Can I learn the process of how shaytan involves himself in our stream of consciousness from start to finish?

Question

Eg. in one the last surahs he's called "the whisperer". Are there Islamic sites that analyse the stages of consciousness of where he's involved and the way he manifests himself in these streams so that we can identify the thought-process to cut them off?

Answer 1

Wow.  Nice question.  I think you are getting a little ahead of yourself, but good luck.  How are you going to distinguish what you call Shaytan from logic, sub-concious, experience, etc.

Unfortunately, the Quran only says that the jinn of the world "inspire" in the hearts of man thoughts to commit sin. When Man acts upon this then satan's short term objective is successful, and his long term goal is even closer to being accomplished. Here is what he is allowed to do to accomplish these goals:

"You may entice them with your voice, and mobilize all your forces and all your men against them, and share in their money and children, and promise them. Anything the devil promises is no more than an illusion. [17:64]

O people, eat from the earth's products all that is lawful and good, and do not follow the steps of Satan; he is your most ardent enemy. He only commands you to commit evil and vice, and to say about GOD what you do not know. [2:168-169]

here's an example of how he applies this in a real life scenario:

"I will come to them from before them, and from behind them, and from their right, and from their left, and You will find that most of them are unappreciative." "As for you, Adam, dwell with your wife in Paradise, and eat therefrom as you please, but do not approach this one tree, lest you fall in sin." The devil whispered to them, in order to reveal their bodies, which were invisible to them. He said, "Your Lord did not forbid you from this tree, except to prevent you from becoming angels, and from attaining eternal existence." He swore to them, "I am giving you good advice." He thus duped them with lies. As soon as they tasted the tree, their bodies became visible to them, and they tried to cover themselves with the leaves of Paradise. Their Lord called upon them: "Did I not enjoin you from that tree, and warn you that the devil is your most ardent enemy?" They said, "Our Lord, we have wronged our souls, and unless You forgive us and have mercy on us, we will be losers." [7:17, 19-23]

Although he can't do this against those who attain certainty:

He has no power over those who believe and trust in their Lord. His power is limited to those who choose him as their master, those who choose him as their god. [16:99-100]

Peace, hope that helps

As far as I know, there is no web site that analyses the stages of consciousness of where shaytan is involved and the way he manifest himself.  

An angel and a shaytan are there for every human being.  When the heart of a believer is empty of rememberance of Allah, Shaytan will take up the opportunity and create bad thoughts (whisper) in him.  Immediately, the angel will tell him that this thought is from shaytan.  Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) tought a masnoon dua for overcoming the whispers of shaytan.  When bad thoughts come to mind, recite "Auzu billahi sameehul aleem mina shaytani rajeem" three times and blow to the left side of the chest (where heart is situated)".  Shaytan will immediately withdraw from him.

When a person enters his house and recites the masnoon dua "Allahumma inne as'aluka khairal mouliji wa khairal makhraji, bismillahi wa lajna wa bismillahi kharajna, wa alallahi rabbina tawakkalna" shaytan will say: "You are damned. You have no place to live in in this house".

When a person starts eating by reciting the masnoon dua "Bismillahi wa ala barkathilla", shaytan will say "You are damned.  You have no food to eat in this house".  When a person goes out of his house reciting the dua "Bismillahi tawakkaltu alallahi wa lahoula wa la quvvatha illa billahil aliyyil azeem" an angel will tell him "You are on the right path.  You are protected from all calamities and the whispers of shaytan".  Lavatory is a special camp of shaytan.  Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) taught the dua "Bismillahi annahumma innee a'uzu bika minal qubusi wal qaba'isi (In the name of Allah. Oh Allah, I seek your protection from the male and female shaytans".  Recite this dua before entering the lavatory, enter with left foot, spent the least time therein and come out with right foot (Don't smoke and don't read news papers inside the toilet).  Before going to sleep recite "Ayathul Kursi".  By reciting this verse from Holy Quran we will be protected from whispers of shaytan while sleeping.  So, recite the masnoon duas recited/tought by Prophet (PBUH) on all occassions to get rid of the whispers of shaytan.  By reciting the duas we remember Allah and shaytan will run away from us.
