                         The Evil's Greatest Fear: The Alliance Of The Good

              that believers see no limits in improving their alliance,
              cooperation, friendship, solidarity and affection for another,
              and never fall into a disagreement which will weaken them.
              This spirit of believers is best stated in the words of the
              Prophet Muhammad (pbuh):

                 You will observe that the believers are like the parts of the body in
                 relation to each other in matters of kindness, love and affection.
                 When one part of the body is afflicted, the entire body feels it; there
                 is loss of sleep and a fever develops. 10
                  The solidarity of the people, who purify themselves of
              every form of worldly ambition, jealousy and
              competitiveness, who channel every positive feeling, every
              effort, and every activity for the good of others, without
              making it a matter of personal pride, will break the resolve of
              the alliance of the evil.


                  Not Valuing The Words of the Evil

                  The ultimate aim of the evil is to stir up enmity among
              believers, to wreak their unity and weaken them. As the
              foregoing makes clear, they are known by their efforts in
              inventing lies and slandering the good, disgracing them and
              bringing doubt upon their credibility. However, the stance
              assumed by the good and conscientious will render such
              efforts of the slanderers and those committed to evil
              ineffective. That is because, the existence of people who do
              not take these slanders seriously, turn a deaf ear to them, and
              state they do not believe in them, will prevent any harm to
              the wronged and hinder the evil ones from attaining their
              mischievous goals.
                  Indeed, we know that the noble wife of Prophet
