1.INTRODUCTION A sign of Allahs !od" Almighty mercy to#ards His creation lays in the fact that He send heavenly $oo%s, s&ch as the commandments received $y Prophet 'oses peace $e &pon him, The (o$le )&ran received $y Prophet 'ohammad peace $e &pon him. *n all of these $oo%s Allah !od" Almighty #arned people a$o&t their main enemy i.e. +atan". Ho#ever, d&e to the fact that the ma,ority of people deserted Allah !od" Almighty and His messages to people, the ma,ority of people do not %no# the first thing a$o&t their main enemy i.e. +atan" and the mechanisms $y #hich He affects them #ith. (o#adays, if yo& as% a person a$o&t +atan and ho# does He affect him- most pro$a$ly yo& #ill hear one of the follo#ing ans#ers. !n !theist" He #ill tell yo& that +atan does not e/ist. ! #hristian" 'ost 0hristians thin% that +atan is a mystical fig&re that e/ists $&t it does not affect people #hat so ever. ! Muslim" He $elieves that +atan e/ists, ho#ever, he does not %no# the mechanism $y #hich +atan affects him #ith. This ignorance regarding the mechanism $y #hich +atan affects people $y is very dangero&s and destr&ctive as it #ill $e sho#n in this article. *n addition it #ill $e sho#n in this paper #hy Allah !od" Almighty #arned people in every heavenly $oo% a$o&t +atan and His deception. 2.The Noble Qura Allah !od" Almighty thro&gho&t the ages sent revelations to g&ide people to the right path and to lift them thro&gh %no#ledge to a dignified stat&s. The c&lmination of these revelations is seen in the last revelation of Allah !od" Almighty to man%ind #hich is the (o$le )&ran. The (o$le )&ran is a ver$al revelation from the Almighty to people delivered $y His last and $eloved

messenger 'ohammad peace $e &pon Him. *n it Allah !od" Almighty states in clear details the mechanisms $y #hich +atan affects h&mans #ith. +&ch that people #ill not $e fooled $y +atan and $e saved from His destr&ctive infl&ence. The fact that the (o$le )&ran is a $oo% of %no#ledge and mercy to people is stated clearly in it in chapter 12 verse 34.

The translation of the abo$e $erse is" 34. And Allah !od" Almighty sends do#n from the )&ran that #hich is healing and mercy to those #ho $elieve, and it increases the #rong5doers nothing $&t loss.

*t is %no#n from the st&dy of the (o$le )&ran and the teachings of Prophet 'ohammad peace $e &pon him that every h&man has the follo#ing. 1. The (o)"e o& o e$el&* The voice yo& spea% #ith #hich is referred to as the voice of oneself. This voice has a characteristic fre6&ency that disting&ishes it from the voices of other people. And #hen a person thin%s 6&ietly he or she hears this voice in his or her head i.e. the same voice the person spea%s #ith". This is called the voice of oneself #hich is the voice yo& spea% and thin% #ith. 2. A "o'+a )o De()l* *t is also %no#n from *slamic teachings that a companion devil is assigned to each and every h&man at $irth. This devil strives to mislead and to ca&se pain to the person he is assigned to. The p&rpose of assigning s&ch a companion devil is a test from the creator to people, to see #hether &nder all these temptations a person #ill t&rn $ac% to his creator and follo# his commandments or not. Ho#ever, the manner $y #hich this companion devil affects the person he is assigned to is largely &n%no#n and this paper #ill Allah !od" #illing e/plain that in details.

Evidence from the +ayings of Prophet 'ohammad PBUH

A man came to Prophet 'ohammad PBUH" and said to him. : messenger of Allah * spea% to myself #ith ideas #hich are the last thing * #o&ld li%e to thin% to myself. The prophet PBUH" then said. Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest, all praise to Allah #ho limited the effect of +atan to the act of #hispering

Prophet 'ohammad PBUH" ans#er to him proves #ith no shado# of a do&$t that He is a tr&e messenger of Allah !od" Almighty, s&ch that Prophet 'ohammad PBUH" ans#ered him saying that all praise to Allah !od" Almighty that He limited the affect of +atan on people to the act of #hispering.

bra) b. /h)$+er) 4 The second manner $y #hich +atan affects h&mans #ith stems from the act of generating emotions $y #hispering as stated in the (o$le )&ran 11?.8", #here Allah !od" Almighty tells &s that +atan can generate a feeling in the h&man $ody s&ch that the feeling is e/actly #hat yo& are s&pposed to feel #hen +atan #hispers His ideas in yo&r head. >or e/ample #hen +atan #hispers the idea that yo& sho&ld commit ad&ltery #ith this #omen- +atan at the same time generates a feeling of happiness in yo&r $ody to tric% yo& in $elieving that yo& are doing something la#f&l and at the same time yo&r companion devil #hispers an idea in yo&r head telling yo& that if it feels so good ho# can it $e #rong9".

Miracles of Knowledge found in the Noble Quran and The Teachings of Prophet Mohammad peace be upon him

The 6&estion no# arises as to ho# +atan can generate these feelings in the h&man $ody. The ans#er is stated in the same verse in the (o$le )&ran #here Allah !od" Almighty tells &s that +atan generates these feelings $y stim&lating certain ne&ral nodes in the h&man $rain. These nodes are stim&lated #hen +atan #hispers His ideas of Harm, =&st, and Blasphemy to yo&, s&ch that #hen the vi$rations generated from +atans voice passes thro&gh the ne&ral nodes in the h&man $rain #hich are responsi$le for generating vario&s feelings in the h&man $ody it ca&ses these nodes to $e stim&lated there$y generating chemicals #hich go thro&gh the $ody #hich in t&rn generate feelings that match the content of the ideas #hispered $y +atan. These nodes can $e fo&nd in the h&man $rain, #here the $rain contains gro&pings of ne&rons #hich form #hat are called ne&ral nodes. These ne&ral nodes #hen stim&lated can prod&ce feelings of happiness, sadness, thrill, etc. Th&s the second #ay +atan attac%s h&man $y is $y stim&lating ne&ral nodes in the h&man $rain to prod&ce feelings that reinforce the ideas He ,&st #hispered to people. *t is #orth disc&ssing f&rther the reason #hy +atan generates these feelings $y stim&lating ne&ral nodes in the h&man $rain. Allah !od" Almighty states in the (o$le )&ran that +atan tries to ma%e yo& $elieve His lies. Th&s if +atan only #hispered these ideas in yo&r head they #ill not carry the same #eight compared to the case #hen yo& hear these ideas and at the same time yo& feel feelings in yo&r $ody that reinforce them. This is a #ay of +atan to ma%e yo& see a #rong deed as a good one and a good deed as a #rong one. This is e/plained f&rther in the follo#ing diagram.
+atan deception to let yo& see a $ad deed as a good one and a good deed as a $ad one

same time +atan prod&ces a feeling in yo&r $ody $y stim&lating ne&ral nodes in the h&man $rain to prod&ce a feeling of happiness and thrill. Ahen yo& have these feelings +atan #hispers to yo& that since yo& feel this happy, th&s the action yo& are going to do m&st $e right. 4. D)$;e "oura4) 4 be"o') 4 a -u$l)'* Ahen a person starts to ponder a$o&t *slam and The (o$le )&ran, +atan comes to that person #ith ideas in his or her head li%e. 5 =oo% at '&slims ho# $ar$aric they are and that they do this and that. 5 The (o$le )&ran enco&rages polygamy, ho# &nciviliBed. *f yo& thin% a$o&t these ideas yo& realiBe that they are all oriented to drive yo& a#ay from The (o$le )&ran and the g&idance of Allah !od" Almighty. This highlights the point that +atan is an open enemy to yo& and He does not #ant yo& to see the tr&th and the mercy of Allah !od" Almighty contained in the (o$le )&ran. <.Sa#a e&&e"# ) %rea'$ The third #ay +atan affects yo& $y is stated in The (o$le )&ran and in the teachings of Prophet 'ohammad PBUH". Ahere Prophet 'ohammad PBUH" states that if yo& see a $ad dream i.e. a dream #here yo& see horrifying scenes, yo& feel ang&ish and pain, commit perverted se/&al acts, etc." This dream is from +atan and yo& sho&ld not tell others a$o&t #hat yo& sa# in it.

Prophet 'ohammad PBUH" said that #hoever sa# me in his dream then he indeed sa# me. +ince +atan cant ta%e my image in dreams.

!he faith of these people is tested by these ideas and whispers

The first 6&estion #hich arises from the a$ove disc&ssion is the follo#ing- ho# can +atan generate a $ad dream9 The ans#er to this 6&estion is that +atan can ta%e the form of the people yo& %no# li%e yo&r mother, sister, and father and then He tries to ma%e yo& thin% in yo&r dream that yo& did something perverted.

The second 6&estion is #hy did Prophet 'ohammad PBUH" instr&ct &s not to tell others a$o&t #hat yo& hear and see in a dream from +atan9 The ans#er to this 6&estion sho#s the #isdom of Prophet 'ohammad PBUH". The reason yo& sho&ld not tell others a$o&t #hat yo& see and hear in a dream from +atan is that it contains misg&idance and lies that if shared #ith others might ca&se conf&sion and misg&idance to the people yo& shared it #ith.
