Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Satan is an enemy to man, and he delights in causing him distress and hardship. His goal is to mislead man and harm him in his body and soul. He whispers to man that which harms him, even if the matter is not related to religion. Examples of his harm include: his attack on the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, showing man disturbing dreams, burning homes through animals, harming the newborn at birth, and assaulting man with possession.
