5. Alladhi yuwaswisu fee sudoorin-naas: –Allah has given a chance to Shytaan to whisper into our hearts. This is to test us, and to see if we listen to Allah or to Shytaan. –You can easily find out when Shytaan whispers!!! الَّذِييُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ ( 5 ) 'Alla’eeyuwas-wisufee‹udoo-rin-naas. Whowhispers into the chests / hearts (of) mankind –

His special role for you… –First, he will whisper you to not to obey Allah, pray Salah, obey parents, etc. –next, he will make you feel like not studying, talk in the class, disturb others, not doing homework, copying in exams, etc. –Why? He wants you to be a beggar, a sweeper or a janitor when you grow up. Then you will have very little chance of earning rewards. You will not have any money to help others or for making Masjid and schools, you will not have time to pray. –Shaiytaan wants to destroy you. –You will not have knowledge to know Allah.

6. Min-al jinnati wannas: –Each one has a Shytaan with him always. He is a jinn who we can not see. So, you can not fight him, nor avoid him. –You may say: Why is Shytaan given so much power? Well, Allah loves us and He showed us how to defeat Shytaan easily. Allah has in fact given us more powers than to Shytaan. مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ ( 6 ) minal-jinnatiwan-naa‹. From among Jinn and mankind.”

Min-al jinnati wannas: –Shaitaan sees us but we don’t see him. Still we can defeat him by following Allah’s instructions! Wow!!! Isn’t that great!

Shytaan in people –A boy or a girl also can behave like Shytaan! Anyone who asks us to do bad things is like a Shytaan because he or she is following Shytaan.

Shytaan in people –Example: Sometimes may be our best friend might tell us to do bad things like spitting or hitting others in the class or to copy in exams etc. In that case, he has become the agent of Shytaan, or the Shytaan itself. We should not listen to him. And more importantly, we should never ask others to do any bad things either.

مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ ( 6 ) minal-jinnatiwan-naa‹. From among Jinn and mankind.”

End: –Remember Shytaan is very jealous of us because Allah loves us. He is the most evil, wicked, and the worst enemy. He is our enemy No 1. He wants us to disobey Allah and loose everything we have. –Therefore, love this Surah and recite it again and again like Prophet Muhammad pbuh did. –He used to recite these Surahs after every prayer, and while going to bed, for Allah’s help and protection against all evil dangers.
