So God will not leave us alone in the face of our main enemy, namely Satan.<\/div>\n<div class=\"body ah_body\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Temptation and deception are the means used by Satan to lead mankind astray. According to the Quran, Satan\u2019s enmity with mankind began when man was created. \u201cBelievers, submit yourselves to the will of God as a whole. Do not follow the footsteps of Satan; he is your sworn enemy.\u201d (Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 208)<\/p>\n<p>While Satan has no dominance over man, he can lead him astray through means like temptation, deception, etc. But is man fully defenseless in the face of Satan?<\/p>\n<p>The Holy Quran, after introducing Satan and ways he uses to infiltrate man\u2019s heart, offers ways to counter the threat of Satan.<\/p>\n<p>The first step in order to confront Satan and purify one\u2019s soul from impurities caused by Satan\u2019s temptations is Tawbah (repentance). The first wrong step taken by man was rectified by Tawbah: \u201cThen Adam received Words from his Lord, and his Lord relented towards him. He is the Receiver of Repentance, the Merciful.\u201d (Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 37)<\/p>\n<p>The importance of Tawbah is such that if one succeeds in making repentance and does good deeds afterward, God will not only forgive his sin but also turn his bad deeds into good ones: \u201cBut only those who repent and believe and act righteously will have their sins replaced by virtue; God is All-forgiving and All-merciful.\u201d (Surah AL-Furqan, verse 70)<\/p>\n<p>Another step is wholeheartedly remembering God. This is a need of the soul and foils Satan\u2019s attempts at tempting man. \u201cO you who believe! remember Allah, remembering frequently.\u201d (Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 41)<\/p>\n<p>Seeking refuge with Allah from Satan, having Taqwa (God-fearing), staying away from sin, and Tawakkul (putting one\u2019s trust in God) are other ways to defeat Satan and avoid going astray. \u201cSatan has certainly no authority over the believers who have trust in their Lord.\u201d (Surah An-Nahl, verse 99)<\/p>\n<p>source:<a href=\"https:\/\/iqna.ir\/en\/news\/3479402\/how-to-disarm-satan\">iqna<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We know God as being the Most Compassionate and the Most Merciful.
