THE SILENT LANGUAGE OF EVIL

                 it, so abandon them and all they fabricate. (Surat al-An'am:
                 112)
                 Satan works in concert with human beings and the spirits that
            follow him, using them as vehicles to misguide other people. These
            individuals comply with satan's morality, making insincerity their
            guiding principle. They instill doubt and apprehension in the hearts
            of others in an attempt to divert them from the true path. In the

            Qur'an, Allah tells us of the insincere methods of thesedemons from
            both humanity and from the jinn. Refuge from their evil should be
            sought in the Lord.
                 Say: "I seek refuge with the Lord of humanity, the King of
                 humanity, the God of humanity, from the evil of the insidi-
                 ous whisperer who whispers in people's breasts and comes
                 from the jinn and from humanity." (Surat an-Nas: 1-6)
                 Another verse says that satan makes servants of these human
            beings and spirits who follow him. "… He said, I will take a certain
            fixed proportion of Your servants..." (Surat an-Nisa': 118)
            Individuals who become satan's servants do his will by constantly
            trying to distance people from the true path; they make it their duty
            to urge them toward evil. This activity of satan's minions is de-
            scribed in the Qur'an:

                 But as for their brothers, the visitors lead them further into
                 error. And they do not stop at that! (Surat al-A'raf: 202)
                 The most obvious of these individuals who serve satan are
            called hypocrites in the Qur'an; they have sickness in their hearts
            rather than faith. All the moral depravity to be observed in a hyp-
            ocrite's behavior will be examined in detail in the pages that follow:
            This depravity is the result of the dominance that satan holds over
            such people. These individuals use satan's insidious and secret
