        favor, they warn one another to beware of evil:
             The men and women of the believers are friends of one an-
             other. They command what is right and forbid what is
             wrong... (Surat at-Tawba: 71)

             Actually, those under satan's influence know that believers are
        sincere in their warnings and that they are trying to win Allah's
        favor with their actions. But as the Qur'an says, they pretend not to
        see this sincerity: "And they repudiated them wrongly and haugh-
        tily, in spite of their own certainty about them…" (Surat an-Naml:
        14) Instead of heeding the warnings and amending their behavior,
        they shroud their consciences and respond with another satanic
        method. According to satan's way of thinking, they claim they actu-
        ally love others very much. But because they do not have a moral
        character that makes them lovable, they hold themselves back as a
        kind of a favor to others.
             This is indeed totally insincere, senseless and contrary to the
        Qur'an. If a person sincerely fears Allah and considers that he may
        not be loved because of his bad moral character, he will immediately
        amend that character in order to become more lovable. Surely he
        knows that believers would never insincerely pretend to love a per-
        son with unlovable qualities, would always act according to the
        morality of the Qur'an and would never respond to such methods.
        Despite this, such individuals get caught up in these thoughts and
        act according to them, because they have made themselves the rep-
        resentatives of satan.


             They claim that their lack of love and coldness
             come from their strength of personality
             One thought that satan inspires to get people to adopt a moral-
        ity contrary to the Qur'an is the idea that a strong personality comes
