Summary of Sunni concepts
Satan's means to achieve his goals
Satan uses many methods to achieve his goals and plot against the children of Adam
Firstly, it is the embellishment of falsehood
He portrays falsehood in the image of truth
As he did with our father Adam, peace be upon him
Where he whispered to him to eat from the tree that he was forbidden from
And he said
Your Lord has not forbidden you from this tree
Unless you are two angels or one of the immortals
Satan swore to continue this path
And he said
O Lord, because You have led me astray, I will surely beautify them on earth
And I will seduce them all
Except Your sincere servants among them
This is an example
Adorning the call to earthly doctrines
Capitalism, communism, or socialism
It is the way to a safe and prosperous life
And from that too
Calling for nudity and obscenity
In the name of personal freedom and openness
And from that too
Distracting people and corrupting their morals
With low-key movies and series
In the name of art
And from that too
It adorns the worldly life and relies on it
And forgetting the afterlife
And other means of decoration
That never ends
Secondly
Excessive or excessive use of weapons
This depends on the condition of the servant
Like any of God's commands
If he finds it lukewarm, careless, and indulgent
Take it from the side of negligence
The commanded slave may even have left out a sentence
Even if he finds caution, concern, and determination in it
Take it from the side of excess
Until he falls into exaggeration
And exceeding the limit of what God commanded
And falling into innovation in the religion of God
Third
False promises and security
This is due to whispering to the children of Adam
With delusions of dominance or wealth
Or happiness in following falsehood
In fact, he is a liar and a deceiver
He promises them and wishes them
Satan promises them nothing but delusion
And the Almighty said
And when Satan made their deeds seem pleasing to them
And he said, “No man can defeat you today.”
And I am your neighbor
When the two groups saw each other
He turned on his heels
He said I am innocent of you
Fourth
Appearing as an advisor to people
God Almighty said
And I swear to them, “I am one of your advisers.”
So he pampered them arrogantly
Fifth
Gradual deception
It does not lead him to sin or disbelief directly
Because he knew he wouldn't do that
Rather, he follows a gradual policy
And go to it step by step
That is why God Almighty said, warning against it
And do not follow the steps of Satan
He is your clear enemy
Sixth
The servant postpones what is good and righteous
It is close to discouraging obedience and worship
But the servant comes out of forgetfulness
To discourage
God also told about the one who escaped from prison
From the companion of Joseph, peace be upon him
When he forgot what he commanded him
And he said to the one who thought it was coming from them, “Remember me before your Lord.”
Satan made him forget to remember his Lord
He stayed in prison for a few years
God Almighty also said about that
And when you see those who delve into Our verses
So turn away from them until they engage in someone else's conversation
Or Satan will make you forget
Do not sit after the remembrance with the unjust people
Seventh
Intimidating people from Satan’s guardians
God Almighty said
It is Satan who fears his friends
So do not fear them, but fear them if you are believers
Eighth
Casting suspicions
This is to shake one's faith
With the doubts and suspicions he casts
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Satan comes to one of you and says:
Who created such and such?
Who created such and such?
So he says
From the creation of your Lord
If he reaches it
Let him seek refuge in God and his kindness
Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim
And other of his cunning methods
Which one can transcend
With the strength of his faith and the help of his Lord
