Save Yourself from Satanic Deception

presenting evil deeds as if they were good deeds. From this lure of beautification, only those can be saved who are God’s chosen servants. What form will their salvation take? One answer to this is found in this prophetic saying: “God said, I will keep forgiving My servants as long as they keep seeking My forgiveness.” (Musnad Ahmad 11237) This shows that satanic beautification is countered by forgiveness. Whenever Satan beautifies any wrong act, God’s servant should expose his satanic deception. By using the wisdom granted by God, he should see through the beautification of Satan and, seeking forgiveness from God, he should not embroil himself in the net of satanic temptation. Satanic beautification takes place at the level of thoughts. The only way for a person to counter this is to take the help of divine revelation, divine knowledge and deep reflection to make himself so aware that when Satan beautifies any wrongdoing he should immediately be able to analyze it and discern what is wrong about it. In this way, he can save himself from falling into the trap of Satan’s deception.
