🏵️🏵️Lori, as a Muslim, I appreciate your interest in spiritual warfare. However, I disagree with your emphasis on fighting spiritual battles through human efforts. In Islam, we believe that our struggle is against the devil and his allies, but ultimately, we rely on the power of Allah (3:175).

The Quran teaches us that Allah is the one who grants victory and defeat (3:126-127). We are not called upon to fight in our own strength, but to trust in Allah's power and guidance (7:190).

Lori, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that Allah's help cannot be overcome, and Allah's help will come in the form of angels sent by Him (62:8). We must, therefore, rely on our faith and trust in Allah's providence, rather than our own military might or strategies.

In Islam, we understand that spiritual warfare is not about winning or losing, but about submitting to Allah's will and following His commands (3:20). We strive to become better Muslims by cultivating good character, practicing righteousness, and seeking forgiveness for our sins (31:4).

In conclusion, Lori, I believe that true spiritual warfare is about surrendering to Allah's power and guidance, rather than trying to fight in our own strength. As the Quran says, "Verily, with every difficulty there is ease" (94:5).

You may ask, what does it mean to truly surrender to Allah's power and guidance?

With warmth and understanding,
