SHAITAANS MISSION AND AMBITION

You must be well aware of the story of the Shaitaan and his challenge to Allah (SWT). When commanded
by Allah to bow down to Adam, he refused to do so and from that day onwards, due to his ego, made his
only mission to deviate men from Allahs path by evil whisperings. To make them commit sins so that
Allahs servants be held accountable for it.

Remember, none of the sins of a mad person who has lost his senses get recorded as sin in that state
and he is not held accountable before Allah (SWT) because the Pen has been lifted and her bad deeds
are not recorded when that is the case. So that person is included in the words of the Prophet (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him):

The Pen has been lifted from three: from the sleeper until he awakens, from the child until he reaches
puberty and from the insane person until he comes to his senses -- or until he comes round. (Narrated
by Abu Dawood (4403), al-Nasaai (3432) and Ibn Maajah (2041). Classed as saheeh by
Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.)

Hence, if Satan makes a person insane, then he is affecting his own only mission and ambition of making
the sons of Adam commit sins so that they be held accountable before Allah (SWT).

Roaming around nude on the streets is a sin. To say bad words to others is a sin. To throw stones at
others is a sin. A mad, insane person does all these sins and still he is free from having committed these
sins and is not held accountable. Because he was insane at that moment.

Satan would never want this. Instead he would want that the sons of Adam, commit sins by remaining in
their full senses, so that their sins get recorded and they are held accountable and hence he (Satan)
succeeds in his mission. Why will Satan ruin his only mission by making people go mad/insane?

There is nothing in the Quran and the Sunnah to indicate that Jinns/satan can make a person mad or
can control his body physically. Mentally, shaitaan can control a human mind, but only through his evil
waswasaas and nothing else. Without evidence of the fact, many people are in the world preaching this
false analogy that Jinns can control a human mind and make him mad. It is not permissible to claim that
unless there is evidence to prove it, and there is nothing in the evidence that bears witness to that.
Perhaps the origin of this claim comes from exaggeration.
