He said, 'Do you see what has happened? When we went to find
shelter at the rock, I forgot the fish. No one made me forget to
remember it except satan. It found its way into the sea in an
amazing way.' (Qur'an, 18:63)
He said to the one of them he knew was saved, 'Please mention me
when you are with your lord,' but satan made him forget to remind
his lord, and so he stayed in prison for several years. (Qur'an,
12:42)

HE TRIES TO PREVENT PEOPLE
FROM REMEMBERING ALLAH
AND WORSHIPPING HIM
Satan wants to stir up enmity and hatred between you by means
of wine and gambling, and to debar you from remembrance of
Allah and from prayer. Will you not then give them up? (Qur'an,
5:91)
Satan has gained mastery over them and made them forget the
remembrance of Allah. Such people are the party of satan. No
indeed! It is the party of satan who are the losers. (Qur'an, 58:19)
He led me astray from the Reminder after it came to me. Satan
always leaves man in the lurch. (Qur'an, 25:29)

HE DISTRACTS PEOPLE WITH FALSE HOPES
Those who have turned back in their tracks after the guidance
became clear to them, it was satan who talked them into it and
filled them with false hopes. (Qur'an, 47:25)

HE SEEKS TO STIR UP HATRED
AND ENMITY AMONG PEOPLE
Satan wants to stir up enmity and hatred between you by means
of wine and gambling, and to debar you from remembrance of
Allah and from prayer. Will you not then give them up? (Qur'an,
5:91)
