P. 26

For thousands of years now, satan has been working to
                 achieve his goal. He will continue his stealthy activities until the
                 Day of Judgment, when the life of this universe will come to an
                 end. Throughout human history, he has approached everyone,
                 without exception, to draw them into evil. He makes no distinc-
                 tion among those he misleads. He tries to draw people of every
                 age, status, culture and race into his way. He wants to bring ev-

                 eryone of different social groups, rich and poor, under his influ-
                 ence.
                     In order to understand the scope of satan’s activities and his
                 influence on human beings, we must realize that he understands
                 human beings very well; he knows our cultures, ideologies and
                 our points of view. He is particularly well acquainted with the de-
                 sires and weaknesses of humans. He is, therefore, able to plan and

                 set snares. He wants to bring everyone without exception, under
                 his influence—even those who live in the farthest corners of the
                 world.
                     But most people are unaware of the true extent of this dan-
                 ger. They live their lives without thinking that satan can prompt
                 them into doing evil and later, lead them to Hell. They do not re-
                 alize the influence that satan wields over them or what kind of
                 end he is drawing them to.
                     One of the major reasons for their nonchalance is that few

                 people know satan very well.
                     One of the most common errors people make about him is
                 assuming that satan is a power wholly independent of Allah and
                 that he is engaged in a struggle with Him. (Surely Allah is beyond
                 that!) This is also one of the satanists’ greatest errors: thinking that
