One who experiences the whispers of Iblees should seek refuge with Allah. To combat the threat of Iblees, believers must also be aware of his whispers, ignore them, and never act upon them. To sufficiently protect oneself from Shaitan, it is essential that we are aware of his sly tactics. He knows how to trick people and misguide them in a subtle way so that they unsuspectingly fall into his trap. Satan has assistants among mankind and jinn.

Satan is a stealthy operator who has long-term goals of leading people to Hell but knows how to go about it sneakily. He makes sins and evil acts appear attractive and pleasing so that he tempts man to commit them. Shaitan seeks to lead mankind astray and cause everyone to enter the Hellfire where he is also headed. In Surah Faatir, Allah clearly tells us that Shaitan is an enemy and we should treat him as such.Īllah commands mankind to believe in Him, worship Him alone, submit to Him, and obey Him. ![]() He wants believers to become polytheists. Satan’s ultimate aim is to make people commit sins, disobey Allah, and ultimately to go astray. Iblees seeks to lure people by making them focus solely on the worldly life so that they forget the straight path that Allah commands them to follow. Attachment to this world is something that can lead a believer to neglect his religious duties and indulge in acts that displease his Lord, weakening him in faith and piety. Iblees strives to make this world look appealing and enticing to mankind. We should never forget that Iblees is on a constant mission to lead us astray. Since humans have free will, it is up to us to beware of the deceit of Iblees and avoid giving in to evil desires. The story of how Iblees tricked Adam and Eve and incited them to commit a sin teaches us valuable lessons. Allah accepted their repentance, and they left Heaven and descended to earth. Iblees had deceived them and made them disobey their Creator. As they were overcome by the desires that Iblees had planted within them, they forgot Allah’s warning and decided to eat from the prohibited tree.Īfter they disobeyed Allah, their private parts became exposed, and they tried to cover themselves with leaves. Iblees’s cunning plan succeeded as Adam and Eve’s minds became focused on thoughts regarding the forbidden tree. In this manner, he built up evil desires within them to invite them towards sin. ![]() As Allah tells us in Surah Al-A’raf, Shaitan told Adam and Eve that Allah only restricted them from the tree to stop them from becoming angels or achieving immortality. He placed evil thoughts and desires in both of them. Shaitan targeted Adam and Eve with his evil whispers. He also didn’t tell them to disobey Allah in a straightforward manner. He didn’t explicitly tell them to go and eat from the tree. Iblees weaved his web of deceit to misguide them. There was only one prohibition that they had to adhere to, which was to stay away from a particular tree. Allah gave them the freedom to enjoy all the blessings of Paradise. How Shaitan made Adam and Eve disobey AllahĪdam and Eve were living in bliss in Paradise. He knows how to trick human beings in a cunning manner so that they succumb to his plots without even realizing it.

Shaitan is sly and deceptive, and he is well acquainted with the weaknesses of humans. He devoted his existence to leading humans astray. Iblees was rebellious and arrogant and deemed himself superior to mankind. He also considered himself to be superior to Adam (AS), which is why he did not prostrate.Īllah cursed Iblees until the Day of Reckoning. Shaitan’s arrogance made him disobey Allah. All the angels obeyed Allah, but Iblees refused to prostrate to Adam (AS). After creating Prophet Adam (AS), who was the first man, Allah commanded prostration to Adam (AS).
