Mini blog: Islam strong against satan

I'm not saying that Muslim brothers or sisters are especially resistant to sin. However, what I am saying is that Islam as a whole is powerful against satan as a whole.

Why? Because Islam emphasizes fear of Allah and the surrender of one's will into Allah's all knowing and kind hands. That is a powerful antidote toward the influence of satan.

When a people diminish their faith in God and resist his will, they open themselves up greatly toward satan's deceptions. Islam strengthens faith in Allah and his will. So does orthodox Christianity but secular and "New Age" temptations have eaten away at those core attitudes. Islam as a whole has held a firmer line, to the benefit of their pious people overall.
