The whispering of Satan.

The primary function of Satan.

It is to whisper falsehood into the hearts of people.

For he is the "whisperer who retreats."

“Who whispereth in the hearts of mankind,” (114:5)
0:25
Whether Satan is from the jinn,
0:28
Whose method of whispering to us we do not understand,
0:32
Even though we perceive the effects of their whispering in our worldly lives,
0:37
Or whether he is from mankind,
0:39
Who are the callers to evil,
0:41
Those who entice their companions to commit grave sins.
0:45
Allah the Exalted has informed us
0:47
That the devils are from both jinn and mankind,
0:51
Just as He, the Exalted, said:
0:53
"From among the jinn and mankind."
0:56
And He, the Exalted, said:
0:58
"And thus We have made for every prophet..."
1:00
“Thus have We appointed unto every prophet an adversary - devils of humankind and jinn who inspire in one another plausible discourse through guile. If thy Lord willed, they would not do so; so leave them alone with their devising;” (6:112)
1:04
“Thus have We appointed unto every prophet an adversary - devils of humankind and jinn who inspire in one another plausible discourse through guile. If thy Lord willed, they would not do so; so leave them alone with their devising;” (6:112)
1:06
"...deceptive speech in vain adornment."
1:09
The devil from among the jinn inspires and whispers
1:12
To his ally among mankind,
1:14
In order to lead people astray through him,
1:16
In addition to his own leading of them astray
1:18
By his own self and his direct whispering.
1:22
As He, the Exalted, said:
1:24
"And indeed, the devils..."
1:25
"...do inspire their allies..."
1:27
"...to dispute with you."
1:29
"And if you were to obey them,"
1:31
"Indeed, you would be polytheists."
