البقرة

إِنَّمَا يَأْمُرُكُم بِالسُّوءِ وَالْفَحْشَاءِ وَأَن تَقُولُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ 169

      This verse certifies that Satan is a manifest and sworn enemy of man, who always commands us to do evil and indecency.

      The Arabic FAHSHAA translated to INDECENCY, implies evil deeds and deviation from the straight path of Monotheism. Its shades of meanings are anything excessive, immoderate, inordinate or extravagant. Anything that goes beyond limits, is said to be FAHISH. Therefore it means all sorts of evil deeds and indecency, covered and uncovered.

 

GRADUAL DEVIATION

      The word `FOOTSTEP OF SATAN' implies that the evil deeds and deviations from the straight path is not a sudden happening. It rather, occurs gradually and step by step, until its results penetrate deeply in the hearts and minds of people. In other word Satanic Temptations by and by inspire evil suggestions in man, and attract his attention step by step, and therefore the HOLY QURÄN, calls man to be careful and from the first step follow him not.
