I had cited an example that Satan is like a ferocious dog that lingers at the entrance to the king's tent. Whenever anyone tries to go to the presence of the king, the dog rushes at him with gnawing teethe. This is such a mean janitor that barring the close friends of the king, none other is safe. Only Allah's favorites can reach Him without let or hindrance from this enemy. Anyway, to enter the king's tent we shall have to seek protection from him from the evil dog. There is no other way than seeking Allah's help and protection from the accursed Satan to achieve His nearness! Only Allah's fury can contain the accursed Satan.

Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to seek Allah's protection that with His attention one can get protection from the mischief of Satan. In this regard the Holy Quran says:

Wa qul aaoozu Rabbaka min hamazat il shayateene wa aaoozubeka Rabbe an yahdaroon

Say! O Habib! 'O Lord! I seek Your protection from the fears caused by the satans on my heart and soul!'

Particularly in privacy and loneliness, saving oneself from the fears and temptations created by Satan is rather difficult. In such a situation one must call:

'Ya ghayas al mustagheeseen

Ya malaaz al laaezeen

O listener of the plaint of the plaintiff

O provider of succor to the refuge seeker!

Save me from the machinations of Satan.' If there is no protection of Allah, one cannot save himself from the onslaught of Satan's subterfuges.
