Al-Fawaid (A Collection Of Wise Sayings) - by Imam Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyah [PDF] [Book]
This book, AI-Fawaid: A Collection of Wise Sayings is one of the well-known compilations of Imam Shams Ad-Dm Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah, who is well known by the name Ibn Al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him). This blessed book is not like others that simply contain sections, chapters and themes, but it consists of the elevated thoughts that Allah, Exalted be He, bestows upon some of His servants as He wills. So whenever any of these scattered pearls of wisdom occurred to the Imam, he would immediately record them. I am sure that he did not sit down and write this book in one or two weeks, but surely it was developed over a long period of time. Whenever something came to his mind, he would record it, and whenever he learnt a lesson or anything crucial in his life, he would illuminate the lines of his page with the ink of his pen.

Indeed the enmity between man and Shaytaan is old, commencing from the time that Adam (alayhi as-salaam) was created,  from the time he was ordered to prostrate to him. Shaytaan refused, become arrogant and hence disobeyed his Lord.

'...And whoever takes Shaitân (Satan) as an Ally  instead of Allâh, has certainly sustained a clear loss' Qur'an: An-Nisa 4:119

 'No doubt! Verily, the Auliyâ' of Allâh no fear shall come upon them nor shall they grieve , Those who believed , and used to fear Allâh much .For them are glad tidings, in the life of the present world , and in the Hereafter. No change can there be in the Words of Allâh, this is indeed the supreme success' . Noble Qur'an: Yunus 62-64
