Read Part 4 (b): Ibli’s Ploy (3 types of Ibli’s ploy)

Upon failing to mislead the believer with any of his six ploys, Iblis now utilises other persons, entrapping them in the sin of back-biting or slandering against this believer. As such he attacks the person’s character in order to weaken his standing with the people and to disturb his heart, aiming thereby to confuse him and deter others from benefitting from him.

As a matter of fact this is how the mushrikun of Quraysh and Makkah attacked Muhammad (SAW); they called him ‘a liar’, ‘a madman’, ‘a soothsayer’, ‘ a magician’, ‘a poet’, and ‘one possessed by jinn’, etc.

Important Point

The believer is forever with war with Satan, from the point of his birth until he dies, as such it is upon him to struggle upon the right path of Islam and to seek a death firm in Iman.

Trials and Calamities is a way of our sins being expiated.
