He will entangle you in his web with enjoyment, and he will tell you what he knows and you will follow him and will not be able to let go, as you will think that he is dear to you although he is Satan, the accursed. Then when you go near him and are contented with him he will then show you ways that lead to destruction from where salvation would be impossible. O Kumayl! He has a web which he sets up, so fear this so that you may not get entangled in it. O Kumayl! The world is full of his webs.

No one will be able to attain salvation from it except through us. O Kumayl! As you have been commanded, attain salvation from this through your love for us so that Satan will not become part of your wealth and children. O Kumayl! Do not be misled by those that prolong their prayers and keep fast all the time and give charity and are of the delusion that they have the correct understanding. O Kumayl!

I swear by Allah (s.w.t.) that I have heard from the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) that when Satan wants to lead people towards desires like intoxication, eating the flesh of swine and other sins, then he first leads them to excessive prayers and prostrations, then he gets them to fall for the Imamat of the false Imams who will call towards Hell on the day of judgement when nobody will be helped.

Why have the Commands of Allah (s.w.t.), the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) and the Imams (a.s.) been disregarded.

If we inquire into this then we will have to go back into history to the time of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.). Allah (s.w.t.)’s Commands were given out by the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) and obedience to him (s.a.w.) was made compulsory, without any if’s or but’s.

Then he (s.a.w.) explained the secrets of Tawheed (Divine Unity) and Wilayah (Mastership) of Ali (a.s.) again and again at the end announced this on the plains of Ghadeer because his (s.a.w.) complete Message was hanging on this particular matter. In other words the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) did two things. He gave out the exoteric commands that we have to follow and the esoteric command of Wilayah of Ali (a.s.).
