Yã Oukhty ! Yã Akhy !

Allaah ﷻ built into us desires and urges so that we seek beneficial things. Anger was instilled in us so that we would use it to repel harm. And we've been given intellect in order to be fair in that which we seek and avoid. At the same time Our Lord created Iblis, the devil who entices us to be excessive in general.

The son of Adam should be wary of this declared enemy as Allaah ﷻ ordered us in the Glorious Qur'an:

*وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ (168) إِنَّمَا يَأْمُرُكُم بِالسُّوءِ وَالْفَحْشَاءِ وَأَن تَقُولُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ*
*And do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy. He only orders you to evil and immorality and to say about Allaah what you do not know.* [Al-Baqara 2:168-169].

Allaah says again :

*الشَّيْطَانُ يَعِدُكُمُ الْفَقْرَ وَيَأْمُرُكُم بِالْفَحْشَاءِ وَاللَّهُ يَعِدُكُم مَّغْفِرَةً مِّنْهُ وَفَضْلًا وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ*
*Satan threatens you with poverty and orders you to immorality, while Allaah promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty. And Allaah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.* [Al-Baqara 2:268]

And again :

*وَيُرِيدُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَن يُضِلَّهُمْ ضَلَالًا بَعِيدًا*
*and Satan wishes to lead them far astray.* [An-Nisaa 4:60].

Iblis had indeed declared his hostility to the Humankind since the time of our prophet Adam (عليه الصلاة والسلام). He devotes his time and his entire life to corrupting the attitudes of the sons of Adam.
Ibn Al-Jawzi (رحمه الله) said : _"It must be known that Iblis is occupied with deception, and yet, he was the first to be deceived. He rejected the clear order to prostrate (to Adam) , and he dwelled into who was of better origin (him or Adam)."_
*[talbis Iblis p66]*.

In fact Iblis said to Allaah ﷻ when asked to postrate for Adam :
*أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِي مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِن طِينٍ*
*"I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."* [Al-A'raaf 7:12]

So Iblis disobeyed his Lord by swelling with pride. He questioned the greater importance that Allaah ﷻ gave Adam and his descendants compared to him.

And Allaah ﷻ says :
*وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ أَبَى وَاسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ*
*And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate before Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.* [Al-Baqara 2:34]

The battle of the son of Adam consists in overcoming his passions and making his reason prevail over the heart. The Devil watches us morning and evening and seeks only the smallest opportunity often unsuspected to make us plunge into darkness far away from the light of our Lord.

Yã ibn Adam !
The devil, Iblis indeed made a promise. He made a firm commitment. What is this commitment ? Look at What Allaah ﷻ says in His Book :
*قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَكَ هَذَا الَّذِي كَرَّمْتَ عَلَيَّ لَئِنْ أَخَّرْتَنِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَأَحْتَنِكَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا*
*[Iblis] said, "Do You see this one whom You have honored above me? If You delay me until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely destroy his descendants, except for a few."*
[Al-Israa 17:62].

And then Allaah ﷻ replied to him :
*قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَمَن تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ فَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ جَزَاؤُكُمْ جَزَاءً مَّوْفُورًا (63) وَاسْتَفْزِزْ مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ مِنْهُم بِصَوْتِكَ وَأَجْلِبْ عَلَيْهِم بِخَيْلِكَ وَرَجِلِكَ وَشَارِكْهُمْ فِي الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَوْلَادِ وَعِدْهُمْ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ إِلَّا غُرُورًا (64) إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيْسَ لَكَ

عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَانٌ وَكَفَى بِرَبِّكَ وَكِيلً.

                                        *[ Allaah ] said, "Go, for whoever of them follows you, indeed Hell will be the recompense of you - an ample recompense. And incite [to senselessness] whoever you can among them with your voice and assault them with your horses and foot soldiers and become a partner in their wealth and their children and promise them." But Satan does not promise them except delusion. Indeed, over My [believing] servants there is for you no authority. And sufficient is your Lord as Disposer of affairs.*
[Al-Israa 17:63-65].

                                      Alhamdulilah, Allaah ﷻ gives us this assurance that Iblis has no authority over His servants but only on those who follow him (Iblis).

In a Hadeeth reported by Jabir (رضي الله عنه), Allaah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: _*Iblis places his throne upon water; he then sends detachments (for creating dissension) ; the nearer to him in rank are those who are most notorious in creating dissension. One of them comes and says: "I did so and so." And he says: "You have done nothing." Then one amongst them comes and says:*.
