Six If Al-'Abd has kept Iblees from succeeding at this level, and if
he is careful about his time, being covetous with it, knows the value
of moments, andknows the value of what comes of comfort or torment,
Iblees transfers him to the sixth level:
The SIXTH CLASS is to OCCUPY HIM WITH DEEDS OF LESSER REWARD to
keepvirtue away from him and to prevent him from attaining the reward
of the favoured deed.
Therefore, he orders him to do a good action with less reward if that
includesleaving a better action. Very few people are awareof this.
Because if a person feels a strong urge to some kind of obedience, he
does not doubt that it is true obedience and that he is getting closer
to Allaah (SWT).. He never thinks that this call is from Iblees
because he believes that Iblees never calls one to do good. Therefore,
he thinks that this call is from Allaah (SWT).. Actually he isexcused
because he never knew that Iblees would call one to seventy doors of
good deeds either to get him to one door of evilor to let a better
deed than these seventy deeds pass away from him.
This cannot be known except by a light from Allaah (SWT),, a light he
instils in the heart of Al-'Abd. The source of this type of knowledge
is following the way of Ar-Rasool (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) and
taking care of the levels of deeds with Allaah (SWT),, the deeds of
His favoured ones, the deeds more pleasing to Him, and thosemore
beneficial to Al-'Abd, and deeds that have more Naseehah (guidance)
from Allaah (SWT),, His Rasool, His Book, and His
believingworshippers. No one has this type of knowledge except the
inheritors of Ar-Rasool (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam), his deputies
in the Ummah, and his successors on earth. In addition, most of the
creation is screened from this. This call does not come to their
hearts. Allaah (SWT) gives His favour to whomever He wills from among
His worshippers.
Seven If Al-'Abd prevents Iblees from trapping him at any of these six
levels, and if it becomes difficult for Iblees, he empowers his party
of jinn and human beings with different kindsof harm:
IMPUTING DISBELIEF TO HIM, CALLING HIM MISGUIDED AND AN INNOVATOR,
WARNING PEOPLE AGAINST HIM, and intending to weaken him and to disturb
his heart. Iblees, by using this method, tries to confuse this
person's thinking and tries to PREVENT PEOPLE FROM BENEFITING FROM
HIM. Therefore Iblees expends his utmost effort to empower the
defendersof falsehood, from human beings and from jinn, against him.
Then the believer is at war until death. Whenever he gives up, he is
hurt or is taken captive. Hence the believeris in Jihad until he meets
with Allaah (SWT)..
Finally, I hope you take note of this chapter and think about its
great benefit. Moreover, make this knowledge your balance to weigh
people and deeds. This shows yousome universal realities and the level
of people. Allaah (SWT) is the one from whom I seek aid, andon Him I
depend.
