Devil's strategy

When one feels tempted to do a forbidden act but knows he should not do it, the devil persuades him, " You are a human being not a machine. You also need to take some time out, relax and enjoy at the end of a hectic routine. Allah knows this and would forgive you. Have some fun and release the stress"

But when one plans to perform a duty ordered to us by Allah (s.w.t) like namaz and Quran recitation (which "truly" releases stress of mind, body and soul) , he presents a big list of "Things to do" in front of him. The home assignment, the urgent work boss asked you to do, mom gave you a list of the things you have to bring from the store, you haven't paid your bills and the final date is arriving, you had taken an appointment from the doctor, your car AC needs to be repaired........etc. and the list goes on....till one again decides to relax from those "duties" in life and release tension through forbidden acts....
