How Does Satan Influence Humans?
As I have heard from ghamidi sahib that the word shaitan is an adjective. It itself has no physical entity. It’s used for those who transgress the moral norms and values of the society. And the same title (adjective) was used for Iblis. How did iblis commence his deed of deviating the human beings from the right track? Was it started from adam and eve? How is he living in our veins? Ghamidi said that there are other devilish(shaitani) forces in our societies such as shaitan humans and shaitan jins which reinforces the devilish acts in humans. But my question is; how can shaitan reinforce or beautify the sinful acts when we are alone and there is no other human being? Is it through jins, if yes then how can jin do that? Is iblis present with every human being to affect one’s intentions and will?

From Sarah Al Nas the last sura of the Qur’an we know that a Satan or devil can communicate with our inner self to insinuate. Human satan does it from outside but a jinn satan has some other ways. How he does it is not known to us. However this insinuation is suggestive, man can accept or reject it.
Iblis was a satan from jinns. It is not iblis who is present everywhere.

Is that shaitan a kind of abstract feeling or a metaphor for iblis?

Shaitan is an adjective like mischievous. It is used for iblis, a real being.
-
Do you mean iblis is present with all the human beings to communicate with their inner selves?
-

No. There are many shitan both from the kind of Jinn Ans human present everywhere. As we are told in sura Al Nas.
-
Do you mean that shaitan has just initiated that vicious cycle and it’s still continue since that time?

From criminology we understand how con artists and legendary Indian “thugs” successfully used greed, lust, and vanity to trap, rob, and kill their victims. People have to make choices all the time. If those choices are guided by greed, lust, or vanity that becomes a trap.

Do you mean that we, humans, are trapped in that perpetual whirlpool that was commenced by iblis?

We only about ghaib only what Allah has revealed. We have no means to know and say anything more than that.
Allah has created conscious beings, among whom humans and the jinn are put through a test i.e. worldly life. Since it is a test, people have the power to make conscious choices – chose to do wrong or right. When some or many of us chose to do wrong that creates evil. Influencers of all kinds, and decievers act on human mind to pull or push in direction of their choice.
It is up to every individual to commit to truth, understand it, and then make good choices for action.

The Qur’an tells that before iblis came into the scene the the angels had recognized that man will make fasad in the land and shed the blood.
Quran tells us that God has inculcated good and evil in human nature.
It is not iblis who kick strated it. He and his colleagues are just stimulus.
