Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.
In his opening address he said,
'We can't keep Muslims from going to
Masjid.'
'We can't keep them from reading their Quran
and knowing the truth.'
'We can't even keep them from forming an
intimate relationship with their
Allah and his messenger Muhammad.'
'Once they gain that connection with Allah, our
power over them is broken.'
'So, let them go to their Masjids; let them have
their covered dish
dinners, BUT steal their time, so they don't have
time to develop a
relationship with Allah and his messenger
Muhammad.'
'This is what I want you to do,' said the
devil:
'Distract them from gaining hold of their Allah and
maintaining that vital
connection throughout their day!'
'How shall we do this?' his demons
shouted.
'Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and
invent innumerable
schemes to occupy their minds,' he answered.
'Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow,
borrow, borrow.'
'Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours
and the husbands to work
6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can
afford their empty
lifestyles.'
'Keep them from spending time with their
children.'
'As their families fragment, soon, their homes will
offer no escape from
the pressures of work!'
'Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot
hear that still, small
voice.'
'Entice them to play the radio or cassette player
whenever they
drive.'
'To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going
constantly in their home and
see to it that every store and restaurant in the world
plays music
constantly.'
'This will jam their minds and break that union
with Allah and his messenger
Muhammad.'
'Fill the coffee tables with magazines and
newspapers.'
'Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a
day.'
'Invade their driving moments with
billboards.'
'Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order
catalogs, sweepstakes,
and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering
free products,
services and false hopes.'
'Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and
TV so their husbands
will believe that outward beauty is what's
important, and they'll become
dissatisfied with their wives. '
'Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at
night.'
'Give them headaches too!'
'If they don't give their husbands the love
they need, they will begin to
look elsewhere.'
'That will fragment their families
quickly!'
'Give them story books to distract them from
teaching their children the
real meaning of Salat.'
'Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect
on Allah's
creation.
'Send them to amusement parks, sporting events,
plays, concerts, and movies
instead.'
'Keep them busy, busy, busy!'
'And when they meet for spiritual fellowship,
involve them in gossip and
small talk so that they leave with troubled
consciences. '
'Crowd their lives with so many good causes they
have no time to seek power
from Allah.'
'Soon they will be working in their own strength,
sacrificing their health
and family for the good of the cause.'
'It will work!'
'It will work!'
It was quite a plan!
The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing
Muslims everywhere to
get busier and more rushed, going here and
there.
Having little time for their Allah or their
families.
Having no time to tell others about the power of Allah
and his messenger
Muhammad to change lives.
I guess the question is, has the devil been successful
in his schemes?
You be the judge!!!!!
Does 'BUSY' mean:
B-eing
U-nder
S-atan's
Y-oke?
