Fwd’ing
Satan called a worldwide convention of demons. In his
opening address he
said, “We can’t keep Muslims from going to the mosque.
We can’t keep them
from reading their Qur’ans and knowing the truth. We
can’t even keep them
from forming an intimate relationship with Allah. Once
they gain that
connection with Allah, our power over them is broken.”
“So let them go to their mosques; let them have their
covered dish
dinners, but steal their time, so they don’t have time
to develop a
relationship with the Creator.”
“This is what I want you to do”, said the devil:
“Distract them from gaining hold of their God and
maintaining that vital
connection throughout their day!”
“How shall we do this?” his demons shouted."
“Keep them busy in the nonessentials of life and
invent innumerable schemes
to occupy their minds,” he answered.
“Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow,
borrow, borrow.
Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and
the husbands to work 6-7
days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford
their empty lifestyles.”
“Keep them from spending time with their children. As
their families
fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from
the pressures of
work!”
“Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear
that still, small
voice. Entice them to play the radio or cassette
player whenever they drive,
to keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going
constantly in their
home, and see to it that every store and restaurant in
the world plays
non-Islamic music constantly. This will jam their
minds and break that
union with Allah.”
“Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers.
Pound their minds
with the news 24 hours a day. Invade their driving
moments with billboards.
Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order
catalogs, sweepstakes, and
every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free
products, services and
false hopes.”
“Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV
so their husbands will
believe that outward beauty is what’s important, and
they’ll become
dissatisfied with their wives.”
“Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at
night. Give them
headaches too! If they don’t give their husbands the
love they need, they
will begin to look elsewhere. That will fragment their
families quickly!”
"Play up the Christian holidays to distract them from
teaching their children the real
meaning of Islam and their Eid celebrations.
“Even in their recreation, let them be excessive. Have
them return from
their recreation exhausted. Keep them too busy to go
out in nature and
reflect on Allah’s creation. Send them to amusement
parks, sporting events,
plays, concerts, and movies instead.”
“Keep them busy, busy, busy!”
“And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve
them in gossip and
small talk so that they leave with troubled
consciences.”
“Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have
no time to seek power
from Allah. Soon they will be working in their own
strength, sacrificing
their health and family for the good of the cause.”
“It will work! It will work!”
It was quite a plan! The demons went eagerly to their
assignments causing
Muslims everywhere to get more busy and more rushed,
going here and there.
Having little time for their God or their families.
Having no time to tell
others about the power of Allah to change lives.
I guess the question is, “Has the devil been
successful at his scheme?”
You be the judge! Does “busy” mean:
B-eing
U-nder
S-atan’s
Y-oke?
“I put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord! There is not a moving creature, but He has a grasp of its forelock. Verily, my Lord is on the straight path. (The truth)”
