but those who have a satanic character are outside this rule.

We have already stated that the possessor of extreme perfection whose being is situated at the highest point of the line of creation is the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and in contrast with him the meanest being who is situated at the extreme lowest point is called Satan. The being of Satan is not apparent and felt, but observing this system of the line of creation, we have to confess that as at the highest point of exaltation is a being who is good personified who appeared in the world as a guide towards good, in contrast there should be at the extreme lowest point a being who incites towards evil and pulls towards it. For this reason in the heart of every person there is found internally the effect of both these beings. The holy effect of Muhammad, the chosen one (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) the 50 ‘Only those of His servants who possess knowledge fear Allah.’— Fatir, 35:29 [Publisher] pure being who is also called the Spirit of Truth and Light, calls every heart to goodness and virtue through holy emotions and inner attention. To the degree to which anyone develops love and relationship with him, he is bestowed the faculty of faith and light spreads in his heart so that he takes on his colour and acquires by way of reflection all those excellencies that belong to him. The influence of the being who incites towards evil, that is to say, Satan, whose station is the extreme lowest point, pulls everyone whose heart has any relationship with him, towards shirk. To the degree to which anyone establishes a relationship with him, to that degree his thinking turns to disbelief and wickedness so that when he acquires a complete resemblance to him he takes on his colour and becomes a complete Satan and acquires all the grades of wickedness which belong to Satan. In the same manner, the friends of Rahman and the friends of Satan are pulled in different directions according to their relationship.
