In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
The main purpose of this book is to appeal to the reader’s interest in a subject that has been the theme of many writers and can never be exhausted, because it is eternally interesting to all humans. This is a book that depicts the struggle of humans under the opposing influences of good and evil.
In every moment of our lives, there exists an unseen battle, one fought not with swords or shields, but within the depths of our hearts and minds. It is a struggle between the forces of good and evil, each vying for our allegiance, whispering in our ears, guiding our thoughts, and influencing our actions.
From the moment a child takes their first breath, they are assigned two unseen companions: one an angel, the other a devil. These two beings represent the eternal struggle that every human faces in their journey through life. The angel whispers words of virtue, righteousness, and mercy, guiding the heart toward light and truth. The devil, on the other hand, urges selfishness, temptation, and sin, leading the soul toward darkness and destruction.
The choice, however, is not forced. It is left to us, the human beings, to decide whose whispers we will heed. We are endowed with intellect and will, the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and the free will to make decisions that shape our destinies. But it is not an easy path, for the struggle is constant, and the heart is often swayed by the complexities of life.
This book delves into this profound inner conflict, exploring the powerful influence of angels and devils on human behavior. Drawing upon the sacred verses of the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), we seek to understand the nature of these influences and how they guide or mislead us in our pursuit of truth and righteousness.
Through this exploration, I invite you, the reader, to reflect on your own journey. To whom are you listening: the whispers of your angel or the whispers of your devil? How do you navigate the complexities of your choices, and how can you strengthen your connection to the divine light that leads to peace and salvation?
May this book serve as a reminder that, no matter the struggle, the path to goodness is always within reach for those who choose it. And that with every decision we make, we can be guided by the wisdom, mercy, and love of Allah Almighty.
