AssalamuAlaikum today I prayed jummah at the East London Mosque and Shaykh Abdul Qayyum’s khutba was based around Satan and his challenge to the children of Adam, that he will try and lead us astray. Allah azz wa Jal has said in many verses in the Quran that Satan is an open enemy for us and that we should never take him as our friend.

So by deceit he [Satan] brought about their fall. And when they both had tasted of the tree, their nakedness became apparent to them and they began to cover themselves with leaves from the Garden. Their Lord called out to them, "Did I not forbid you that tree and tell you both that Satan is your open enemy? (Al-A`raf 7:22)
