Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.
In his opening address he said,
“We can’t keep Muslims from going to mosque.”
“We can’t keep them from reading their Quran & knowing the truth.”
“We can’t even keep them from an intimate relationship with their Allah & his messenger Muhammad (pbuh).”
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 Allah & his messenger Muhammad (pbuh).”
“This is what I want you to do,” said the devil:
“Distract them from gaining hold of their Allah and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!”
“How shall we do this?” his demons shouted.
“Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life & invent innumerable schemes
To occupy their minds,” he answered.
“Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, & borrow, borrow, borrow.”
“Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours & 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 pressure 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 & their PCs going constantly in their home and see to it that every store & restaurant in the world plays music constantly.”
“This will jam their minds & break that union with Allah & his Messenger (pbuh).”
“Fill the coffee tables with magazines & 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 catalogues, sweepstakes, &every kind of newsletter & promotional offering free products, services & false hopes.”
“Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines & TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what’s important, & 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!”
“Give them story books to distract them from teaching children the real meaning of Salat.”
“Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on Allah’s creation. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts & movies instead. “Keep them busy, busy, busy!”
“And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip & 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 & 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 busier & more rushed, going here & there.
Having little time for their Allah or their families.
Having no time to tell others about the power of Allah & his messenger Muhammad to change lives.
I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes?
YOU BE THE JUDGE!!!!
Does BUSY MEAN:
B-EING
U-NDER
S-ATAN’s
Y- OKE?
All praises and thanks be to Allah, Lord of everything that exists.The most Gracious, the Most Merciful.Master of the Day of Judgment You (alone) we worship, and You (alone) we ask for help.Guide us to the Straight Way The Way of of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor those who went astray. Ameen
