Abstract

The diversity and quality of satanic actions on human existence (soul) can be arrived at through the titles presented in Quran and religious texts. Accordingly, Man becomes afflicted by satanic temptation and error through illusion, imagination and sense in the forms of deception, deceit, delude, disappointment and delay. Human heart is the focal point for satanic insinuation and influence which becomes afflicted through organs, sensory faculties and naughtiness of illusion. Arriving at a monotheistic knowledge through internal and external reasons which is known as the ultimate goal of creation and management and control of the power of reason over the functions of perceptual faculties are the counter measures against the satanic influence. Mosavi Khomeini has also underscored the necessity of control and supervision over the faculty of imagination and strengthening the rule of reason over illusion.
