Isti`adhah means, "I seek refuge with Allah from the cursed Satan so
that he is prevented from affecting my religious or worldly affairs,
or hindering me from adhering to what I was commanded, or luring me
into what I was prohibited from.'' Indeed, only Allah is able to
prevent the evil of Satan from touching the son of Adam. This iswhy
Allah allowed us to be lenient and kind with the human devil, so that
his soft nature might cause him to refrain from the evil he is
indulging in. However, Allah required us to seek refuge with Him from
the evil of Satan, because he neither accepts bribes nor does kindness
affect him, for he is pure evil. Thus, only He Who created Satan is
able to stop his evil. This meaning is reiterated in only three Ayat
in the Qur'an. Allah said in Surat Al-A`raf,
(Show forgiveness, enjoin what isgood, and turn away from the foolish
(i.e. don't punish them).) (7:199)
This is about dealing with humanbeings. He then said in the same Surah,
(And if an evil whisper comes to you from Shaytan, then seek refuge
with Allah. Verily, He is Hearing, Knowing (7: 200).)
Allah also said in Surat Al-Mu'minun,
(Repel evil with that which is better. We are Best-Acquainted with the
things they utter. And say: "My Lord! I seek refuge with You from the
whisperings (suggestions) of the Shayatin (devils). And I seek refuge
with You, My Lord! lest they should come near me.'' (23:96-98).)
Further, Allah said in Surat As-Sajdah,
(The good deed and the evil deedcannot be equal. Repel (the evil) with
one which is better, then verily he, between whom and you there was
enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend. But none is
granted it (the above quality) except those who are patient ـ and
noneis granted it except the owner of the great portion (of happiness
in the Hereafter, i.e. Paradise and of a high moral character) in this
world. And if an evil whisper from Shaytan tries to turn you away
(from doing good), then seek refuge in Allah. Verily, He is the
Hearing, the Knowing) (41:34-36).

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
