he also said "shaytaan is only 1 entity so how can he be responsibile for leading mankind astray, does he come to every person on the planet at the same time and lead them astray?"

Life is a test and there has to be a pull and push factor in order for us to be tested. We are tested to see which are the true servants of Allah and which only follow their only desires and the whispers of shaythan.
The pull factor pulls us away from good like our nafs and whispers of shaythan and the push factor which is the goodness we have inside our souls wants us to do good and so acts as a push factor pushing us towards good.
Therefore as a test we have a shaythan who is always with us who acts as a pull factor and which tries to push us away from good and try and tempt us towards evil. This shaythan is always with us right from the beginning and so knows all of our past history and which sins we are more likely to commit and therefore may try anc concentrate on our weak points.
But remember they can only whisper to us as we have been created beings of free will to decide between doing right or wrong so it is upto us to decide to listen to those whispers or not or to follow our desires or not. The whispers of shaythan and our nafs (desires) compliment each other and therefore work with each other.
If there was no test in this life then life would be pointless and so we are tested and if we are true servants of Allah then we are more superiour than the angels because the angels have not been gien free will and we have. But the more we listen to the whispers of shaythan the more power the qareen has over us.
Allah Almighty says: “His Companion will say: “Our Lord! I did not make him transgress, but he was (himself) far astray.”
(Qaf: 27) i.e. the shaythan assigned to seduce him will say: “My lord! It was not me who seduced him at the beginning, but it was he himself who preferred blindness to guidance. So, I helped him achieve his goal through seduction.”
If anyone withdraws himself from remembrance of Allah Most Gracious, We appoint for him an evil one, to be an intimate companion to him.
Sura Az-Zukhruf (36)
In a hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) tells us that a demon is assigned to every human being: “There is no one among you but a comrade from among the jinn is assigned to him.” Sahaba e Karam (RA) present in that occasion asked: “Even you, O Messenger of Allah?”
He said: “Even me, but Allah granted me victory over him and he became Muslim (or: and I am safe from him), so he only enjoins me to do that which is good.”
So the more evil we commit then the more closer friendship we will develop with the qareen that is appointed to us and thr more weaker we will be to his whispers and when he tempts us to do certain things.
In order to repel the effects of the Qareen we need to do as many good deeds as possible including recitation of Qur'an particularly Ayatul Kursi, remembering and glorifying Allah as much as we can, being the best towards others, maintaining ties of kinship and so on.
We need to constantly remember Allah and do our utmost to abide by the commands of Allah and follow the Sunnah of Rasulallah (Pbuh).
If we are successful then we will have an ETERNITY of bliss which is such a great reward for comparitively little effort.
So let us repel the effects of shaythan by going towards Allah and doing as much good as we can and to constantly repent and ask for the mercy and forgiveness of Allah.
and Allah know best in all matters
