:sl:

Insha'Allah he still is a Muslim if he tries his best to fight with the Shaytaan.

Ask him to do some Dhikr Insha'Allah...It might help.

Allahu Alim

:w:
 
i Still cant belive he trusted me with this story SubhanAllah

thank you for this advice i will do all that i can to help him and i will show him this thread!
 
A man once came to Rasululllah peace be upon him and complained to him that the Shaytaan whispers to him In Salaat. Rasulullah then asked the other Companions "do you find this also?" So they said "Yes O Rasulullah" So Rasulullah said "Verily this is a sign of Imaan"

And A Sahabi once came to Ibn Abbas (if I'm not mistaken he is the one) and said to him "Ya Ibn Abbas, verily the Jews claim that their worship is better than ours, since the Shaitaan does not whisper to them in their prayer" So Ibn Abbas replied "And why would the Shaitaan want to wreak havoc in a destructed heart?"

Because the Shaytaan will not want to go and bother the person who is already firmly rooted in his disbeleif, rather he wants to go and bother and whisper to the person who has Iman in his heart. And Rasulullah already clearly stated that this is a sign that a man possesses Iman Insha'allah.

Ask your friend to do as how we were ordered to do in Salaat if we feel that Shaytaan is bothering us : lightly spit three times to the left of our shoulder whilst saying A'udhubillah min ash Shaitaan ar rajeem.

Insha'allah this is just a test for your friend and make sure he understands this also. Tell him to read lots of Qur'an and do acts which strengthen the Iman.
 
I don't want to interrupt the flow of this thread or dostract from Dawud's question, but when does somebody stop being a Muslim then? (Other than the obvious, i.e. when s/he apostates)

Thanks.
 
I don't think his Islam would be affected. Advise him to ignore the thoughts, and not to worry about them. Shaitaan always tries to distract during Salaat cos it's time when people are trying to connect to Allah. Here's a close translation of last ayaat of sura A'raaf....

200. And if an evil whisper comes to you from Shaitân (Satan) then seek refuge with Allâh. Verily, He is All-Hearer, All-Knower.

201. Verily, those who are Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2), when an evil thought comes to them from Shaitân (Satan), they remember (Allâh), and (indeed) they then see (aright).

202. But (as for) their brothers (the devils) they (i.e. the devils) plunge them deeper into error, and they never stop short.

203. And if you do not bring them a miracle [according to their (i.e. Quraish-pagans') proposal], they say: "Why have you not brought it?" Say: "I but follow what is revealed to me from my Lord. This (the Qur'ân) is nothing but evidences from your Lord, and a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe."

204. So, when the Qur'ân is recited, listen to it, and be silent that you may receive mercy. [i.e. during the compulsory congregational prayers when the Imâm (of a mosque) is leading the prayer (except Sûrat Al-Fâtiha), and also when he is delivering the Friday-prayer Khutbah]. [Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol.9, Pages 162-4]

205. And remember your Lord by your tongue and within yourself, humbly and with fear without loudness in words in the mornings, and in the afternoons and be not of those who are neglectful.

206. Surely, those who are with your Lord (angels) are never too proud to perform acts of worship to Him, but they glorify His Praise and prostrate before Him. (Ayat for Sajdah)

106. Whoever disbelieved in Allâh after his belief, except him who is forced thereto and whose heart is at rest with Faith but such as open their breasts to disbelief, on them is wrath from Allâh, and theirs will be a great torment.

Sura Nahl

When one accepts disbelief with all his heart...he's no longer a muslim.

Peace

P.S. this isn't about dawood's question :)
 
This may be a purely Christian perspective, and not very helpful to the discussion, but I'll give it a shot anyway:

People who are 'lukewarm' in their faith and don't take it very seriously often don't have a sense of Statan's presence in their lives.
In contrast, when somebody pushes forward in their faith, get closer to God or seek him more earnestly, Satan will try to interfere and distract that person all the harder! People may then feel tormented by doubt, questions and temptations.

So, if this guy is 'worthy' of Satan's attention, it may be that his walk with God is strong! :statisfie He just needs to keep walking in his faith and push through ... until Satan realises that he cannot win!

peace.

Thanks, Sohrab

So the crucial question is not whether somebody is feeling doubt and questions - but whether s/he is giving into those feelings? Would you agree?

Peace.
 
That is in fact true. The more iman you have the more shaytaan tries to lure you away. But if you have committed kufr or shirk...:-\.... i don't know what's going on!:'(

Indeed i would agree. I was amazed at your quote (from bible, was it?). I'm tempted to study it more closely now. :)

Sorry, I must have missed your earlier post.
I have read it now. Yes, it says very much the same thing ... :statisfie

Peace.
 
kufr is someone who has denied Allah

SubhanAllah , so this could mean that this guy has a strong imaan huh?
WOW! and to think him being so close to me!
Alhamdulilahi rabi al alamein

Ask your friend to do as how we were ordered to do in Salaat if we feel that Shaytaan is bothering us : lightly spit three times to the left of our shoulder whilst saying A'udhubillah min ash Shaitaan ar rajeem.
