The Purification of the Heart from the Whisperings of Shaytan

This is achieved by four things:
1. The first is to seek refuge with Allah from shaytan, and to reject the thought which occurs.
2. The second is to remember Allah with the heart and the tongue.
3. The third is to reflect on the proofs of the people of the sunna. These are not mentioned by the philosophers or the Mu`tazalites.
4. The fourth is to question one who knows the sunna.
