Surah Al-A'raf (7:17)

ثُمَّ لَاَتِيَنَّهُمۡ مِّنۡۢ بَيۡنِ اَيۡدِيۡهِمۡ وَمِنۡ خَلۡفِهِمۡ وَعَنۡ اَيۡمَانِهِمۡ وَعَنۡ شَمَآٮِٕلِهِمۡؕ وَلَاٰ تَجِدُ اَكۡثَرَهُمۡ شٰكِرِيۡنَ‏ ۝

Thumma laatiyannahum min bayniaydeehim wamin khalfihim waAAan aymanihim waAAan shama-ilihimwala tajidu aktharahum shakireen

Then I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful to You."

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Limits of Deception: Satan has no power over the sincere servants.

The Insight

Iblis vowed to mislead all mankind except for God's sincere and chosen servants. **Cultivate sincere devotion.** Sincerity (*Ikhlas*) is the ultimate protection. Dedicate your actions purely to God, as this is the only shield against Satan's influence.
