Shaytan is watching…and waiting…

Prophet Muhammad Salah Allahu Alayhi wasalam is narrated to have said:

“Shaytaan sits in the path (of every good action) that the son of Aadam (may try to take). He sat in front of him when he took the path to Islam and told him, ‘how could you leave the religion of your fathers and your fore-fathers?’ But he disobeyed him and became Muslim. Then Shaytaan sat in front of him in his path to Hijrah and said, ‘How could you leave your land and your sky?’ But he disobeyed him and migrated (from Makkah). Then he sat in front of him in his path of Jihaad and said, ‘Why should you do Jihad? It will only exhaust your wealth and body. You’ll be killed, your wife will marry someone else, and your wealth will be divided (to others).’ But he disobeyed him and went for Jihad.” Rasul Allah then said, “Whoever does this, it is a duty upon Allah that He shall enter him into Jannah!”

“Engage yourself not in speech either with the learned or the fool. For the former is likely to defeat you, and the latter is likely to abuse you.”

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) is narrated to have said:

“The degree to which a person is helped and aided by Allah depends on the degree of his intention, drive, aim, and hopes.

Help from Allah comes to people in proportion to their drive, intention, hopes, and fears; and failure comes to them in like manner.”
