UNVEILING THE SECRETS OF MAGIC AND MAGICIANS
Fortress 26, Ash-Shu’ara’ (The Poets), verse 210-211
These interpolated stories indicate that devils had an influence over God’s Envoy so that they could make him sick, although devils can never in fact attend his assemblies (cpth) at all. Al’lah says: “In fact, they are expelled from hearing it (The Qur’an).” The Holy Qur’an, Fortress 26, Ash-Shu’ara’ (The Poets), verse 212
So, would any illustration serve better than Al’lah’s? The Almighty says: “No power has he (Satan) over believers who put their trust in their Provider. He has power only over those who befriend him and those who take him as a god besides Al’lah.” The Holy Qur’an, Fortress 16, An-Nahl (The Bees), verse 99-100
Since Satan is chased away from holding any sway over a true believer, would it then be logical to think that he had power over Al’lah’s Envoy (cpth)? God forbid! Surely not! Thus, Satan’s domination acts only upon malicious people and polytheists who have turned away from spiritual surrender to Him, whereas this domination never affects God’s Envoy (cpth), who is the head of the monotheists. Besides, Satan himself trembled with terror and turned tail when he saw Al’lah’s Envoy (cpth) with those who believed alongside him. Indicating that, the Almighty says: “…but when the two armies came within sight of each other, he took to his heels, saying: ‘I am done with you, for I can see what you cannot. I fear Al’lah for His punishment is so stern’.” The Holy Qur’an, Fortress 8, Al-Anfal (Spoils of War), verse 48
That was what happened when he saw the Godly support for the believers, so how would it be with God’s Envoy (cpth) who is His successor on earth and His ambassador to all of creation?! For more illustration of this point we say that the word ‘peace’ in the statement, “communication with Al’lah and peace are through him” serves to show that Al’lah the Almighty kept him safe from every mutinous devil and from all the evil in creation due to his continuous recourse to Him and the fortification by his Provider of all of Creation and the oblivious humankind and oblivious jinn-kind. We also say: “peace is upon him.” The word ‘peace’ here indicates security from every 222
