RNA – In a speech before the Friday prayer sermon held at Qom’s Qods Prayer Hall Hujjat al-Islam Sayyed Hoseyn Momeni, a teacher at Qom’s Ma’soumeh Seminary, considered one of the most important matters in the path of servitude to God as recognizing the enemies and said, “Satan is the sworn and obvious enemy of mankind and wants to distance mankind from the straight path.”
He added, “Mankind must have the necessary knowledge of Satan’s loopholes and tools of deviation which he uses to penetrate and to stand against them. Satan wants to dominate over and divert man with his tools. For this reason, understanding the loopholes Satan uses to penetrate and his tools of deviation is very important.”
Hujjat al-Islam Momeni stated that recognition of the enemies in operations is the first word and added, “One must know who the enemies are and which loopholes they use to penetrate and by what means and hostility they will act with. If man knows these things he can gain dominance over Satan and can close Satan and the enemies’ means to penetrate.”
His Eminence added, “Satan attacks people from various positions to keep servants away from servitude and thanksgiving to God and to push them into the abject valley of polytheism so that they can always see the empty part and not pay attention to the issues.”
He said, “Of course, our possessions and blessings are greater than our lack of possessions but Satan wants to change that so that we don’t give thanks to God. If man is continually thankful to God, he will find some success in his material and spiritual affairs.”
Hujjat al-Islam Momeni noted, “Satan’s sorrow is to deviate mankind by exaggerating afflictions and minimizing the blessings of mankind. One of the his endeavours is to portray the hereafter as unimportant in the eyes of mankind.”
