Know Your Enemy.

[Abu Habiba]

As-Salaam alaikum,

In the Holy Qur'an, Allah, the Most High and the Merciful, tells us that:--

           ''Verily, Satan is an enemy to you: so treat him as an enemy.

            He only invites his adherents, that they may become companions

         of the blazing fire.''  (Surat Fatir- 35:6)

Since Satan or Iblis is our avowed enemy, we should fight him, avoid and treat him as such... ie as a first class enemy. We can do this with the help of Allah, Glorified and Exalted Lord of the Universe. In so doing, it will aid us if we know Iblis well enough, so that in fighting him we adopt the right tactics and/or strategy.

So, I bring to your attention the following important information about our enemy Iblis, may Allah curse him:--

Name: Iblis

Permanent Residence: The Hellfire
