“Shaytân (Satan) said, ‘By Your Might, O Lord! I will go on luring Your servants as long as their souls are sill in their bodies.’ The Lord said, ‘By My Might and Majesty! I will keep forgiving them, as long as they keep invoking Me for forgiveness.’” [Musnad Ahmad 3: 29].
Al-Falaq, 113: 1-5: Say, ‘I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak; From the evil of that which He created;
And from the evil of darkness when it settles; And from the evil of the blowers in knots;
And from the evil of an envier when he envies.’
An-Nas, 114: 1-6: Say, ‘I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind; The Sovereign of mankind. The God of mankind;
From the evil of the retreating whisperer – Who whispers [evil] into the breasts of mankind – From among the jinn and mankind.’
The devil is unseen to us, he sees us but we cannot see him. He whispers in our ears and insinuates evil (thoughts, doubts, fears, suggestions..). And the question persists, who is the devil? Allah, all praise and glory is to Him, out of mercifulness to our minds told us who the devil is, and the story of his enmity against mankind and how can we
confront him and defeat him and defeat all the seen and the unseen powers in the entire universe.
Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, orders us to seek refuge with Him from the devil because Allah, Whose Majesty reigns supreme, is The Omnipotent, highly above all His creatures, whether believers or disbelievers, obedient or
disobedient, those given free choice or those without power of free choice. All are subjected to Almighty Allah as nothing in the Universe of Allah is beyond His Will, Word or Command. Allah, all praise and glory is to Him, says (what means): “And He is the subjugator over His servants. And He is the Wise, the Acquainted [with all].” (Al-An‘âm, 6: 18).
