May Allah greet you and bless you.
The questioner:
I begin this episode with this question from one of the listeners. He says: Your Excellency the Shaykh, please clarify the meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Fatir 35:8].
The Shaykh:
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2] And may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. The saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He: [Fatir 35:8] Satan adorns the ugly deeds, words, and actions for the children of Adam. But the people of faith are not deceived by Satan and his adorning of falsehood; rather, they refrain from such an action as long as it is an ugly action. They refrain from it by the knowledge Allah has given them and avoid it. But the disbelievers, Satan adorned these actions or deeds for them, so they found them good, deceived by Satan. Yes.
May Allah greet you and bless you.
