A believer who has reached the highest stage of belief fears nothing but the Might of Allah and his own sins. It is because he has realized that all the creatures from Adam (a.s.) to the angels and all the animals, birds and insects are the obedient soldiers of Allah. None of them move a step without His command. Hence they could not cause any harm or benefit without Allah ’s permission. When a person develops this belief, he is not fearful of anything. Even if all the swords of the world come to attack. If Allah wills, not a single nerve could be cut by them.
The opposition of both the friend and the foe is from Allah. Because the hearts of both are in the control of Allah). However evil the claimant may intend, only that which Allah permits comes to pass. There is a tradition that, “The extreme kind of belief consists of not fearing anything except Allah.” The Holy Prophet (saw) used to recite this in prostration. “O Allah if Your anger is not upon me then there is nothing I care for.”
The Question is Why did Allah create Jin and Men!! And I have not created the jinn and the men except that they should serve Me (51:56)
Aqa Mahdi Puya says: This is the purpose of creation, as expressed in the holy book-to act according to the will and the command of Allah. The most perfect form of action is the absolute submission to His will, that is, Islam. Therefore, of the creatures, whoever is better in manifesting His will and His command throughout life, will be closer to the purpose of creation, and therefore nearer to Him.
The more perfect in obedience will be nearer to the creator, and the closer they are to Him, the more perfect they will be in the order of creation. Imam Jafar bin Muhammad As Sadiq (as) said: “Allah created man and gave him faculties of observation and contemplation to acquire knowledge with which he understands the manifestation of His power and then submits to Him.” Without knowledge man’s adoration of Allah has no real worth.
The actual meaning of adoration is not the performance of rituals or a few prescribed formal prayers, recited by the mouth. Adoration involves surrender of ego, self-control and discipline, so that he acts only in consonance with the expressed will of Allah, by abiding with His commands. The whole life-activity of the individual should be nothing but the fulfilment of the will of Allah.
A good reminder if one wants to be successful can be captured in the following verse: Whoever does an evil, he shall not be recompensed (with aught) but the like of it, and whoever does good, whether male or female, and he is a believer, these shall enter the garden, in which they shall be given sustenance without measure. (40;40)
The acts which goes in contrary to the teachings of Ahulbayt has no value and does not bring any reward and only make man miserable in this world and hereafter.
In conclusion, a person with a positive mental health awareness is more resilient and can withstand peer and external pressure of being manipulated and maintain a balance approach towards life and have an excellent relationship with God and his Chosen’s ones.
The Jinn and Satanic whispering and others cannot cause harm one who has developed a strong mechanism of Tawhid in-built within , while following the teachings of Ahlulbayt and being in the Straight path .But it is just a pity, sometimes a person of intellect falls into the traps of Jinn and unscrupulous ‘so called’ Scholars whilst nothing can happened without permission of Allah and while man not realising his true potential : a capacity and rise above the position of the Angel.
