Through my journey in life, I had many friends, and partners who had influenced my decision making.

Especially those who I gave my heart to. Those I love. Because to me, Love meant to be obedient to the one you love. To fear their dissatisfaction.

And, I wanted to make them happy. And it felt right.

The only issue is, when we lose control of our selves. When we lose control of our own decision making. When we lose control over what we believe is the right thing to do, for us.

Each one of us has a different process of thinking, and a different perspective of what is right for them, so this is not a general trend. Rather, it is my own strategy of viewing things, that seems to me pretty clear.

Allah swt strikes an example in the noble Quran to remind those who “Listen”, and “Think”. He says;

“[Their allies deceived them] like the example of Satan when he says to man, “Disbelieve.” But when he disbelieves, he says, “Indeed, I am disassociated from you. Indeed, I fear Allah , Lord of the worlds.” 59:16

In this example I view a few main points that need to be microscope-ed.

1* Allah swt compares those who deceive another human to satan.

2* Satan seduces man to disbelieve. Similar to what most of societal temptations implode, and impose upon Humans today.

3*Every Human will Disassociate them selves from you on the day of resurrection. Satan will disassociate him self from you. And He will say “Indeed, I fear Allah, Lord of the worlds”.

Even satan will admit that Allah is the Lord of the worlds.

And, I ask you, isn’t the story of Satan something we can learn from?

I think we can. You see, I feel that Wisdom can be learnt from anyone, and anything.

You just have to keep your eyes open.

And, not allow the barrier of enmity. Not allow the barrier of dislike. Not allow the barrier of disagreement. Not allow our selves to close doors!

Not allow our own close mindedness, not allow us to receive information that can be beneficial to us during our journey.

Wisdom from satan. I am thankful to Allah for creating satan, other wise we wouldn’t  have known this story that can change our lives. And turn our outlook inward.

View our own behavior. View our own responses towards different situations that come along during our journey.

And remember if we can learn wisdom from Satan, which is considered by most of Major religions of the world to be the “Enemy”” Devil”, Don’t you think you can learn wisdom from those who are trying to the best of their ability to obey God?.

We are humans, and we make mistakes. Forgive, learn, be kind, look for quality life, not quantity life.

Every moment is a part of your life. Do not let any moment be used to envy,  hold grudges, hate, be greedy, or allow negative thoughts to enter your process of thinking.

Think well of God.

Think well of people.

Keep your self open to learn, and know that there is an opportunity to learn every day.

In every moment.

In every situation.

Be thankful to God, even when you do not directly view the light.

Because Your heart have been beating since the moment you were born, until the moment you die, while you do not see it, not responsible for it, and in many cases you’re not aware of it. You just have to trust the process of the One who Created. Trust!
