power to do anything unless Allah wills it. In the Qur'an,
Allah commands us to say this prayer in order to take refuge
with Him from satan:
Say: "I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind, the King of
mankind, the God of mankind, from the evil of the insidious
whisperer who whispers in people's breasts and comes from
the jinn and from mankind." (Surat an-Nas: 1-6)
A person who possesses the qualities taught in the Qur'an
will always take refuge with Allah from satan and will know the
difference between the insinuations of satan that pass through his
mind, as if his own thoughts, and thoughts which conform to the
Qur'an. He will be alert at every moment and pay no attention to
what satan says. He will not let satan interfere in anything he
thinks or does. For example, whether busy with his work, or alone
by himself, or speaking with someone, when something happens
to him or when some difficulty occurs, he always acts with the
awareness that satan is waiting in ambush tempting him to speak
and act in a way not pleasing to Allah. In this and every situation
he will speak and act in a way that conforms to the Qur'an. In this
way believer will not fall under the influence of the wiles of satan.
Our Lord tells us about this in the Qur'an:
He (satan) has no authority over those who believe and put
their trust in their Lord. He only has authority over those who
take him as a friend and associate others with Allah. (Surat
an-Nahl: 99-100)
