Bismillah-r-Rahman-r-RahimW All praises be to Allah, Lord and Sustainer of the worlds, and may the peace and
blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and upon his family and companions.
O Muslims, Allah Azza Wa Tabaraka says in the Quran in Suratul Al-A'raf:
"O Children of "O Children of "O Children of "O Children of AdamAdamAdamAdam let not Satan tempt you, as he removed your parents from paradise, stripping them of their clothing to let not Satan tempt you, as he removed your parents from paradise, stripping them of their clothing to let not Satan tempt you, as he removed your parents from paradise, stripping them of their clothing to let not Satan tempt you, as he removed your parents from paradise, stripping them of their clothing to

Iblis deceives the hearts, minds and the feelings of men in an aggressive battle, that has ‘ roaring sounds’ and foot
soldiers and horses that are brought for combat.
Allah describes in the Quran in Suratul Isra’ :
"And deceive whoever you can among them with your voice, and assault them with your horses, and foot soldiers, and "And deceive whoever you can among them with your voice, and assault them with your horses, and foot soldiers, and "And deceive whoever you can among them with your voice, and assault them with your horses, and foot soldiers, and "And deceive whoever you can among them with your voice, and assault them with your horses, and foot soldiers, and

(S.17 V.64)
Brothers in Islam, understand these types of tricks from Satan and ponder upon his satanic plans, this is something that
is extremely important as it shows the wrong way and the way of salvation; for Allah has guided to both ways and made
both paths clear.
Beloved brothers, Satan approaches mankind focusing on his weaknesses. The steps of Satan in tempting mankind
gradate until the son of Adam worships Satan besides Allah.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala says in the Quran in Suratul Ya Sin and Suratul Maryam:
"Did I not enjoined upon you, O Children of "Did I not enjoined upon you, O Children of "Did I not enjoined upon you, O Children of "Did I not enjoined upon you, O Children of AdamAdamAdamAdam that you not worship Satan, indeed he is to you a clear enemy" that you not worship Satan, indeed he is to you a clear enemy" that you not worship Satan, indeed he is to you a clear enemy" that you not worship Satan, indeed he is to you a clear enemy" (S.36
V.60)
"O My father don't worship"O My father don't worship"O My father don't worship"O My father don't worship Satan, indeed Satan has ever been to the most merciful disobedient" Satan, indeed Satan has ever been to the most merciful disobedient" Satan, indeed Satan has ever been to the most merciful disobedient" Satan, indeed Satan has ever been to the most merciful disobedient" (S.19 V.44)
In the Hadith, found in the books of Imam An-Nisa’ i and Ahmad, the Prophet (Salla Allahu Alaihi Wa
Sallam) said, "Satan sat, waiting for the son of Adam in all his pathways. He sat for him on the path of Islam and he
said do you become a Muslim and leave the religion of your fathers and grand fathers? And after this temptation to
become a disbeliever, there are different ways where he takes the sons of Adam into innovation, desires and doubts."
O Brothers anger is an act of rebellious of the mind and for those who are with sound minds and wisdom, anger causes a
loss of equilibrium. It is reported, that some of the Prophets said to Iblis. "By what did you defeat the son of
Adam?” He said, "At the time of anger and at the time of desire" Also Iblis threatens the rich and makes them fear
poverty, if they were intending to give charity and act generously. He makes wealth seem attractive and seeking it
through unlawful and immoral means.
The life of the son of Adam passes while he is swimming in an ocean of hopes, while he is indulged on the road of
misguidance. Satan promises him falsehood, promises him things that are impossible. The weak soul lives on this
promise and enjoys this falsehood and rejoices as young children rejoice (i.e. without thinking of the consequences).
O Muslims, this cursed one - Satan, has taken a covenant upon himself to sit for the son of Adam on all his paths.
Allah says in the Quran in Suratul Al-A’ raf:
" Satan said, because you have put me in error, I will surely sit and wait for them on your straight path," Satan said, because you have put me in error, I will surely sit and wait for them on your straight path," Satan said, because you have put me in error, I will surely sit and wait for them on your straight path," Satan said, because you have put me in error, I will surely sit and wait for them on your straight path,” ”” ”” ”” ” then I will come then I will come then I will come then I will come
to them from before them and from behind them, and on their right and on their left and you will not find most of them to them from before them and from behind them, and on their right and on their left and you will not find most of them to them from before them and from behind them, and on their right and on their left and you will not find most of them to them from before them and from behind them, and on their right and on their left and you will not find most of them

Iblis threatened and promised to do that, but his plan and his evil are weak and his plotting will fail. If the servant
equips himself with the ‘ weapons’ of faith and pure belief and is enthusiastic in acts of worship of his Lord and relies
on his Lord as Allah says in the Quran in Suratul An-Nahl:
""""IIIIndeed there is for him no authority over those who have believed and relied upon their ndeed there is for him no authority over those who have believed and relied upon their ndeed there is for him no authority over those who have believed and relied upon their ndeed there is for him no authority over those who have believed and relied upon their LordLordLordLord"""" (S.16 V.99)
He has neither authority nor power over the sincere people who embrace Islamic monotheism, but he has great power
and authority for those who take him as allies and disbelieve in Allah.
O Brothers, as clear and as obvious as it is, some believers might slip and fall, thus becoming affected by Satan, his
heart becoming afflicted with the whispers of Satan. However, as soon as he seeks the help of his Lord and rushes to
Him, remembers Him, and repents to Him, immediately Satan retreats.
Allah says in the Quran in Suratul An-A'raf:
"Indeed those who fear "Indeed those who fear "Indeed those who fear "Indeed those who fear Allah Allah Allah Allah when an impwhen an impwhen an impwhen an impulse touches them from Satan they remember ulse touches them from Satan they remember ulse touches them from Satan they remember ulse touches them from Satan they remember HHHHim and at once they have im and at once they have im and at once they have im and at once they have

Their strong bond and relation with their Lord protects them from following their enemy and the enemy of Allah. The
believer rids himself of the whispers and temptations of Satan by the remembrance of Allah, seeking His help and asking
for refuge in Him from Satan. O Allah ! Guide us to the right path. Strengthen our Iman
O Allah ! Give shifa (cure) to all those who are sick
O Allah ! Give Barakah and Halal Rizk in our business.
O Allah ! Give us Taufiq and strength to serve Islam and Muslims
O Allah ! May Grant us Halal Rizq and safety for Musmims in Japan and all over the world
O Allah ! Accept us for spreading Islam in Japan and all over the world Ya Rabbil Aalameen
