The Devil’s Deception (Talbis Iblis)

The Devil’s Deception (Talbis Iblis)

Throughout Islamic history, scholars have warned that spiritual decline often begins not with obvious wrongdoing but with subtle deception. Temptation may appear attractive by disguising falsehood as truth, excess as devotion, or negligence as harmless. Recognizing these forms of deception is an essential step toward protecting one's faith and maintaining sincerity in worship.
