you as much as needed." This shows that everyoneand everything in
this world is linked to God. This also shows that our world is not the
only existing world and that we are leaving in the lowest world of
all.
God has said that man could have all the worlds in hands. This proves
thatno creature from anotherworld could control man,unless it
establishes a reasonable relationship with him.
No matter how strong Satan is, man is stronger. Satan could only
deceive man by temptation. Satan is not a simple creature as we
imagine; it has different ways to deceive human man beings. But it
should be mentioned that Satan could only give one an idea. Man
himself extends that idea in such a way that it even amazes Satan.
We think that Satan is a simple being, but according to traditions,
whenever Satan faces a problem in deceiving man, he summons all
satans, infidels and jinns and tests different ways to deceive human
beings.
We may not be having a clear picture of the tricks of Satan, while the
late Ayatollah Bahjat used to say: human beings must be very careful
as if they have entered a field where bullets are shot at him from six
sides. Human beings can overcome Satanic forces by relying on their
divinenature and divine traditions whose objective is guidance of
human beings.
Another point is that as man is above all the other creatures, his
being controlled by Satan can only happen athis own will. Therefore,
in order to stop Satan, one should try to be more sensitive towards
what is right and what is wrong and to make his will stronger.
There are two sides to the primordial nature of man; one is to gain
perfection with love and affection towards sublime beings, and the
other one is passion for perfection by detesting imperfection or
imperfect beings, like Satan. Hating Satan helpsone move towards
perfection faster.
Satan can appear in different forms. In regards to the prophets, Satan
could never deceive them by temptation, and the only way he could
confront the prophets is to appearin a worldly form.
Some people believe thatSatan cannot incarnate into a human form, but
there are verses that reject this belief, like,"Remember Satan made
their (sinful) acts seem alluring to them, and said: No one among men
can overcome you this day, while I am near to you: But when the two
forces came in sight of each other, he turned on his heels, and said:
Lo! I am clear of you; lo! I see what ye see not; Lo! I fear Allah.
for Allah is strict in punishment." (Al-Anfal: 48)
Some believe that peoplecannot see Satan as God says in the Qur'an, "O
ye Children of Adam! Let notSatan seduce you, in the same manner as He
got your parents out of the Garden, stripping them of their raiment,
to expose their shame: for he and his tribe watch you from a position
where ye cannot see them: We made the evil ones friends (only) to
those without faith." (Al-A'raf: 27)
Maybe this just means that Satan cannot be seen by man in its real
form, but it is visible to man if it incarnates in a human (or another
worldly) form. Satan can turn into many different forms, but he can
never turn into the form of Prophet Muhammad or other prophets.
According to Prophet Muhammad, "Whoever sees me in a dream is actually
seeing me; because Satan could never turn into me."
