Combating the Whisperings of Shaytaan

Combating the Whisperings of Shaytaan
Shaykh Yunus Patel (Raheemahulla)

“And say : My Lord! I seek refuge with You from the whisperings (suggestions) of the Shayateen. And I seek refuge with You, my Lord, lest they may attend (or come near) me.” ( Surah Al-Mu`minoon 23 : 97/98 )

In the scheme of creation, Allah Ta’ala created the earth as the battlefield between Hazrat Adam (‘Alaihis Salaam), his children, and Shaytaan and his progeny.

The intense hatred and inbred enmity of Shaytaan for us, the progeny of Hazrat Adam (‘Alaihis Salaam), stems from him having been rejected and cursed by Allah Ta’ala for defying and challenging Allah Ta’ala and refusing to make sajda to Sayyedena Adam (‘Alaihis Salaam). In the course of Shaytaan’s deadly and ruthless revenge, a relentless battle between these two forces ensues till Qiyaamah.
