Q347 It is mentioned in verse (7:27): “Surely he (satan) and his army see you from a place where you see them not.” Where is this place from which satan, together with his army, can see the human beings? Why is he given this tremendous power? If satan can see them to seduce them, can the true guide not see their inner state (batin) and guide them?
A347
- Satan enters the personal world with his army, from where he can see the human beings. The proof of this is the jinn who is near his heart.
- The trial of human beings lies in this power of satan.
- The true guide can also enter the personal world with his army (angels and souls), the proof of which is the angel who is near the heart, so that the light of guidance that is ordained by God may reach the personal world of mu’mins.
