Exposing Shaytan (Satan): Tricks, Deceit
and Means used by Shaytan in misguiding the children of Adam and Ways of
protecting ourselves and our Homes from the accursed.
In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful
“Surely,
Shaitân (Satan) is an enemy to you, so take (treat) him as an enemy. He
only invites his Hizb (followers) that they may become the dwellers of
the blazing Fire. ”[Soorah al-Fatir (35): 6]
It is due to the seriousness of Shaytan’s
fitnah (temptation, tribulation, trial) that Allah has distinctly
exposed his goals and plots in the Qur’aan. The Prophet repeatedly
warned against Shaytan’s power to tempt mankind into disobeying Allah.
He would relentlessly reveal Shaytan’s trickery and deceit and inform
about ways of defense against the accursed.
So, what are the deceptions, tricks and
strategies of Shaytan? How does Shaytan enter the human soul and drive
it towards sin and transgression? How does he corrupt people’s hearts
and souls by making false promises and arousing high hopes? Does Shaytan
posses the power to force us into committing sins? To what extent will
Shaytan succeed in achieving his goal? Can we defeat Shaytan?
This booklet will Insha’Allah,
comprehensively answer these baffling questions and dispel many doubts
on the subject like why Allah created Shaytan and why Shaytan was
granted his request to remain alive until the Day of Judgement.
This booklet will also elaborate upon
Aqeedah points that are learnt from the disgraceful story of Shaytan’s
failure and from the grievous stories of those who fell into his traps
from the nations past.
The last part of this booklet focuses on
the means prescribed in the Qur’aan and the Sunnah to dispel Shaytan and
protect ourselves and our homes from him.
A number of original Arabic works were
referred to in the compilation of this booklet, most importantly;
Shaytan: Khutuwatihi wa-Gayatihi by Wail Umar Ali Basheer, Adawatush-
Shaytan lil-Insan, Alam al-Jinn, Tafseer al-Kabeer by Abdul-Aziz ibn
Abdullah al-Rajhi, Aqeedah at-Tawheed by Shaikh Salih al- Fawzan,
Tafseer Ibn Katheer and others.
I hope this booklet will serve as a handy weapon in combating Shaytan and all success lies with Allah.
