Page 36 - The Light of the Qur'an has Destroyed Satanism

Again, Allah tells us the end of an individual who responds to
satan’s call:
Among people there is one who argues about Allah without
knowledge, and follows every rebellious satan. It is written of
him that if anyone takes him [satan] as a friend, he will mis-
lead him and guide him to the punishment of the Searing
Blaze. (Surat al-Hajj, 3-4)
So far, we have seen the various methods that satan uses to de-

ceive human beings and alienate them from the revelation of Allah.
But one should never forget that Allah created satan and all his var-
ious wiles. Allah created satan and his cunning wiles as part of a
mechanism by which He determines those who were faithful, and
tests and trains them in this Earthly life. Allah has commissioned sa-
tan to use the test of this Earthly life to try to divert people from the
true path. These commands are mentioned in Surat al-Isra’ as fol-

lows:
[Allah said,] “Stir up any of them you can with your voice and
rally against them your cavalry and your infantry and share
with them in their children and their wealth and make them
promises! The promise of satan is nothing but delusion.”
(Surat al-Isra’, 64)
In a later verse, Allah tells satan:
“But as for My servants, you will not have any authority over
them.” Your Lord suffices as a guardian. (Surat al-Isra’, 65)

Notice that satan has no influence over people with faith. It is
mentioned which kind of people satan may affect:
If someone shuts his eyes to the remembrance of the All-
Merciful, We assign him a satan who becomes his bosom
friend—they debar them from the path, yet they still think
they are guided. (Surat az-Zukhruf, 36-37)
