持沉默，你们应当知道，对真理保持沉默的人是你们哑巴的兄弟。你们难道没有听到人类中的那位优秀传道者说过：'说虚假的人是会说话的恶魔，而对真理保持沉默的人是哑巴恶魔'吗？" 你应当知道,正是舌头使亚当的子孙被深深地投入火狱。你们要互相帮助,并埋伏于全人类之前。你们难道没有听到我的誓言吗?当时我对(主)说:(因为你使我迷失,我必定在你的正道上埋伏他们。然后我必从他们面前、背后、右边和左边来到他们那里,你也必发现他们大多数不感恩。)1 你们难道没有看到,我在亚当子孙的一切道路上埋伏,每当我错过一条路,就另试一条,直到达成我的目的或至少部分目的吗?"
先知ﷺ警告人们提防魔鬼的诡计,说:"撒旦在亚当子孙的一切道路上埋伏。他在伊斯兰之路上埋伏他,说:'你是要皈依伊斯兰,抛弃你的宗教和你祖先的宗教吗?'亚当的子孙反抗他,皈依了伊斯兰。撒旦在迁徙(为主道而迁徙)之路上埋伏他,说:'你是要离开你的土地而迁徙吗?'但亚当的子孙反抗他,迁徙了。撒旦在圣战之路上埋伏他,说:'你是要去圣战而死,让你的财产被分割、你的妻子被改嫁吗?'"2 随后,魔鬼下令(给他的部下),攻击他的手脚,阻止他们做任何有害的事情——例如劝善戒恶的工作。
The angels allow him/her to stand firm in his/her fight, instructing him/her to do righteous deeds, and promising him/her the Reward of Allah ~ - They tell him/her: "Be patient for an hour, so then you may rest in peace, eternally." Then Allah ~ supported the believer with His Revelation (His Own Words); so He ~ dispatched the Messenger :I and sent down the Qur'an to consolidate other blessings bestowed upon men, such the intellect, knowledge and faith. Allah ~ ordered the Angels, who carry His Throne, to seek forgiveness for the believers, to protect them from all evil, and enter them into Paradise. He ~ will also protect them: (It is the Party of Allah that will be successful)3 and (It is Our Army which will be victorious)4 Allah ~ has taught His Servants the attributes they need in order to wage this war, and said: ( 0 you who believe! Endure and be more patient (than your enemy), and guard your territory, and fear Allah, so that you may successful.)5 The matter of Jihad cannot be fulfilled except by applying these four issues. Patience cannot be achieved except by enduring the devil and resisting all his temptations. Once one endures one's enemy, one needs to guard one's heart in case the devil's whisperings entice one, and so this requires guarding one's eyes, ears, tongue, stomach, hands and feet. It is through these parts that the devil may enter one's heart to corrupt it. When the Prophet's Companions, who are the best people, after the Prophets and Messengers, and the most protected against Satan, left the mount which they were ordered to guard at the Battle of Uhud, the enemy surrounded them, so the worst thing happened to them (the loss of seventy Companions~). The key factor which holds together these attributes is taqwa (fear of Allah). Picture the scene of the two armies facing each other: The king of the polytheists (Satan) and his soldiers approached and found the heart of a believer, sitting in his 'kingdom', surrounded by his 'soldiers', guarding and willing to fight for his sake. He (Satan) could not attack him directly, so he turned to his ways of trickery and deception. He asked who was the most special soldier for the heart. They replied: "It is the self." So he told his aides: "Enter upon it and find out its desires; promise to fulfil all its wishes, and lure it towards you with all types of passionate temptations, until it comes to your side. It is only then that you would be able to invade all the other parts (the eyes, ears, tongue, hands, and feet, etc), and remain there to destroy its inner attributes, such as decency and modesty." "Once in his eye openings, prevent his eyesight from being a tool of discernment, by making them a tool of distraction and allurement. When his eyes take an unlawful glance, make it appear passionate and acceptable to him; for I have not corrupted the Children of Adam with anything more than his sight. Indeed, I plant the seed of passion in his heart, then I water it with a wish, and keep on making promises until his determination is strengthened. Once in control of his passion, I help him remove his sense of decency. You have to make him belittle his acts; tell him that staring invites you to glorify Allah ~ (saying Subhanallah!) and reflect on the beauty of His Creation. Tell him that Allah ~ never created the eyes for them to be kept closed, and whatever picture was made to be screened from people's eyesight. If the person has little knowledge and a corrupt mind, then tell him that every picture is an aspect of the Truth, and a reflection of God, and so invite him to believe in 'the Unity of the Deity with His Creatures' (the doctrine of the extremist Sufis). If he does not accept it, make him believe in the doctrine of 'the Incarnation of the Deity in His creatures', for him to become a brother of the Christians." "Then control his ear openings and prevent anything, which might spoil your work, from entering inside, but make sure falsehood comes through; for it acts like light on the self. Select the sweetest and most magical words and mix them into the selfs desires, and then place them in the ear. If you sense a positive response, then send more similar words, but beware of any words of Allah or His Prophet that might infiltrate. If any of these divine words enter, you need to hinder their understanding, by sending other confusing words related to their context. In this manner, falsehood establishes itself within the self, while the truth is regarded as a burden; not to be considered by the masses as important." Allah ~ has said: (So We have appointed for every Prophet, enemies (devils) among mankind and jinn, inspiring one another with adorned speech as a delusion) 1 Allah ~ named this "adornment" which is falsehood; because the devil beautifies speech as much as he can, injecting it into a deceived ear. Then the devil says (to his soldiers): "Attack his tongue; it is the greatest opening. Let it operate with self-destructive words, preventing any beneficial words from being uttered, such as remembering Allah, seeking His Forgiveness or reciting His Book (the Qur'an). You have two great duties which you should achieve now: First, to ensure that the tongue speaks nothing but falsehood, and you should know that whoever speaks falsehood is your brother and a great soldier among you. Second, to ensure the tongue keeps silent in matters of the truth, and you should know that whoever keeps silent about the truth is your dumb brother. Have you not heard the good preacher among mankind say: 'The speaker of falsehood is a speaking devil, while the (one who keeps) silent about the truth is a dumb devil'? You should know that it is the tongue which has caused the Children of Adam to be cast deeply into the Hell-Fire. You have to help one another and lie in wait against the whole of mankind. Have you not heard my oath when I said (to the Lord): (Because You have sent me astray, surely, I will lie in wait against them on Your Straight Path. Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left, and You will not find most of them thankful.) 1 Have you not seen that I have lied in wait against the children of Adam on all his paths, and whenever I miss a path, I try another one until I achieve my desire or at least part of it?" The Prophet ~ warned against the stratagems of the devil, saying: "Satan has lied in wait against the son of Adam on all his paths. He lied in wait against him on the path of Islam, saying: 'Do you embrace Islam, leaving behind your religion and the religion of your fathers?' The son of Adam opposed them by embracing Islam. Satan lied in wait against him on the path of hijrah ( emigration for the Cause of Allah,) saying: 'Do you emigrate, leaving your land?' But, the son of Adam opposed him by emigrating. Satan lied in wait against him on the path of Jihad, saying: 'Do you make jihad and die, so that your wealth would be divided and your wife would be remarried?"'2 Then the devil gives his order (to his soldiers) to attack his hands and feet and prevent them from doing any damaging your work - such as enjoining good and forbidding evil.
