One must beware of newly coined words and phrases that involve affectation and extremism. One who seeks good follows the paths of the righteous without innovation or bid'ah. Allah Almighty warned against Iblis and his temptation, and commanded us to oppose him and avoid following him. A Muslim should follow the Quran and , associate with good people, seek refuge in Allah from Satan, and repent if they fall into his traps. The did not command testing Satan or confronting him; rather, it warned against him. Therefore, do not test your Satan; instead, reform yourself and strive in the way of Allah.
