Nablusî (may Allah have mercy on him) said: 'If someone sees himself as having become the devil in a dream, that person is always in the hands of the devil, or he turns away from his religion, or he lives far from the mercy of Allah Almighty, dying from sorrow and grief. Or he is provided with offspring and wealth. He overcomes his enemies through cunning and deceit. In his time, he commands evil and prevents people from good.'

I am fighting with Satan.

Reading

As long as you do not follow your nafs, as long as you look at your work and your strength, as long as you take refuge in supplication and prayer, and as long as you go on the right road, Satan cannot defeat you. Receiving the return of your supplications, those who are jealous giving up, and your not giving up. If you are married do not fear if there is a separation distress or a problem at the workplace. Between the Feast of Sacrifice and the Ramadan Feast a supplication of yours will be accepted.
