The motive of religion, together with the motive of desire, has three states.
One of them is that coercion and dominance belong to the advocate of religion.
Then the army of desire is driven back, bound.
And this is attained only through constant patience.
Those who reach this rank are granted victory in this world and in the Hereafter.
And they are those who said, "Our Lord is God," and then remained steadfast.
They are the ones to whom the angels say at the time of death, Do not fear and do not grieve.
Give glad tidings of the Paradise that you were promised.
We are your protectors in this worldly life and in the Hereafter.
And they are those who attained God's companionship with the steadfast.
And they are those who strove in Allah with the true striving due to Him.
And He singled them out for His guidance, excluding whoever was other than them.
The second case is that power and dominance are with the instigator of desire.
Then his contender, the instigator of religion, collapses completely.
So the wretched man surrenders to Satan and his troops.
So they lead him wherever they please.
And for him, with them, are two situations.
One of the two is that he be among their troops and their followers.
And this is the state of the helpless and the weak.
The second is that he becomes one of Satan's soldiers.
And this is the state of the wicked, powerful, overbearing innovator and preacher who is followed by others.
As the speaker said, I was one of Iblis's troops.
My condition rose so high that Iblis became one of my soldiers.
Then Iblis and his forces become among his helpers and followers.
And these are the people whose misery overcame them.
And they exchanged the life of this world for the Hereafter.
And they came to this state only because they had run out of patience.
And this condition is a state of severe affliction.
And being overtaken by misery, an adverse decree, and the gloating of enemies.
And the forces of its companions are guile and deception.
False hopes, self-deception, and delaying action.
Lengthy hopes and preferring the immediate over the later.
And this is what the Prophet said about the person who has it.
The helpless one is the one who follows his own self its desire and wishes on Allah the wishes.
And the people in this state are of many different kinds.
Among them is the one who fights against Allah and His Messenger.
One who seeks to nullify what the Messenger brought.
He turns people away from the way of God and, by his effort, seeks to bend and distort it.
to turn people away from it
And among them is the one who turns away from what the Messenger brought.
The one who is intent only on his worldly life and its desires.
And among them is the two-faced hypocrite.
One who lives by both disbelief and Islam.
And among them is the licentious man who amuses himself.
who cut short his life through debauchery, amusement, and games
