THE SILENT LANGUAGE OF EVIL

He offers excuses to render the conscience
ineffective
Satan's religion is based upon getting people to accept his char-
acter and his system of ideas. In order to persuade, he has devel-
oped many deceitful methods based on false superstition. But his
main philosophy is directed toward disabling the human conscience
because, first of all, it tries to ruin his traps and constantly puts sug-
gestions into people's minds, calling them to what is good and true.
Allah tells us in the Qur'an that actually, no matter what traps satan
sets, every human being is able to perceive the truth, thanks to the

guidance of his conscience. "In fact, man will be clear proof against
himself. In spite of any excuses he might offer." (Surat al-Qiyama:
14-15) But satan tries to get people to ignore this perception; he has
many excuses to get them to shroud their consciences and live ac-
cording to his morality.
Believers think according to the Qur'an. Therefore, no matter
how expert satan's suggestions are in this direction, they immedi-
ately perceive them and act according to their consciences. But those
who live far removed from the moral teachings of the Qur'an, whose
lives are based on pampering their lower selves, immediately accept
the excuses that satan offers to incite them. Since they are already
seeing a way to silence their conscience's voice, they are open to
satan's suggestions and accept his help and support.
This satanic system condones every kind of unacceptable be-
havior, excuses every evil act and justifies every depravity. In this
way, satan opposes a person to his own conscience, trying to show
him that such perverted ways of thinking are valid and justifiable.
