<strong>Devils</strong> <strong>Deception</strong> of them regarding al-Tawakkul<br />

(Reliance on Allah)<br />

He has deceived some who claim to have tawakkul. <strong>The</strong>y left their<br />

homes without food thinking that this was tawakkul. <strong>The</strong>y are severely<br />

wrong.<br />

A man told <strong>Imam</strong> Arymad <strong>Ibn</strong> l:Ianbal (ratfiyAlkihu 'anhu): I intend<br />

to travel to Makkah without food, relying on Allah. At this <strong>Imam</strong><br />

Arymad said: <strong>The</strong>n you should travel alone without company. <strong>The</strong><br />

man responded: No, I have to travel with company, so AQmad responded:<br />

So you are going to base your tawakkul on the food that<br />

others have brought with them!<br />

So we ask Allah to aid us.<br />

Devil's <strong>Deception</strong> of Warriors (al-ghazdh)<br />

Iblis has deceived many warriors. <strong>The</strong>y went for jihad with the<br />

intention of showing off, or seeking war booty.<br />

Actions are but <strong>by</strong> intention.<br />

Abu Musa (rmffy'llkihu 'anhu) said: A man came to to ask the Prophet<br />

(): 0 Allah's Messenger! A man fights out bravery, out of anger,<br />

or to showoff, which of them fights in the cause of Allah? <strong>The</strong><br />

Prophet () said: "He who fights so that Allah's Word is superior,<br />

then he fights in Allah's cause."139<br />
