And when
thou recitest the Qur’aan, seek refuge in Allah from Satan the outcast.

Out of the creatures of
ALLAH ALMIGHTY, there is also a creature, which is called Satan (devil). He has
been born from the fire. When a competition took place between the Angels and
Adam (compliments upon them) and Adam (compliments upon him) won the Test, GOD
ordered the Angels to bow in front of Adam (compliments upon him). So all the
Angels bowed their bodies and placed their foreheads on the ground in front of
the Adam (compliments upon them). But Satan denied bowing because he had
disease of pride in his heart. When he was asked, he replied, “I have been born
from the fire and Adam (compliments upon him) from the Mud. So I am better
than He. How fire can bow in front of mud”. Hence, due to his pride the Satan
was determined outcast forever and till the day of resurrection he was fixed as
cursed. Now the Satan decided to take revenge of his disgrace. Any how he put
Adam (compliments upon him) and his wife, Eve, out of the Heaven and announced
that he would try to misguide the children of Adam (compliments upon him) till
the Day of Judgment. It means that the Satan is our real enemy forever. So our
LORD (ALLAH ALMIGHTY) ordered us to recite like mentioned above. The Last
Messenger Hadrat Muhammad (peace be upon Him) guides us that Satan produces
effects in your constitution like the blood circulates in your bodies. Satan
looks the people but the people neither can look him and nor they can save
themselves from the attack of Satan easily. So every body must seek refuge from
the effects of Satan. It is included in the respects of recitation of Holy
Qur’aan that whenever anyone out of you begins to recite, he should recite
first of all, “I seek refuge in ALLAH from Satan the outcast”. So that our
MASTER take us in HIS refuge and Satan may not get chance to mislead and allure
us in this kind act. Essence of the meanings of Verses may change with wrong
interpretation. O ALLAH ALMIGHTY! Save us from each kind of depravity.
