30. Beware of Shaitan's Assault & seek Allah's Protection

Surah No. 7, Al Aaraaf, Ayats No. 14 to 17

o قَالَ إِنَّكَ مِنَ المُنظَرِينَ o قَالَ فَأَنظِرْنِي إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

ثُمَّ لآتِيَنَّهُم مِّن بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ o قَالَ فَبِمَا أَغْوَيْتَنِي لأَقْعُدَنَّ لَهُمْ صِرَاطَكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ

o وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ وَعَنْ أَيْمَانِهِمْ وَعَن شَمَآئِلِهِمْ وَلاَ تَجِدُ أَكْثَرَهُمْ شَاكِرِينَ

Translation :

He (Shaitan) said: "Give me respite till the day they are raised up." (Allah) Said: "Be you amongst those who have respite." He(Shaitan) said: "Because you have thrown me out of the Way, I will sit in wait for them on Your straight Way. "Then I will assault them from their front and from behind, from their right and from their left: Then You will not find most of them, thankful to You.

Soorah No. 24, al Noor, Ayt No. 21

يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا تَتَّبِعُوۡا خُطُوٰتِ الشَّيۡطٰنِ‌ ؕ وَمَنۡ يَّتَّبِعۡ خُطُوٰتِ

الشَّيۡطٰنِ فَاِنَّهٗ يَاۡمُرُ بِالۡـفَحۡشَآءِ وَالۡمُنۡكَرِ‌ ؕ وَلَوۡلَا فَضۡلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ

وَرَحۡمَتُهٗ مَا زَكٰى مِنۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ اَحَدٍ اَبَدًا وَّلٰـكِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُزَكِّىۡ مَنۡ يَّشَآءُ‌ ؕ

وَاللّٰهُ سَمِيۡعٌ عَلِيۡمٌ‏

Translation :

O believers! Do not follow the foot steps of shaitan, then shaitan will take away only to indecency and evil things. And had there not been Allah’s grace upon you and His Mercy, not one of you could have been cleansed (from sins), but Allah purifies whomsoever He pleases. And Allah is All- Hearer, All- Knower
