Shaytan: Our Clear and Constant Enemy

Shaytan is not just some distant figure in stories—he’s our real and clear enemy. From the very start, he refused to obey Allah and made a promise that he would spend his life trying to mislead us. 

The Qur’an reminds us: 

 إِنَّ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنَ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ فَٱتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُوًّا ۚ إِنَّمَا يَدْعُوا۟ حِزْبَهُۥ لِيَكُونُوا۟ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ  

“Indeed, Satan is an enemy to you; so take him as an enemy. He only invites his party to be among the companions of the Blaze.” (Quran 36:6) 

This means we cannot treat him lightly or ignore his whispers. Shaytan’s tactics are subtle—he beautifies sin, plants doubts, and pushes us toward pride and ingratitude—just as he did when he refused to bow to Adam. 

If we remember that he’s always trying to pull us off the right path, we’ll stay more alert, turn back to Allah for help, try harder to make better choices every day, and remain steadfast in obedience, because the real battle is not outward but within our own hearts and choices.
