Question: Through what avenues does the Shaytaan find a way to make
suggestions to man?
Answer: There are many avenue:
He might try to incite someone to fornicate, for example. He first
incites his victim to be alone with women, then to look at them, then to talk
to them, then perhaps to listen to them sing, and so on until he achieves his
end: when his victim fornicates.
Shaytaan may attack a person through his stomach, by tempting him
into eating what is unlawful, into drinking alcohol, or even into taking drugs.
Shaytaan may find that a person has an inordinate love for owning
things, so he beguiles him into gaining wealth through unlawful means:
stealing, swindling, practicing usury, usurping, cheating.
He may find that a person has a great deal of pride, so he will
encourage him to belittle others, to be haughty with those inferior to him in
society, and the list of Shaytaan’s tricks are endless.
May Allaah send peace and blessings on Muhammad, his family, and
his Companions.
