SATANISM (PART 2 OF 2): DEALING WITH THE
DEVIL
In 2004 the Justice Minister of Cyprus warned of
the dangers of occultism and neo Satanism in
European society. In 2010 six Russian Satanists
were jailed for ritual sacrifice when they were
found guilty of dismembering and eating several
teenage victims. Examples of evil and predatory behaviour abound, yet the majority of humankind,
particularly in the West, are prone to dismiss the
role Satan plays in these scenarios. The Satanic Bible written and edited by Anton
LaVey is a collection of essays, observations, and
rituals. It contains the core principles of the religion
of Satanism, and is considered the foundation of its
philosophy and dogma. The Nine Satanic
statements are little more than excuses for immoral hedonistic behaviour. For example, “Satan
represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead
to physical, mental, or emotional gratification.” A
believer would easily see the deception in such
statements. However those who are not aware of
God’s love for humankind might be tempted to follow their perverse guidelines. Since the dawn of
time God has sent prophets and messengers to
reveal His love and show the right way that benefits
humankind, however, humankind is prone to fall
victim to his own desires and whims. Satan is well
aware of this and books such as Anton LaVey’s Satanic Bible are welcomed by him. As we know, these modern Satanists bear little
resemblance to the myths created by the Catholic
Church, however by following the nine satanic
statements, or gathering in groups to affirm
admiration for Satan and all he stands for, men and
women are leaving themselves open to being completely overcome or over taken by Satan
himself. The satanic dabblers mentioned in the
previous article are also putting themselves into a
precarious position. Satan (the devil, Lucifer etc) is a jinn, a creature from
the unseen. He is full of despair because he has
been denied God’s Mercy and has therefore vowed
not to inhabit the depths of Hell alone; his wish is to
take as many human beings with him as he can.
God warns us against the enmity of Satan throughout the Quran. Satan is able to deceive,
misguide and trick people and is able to make sin
look like a gateway to Paradise. Unless a person is
careful he or she can be easily mislead and therein
lays the danger of groups, cults or religions that
attach themselves to Satan or Satanism. The people who take Satan as a friend or supporter
will soon learn that he will betray them and lead
them to destruction. Next he leaves them
altogether; he forsakes them and rejoices in their
misfortune. He encourages them to abandon their
morals and values, and even encourages crimes such as murder, stealing and pe******ia. People
who experiment with satanic worship are
particularly vulnerable to his wicked ways; Satan
will lead them to the most awful places, physically
and emotionally, and then abandon them. We have discovered that Satanism exists in many
forms. The most well-known is the Church of Satan,
there are also other splinter groups that engage in
some degree of Satanic worship. Believing in or
practicing fortune-telling, communicating with the
'dead' and other such practices are the tools of Satan and he delights in their use. They are Satan’s
clever recruiting tools, designed to lead many into
actual Satan worship. Satanic worship is usually
labeled very deceptively or even glamorized in
block-buster Hollywood movies; one may not
realize at times that a certain ritual is indeed a Satanic one!. One should be particularly careful of
things that are labelled as “getting back to nature”
or as “fun”. It might seem like fun to read your
horoscope or play with a Ouija Board, but it is also
opening a door to the devil, inviting him into our
hearts and minds and allowing him to wreak havoc there. Satanism is really a war, and for the most part Satan
is winning because we, the modern people of the
21st century, have all but ceased to believe in his
existence, even to the extent of using his name to
gain publicity and notoriety. Strangely many of
these people take Satan as their supporter or friend. They both knowingly and unknowingly
follow in his footsteps and accept his ideas even
though he is their primary enemy who wants
nothing less than to destroy them completely in
both this life and the next. How irrational it is to
take one's fiercest enemy as one's friend. Many of these people are criminally insane or down right
evil, others are merely gullible and uneducated
without the weapons to defend themselves. God however has not left us defenseless in this war.
He has provided us with much needed information
about our greatest enemy. If we read and
understand God’s warnings we would easily see
Satanism as a deceitful trick perpetrated by Satan
himself and human beings with little or no sense. From the Quran and the authentic traditions of
Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings
of God be upon him, we are able to gain the much
needed information about Satan’s motives and
methods. God has given us this means to protect
ourselves, and with it the weapons to resist and fight this ceaseless war waged by Satan and his
cohorts. More information can be found in the

Alone?
