Seeking Refuge from Satan and Cursing Him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it prescribed to curse Satan or to seek refuge from him?
Answer:
Seeking refuge, yes, is required.[Al-A'raf 7:200]. [An-Nahl 16:98]. And seeking refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan is required. As for cursing Satan, this is a foregone conclusion. Satan is already cursed; you do not add anything to that by doing so.
And if you disobey Allah, do not blame Satan. Blame yourself, my brother. Repent to Allah and blame yourself. Satan’s job is that, but blame yourself. Repent to Allah and seek forgiveness from your Lord, the Exalted and Majestic. Satan did not force you to do this. You did it by your own choice. He did not force you to do this. You obeyed him without being forced.[Ibrahim 14:22]. Yes.

And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allah
وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِSo when you recite the Qur'an, [first] seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].
فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِAnd if you disobey Allah, do not blame Satan. Blame yourself, my brother. Repent to Allah and blame yourself. Satan’s job is that, but blame yourself. Repent to Allah and seek forgiveness from your Lord, the Exalted and Majestic. Satan did not force you to do this. You did it by your own choice. He did not force you to do this. You obeyed him without being forced.
But I had no authority over you except that I invited you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me; but blame yourselves.
وَمَا كَانَ لِيَ عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَانٍ إِلَّا أَن دَعَوْتُكُمْ فَاسْتَجَبْتُمْ لِي فَلَا تَلُومُونِي وَلُومُوا أَنفُسَكُم
