Page 40 - The Light of the Qur'an has Destroyed Satanism
P. 40
This recent proliferation of satanism and the frequent reports
in the press of satanist murders and suicides makes the public ask
this question. Articles dealing with why people become satanists
always posit economic distress or lack of communication within
their family, as if to excuse or even legitimize the choice of satan-
ism and other such perversions. But none of these explanations is
truly valid.
As pointed out earlier, one of the chief reasons why people
turn to satanism is their espousal of materialism, atheism and the
Darwinist view. There are those who harbor hostility to the Di-
vine religions that lead others to what is good and wholesome;
and such people variously express their hostility by openly dis-
playing their satanistic resentments.
Satan has taken them under his influence with his sugges-
tions that satanism is a mystical and exciting adventure. In the
Qur’an, Allah tells us;
. . . Satan has made their actions seem good to them and de-
barred them from the Way so they are not guided. (Surat an-
Naml, 24)
By suggesting that satanism is a practical and attractive alter-
native, satan draws people into a dark world that will ultimately
lead them to Hell:
Do you not see those who claim that they believe in what has
been sent down to you and what was sent down before you,
still desiring to turn to a satanic source for judgment in spite
of being ordered to reject it? Satan wants to misguide them
far away. (Surat an-Nisa’, 60)
