How can loving a cartoon character be from Satan when it encourages acts of worship and deters from sins?
It seems that this intense attachment to a cartoon character is an entry point for Satan. A Muslim is only rewarded for acts of obedience if they are sincerely for Allah, and Allah only accepts acts of obedience that are purely for His Noble Face. Although performing acts of obedience to gain worldly or otherworldly benefits is permissible, provided it follows the primary principle of worshipping Allah, Satan may open doors of goodness for a servant to lead them into evil. Therefore, we advise letting go of this attachment to the cartoon character. Let the believer's aspiration be the pleasure of their Lord and a yearning to meet Him.
