S12E32: The Quran's Warnings Against Satan's Misleading Ways

<p>In the Quran, Allah warns about Satan's deceiving nature and his ability to mislead people. Satan is referred to as "Shaytan" in the Quran, and he is described as a powerful enemy who is always looking for ways to tempt and mislead believers.</p> <p>Surah Fatir (35) verse – 5: O humanity! Indeed, Allah’s promise is true. So do not let the life of this world deceive you, nor let the Chief Deceiver1 deceive you about Allah.</p> <p>One of the most famous verses that warns about Satan's deceiving nature is in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 168 which says: "O mankind!
