By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.
Read the noble hadith and its translation in .19 There are two hidden companions with every person, one among the jinns and the other among the angels.
Jinn = Satan = carnal soul (nafs-i ammarah)
Angel = intellect = spark of [Divine] light (nur ki chingari)
Act always according to the holy and luminous farman of the Imam of the time. Acquaint your heart with the love of Mawla through remembrance, worship, knowledge and wisdom and make every effort to become one who remembers constantly (da'imu'dh-dhikr). If the insinuations do not end and the angel is silent then alas a sin is still left! In such a case there is an extreme need for tazarru` and ardent supplication.
If it is possible to cast insinuation in the human heart, wahy, i.e., allusion of the Compassionate (Rahmani isharah = ilham) is also possible. However, prophetic revelation (wahy) is higher. It is a single capacity having three names, i.e., angel, intellect and spark of [Divine] light.
What are insinuations? It is the attack of wasps. To protect against them you should immerse yourself in the water of knowledge, wisdom, remembrance and worship so that every attack of these satanic wasps may fail. Amin! Amin!
