On Whom Does the Deception of Satan Work?
The deception of Satan works only on those people who are weak in faith and are already prepared to respond to satanic actions, and for whom many doors of fulfillers of needs and removers of difficulties are open. If their purpose is not fulfilled at one door, they go to another, and among them are some who rely merely on apparent means. Such people immediately fall into the traps of Satan. But those who keep their eyes only on Allah and trust only in Him, the deception of Satan cannot be effective on them.
[85] That is, those who trust in Allah, Allah also manages and straightens their affairs in such amazing ways that a person cannot even imagine. In fact, a person himself is astonished at such unseen help from Allah, and out of gratitude, his love for Allah and trust in Him increases even more.
