they immediately take refuge in Allah. Allah states that
             Satan is extremely weak against believers:
                 As for those who guard against evil, when they are
                 bothered by visitors from satan, they remember and

                 immediately see clearly. (Surat al-A'raf: 201)
                 Satan himself, admits that he would not have a misguid-
             ing power over believers who are sincerely devoted to Allah.
             This fact is stated in the Qur'an as follows:
                 He said, "My Lord, because You misled me, I will
                 make things on the earth seem good to them and I
                 will mislead them all, every one of them, except
                 Your servants among them who are sincere." (Surat
                 al-Hijr: 39-40)


                53. Is everything I think about known to Allah?

                 Allah knows about everything, including what one is
             thinking about because one of the attributes of Allah is "Al
             Habir" (All-Aware), which means that Allah knows the in-
             side truth and concealed aspects of everything. One can hide
             one's thoughts from the people who surround one but not
             from Allah. As stated in the verse, "Allah—Him from
             Whom nothing is hidden, either on earth or in heaven."
             (Surah Al 'Imran: 5) In another verse it is stated as follows:
                 He is Allah in the heavens and in the earth. He
                 knows what you keep secret and what you make
                 public and He knows what you earn. (Surat al-
                 An'am: 3)
                 Man is dependent on time and space, whereas Allah is
             exalted above all these deficiencies. It is Allah Who creates
             time, space, all mankind and all the events that people see
