Belief in The Devil in 2015

[dyresand]

I think without Satan and his army,  it would be a lot easier to attain to virtue and righteousness, but it would not be a guarantee, but it would be harder to attain the higher ranks.

The difficulty in people being misguided and falsehood obeyed, is due spiritual nature of the attacks on the soul.  

But God allowed this so that we seek refuge in him through his name,  build strength to repel his attacks, and fight back with the sword of God and sword of honor, and build a relationship with God not possible without this hard trial and battle between good and evil.

I think one of the obvious manifestation to me of Satan is how despite verses in Quran of clear guidance, people ignore them and are oblivious to them, and go against them, and are blind to them. They cannot recite the true recitation or accept the verses in their place, because there is something that wants them to go against and not see. 

The blindness to the spiritual kingdom is also of Satan. Despite our connection, our inheriting our evil and good action in the unseen, and the nature of blessings, people are oblivious to the Lord of the worlds and his constant lordship on people and taking them into account.

I think the trial would be too easy for humans were it not for Satanic forces, because, we been created on the best nature, and we would not be able to bring the potential of that best nature without him.

I feel Satan is an open enemy, and if you realize every time you are try to get guided, and try to be good, yet there is something trying to bring our rank down, cause us to be worse than we are...and so why would ourselves do this to ourselves? Why would we want ourselves to be more evil and why would our mind which is devoted for our well being whisper to us all sorts of things that make us uneasy, go against our peace, and cause us disgrace.

Satan is an open enemy, he and his forces, are to be fought with full force.

You do realize.... god at any point would win by cheating... god could literally create a army of angels infinite in size to the Satans army.
