Al Naḥl

إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَي الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا وَعَلَي رَبّـِهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ

99. “Verily, there is no authority for him over those who believe and rely on their Lord.”

One’s faith serves as a citadel which protects man from all kinds of vulnerabilities. Therefore, the Satan has no control over those who believe in Allah and trust Him. That is, he cannot compel them to be pagans and to commit sins. The verse says:

“Verily, there is no authority for him over those who believe and rely on their Lord.”
