Beware of the bandit !
Sheikhul -Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) said:” Every time a person wants to turn his heart to Allah, whispers of other matters come to him. The Shaytan is like a bandit, every time a person wants to travel towards Allah, he wants to intercept him. Hence it was said to one of the salaf, ’ the Jews and the Christians say, we don’t experience waswas (whispers) .He replied, ‘They are right ! What would Shaytan do with a ruined house?
( Majmoo’ al Fatawa 22/608)
