cate satan's message in the attitudes they often display. Even while
they are aware of their own mistaken attitudes and behavior, usu-
ally these people claim that they are faithful and morally upright
and that they strenuously avoid satan and evil.
Satan makes these people believe that their good behavior and
their avoidance of overt evil are enough. He makes them pay no at-
tention to the evil they do in private and causes them to feel they
don't need to avoid it. He tries to distance them from religious
morality.
As a result of satan's stratagems, various characteristics come to
light that are far removed from the ideal Muslim character. But there
is only one Muslim character revealed by Allah in the Qur'an: This is
the way that will please Allah, lead a person to the Garden and save
him from Hell. Practicing just a portion of religious morality and as-
suming a character different from the Muslim ideal will draw a per-
son unwittingly to Hell. Of course, if these people adopt the Qur'an
as their guide and think according to what Allah has revealed, they
may realize the situation they are in and be easily rescued from it.
The Prophet (saas) warned believers in a hadith not to assist satan in
any way:
"Do not help satan against your [Muslim] brother." (Sahih Bukhari)
In the following pages, we'll examine the various personalities
that satan shapes with the silent—and secret—language of evil; we
will see what kind of depraved behavior results from his influence
over these people. For these people, this silent language has become
a kind of way of life. We will show what kind of messages it sends
and what these messages mean.
