HOW THE DEVIL SYAITAN DECEIVE MEN AND HOW MEN CAN PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE DEVIL SYAITAN

Although Sheikh Abdul Wahab of Raiwind and Maulana Zubir are also the syurah members of Jemaah Tabligh but I think Maulana Saad the grandson of Maulana Yusof is trying to take the leadership role in the Jemaah Syurah of Jemaah Tabligh in this world. After the death of Maulana Inamul Hassan, nearly all the elders of Jemaah Tabligh who are residing in Nizammuddin, India wanted the system of Hadratji to continue. However Sheikh Abdul Wahab and Mufti Zainal Abidin of Raiwind wanted the system of Hadratji to be replaced by the system of syurah. Maulana Inamul Hassan who was the previous Hadratji of Jemaah Tabligh prior to his death had decided to choose ten persons from among their elders to become the syurah of Jemaah Tabligh. Now seven of them had passed away and  only three remain whom I had mentioned earlier. Because Sheikh Abdul Wahab wanted the system of syurah to replace the previous system of Hadratji, people from Mewat or Mewatis and many of the elders of Jemaah Tabligh in India do not like him.

Some of the elders of Jemaah Tabligh in India accused Sheikh Abdul Wahab as the person who is responsible for the system of Hadratji in Jemaah Tabligh to come to an end. Around the year 2006 when I was still in Jemaah Tabligh, there were attempts made by their elders in India headed by Maulana Saad in collaboration with some of their elders in Pakistan to undermine the position of Sheikh Abdul Wahab as the amir of Jemaah Tabligh in Pakistan. Someone also told me that due to the mischievous actions of some Muslims in India, Sheikh Abdul Wahab is now prevented by the government of India from entering India. There is a struggle to gain power and leadership even among the elders of Jemaah Tabligh. As far as I know this is known as politics. In the eyes of their followers, their elders are like the angels who do not have any desires other than the desire to have Allah. In the eyes of their followers, the elders of Jemaah Tabligh are believers, ulama, alim and pious. In reality in my opinion their elders are similar to other normal Muslims who are not believers and who have many desires and since their elders are not believers they are easily deceived by the devil syaitan. Only Muslims who have reach to become believers and who have no other desire except the desire to have Allah will not be easily deceived by Iblis and syaitan.

The Mewatis who are the pioneer followers of Jemaah Tabligh does not like the system of syurah in Jemaah Tabligh. The Mewatis want the system of Hadratji to be reenacted and all the Mewatis in Jemaah Tabligh wanted Maulana Saad to become the Hadratji. In case in his heart, Maulana Saad has the desire to become Hadratji, then Iblis will use the desire of Maulana Saad as a tool to deviate Maulana Saad from the true path. Iblis is working very hard to deviate the elders of Jemaah Tabligh, particularly Maulana Saad and the followers of Jemaah Tabligh from the correct path. As per now, in my opinion Iblis has been successful in deviating Jemaah Tabligh from the correct path. Iblis and syaitan will continue to whisper to the elders of Jemaah Tabligh that the decision they have taken, not to invite the non-Muslims to become Muslims is a correct decision and that syaitan and Iblis will work hard to prevent them from making taubah and istigfar.

Why men have the desire to become leaders? Because men think and believe, when they become leaders they will be able to lead the lifestyles which are wealthy and glamorous. Muslims who are believers do not have the desire to become a leader. Allah forbids us from having the desire to become a leader. Prophet Muhammad saw told us not to choose someone to become a leader who has the desire to become a leader. All the politicians in this world have the desire to become leaders. All the politicians in this world are ready even to disobey all the orders of Allah in order to become leaders. Whoever has the desire to become leaders are easily deceived by the devil syaitan. Allah forbids the believers from having the desire to become leaders. Allah wants the believers to have the desire only to wins the love of Allah.

In the system of democracy, in order for a person to become a leader, that person needs to have many followers or supporters. In order to have many followers or supporters many politicians and men think and believe that they need to have more money and wealth. It is commonly understood that men will only follow those who have more money and wealth. In order to have more money and wealth some men will try to have power and those with power will try to have more money. Many think and believe; with power they will have more money and wealth and with wealth and more money they will have more power. Desire to have power and wealth is one of the greatest tools that are used by Iblis, to deviate many of the children of Adam from the correct path. Iblis will make the children of Adam to believe, with power and wealth they will be able to attain the everlasting happiness in this world. We often observe many politicians after obtaining power, are working very hard to obtain more money and wealth and we also observe those who have more money and wealth are working very hard to obtain more power. In my opinion all the politicians in this world have sold their soul and mind to the effort of obtaining power and wealth. This is the reason why I have said earlier in my other articles that there is no politic in Islam.

However all the politicians who join Islamic political parties like Pas are adamantly saying that there is politic in Islam? Dato Nik Aziz is stubbornly saying to the Muslims in the whole world that there is politic in Islam. Dato Nik Aziz also told that the whole Quran is politic. In my opinion, the whole Quran is not politic since the whole Quran is the words of Allah calling the whole mankind to believe in Allah and to obey the orders of Allah. Politic is not about calling peoples to Allah and about calling peoples to obey the orders of Allah but it is about the science of manipulating people’s sentiment in order to obtain power and position. Politic is about getting the support of the majority of the peoples and when a person or a party has the support of the majority of the peoples then that person or party will have the power. Administrating a country is not politic and it is not the work of a politician to administer a country. Many Pas members think that the work of administrating a country is also known as politic and administration is the work of politicians. Administration of a country is done by the administrators and they are not politicians. Political parties which rule democratic countries will continually change but the administrators of the country will remain the same regardless of which political party rule the country. Politic is not about administrating a country but it is about the science of obtaining power and leadership in a political system known as democracy. Because of that I am in the opinion that any Muslims politicians, whether they are in Pas, Umno, and PKR or in any political parties in this world will never ever become believers. In my opinion all the politicians in this world are deceived by the devil syaitan. The desire of all politicians is the desires to have power and position and not the desire to win the love of Allah.

One other desire that men have is the desire to enjoy and to become happy. Almost all men in this world believe, only with more money, they will be able to enjoy themselves and to become happy. Men believe with more money they are able to obtain almost anything that they want. When they are able to obtain anything that they want in this world they will be able to enjoy and become happy in this world. Iblis told men that money and wealth will only comes with hard work. Almost all men in this world work very hard in order to obtain more money and wealth because they believe only with hard work a person can obtain more money and wealth. Although Allah orders us to work hard but we have to work hard not because we want to have more money but because it is the order of Allah to work hard and our intention to work hard is only to please Allah. It is wrong to believe that with hard work a person can obtain more money and wealth. It is not the hard works that give us more money and wealth but it is Allah who give us more money and wealth. This wrong believes is being instilled into our heart by the devil syaitan. Syaitan is able to instill this wrong believe into our hearts when the Great Kalimah is not in our hearts.

Because of this wrong belief, almost all men in this world are tempted to work very hard in order to obtain more money and more wealth. Many men are ready to spend almost all their time in working to earn more money and wealth even if they have to disobey the orders of Allah. Since most of the time is spend by men in earning money and wealth, many men do not have time for their own selves and their family enjoyment. Because of this, many Muslims do not have time to do the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah and to perform the five times daily prayers. What are the priorities to many peoples nowadays? Naturally, after spending maximum time in earning money and wealth many men will give the balance of their time for their own selves or for their family enjoyment. Many Muslims do not want to do the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah and to pray the five times daily prayers because they do not have time for all these amals. All the times which are available to many Muslims are already used to earn money and wealth and the balance of whatever time they had will be used for their own family. Whatever money they earn from their work is mainly used for their own needs and the balance of the money which they had will be used for the enjoyment of their own families. At the end of the day, many Muslims have no more time for the work which fulfill the right of the Great Kalimah or for the performance of five times daily prayers. Therefore many Muslims choose not to do the work which fulfills the right of the Great Kalimah and not to perform the five times daily prayers. The time which men have with them is mainly used for the work to earn more money and wealth. All men want to have more money and wealth because all men believe with more money and wealth they will be able to live in this world with enjoyment and happiness.

One other desire that men have is the desire to become well known and glamorous. Whoever does not have the Great Kalimah in their heart the syaitan will deceive them into the belief that when I become famous and glamorous I will become happy and wealthy. It is wrong to believe, when a person is famous and glamorous, he or she will become happy and wealthy. The truth is; there is no one who can make a person happy and wealthy except Allah. Allah will only make us happy and wealthy when we obey the orders of Allah. Many of those who have these wrong believe in their hearts often wanted to become actors, singers, writers and orators. Many have entered into this profession because they wanted to become famous and glamorous. In order to become famous and glamorous they believe that they must make the peoples to love their performance. Whenever they make any performance naturally they will make the performances with the intention to please men and not to please Allah. When we are making performance in order to please men and not Allah we are making syirik to Allah. The belief that glamour will makes us to become happy and wealthy has lead us into performing our work of arts with the intention to please men and not to please Allah.

Iblis and syaitan will deceive men into the belief; rich and glamour comes from the peoples and not from Allah. Iblis will deceive men into the belief; if there are many peoples who love your performance, you will become famous and when you become famous, you will become wealthy. In this way, Iblis deceive all the artists, orators, imam of solat, singers, qari and qariah, actors and writers to perform their works with the intention to please men and not to please Allah. When our intention of doing any actions is wrong, all our actions will becomes null and void. When our intention is wrong not only all our actions become null and void but we are committing the sins of syirik to Allah. Syaitan and Iblis love to see all the amals of the Muslims to be rejected and not accepted by Allah.
