How can one differentiate between the verses (or signs) that occur to the heart as a form of intimidation from Allah due to sins, and those that come from Satan? And what is one obligated to do if these verses are from Allah?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Satan does not mention Allah or His verses; rather, he enjoins immorality and evil. The verses that you remember, which instill in you fear of Allah Almighty, may be from an angel's inspiration, a thought within yourself, or a divine inspiration from Allah. This is a great good that should be utilized by abandoning prohibitions and performing enjoined acts, which will increase faith and steadfastness in the truth.
