The Seven dangerous traps of the

accursed devil

Allah tells us in the Qura’n

• [35.6] Surely the Shaitan is your enemy, so take him for an enemy; he only invites his party that they may be inmates of the burning

His ultimate goal is to doom us in this

world and in the Hereafter!How does he achieve this?

He won’t come directly and tell you disobey Allah!

Instead he will cleverly trick you into being a looser or a hopeless failure!!

By craftily laying down traps

Every time you are intelligent enough to escape one of his traps, he tries to ensnare you with another trap

It’s a dangerous road can we make it through without falling?

The accursed devil makes you commit the evil of Kufr and Shirk which is to disbelieve in Allah our Creator and to associate partners to Allah who is one and has no partners.

1st level

1st Dangerous Trap

Examples of this are:-

• Not accepting Islam as your religion.• Practising Magic.• Believing in Omens.• Having lucky charms, colours or numbers.• Believing in fortune tellers.• Worshipping graves.

Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything

else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin most

heinous indeed. -- Sura 4:48

Consequences

Being doomed in Hell forever

Remedy:-•Complete Tawheed.•Avoiding big and small

shirk.

If the accursed is not successful, he gets you involved in Bid’aah or inovations.

Iblees loves Bid'ah more than debauchery and disobedience because the harm of Bid'ah is in the essence of the religion. Moreover, it is an un-repentable sin and is against the call of the Messengers.

2nd level

2nd Dangerous Trap

Examples of these are:-*Celebrating the Birth of the Prophet .•Having special gatherings for death anniversary.• Announcing special timely gatherings on death time.•Having special weekly (Thursday) meetings in the house of deceased.

*Not getting to drink from pond of Kauther.

* Most severe punishment in Hell fire after the Polytheists for altering

the Deen.

Remedy:-•Complete Tawbah.

If that too fails then the accursed makes you commit Major sins. Every time you commit a major sin you will have to serve a sentence in Hell fire. One such sentence is one Huqub. A Huqub is equal to eighty years of Aakhirah. A day of Aakhirah is equal to 1000 years of Dunya!!!Therfore to know the amount of days of this world for which one will have to burn in hell fire is:80x360x1000????
