The 'Arabs at the time of Ignorance used to bury their new-born daughters alive and in doing this, they thought that they were actually helping their wife! In reality, Shaitan had actually made their wicked deeds seem beautiful and fair-seeming to them!

The forty-first characteristic of a true believer is that his misguidedness is very little.
