Know Your Enemy

Know that when the son of Adam was created, lust and desire were put into him, so that he could realise what was beneficial to him. He was also given a sense of anger, so that he could reject what would harm him. He was also given an educator-like intellect that instructed him to be just in what he should do and what he should leave behind. Allah also created Iblis who tells him to exaggerate what he should do and what he should leave behind. What a reasonable person should do is to beware of this enemy, who has been determined to be hostile since the time of Adam, who has vowed to spend his life corrupting the state of Adam's descendants. Allah has commanded us to beware of Shaytan and the Iblis. Allah, the Almighty, has tested the children of Adam with an enemy that has never escaped human sight. He is never inattentive or asleep, and he and his warriors can see where we cannot. He sacrifices all he can to combat us in every circumstance, never letting go of a single land where he can still let his deceit creep in but he will surely release his poison there.
