As-Salaam alaikum,
Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, related that the Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said :--
"Satan comes to a person and asks: 'Who created this? Who created that?'. He eventually asks : 'who created your Lord?' If he reaches such a stage, the person seek refuge in Allah and abstain (from having such thoughts)". /Bukhari, 3276, Muslim : 134.

Seeking refuge in Allah in this hadith is a good method of repelling wisperings of Satan, because besides the blessings it contains as a supplication (Du'a), when the person turns his attention towards Allah Ta'ala by seeking of refuge this will draw his attention away from the evil wispering. This is because the soul cannot turn its attention to 2 things at the same time. The essence of this method is thus to become occupied in the remembrance of Allah.

This talk of Satan makes me ask this question:

What is the root and stem of evil?

The answer to hat question is pretty easy in Islaam: The ability of free will
Everything comes from Allah. With everything, we mean literally "everything"...even Satan and all kinds of evil.

The only purpose of the existence of evil (as far as I know) is to give us a fair free will.
Free will is an attribute that raise or lower us in the rank of creatures as servants of Allah.
Humans (in comparison to angels) are pretty weak creatures, we get tired easily, we are dependent on food, water, light.
we need sleep, we can get sick, etc. etc.

However, we have a secret weapon: true free will. We CHOOSE to serve Allah voluntarily...we can choose not to, but the ones who make that choice, get a better rank than angels.

Angels dont have this option to choose. They do their jobs very good and flawlessly, however...they just obey and do as they are told. they cannot say no.

That is why free will is very important for us. and to have a true free will, you have to have an option to choose for the evil.
So that is why evil exist.

Plato said that ignorance is the root and stem of all evil. Do you think he was wrong? Experience in my life has told he Plato was correct.
