I do not say that <em>Alif-Lam-Mim<\/em> is one letter, but <em>Alif <\/em>is a letter, Lam is a letter and <em>Mim<\/em> is a letter.&#8221; (At-Tirmidhi)<\/p>\n<p>After that, Dr. Muhammad explains the plots of <em>Shaytan<\/em> (Satan) in order to gain control over the hearts of the believers and mislead them.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy watching this interesting talk with Dr. Muhammad Salah to know how to get rid of the tricks and whispers of Satan.<\/p>\n<p>_______________________<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Iqra Youtube Channel. \u00a0<\/em><strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><a href='https:\/\/www.learning-quran.com\/concentration-when-reciting-the-quran\/' target='_blank'>Soucre Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How could you get rid of the Satan\u2019s whispers?
