THE SILENT LANGUAGE OF EVIL

                 Satan uses these tactics in every matter a person must deal in
            daily life. As a result, someone he has urged into evil is drawn into
            ever-greater error and prevented from avoiding the evils he has be-
            come immersed in. In reality, however, satan has become a close
            friend of this deceived person and drawn him closer to his own reli-
            gious ideas and moral qualities. About this matter, the Qur'an says:
                 If someone shuts his eyes to the remembrance of the All-

                 Merciful, We assign him a satan who becomes his bosom
                 friend. They debar them from the path, yet they still think
                 they are guided. (Surat az-Zukhruf: 36-37)

                 He uses insidious methods and urges people to
                 be sly

                 To divert people from the right path and draw them into Hell
            with him, one of the most important tactics that satan resorts to is in-
            sidiousness—one of the most indispensable methods that he uses in
            his pitiless struggle against human beings. If he invited people to
            join him by revealing his true intentions, he wouldn't be successful.
            If he admitted how much he hates human beings and has been their
            enemy since the beginning of their history, how hard he has tried to
            deceive them and drag them with himself into the eternal pangs of
            Hell, then people would certainly beware of him and be saved from
            falling into his traps. For this reason, satan tries to mislead them by
            using lies, insincerity and deceitful tricks. He avoids acting in any
            way that would make them think that he is their enemy. He may
            even not openly suggest that they follow him, practice unseemly
            morality, do harm to themselves and others—and every time they
            have to choose between good and evil, that they act on the side of
            evil. In fact, these suggestions actually sum up satan's final goal. He
