A letter from Shaitan

[KEUNIT]

A Letter From Satan



I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores. You awoke without stopping to pray.

As a matter of fact, you didn't even bless your meals, or pray before going to bed last night. You are so unthankful, I like that about you. I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of living, Fool, you are mine.

Remember, you and I have been going steady for years, and I still don't love you yet. As a matter of fact, I hate you, because I hate God. I am only using you to get even with God. He kicked me out of heaven, and I'm going to use you as long as possible to pay him back. You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for you. But you have yielded your life to me and I'm going to make your life a living hell. That way we'll be together twice. This will really hurt God. Thanks to you.

I'm really showing Him who's boss in your life. With all of the good times we've had .. We have been watching dirty movies, cursing people, out partying, stealing, lying, being hypocritical, indulging in fornication, overeating, telling dirty jokes, gossiping, back stabbing people, disrespecting adults and those in leadership position, NO respect for the mosque, bad attitudes: SURELY you don't want to give all this up.

Come on, Fool, let's burn together forever. I've got some hot plans for us. This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you. I'd like to say "THANKS" for letting me use you for most of your foolish life. You are so gullible, I laugh at you. When you are tempted to sin, you give in HA HA HA, you make me sick. Sin is beginning to take its toll on your life. You look 20 years older, I need new blood. So go ahead and teach some children how to sin.

All you have to do is smoke, drink alcoholic beverages, cheat, gamble, gossip, fornicate, and listen to and dance to the top 10 jams. Do all of this in the presence of children and they will do it too. Kids are like that. Well, Fool, I have to let you go for now. I'll be back in a couple of seconds to tempt you again. If you were smart, you would run somewhere, confess your sins, ask forgiveness from Him, live for God with what little bit of life that you have left. It's not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still sinning, it's becoming a bit ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I still hate you...... IT'S JUST THAT YOU'D MAKE A BETTER FOOL FOR GOD.

* So REMEMBER :

Quran [14:22] : " And Satan will say when the matter is decided ( The Disbelievers entered the hell ) : "It was Allah Who gave you a promise of Truth: I too promised, but I failed in my promise to you. I had no authority over you except to call you but ye listened to me: then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to mine. I reject your former act in associating me with Allah. For wrong-doers there must be a grievous penalty."

Commentary: Wow I really liked this letter and now I even dislike Shaitan even more. It's such a good article I really think that every has to have a chance to read it and learn how Shaitan uses us in doing sins and bad deeds in this world.

/EDIT: Oh man, I put this in the Muslim Youth Section when it should be in the Inspirational Stories section. My bad. I don't think it matters though.

AssalaamuAlaikum
I wish my son could read this letter. Pls pray for his haddayah. Wassalaam

[Paint Me As I Am]

True, If we don't pray we set our selves up for temptaion and the price of that is Hell.. Praying always that Allah will always keep my in safe guard and to have a good living testamony before all others. and for sure that my children come to know my creator as i have.. plz. pray for them since i am the only one who is revert to Islam in my family and i want them all to have the same wonderful life in the after life.

its wrong to put fear in your children, it's a disgrace writing things like that and horrible to show it to young kids. Putting the fear and wrath in God presents God to be a tyrant and not God's true colours.

Be careful

[Muawiyah]

fearing God is one of the necessary parts of Eman

[flowerpower]

God should be loved and not feared.

Following Islam out of fear is not faith but fear.

Following Islam out of love is part of faith

[Kareem]

God should be loved and not feared.

Following Islam out of fear is not faith but fear.

Following Islam out of love is part of faith

fear of God is nessecary. one can fear and at the same time love God. both are nessecary.

[flowerpower]

no it is not necessary.

it's like fear is necessary for a child to behave to his father when it is LOVE and RESPECT that promotes goodness.

A good Muslim or Christian is one who LOVES God to be a good Muslim/Christian and not a 'good' Muslim/Christian out of fear of God

[Haamilul Qur'aan]

no it is not necessary.

Yes, it is.

Ghazali (rahmatullahi `alayhi) says: ‘Fear rips away desires and muddens luxuries so that cherished sins become reprehensible, just as a honey lover is repelled by it when he learns that it has poison in it. This is how fear burns desires; disciplines the organs; subordinates the heart and gives it tranquility. It also enables the heart to rid itself of pride, hatred, and envy; and it leaves it absorbed in it (fear). Hence, the heart becomes preoccupied with its own worries and looks towards its best interest in the long run. It is then engaged in only matters like meditation, self-analysis and struggle. It cherishes its time and moments.’

[Ihya: 4/160]

[flowerpower]

Yes, it is.

no it isnt.

are you unable to disagree with a statement whilst also making reference to it.

i shall make it simple for you now:

do you believe that somebody who has LOVE for God and no fear for God would be a better Muslim then one who exclusively fears God but does not love?

i thought not, therefore fear is not acceptable and is only useful for those who are weak willed amongst us,

and back to the original point, making children fearful of religion is digusting and only makes their faith distorted the majority of the time.
