SATAN - The Master
Hypnotist
How Satan hypnotizes humanity
Hypnosis is a trance-like condition
characterized by an altered state of consciousness, diminished will
power, and an increased responsiveness to suggestion. People differ in
their suggestibility to hypnosis. A person cannot be hypnotized against
his will; he must obey the suggestions of a hypnotist. Hypnosis has been
employed to help people with physical and psychological diseases, as
well as for harmful purposes. An effective hypnotist is skilled in
gaining the confidence of his clients. He knows that `it takes two', the
client and himself, to produce the desired effects. Our concern here is
with the Master Hypnotist who misleads humanity en masse. The Master
Hypnotist also gains the trust of his subjects. But, unlike human
hypnotists, he is invisible.
...He (Satan) and his tribe can see
you, while YOU DO NOT SEE THEM. We appoint the devils as companions of
those who do not believe. [7:27]
Satan meets and even exceeds the
qualifications of a hypnotist because he knows when and how to make his
suggestions, according to a person's mind, character, desires and
habits. He has considerable knowledge of human nature, and he has
thoroughly succeeded in rendering millions of humans unable to use their
minds.
(Satan said,) "I will come to them from
before them, and from behind them, and from their right, and from their
left, and You will find less millions of people say, "I believe in God,"
when in fact their hearts do not mean it. Their utterance is no more
than lip service to go along with parents, friends, or the society at
large. Whenever they have opportunities to break away from deception and
doubt, they cling to fabricated falsehoods. This leaves them susceptible
to Satan's hypnosis. For the Master Hypnotist is given access to the
person's true intentions and innermost beliefs, not outward appearances
and lip-service utterances. By going against their God-given instinct to
worship God alone and uphold His word alone, people enable the Master
Hypnotist to set them up for self-destruction behind an invisible
barrier.
Recall that your Lord summoned all the
descendants of Adam, and had them bear witness for themselves: "Am I not
your Lord?" They all said, "Yes. We bear witness." Thus, you cannot say
on the Day of Resurrection, "We were not aware of this." [7:172]
Some followers of the scripture wish to
lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, without
perceiving. [3:69]
They repel others from this (Quran), as
they themselves stay away from it, and thus, they only destroy
themselves with-out perceiving. [6:26]
As for those who reject our
revelations, we lead them on without them ever realizing it. I will even
encourage them; My scheming is formidable. [7:182-183]
Satan gradually instills his
suggestions into the minds of his subjects; ideas counter to the worship
God alone. Satan hypnotizes his subjects into doing anything that
reflects disbelief, idol-worship, or hypocrisy.
They are like the devil: he says to the
human being, "Disbelieve," then as soon as he disbelieves, he says, "I
disown you. I fear God, Lord of the universe." [59:16]
A trained hypnotist slowly infuses his
directives into the subject's mind because this "drop by drop" approach
helps the subject understand the instructions. But, in Satan's case, it
is a matter of making a person feel at home with negative prompts. God
protects His sincere servants from the Master Hypnotist's obvious and
subtle attempts to hypnotize them.
Say, "My Lord, I seek refuge in You
from the whispers of the devils. And I seek refuge in You, my Lord, lest
they come near me." [23:97-98]
And the devil will say, after the
judgment had been issued, "God has promised you the truthful promise,
and I promised you, but I broke my promise. I had no power over you; I
simply invited you, and you accepted my invitation. Therefore, do not
blame me, and blame only yourselves. My complaining cannot help you, nor
can your complaining help me. I have disbelieved in your idolizing me.
The transgressors have incurred a painful retribution." [14:22]
When you read the Quran, you shall seek
refuge in God from Satan the rejected. He has no power over those who
believe and trust in their Lord. His power is limited to those who
choose him as their master, those who choose him as their god.
[16:98-100]
(O Satan,) "You have no power over My
servants. You only have power over the strayers who follow you." [15:42]
"You may entice them with your voice,
and mobilize all your forces and all your men against them, and share in
their money and children, and promise them. Anything the devil promises
is no more than an illusion. As for My servants, you have no power over
them." Your Lord suffices as an advocate. [17:64-65] |
