Dealing with Satan and Protection from Him

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, among the questions that came in, this questioner says: How does a Muslim deal with Satan? And what is obligatory for him to avoid following him?

Answer:
Satan comes to a person at all times, especially when doing righteous deeds, when one wants to do a righteous deed, whether reading or prayer, in order to distract him. Satan cannot prevent the Muslim from obedience entirely, but he prevents him from the presence of the heart and reflection. This is Satan. He sees you, but you do not see him. He is with you while you are in your prayer, in your bed, in your eating, and in your work. So what protects you from him? Seeking refuge in Allah protects you from him, by saying, "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan," with the presence of the heart. If you seek refuge in Allah from him with the presence of your heart, Allah will protect you from him and guard you against him. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you and reward you.
