When you recite the Quran, seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed.

He has no authority over those who believe and trust in their Lord.

16:99Lo! he hath no power over those who believe and put trust in their Lord.

And Satan will say when the matter is settled, “Allah gave you a true promise, but I deceived you. I had no authority over you except to invite, and you responded. So do not blame me, blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can you help me.

14:22And Satan saith, when the matter hath been decided: Lo! Allah promised you a promise of truth; and I promised you, then failed you. And I had no power over you save that I called unto you and ye obeyed me. So blame not, but blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can ye help me, Lo! I disbelieved in that which ye before ascribed to me. Lo! for wrong-doers is a painful doom.

Yet he had no authority over them, only that We might distinguish those who believe in the Hereafter from those in doubt.

15:42Lo! as for My slaves, thou hast no power over any of them save such of the froward as follow thee,

34:21And he had no warrant whatsoever against them, save that We would know him who believeth in the Hereafter from him who is in doubt thereof; and thy Lord (O Muhammad) taketh note of all things.

His influence is only over those who take him as an ally and those who associate others with Allah.

16:100His power is only over those who make a friend of him, and those who ascribe partners unto Him (Allah).
