Ponder…
‘O Children of Adam! Let not Shaitân deceive you, as he got your parents out of Paradise’
al-A’raf:27
Servant of Allah! Ponder the removal of your father, Adam, from Paradise, the abode of security, and his descent to the abode of disgrace and abasement. The reason for this was none other than the accursed shaytaan. Your Master has prohibited you from obeying him and ordered you to disobey him. Indeed in this obedience lies the displeasure of ar-Rahmaan and disobeying him necessitates residing in Paradise and the descent of divine pleasure.
Allaah, Glorified and Exalted said:
‘Shaitân (Satan) threatens you with poverty and orders you to immorality‘
al-Baqarah: 268
So whoever obeys him, he forsakes him, diverts him from true guidance an opens the doors to misguidance and ignominy in his heart.
~Ibn Jawzee|| Bustan al-wa’izin p.27
