If something leaves you powerless...???

"If something leaves you powerless and incapacitated, then repeat: 

‘Lā ḥawla wa lā quwata illā billāh’

(There is no might nor power except with Allāh), 

Allāh will make your matter easy."

Ibn al-ʿUthaimīn (رحمه الله),

  {Sharḥ Riyāḍ aṣ-Ṣāliḥīn 5/522}

The heart that is alive & contains a portion of faith, Shaytaan attacks it…

 By Sheikh Saalih al-Uthaymeen

Thoughts and whispers that contradict the religion do not frequent the dead heart, on account of its being lifeless and a destroyed organ. Shaytaan does not want more than with what he is charged. For that reason, it was said to Ibn Mas’ud (رضي اللّه عنـه) or Ibn Abbas (رضي اللّه عنـه) that the Jews say: “They do not get any whispers while they pray.” In other words uneasiness does not afflict them. He said: “They have spoken the truth and what can Shaytaan do with a heart that is already ruined.”
