ROMANTICISM: A WEAPON OF SATAN

Satan can easily lead people astray by
filling them with apprehension. He makes
them feel a lack of hope and desperation.

believer, the emotional person finds contradiction and confusion. He
struggles apprehensively. The emotional person cannot understand
the Qu'ran, which is a guide for those of wisdom; he cannot receive
advice from it. He cannot measure God according to His true measure
and understand the hidden wisdom behind that which takes place in
the universe; he cannot conceive of the reasons for the existence of the
world, heaven and hell. He does not know what it means to say that
there is no other deity besides God. Every idea in the mind of such a
person, his every thought, intention and aim, his every act leads him
from one act of idolatry to another.
This is one of the methods Satan uses to divert humanity from the
way of God. In the Qu'ran, God warns that Satan will use any means
at his disposal to lead people to hell:
Satan whom God has cursed said, "I will take a certain fixed
proportion of Your slaves. I will lead them astray and fill them
with false hopes. I will command them and they will cut off cattle's
ears. I will command them and they will change God's creation."
