What Do People Usually Think About? 25

tors from Satan, they remember and immediately see clearly.
But as for their brothers, the visitors lead them further into
error. And they do not stop at that! (Surat al-A'raf: 201-202)

As stated in the verses, someone who reflects, sees what is right while
someone who does not, goes wherever satan drags him.
The important thing is to know that these thoughts will be of no use
to the person and will, on the contrary, hamper him from thinking the
truth, reflecting on important matters, and therefore purifying the mind
from these useless thoughts. Man can think properly only if he frees his
mind from futile thoughts. In this way, he "keeps aloof from what is vain"
as Allah commands in the Qur'an.
