        his spiritual state.
             If he does not choose to be sincere and give up pandering to his
        lower self, he won't attain the kind of moral life that pleases Allah.
        For the sake of his lower self, the rebelliousness he displays will lead
        him into physical and spiritual ruin. There are various signs of this
        ruin. First, his crying tactics will take over his personality; he will be-
        come unbalanced and weep over everything. He will always be pes-
        simistic, negative and discontent; fearful and sad as he waits for
        every day to bring him new sorrows. As long as he resists changing
        his life according to the morality revealed in the Qur'an, the dimen-
        sions of his ruin may increase still further.
             However, it is very easy to escape from this situation. Allah re-
        veals in the Qur'an that, if anyone takes the advice given, He will
        lead him on the true path toward what is good for him:

             have been better for them and far more strengthening. In
             that case We would have given them an immense reward
             from Us and We would have guided them on a straight
             path. (Surat an-Nisa': 66-68)


             THOSE WHO CLAIM THEY ARE BEING
             TREATED UNJUSTLY
             Satan's silent and insidious language can manifest itself some-
        times as innocent, sometimes as extremely negative, insensitive,
        cold, distant, despairing, untrusting, peevish and arrogant. But one
        of the most distinctive ways in which the satanic character emerges
        is in claims of being unjustly treated. Satan was the first to make this
        claim. The Qur'an tells us that he disobeyed Allah's command with
        the idea that he was being unjustly treated. Satan's situation is de-
