ثُمَّ لَآتِيَنَّهُم مِّن بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ وَعَنْ أَيْمَانِهِمْ وَعَن شَمَائِلِهِمْ ۖ
7:17 Here is a description of the network of seduction orchestrated by Iblîsîyyat in human nature. The assault of evil is from four sides, and takes advantage of every weak point in human character. Iblîs said, “I will come upon them from their front and from their backs and from their right and from their left”, but we have every reason to be grateful to our Lord that two sides, above and beneath, are still out of the reach of Iblîs. ImâmGhazâlî explains the meaning of the different sides and the ways to protect us against these 4 different attacks.
