Christian churches will not be broken down. (Tarikh alTabari, vol. 3, p. 609) This injunction is permanent and applies to all religions. Is it Satan or us who are responsible for our sins? According to religious belief in Islam, Satan has a role to play. A person’s mind has ego and desires. Each desire is an entry point for Satan wherefrom it enters. When Satan enters one’s mind, the Quran says: When any evil suggestion from Satan touches those who fear God, they are instantly alerted and become watchful. (Quran 7:201) The final decision rests with man and man alone is accountable for his actions. Satan cannot make a person commit sins. He can only act as a catalyst.
