How Shaytan Hijacks Modern Minds (Without Them Realizing)

His 5 Stealth Tactics Today:

  1. Endless Scrolling → Too busy for salah
  2. "Your Truth" Culture → No absolute morality
  3. Glamorised Sin → Zina rebranded as "sexual liberation"
  4. Pride Pandemic  "I don’t need God" mindset
  5. Divided Ummah → Muslims fighting over politics

Quranic Insight:
"Surely Shaytan is your enemy - so treat him as an enemy." (35:6) → Recognize his tricks in daily life.

How to Respond to Haters (Without Losing Your Cool)

The 3-Step Formula:

  1. Empathize: "I get why you’d think that - media only shows extremes."
  2. Reframe: "What if I told you Islam actually bans forced marriage?"
  3. Personalize: *"Here’s how praying 5x/day changed my anxiety..."*

 

When to Disengage:

  • If they’re yelling  "Let’s chat when we’re both calm."
  • If they mock  "I’ll make dua Allah guides us both."
