sneaking whisperer

yara

Dear all,
I wonder what others may think of this.
Chapter 1144-5"From the evil of the sneaking whisperer,?
?Who whispers into the chests of the people.

Is God referring to the sneaking whisperer as

voice in your head advising you to do the wrong thing because it is easier to do
and/or to people who lead you astray intentionally or unintentionally?

Thanks

Wakas

Could be both.

Here is my own translation with note

Chapter 114
Say I seek refuge with the Lord/Sustainer/Provider of people.
The Ruler/Owner/King of people,
The God of people,
From the harm/evil of the withdrawing whisperer/tempter,
Who whispers/ places temptations into the hearts of people,
From within* and (from) the people.

Notes
please see 5016 in which it says our own soul whispers/tuwaswisu to us.
*literally "from the jinn/hidden".
the first 3 verses discuss the protector, and last 3 verses discuss protection from what. The Quran ends on this balance, and in my view, showing us the two ways, then leaves the greatest battle to us the battle within.

Typically known as "it wasn't me" realization, and what you did, was not good.. I think promiscuous and gay people experience this quite a bit. Gay people who claim to be female, are people who don't stop I guess, and eventually get posessed by an evil female spirit. It seems closely related to satan. And the words of satan, and his enemity towards humans, will be visible in them.
