Surely, my beloved, when the person, the student, is the beloved of Allah,
if he is the beloved of Allah, Allah does not give him to the devil. He
does not leave him to the devil, but He is always with him, and helping
him. The shaitan tries
to conquer him and speaks to the nafs. If the person is not careful
and he listens to the voice of the devil through the nafs, if he follows
God, this means that it is important for him to return back to God, and to remember,
and to look to see if this is from the Order of Allah or not.
For example: A voice comes to your mind saying, “Do not pray. Why do you
pray so much? Why do you help? Why do you send peace to that person? This is
not right because that person does not need your mercy.” You must look
to Allah to see where this voice is from. Does the Word of Allah forbid you to
help or to pray? No, this is from the shaitan. It is important to stop
and to cut this voice, to remember the Name and to not listen to this voice.
Then you help yourself and you conquer the shaitan. This is a very deep
and very subtle thing. For this reason it is very important for every beloved
to be very careful about what he does, and it is important to know that Allah
does not leave you. He is always with you; He helps you. Try to say the Name
of Allah when you see that something happens to your heart and you are weak,
then you will see that He helps you. The shaitan is very weak and the
believer is very strong; he conquers the devil so that the devil can not make
anything with him.
