blame God. Thus, what Satan said was based on totally false grounds. This Quranic reference tells us that the 'blame others' culture is a Satanic culture. Anyone who follows this culture is a brother of Satan. One who commits a wrongdoing and then blames others is choosing a path which is not acceptable to God. The 'blame thyself' culture is the culture of angels, while the 'blame others' culture is the culture of Satan. There are only two proper options for a person: either he commits no wrongdoing, or when he commits a wrongdoing, he should repent and ask for forgiveness from God. But one who commits a wrongdoing and then blames others is choosing a third option, which is not acceptable to God. o Do not be slave to your desires It is a fact that the human mind is full of desires. But, at the same time, it is also true that man's mind has the capacity for logical thought. When you find that your mind is overwhelmed by desire, examine that desire in the light of reality. Assess it in terms of its potential results, and find out objectively whether it is feasible or not to fulfil it. Then, after examining it completely, if you are satisfied that its results will be beneficial, fulfil your desire.
