各位教親，
我們在台灣生活平常應該都對防範詐騙的觀念很熟悉。不管是政府機關、學校還是公司，大家都在不斷宣導防範詐騙的觀念，目的就是為了保護我們自己，不要掉進詐騙集團的陷阱而導致我們損失辛苦賺來的錢。現在的詐騙手法千變萬化，有電話詐騙、釣魚郵件、還有 AI 冒充身分等等。我們都對這些不斷翻新的手法相當了解，大家也都會互相提醒，也會時時刻刻保持警覺，小心自己不要受騙。
但是，我們同樣在面對歷史上最大的詐騙犯的時候，我們又是怎麼防範的呢？我所講的這個詐騙犯，就是魔鬼 Shaytan。魔鬼騙走的不單單只是你的金錢，而是你整個後世的未來。我們自己有沒有真的好好了解魔鬼的詐騙手法？我們有沒有好好教導我們自己、我們的家人跟我們的孩子，該如何防範魔鬼的騙局？
我們都會說魔鬼是我們最大的敵人，但如果我們連他會對我們使用什麼樣的陰謀詭計都不清楚，我們又該怎麼跟他對抗呢？所以我們作為穆斯林，我們必須得好好學習跟研究這些手法提高警覺，對這些手段的重視程度甚至應該要超過我們防範人類詐騙集團的態度。
我們首先必須要明白，魔鬼的終極目標不是要讓人去崇拜他，他的目的只是要盡可能誤導所有人，把大家一起拖進火獄裡受苦。這是在古蘭經裡面就有提到的：
魔鬼 Iblees 對真主說：「以你的尊榮發誓， 我必將他們全體加以誘惑，唯獨不誘惑你的純潔的僕人。」
就像那些對潛在詐騙跟電腦病毒極度小心防範的人一樣，內心真誠、對真主有堅定信仰的人，同樣也能免受到魔鬼的攻擊。
魔鬼使用的第一種常見手法，也是很多人容易掉進去的陷阱，就是把罪惡大事化小，讓我們覺得這些小過錯根本沒什麼，直到這些小罪惡不斷累積加重，最後讓人開始犯下嚴重的大罪。一開始可能只是稍微拖延禮拜，到最後直接徹底錯過禮拜；從一開始只是隨意看一眼，到最後犯下了醜事；從一開始只是聊聊八卦，到最後變成造謠毀謗其他人。這每種情況在剛開始的時候看起來都沒什麼，但如果我們在犯那個小小的錯誤時沒有讓我們感到有罪惡感，那魔鬼就會繼續讓它推進，一直到事情一發不可收拾，我們甚至都還沒有察覺。
這也就是為什麼我們的教法規定裡面，有很多規定其實都是預防性的，就是為了要我們在早期階段就可以採取行動，來保護我們自己免於陷入更大的危機當中。像是降低視線；像是一到時間就提早去禮拜；像是沒有好話說就保持安靜。只要我們在做錯事情的時候心裡還仍然保有這份愧疚感，我們就不應該忽視掉這種感覺，而且應該當場馬上立刻去改正。
魔鬼使用的第二種常見手法，就是朝我們的心靈灌輸負面的念頭，給我輕聲細語的誘惑跟挑撥。他就是利用這種方式在穆斯林之間製造仇恨和分裂，讓一個穆斯林弟兄對另一個弟兄產生負面的猜疑和不信任，或者讓大家分心去關注一些本來明明是微不足道的小事，把小事化大，讓大家互相爭吵攻擊。其中一個最明顯的例子就是極端國家民族主義的概念，就單純因為某些人所劃定出來的一條虛構的國界，就讓一個人去看不起另一個人，或者對他人抱有惡意的成見。我們都能清楚見證到，這種想法對我們穆斯林整體社群造成了多麼巨大的傷害。
但是我們又該怎麼去分辨腦海中浮現的念頭，到底是來自魔鬼的誘惑，還是我們自己內心的私慾呢？學者們說，如果那個突然出現的念頭讓我們自己都感到震驚意外，那就是來自魔鬼的低語。而對抗這種惡念最好的方法，就是完全不要去理會那些念頭，然後立刻向真主尋求庇護。就像真主在古蘭經裡面教導我們的：如果惡魔慫恿你，你應當求庇於安拉。[41:46]
既然這些誘惑跟惡念隨時隨地都可能出現，我們就必須時刻做好準備來保護自己。這也是為什麼先知 ﷺ 教導我們，要經常誦讀古蘭經的最後三章，忠誠章、破曉章跟世人章，也要經常念日常的祈禱詞 adhkar 來保護我們自己。
魔鬼使用的第三種手法，就是給我們虛假的承諾。這就跟詐騙集團騙人時一模一樣，他們會給你展示一種可以輕鬆賺錢的捷徑，但實際上你最後不僅什麼都得不到，反而還毀掉了你整個人生。那你可能又會想，魔鬼是要怎麼給我們承諾呢？
就是讓我們心裡產生這些想法：如果我稍微晚一點禮拜，我就可以更有效率地把手上的工作做完，然後就可以賺更錢了；或者是如果我捐太多錢，我自己就會變窮。所有這些虛假承諾的共同點，就是它們都在轉移我們的注意力，讓我們不把眼光放遠，讓我們徹底忘記後世的概念。
所以只有在我們真正去學習和了解魔鬼的手法的時候，我們才能清楚看穿魔鬼到底希望我們做些什麼、想從我們身上得到什麼，我們就可以跟他唱反調，去做跟他想要的完全相反的事。
當我們犯錯或者是突然被驚嚇的時候，如果我們只是單純去詛咒魔鬼，那只會讓他更得意忘形。所以我們不應該把注意力放在魔鬼身上，而是應該多記念真主的尊名。就跟先知 ﷺ 教導我們的一樣，我們應該以真主之名面對當下 Bismillah，魔鬼就會退縮，變得像蒼蠅一樣小。這是我們平常需要多加練習跟習慣的舉動，當我們突然聽到一聲巨響、遇到意外、或是身體受傷的時候，不要去開口詛咒或說出難聽的髒話，而是要唸一句 Bismillah 來記念真主。
我們祈求真主使我們成為被他揀選的僕人，求真主保護我們跟我們的家人，免受魔鬼的陷阱跟誘惑。求真主凝聚我們的心靈，並守護我們全體穆斯林社群。

Dear brothers and sisters,
As people living in Taiwan, we are probably quite aware with being cautious about scammers. Whether it’s the government or schools or companies, they all try to spread a type of awareness in order to protect ourselves from falling into the trap of scammers and losing our money. And we know that nowadays there are hundreds and thousands of new tactics employed by the scammers, through phone calls, email phishing, impersonation. We are all quite familiar with these tactics that keep on updating and we are intentionally being careful not to get scammed.
But when it comes to the biggest scammer in history, who doesn’t make you lose your money, but makes you lose your entire Hereafter, the Shaytan, do we actually understand what his tactics are? Have we really taught ourselves and our families and our children how to prevent ourselves from being scammed by him? When we call Shaytan our enemy, how can we fight against him if we don’t understand what kind of plots he would use against us? So it’s very essential for us as Muslims to learn and study and spread awareness about the tricks of Shaytan the same way or even more rigorously than how we remind ourselves not to get scammed by human scammers.
What we need to understand is that the goal of Shaytan is not for people to worship him, it’s to misguide and drag as many people with him into the Hellfire as possible, as mentioned in the Qur’an:
قَالَ فَبِعِزَّتِكَ لَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Shaytan said to Allah: “By Your Glory! I will certainly mislead them all, except Your chosen servants among them.” [38:82-83]
Just like how those of us who are extremely cautious with potential scammers and viruses, those who are sincere and have firm belief in Allah are also excluded from being attacked by the Shaytan.
The first kind of tactic that the Shaytan uses that many people fall into, is to minimize sins and make them seem like nothing, until the sins keeps building up so much so that people start committing major sins. From a short delay to missing a prayer, from a quick stare to committing Zina, from a gossip to slandering others. It all seemed like nothing at the beginning, but if that small act did not cause our heart to feel uncomfortable or make us feel guilty, then Shaytan can continue to extend it until we don’t even notice when it’s already too late.
That is also why many of the rulings in our Shari’ah are preventive measures, to protect ourselves from even bigger problems by taking actions in the early stages, such as lowering our gaze, such as praying early on time, such as staying silent if we have nothing good to say. As long as we still feel the guilt in our hearts when committing mistakes, we should not ignore it and try to counter it right there and then.
The second common tactic that the Shaytan uses is the whispering of evil thoughts, the waswas and the nazagha. He uses this method to create animosity and division among the Muslims, to make one Muslim brother have a negative assumption and doubt about another Muslim brother, or make them distracted and focus on something that shouldn’t have mattered a lot, but he makes them turn the matter into a big deal and therefore start fighting each other. One of the greatest greatest examples of this is the concept of nationalism, that one human looks down upon another human, or assumes something bad about him, just because of some imaginary border that some other human beings have created, and we can clearly see how much damage this has caused to our Muslim Ummah.
But how do we differentiate if the thought that came to my mind was a waswas from the Shaytan or it was from my own nafs? The scholars pointed out that if the thought made us shocked, that we feel a sense of surprise from this thought, then it is from the waswas of the Shaytan. And the best way to encounter against the waswas is to simply ignore those thoughts, and seek refuge in Allah, as Allah taught us in the Qur’an:
وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ نَزْغٌۭ فَٱسْتَعِذْ بِٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
And if you are tempted by Satan, then seek refuge with Allah. Indeed, He ˹alone˺ is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing. [41:36]
Since these waswas and evil thoughts can appear at any time, we need to be constantly prepared and protecting ourselves, and that’s why the Prophet ﷺ taught us to constantly recite the last 3 surahs of the Qur’an: Surah Al-Ikhlas, Surah Al-Falaq, and Surah Al-Nas, as well as the adhkar to protect ourselves.
And the third tactic that Shaytan uses is to give us false promises, just like how scammers fool people by showing you a shortcut that will make you millions, but in reality you’ll not only get nothing but ruin your whole life. You might then think how can the Shaytan make false promises? Allah says in the Qur’an:
يَعِدُهُمْ وَيُمَنِّيهِمْ ۖ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ إِلَّا غُرُورًا
Satan only makes them ˹false˺ promises and deludes them with ˹empty˺ hopes. Truly Satan promises them nothing but delusion. [4:120]
He makes these false promises by making you think: if I delay my Salah, I will complete my task more efficiently and therefore gain more money; if I give too much charity, it will make me poor. And the common thing about all these promises is that they all shift the focus away from thinking long term and forgetting about the Akhirah.
So only when we actually learn and study about the tactics of Shaytan, then we can be aware of what Shaytan wants us to do and expect from us, so that we do the exact opposite of what he wants. If we simply curse the Shaytan when we commit mistakes or we get shocked at something, that would only make his ego bigger. Instead of giving Shaytan the credits, we should be mentioning the name of Allah, as our Prophet ﷺ taught us, say “Bismillah” In the name of Allah, and that will make Shaytan shrink until he becomes as small as a fly. That is something we need to practice and get used to, when we suddenly hear a huge sound, or an accident, or an injury, instead of cursing and saying bad words, mention the name of Allah by saying Bismillah and remember Him.
May Allah make us among His sincere and chosen servants whom Shaytan has no power over. May Allah protect us and our families from the traps and whispers of Shaytan. May Allah unite our hearts and protect the Muslim Ummah.
