When Wolves Become Shepherds
The Devils Da'wah Techniques for the Fall of Mankind

by Muhammad Alshareef



Another great lecture by Muhammad Alshareef, When Wolves Become Shepherds. To people who are interested, click on this link to buy the cd online. Here are some notes from the lecture:

Who is syaitan?
First name : Despair
Last name : The Cursed One
Goal in life : to annihilate and condemn every son and daughter of Adam and Hawa and will never stop until they are in hell fire.
Age : Older than humanity's father
syaitan's weapon : music

  • Syaitan has pledged to misguide every single person except for people who are ikhlas.
  • Remember Little Red Riding Hood? How the wolf ate the grandma and disguised itself as her and finally ate Little Red Riding Hood? Little Red asked "My, my Grandmother, how big eyes you have? " The 'Grandma' replied " to see you better, dear" and she asked again, "My, my grandma, how big teeth you have?" . "To eat you dear", said the 'Grandma'. Well, that was the end of Little Red Riding Hood. Little Red saw the signs but was not sure of the wolve. The same goes for Syaitan. We see the signs but we're not sure of syaitan, but actually it is him.

7 steps of annihilation of Human Kind:
  1. Syirik and Kufur towards Allah
  2. Bid'ah - trick a person by saying that it brings one near to Allah but actually doesn't.
  3. Major sins - murder, zina, back biting, riba'
  4. Minor sins- beware of sins that people belittle
  5. Busying people in al-Mubahat - wasting your time away doing petty things(ie watching football games & games maybe?)
  6. Focusing on less important things - taking someone from fadhil to mafdur
  7. Syaitan raises hell and army to destroy- being tested as you've never been tested before. (ie Umar alKhattab)
Techniques @ Footsteps of Syaitan
  1. Will make you think that things are harmless (Bid'ah)
  2. Take all the people of knowledge away from you
  3. Switches things to kufur and syirik
  4. Outstanding debts (ie credit card debts)
  5. Mind games - innocent questions which will bring to who created Allah? If so, say nauzubillah and it'll dissist insyaAllah
  6. Makes haram things look good
  7. Changing the creation of Allah - plucking eyebrows @ shaping them (will be cursed by Allah)
  8. Change the meaning of Quran
  9. People who are wasteful
  10. From the day you were born: Syaitan pinches you so azan in ear for newborn babies for protection.
How to protect yourself from syaitan ?
  • Zikir of Allah swt
  • Lower your gaze if see haram things
  • Iqamah in solat
  • Changing of phisiological state; say nauzubillah and spit 3 times on left side
  • If angry when standing, sit down, then lie down or make wuduk
2 last things to protect yourself with :
  1. istighfar
  2. Say Nauzubillah; if recite al Quran, asked Allah for protection
Conclusion
  • Darunnadwah
  • hadis analogy : wolf & sheep; there will be a time when the wolve will become the sheperd
  • how syaitan wages war
  • tv as the marketplace of syaitan
  • 7 syaitan's level of misguiding humanities
  • the voice of iblis = music
  • being consistent with solat
  • last but not least ISTIGHFAR - say more frequently in life.
Hope that all of us can benefit from this and be a better person and win the war that is being wage by syaitan. InsyaAllah.

Wallahu'alam.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullah,

I had to admit that I was enjoying my time reading these notes. Probably we did not realize that everyday we always being trapped with the techniques and those footsteps of syaitan.

And 1 point that makes me thinking for a long time is this point: Busying people in al-Mubahat - wasting your time away doing petty things(ie watching football games & games maybe?)

Hm, I am a die-hard-fan of soccer. Pedas2..

Anyway hope you will enjoy and get the benefit from the lectures. InsyaAllah.

Wallahu'alam.

Waalaikumsalam warahmatullah,

Human tend to forget. Remember the story abt a person being chased by a tiger and had to climb down a well? Unfortunately there were two crocodiles in there. Things became worse when two mices(a black and a white one) came and bit the rope he was hanging on to. He couldn't climb up or down. But then, a bee dropped a drop of honey and it fell into he's mouth. At that time, he totally forgot about the situation he was in but only the sweetness of the honey.

Secara tersirat, the person was us. The tiger was maut, ajal will always chase us. The two crocs were malaikat munkar and nakir who will question us in kubur. The black mice was night and the white one was day. The rope was our life. It may be long or it may be short.

Just because we were given nikmat(what's nikmat in english eyh?), we tend to forget about what's actually happening. Maut, life, Munkar and Nakir's questions that will be asked.

The problem is Amar, we all have the same problem. Jalan penyelesaian? Zikrullah. Sentiasa ingat pada Allah. I'm actually advising myself too. =). You know what..I turned down Aiman's offer of buying a ps3. Can't be too obsessed playing games right? FF13, well, it depends either I'm playing it or not. Din's changed too. He said he lost his passion playing games. Guess I'm the only person in the family who plays games. Not a good trait for a anak solehah eyh? Seems I have to grow up.

Wallahu'alam.
