And the devil cannot overpower him except with what he possesses of his weaponry.
The devil enters him and finds his weaponry with him, takes it and fights him with it.
For his weapons are desires, doubts, imaginations, and false hopes.
And they are in the heart, so the devil enters and finds them there and attacks the heart with them.
If the servant has a ready supply of faith to counter those weapons and surpass them, he prevails over the devil.
Otherwise, the upper hand belongs to his enemy over him, and there is no power or strength except with Allah, the Most High, the Great.
If the servant permits his enemy, opens the door of his house for him, lets him in, and enables him with weaponry to fight him, then he is to blame.
Blame yourself, not the mounts...
Die of grief, for you have no excuse.
