30.1 He is our enemy

Verily Satan is an enemy to you: so treat him as an
enemy. He only invites his followers that they may
become companions of the blazing fire.
Ch 35: V6

30.2 Satan waiting on the straight path trying to divert

those on it
(Satan said:)...Lo! I will lie in wait for them on your
straight way.
Ch 7: V16

30.3 Can only suggests ideas to you

And Satan will say when the matter is decided: It was
Allah who gave you a promise of truth: I too promised,
but I failed in my promise to you. I had no authority
over you except to call you but you listened to me: then
do not blame me, but blame your own souls. I cannot
listen to your cries, nor can you listen to mine. I reject
your former act in associating me with Allah. For wrong-
doers there must be a grievous penalty.
Ch 14: V22

30.4 Causes division among people

Say to My servants that they should (only) say those
things that are best: for Satan does create divisions
among them: for Satan is to man an open enemy.
Ch 17: V53

30.5 Makes false promises

Satan makes them promises, and creates in them false
desires; but Satan’s promises are nothing but deception.
Ch 4: V 120

30.6 Commands what is shameful

O you who believe! follow not Satan’s footsteps: if
any will follow the footsteps of Satan, he will (but)
command what is shameful and wrong: and were it not
for the Grace and Mercy of Allah on you, not one of you
would ever have been pure: but Allah does purify whom
He pleases: and Allah is One who hears and knows (all
things).
Ch 24: V 21

30.7 Our companion if we do not remember Allah

If anyone withdraws himself from remembrance of
(Allah) Most Gracious, We appoint for him a satan, to be
an intimate companion to him.
Ch 43: V36

30.8 Allah protects us from Satan

If a suggestion from Satan enters your (mind), seek
refuge with Allah, for He hears and knows (all
things). Those who fear Allah, when a thought of
evil from Satan is suggested to them, bring Allah to
remembrance, when lo! They see (aright)!
Ch 7: V200 - 201
