The workplace of the Hereafter is the world. That is why it is better to do good deeds? To know that, Allah has sent man to this laboratory of the world. Where Satan is always determined to put people in danger. That is why Allah says-
‘Who created death and life; So that you can test, who is better in good deeds? And He is the Mighty, the Forgiving. '(Surah Mulk: verse 2)
Satan has challenged God the Almighty to lead people into sin by trapping them in deception and persuasion. That is why Allah has declared Satan as the open enemy of man in the Qur'an and warned him to be free from Satan's temptations and persuasions.
Satan's most desirable act is to create strife among people. People have to refrain from this work. The beloved Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) narrated such an incident in the hadeeth:
Hazrat Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Satan placed his throne on the water, then sent his army (all over the world). And (that devil) is the closest, the one (among the people) who causes the most strife. Satan sits on the throne and listens to the description of the fetna caused by everyone.
Someone came and said that I have done such and such thing, but you have not done such a thing as Satan. In this way Satan continues to hear the details of the evil deeds of others (Satan) sent by him. Then someone came and said- 'I have cheated on such and such, even separated the husband-wife relationship. Hearing this, the devil pulled him close to his chest. And say you did a great job. Amash, the narrator of the hadith, said, "I think he said, then the devil hugged him to his chest." (Muslim)
Allaah has declared in nine places of the nine Surahs of the Qur'aan: 'And Shaytaan is your open enemy.' Believers deceive or persuade people from behind this open enemy of Muslims. It causes strife among the people. The biggest temptation is to ruin good relations with people. Creating an unstable environment in individuals, families, society.
So it is important to be aware of the family unrest caused by the devil as well as beware of the temptations of the devil. It is important to be free from fetna by considering the world as a field of crops to prepare oneself for the hereafter.
