Satan had disobeyed Allah by refusing to prostrate before Adam alay salam.So Allah had labelled him as a traitor and evil-monger and expelled him from jannat. Since that day satan has become vindictive and had told Allah that hewould try to mislead human beings from the path of virtue. Thus, he had become the biggets enemy of human beings as his sole motive is to lead them astray so that they become disobedient towards Allah, like satan himself. The Quran describes satan as our biggest enemy inيَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كُلُواْ مِمَّا فِي الأَرْضِ حَلاَلاً طَيِّباً وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ (2:168)• 2:168 (Asad) O MANKIND! Partake of what is lawful and good on earth,and follow not Satan's footsteps: for, verily, he is your open foe, -chapter:2, verse:168.وَدَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ عَلَى حِينِ غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْأَهْلِهَا فَوَجَدَ فِيهَا رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتَتِلَانِ هَذَا مِن شِيعَتِهِ وَهَذَا مِنْ عَدُوِّهِ فَاسْتَغَاثَهُ الَّذِي مِن شِيعَتِهِ عَلَى الَّذِي مِنْ عَدُوِّهِ فَوَكَزَهُ مُوسَى فَقَضَى عَلَيْهِ قَالَ هَذَا مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِنَّهُ عَدُوٌّ مُّضِلٌّ مُّبِينٌ (28:15)• 28:15 (Asad) And [one day] he entered the city at a time when [most of] its people were [resting intheir houses,] unaware of what was going on [in the streets]; [13] and there he encountered two men fighting with one another - one of his own people, [14] and the other of his enemies. And the one who belonged to his own people cried out to him for help against him whowas of his enemies - whereupon Moses struck him down with his fist, and [thus] brought about his end. [But then] he said [to himself]: “This is of Satan’s doing! Verily, he isan open foe, leading [man] astray!” [15] -chapter 28:, verse 15إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ فَاتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُوًّا إِنَّمَا يَدْعُو حِزْبَهُ لِيَكُونُوا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ (35:6)• 35:6 (Asad) Behold, Satan is a foe unto you: so treat him as a foe. He but calls on his followers to the endthat they might find themselves among such as are destined for the blazing flame – -chapter: 35,verse:6أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوا الشَّيْطَانَ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ (36:60)• 36:60 (Asad) Did I not enjoin on you, O you children of Adam, that you should not worship Satan – since, verily, he is your open foe [30]. and chapter 36, verse:60.Allah has strictly forbidden us from following the footsteps of satan as he is our biggest enemy. Allah has ordered all the human beings who have faith in him to follow Islam. This has been mentioned inيَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ ادْخُلُواْ فِي السِّلْمِ كَآفَّةً وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ (2:208)• 2:208 (Asad) O you who have attained to faith! Surrender yourselves wholly unto God, [191] and follow not Satan's footsteps, for, verily, he is your open foe. -chapter: 2, verse:208وَمِنَ الأَنْعَامِ حَمُولَةً وَفَرْشًا كُلُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّهُ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ (6:142)• 6:142 (Asad) And of the cattle reared for work and for the sake of their flesh, eat whatever God has provided for you as sustenance, andfollow not Satan's foot-steps: [129] behold, he is your open foe! -chapter 6, verse: 142.

Satan Is Our Biggest Foe
Number Of Satans
As opposed to the common perception there is not just a singlesatan. The holy Quran mentions about the existence of a huge number of satans. The most powerful of all the satans is the Iblis. The rest of the satans are under his hegemony. Iblis is also known as the babahe satan.The satans also have a hierarchy in which the king has an army of about30,000-70,000 satans under his control. There is a mention of the satan’s army in the holy Quran in verse no.95,
chapter 26.وَجُنُودُ إِبْلِيسَ أَجْمَعُونَ (26:95)26:95 (Y. Ali) "And the whole hosts of Iblis together.The satans function in groups also in which there is one leader and innumerable number of satans working under him. There is solidarity amongst the satans and they work in unison. If occasion arises they do not hesitate to sacrifice their lives to help their group members. Amongst these satans there are amil-kamil black magicians and those satans who arecapable of performing the most powerful and dangerous magic spells. There is a mention about such satanic groups in several places in the holy Quran such as chapter no.58, verse 19.اسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَأَنسَاهُمْ ذِكْرَ اللَّه
ِ أُوْلَئِكَ حِزْبُ الشَّيْطَانِ أَلَا إِنَّ حِزْبَ الشَّيْطَانِ هُمُالْخَاسِرُونَ (58:19)58:19 (Y. Ali)
The Evil One has got the better of them: so he has madethem lose the remembrance of Allah. They are the Party of the Evil One. Truly, it is the Party of the EvilOne that will perish!Besides having formed huge armiesand groups the satans also have a tribe/ sardari system. The satans have formed numerous tribes which comprise of a huge number of satans. The most powerful satan in a tribe is called the leader or sardar of that tribe. Such satanic tribal leaders have around 800-1200 billion forces at their command.The Surah Al-Anaam, verse no. 123 of the Quran mentions about such satanic tribes.وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَا فِي كُلِّ قَرْيَةٍ أَكَابِرَمُجَرِمِيهَا لِيَمْكُرُواْ فِيهَا وَمَا يَمْكُرُونَ إِلاَّ بِأَنفُسِهِمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ (6:123)6:123 (Y. Ali) Thus have We placed leaders in every town, its wicked men, to plot (and burrow) therein: but they only plot against their ownsouls, and they perceive it not.remember me in your prayers.
