THE SILENT LANGUAGE OF EVIL

havior, facial expressions and the excuses they put forward are
enough to allow a person with faith to understand their real moral
character.

They claim that the solutions offered to them are
wrong, or cannot apply to them
Satan wants people to turn their backs on the true path and per-
sist in their errors. When he sees someone setting out on the true
path or taking advice that may benefit them, he immediately takes
measures. In this situation, a person's conscience would come into
play and urge him to conform to the high morality that it enjoins.
In such a situation, those who want to protect their lower selves
instead of following their conscience immediately go down the path
that satan has shown them. When anyone urges them to follow the
morality of the Qur'an, they resort to insidious methods to obey the
contrary inspiration of their lower selves and find excuses to per-
suade themselves. One of the major excuses they use is that "The
error might have been wrong, but so was the solution offered." It is
clear that these people do not behave according to the Qur'an. They
realize that admitting and rejecting their errors will clearly reveal
their insincerity. For this reason, they embrace a more insidious
method, and offer an excuse. Even though they receive good advice

from the Qur'an clearly leading them to the right path, they do not
accept it because of their insincerity.
They claim that the solution offered to them was not apt, that
their errors were due to other causes and required different solu-
tions. Later, they offer alternative "solutions" that suit their lower
selves. Instead of conforming to the morality of the Qur'an, they re-
sort to satan's methods and fall into chaos. Even the most easily-
solvable problems paralyze their wills.
