THE SILENT LANGUAGE OF EVIL

Allah before." The wrongdoers will have a painful punish-
ment. (Surah Ibrahim: 22)
Therefore, anyone who adopts satanic morality in this world
will not be able to blame satan in the world to come for the wicked-
ness they have committed. They may protest that they did wicked
things because they followed satan and that they are innocent, but
such excuses will not be accepted. In the Qur'an, Allah tells people

about satan's morality, that he tells them only lies and does every-
thing to drag them into the pangs of Hell. He says that satan will
abandon his followers in the next world and leave them all alone:
They are like satan when he says to a human being,
"Disbelieve," and then when he disbelieves, says, "I wash
my hands of you. Truly I fear Allah, the Lord of all the
worlds." (Surat al-Hashr: 16)
Individuals who know this truth revealed in the Qur'an will
flee from satan the moment they realize their error and take refuge
in Allah. They must not knowingly persist in their unseemly moral-
ity. Allah tells believers about this:

Those who, when they act indecently or wrong themselves,
remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their bad actions
and do not knowingly persist in what they were doing.
(Surah Al 'Imran: 135)
In the Qur'an, Allah admonishes those who are determined to fol-
low wickedness although their conscience shows them what is right:
Or do those who do bad actions imagine they can outstrip
Us? How bad their judgment is! (Surat al-'Ankabut: 4)

No indeed! Those who accumulate bad actions and are sur-
rounded by their mistakes, such people are the
Companions of the Fire, remaining in it timelessly, for ever.
