THE HEAVIEST blow to Satan

THE HEAVIEST blow to Satan, the most successful method to counter his tricks and the greatest shield against his distrusts is that man should give his wealth in charity, and spend his money in the cause of Allah. For this reason the devil inspires man to be weak and narrow-minded so that he may be prevented from giving generously and be involved in the entanglements of the material world:
"The devil threatens you with poverty and bids you to lewd conduct. Allah promises you His fogiveness and bounties. And Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing." --- (Baqarah : 268)

It is mentioned in the hadith:
"When a man decides to give something in charity, a group of seventy devils clings to him and tries to put him off it." --- (Ahmed)

"So fear Allah as much as you can; listen and obey; and spend in charity for the benefit of your won souls; and those saved from the convetousness of their own souls, ---they are the ones that achieve prosperity"    (Taghabun : 16)
