How would you feel if you were told Satan has crept into every nook of your home and invaded not only yours but the minds all of members of your family?
Many religions have warned against Satan and his deceptions for centuries.
The Abrahamic religions, namely Judaism, Christianity and Islam have a similar stance on Satan/Iblis/Shaitan, even though Jews and Christians consider him as a fallen angel, while Muslims consider him as a different creature of Allah called Jinn.
Angels were created from light and with no will power but only to worship God and carry on God’s commands, while Jinn, made from fire, and Humans, made from clay, were created with free will and the free choice to obey or disobey God’s commandments. This is one of the reasons why Satan could not have been an angel.
Upon his rebellion and his fall from Paradise, Satan claims that he would deceive mankind:
{(Iblees) said: ‘Because You have sent me astray, surely, I will sit in wait against them (human beings) on Your straight path. Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left, and You will not find most of them as thankful ones (i.e. they will not be dutiful to You)} (Al-A’raf 7: 16-7)
Satan’s method of deception has varied throughout history. But from the late 20th. century to this day, he has managed to invent such luring tools that have landed him his greatest victory over his dazed and ignorant followers. In fact his supporters have turned Satan worship into multi-billion dollar businesses. It would not be surprising if his followers soon surpass the followers of other major religions.
In this article we will examine various deceptive tools of Satan to lure his victims. Please pay close attention! You or your family members may be among the unfortunate victims!
Video Games
The seemingly innocent Nintendo games in the 80′s were among his first covert tools to lure the children. The very same children were trained and raised by this deceiver slowly and even without noticing that the games started having demonic forces, beasts, blood, magic, vampires and so called man-god creatures.
In fact even the parents got used to seeing these images without having any thoughts that they are inviting Satan in their homes and putting the hands of their children in his evil hands to guide them.
Normally parents drop off their kids to an academic school and go to work with peace of mind…
Some of these parents have been and are still very adamant about the children attending Islamic and Quran schools. Thinking they are closing the door to Satan, not realizing that they are opening the windows for him to enter and in fact it is the parents that finance or facilitate the education of their children through “Satan’s school of Higher Education,” certified by the great deceiver of mankind.
Normally parents drop off their kids to an academic school and go to work with peace of mind that their kids are being educated well. But when the kids come home, parents are stressed.
Nowadays many parents are so busy with work and managing life that they would not mind spending a bit or much on entertainments that would occupy the kids and leave the parents with some peace – not knowing the evil result of these entertainments. This is the kids’ after-school education!
Mind Control
Much has been said, written and researched about the effect of engaging with supernatural characters on a daily basis for entertainment. Parents do not realize that their kids are being indoctrinated by the dark forces. In fact many adults are the grown up children of the past who have been religiously following this path and are being controlled by it.
The mind control effect of these games and fictions cannot be over stated. The way of thinking, behaving and processing is vastly affected by repeated exposure to such elements.
Who Says I am Worshiping Satan?
To make it more clear about how you and your loved ones may be affected, we will concentrate on one of the most popular book series in the world – Harry Potter. You can then expand your thoughts to nearly all other modern forms of entertainments and you will see they have similar elements as Harry Potter.
To emphasize the magnitude of interest in these books, please note the following:

Hidden Dangers in Harry Potter
A Christian booklet, named above, started circulating all over the U.S. in the 1990s, warning parents about the dangers of the effects of Harry Potter books on their children. [v] I obtained many copies and gave them to Muslim children.
The look in their eyes was very obvious! Stay out of our affairs Raya. We are in control not you!
Did they realize who really was in control? Even Muslim parents seem irritated at my warnings. They would state that the books are making their kids interested in reading. In fact, many Muslim parents would wait for hours in line to get the books for the kids.
The following are some comments by the author:
“Attraction to her books is due to them being highly imaginative to the point that the readers cannot put them down. It has sequence of fantasy novels. The stories involve adventures of an orphan boy named Harry whose parents (a wizard and a witch) were brutally murdered by “the greatest dark sorcerer of all times, Lord Voldemort.” He is then raised by non-witch relatives and later at age 11, he is re-introduced to the world of witchcraft in the wizard school. The plot intensifies with each sequential book and high budget films. Children around the world anxiously waited for the next one to arrive.”
The huge surge, he said was coming mostly from teenagers, who testified that the books had drawn them to witchcraft.
Aside from being a fantasy book, which involves things that don’t exist, the books are loaded with events involving wizards, witches, warlocks, sorcerers, crystal ball, spells, curses, potions, charms, numerology, divinations, astrology, palmistry, out-of-body travel and communication with the spirits, of all of which reflect actual belief in ancient and modern occultism.
(Note: Islam as well as Christianity strictly prohibit all the above.)
Fiction Affects Children
The author notes, “Fiction is a powerful communicator of ideas which can affect human behavior.” This is true both for fiction that can affect the reader toward God, or the other way, toward evil.
Robert Night of the Family Research Council warns that in the midst of the fun and magic, Harry Potter also “gives children an appetite for the occult,” quotes the author.
The Pagan Federation, a well-organized promoter of Wicca in England, elected a youth officer to deal with the flood of inquiries following the success of Harry Potter. The huge surge, he said was coming mostly from teenagers, who testified that the books had drawn them to witchcraft. Some of these were comments from ten and eleven year olds. (End of above author’s comments)
The story makes being a wizard and involvement in magic interesting and fun for children, not realizing the trap they are stepping in. It is sad to see parents totally ignorant of the danger.
Last Publication – A Continued Success
The last Harry Potter book was published in February 2007.
The book sold just over 2 million copies in the United Kingdom in the first 24 hours according to British publisher Bloomsbury Publishing, which has the ultimate rights to the book and that it franchises around the world. Also, according to the publisher, overall series has sold 325 million copies worldwide and been translated into 64 languages since its initial publication in 1997. [vi]
In 2005′s film, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” did worldwide box office of $892 million, making it the second-best grossing film in the series, behind only the first in the series, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” which did $976 million after its 2001 release.[vii]
Who is in Charge?
What do we learn from the above information?
Who has power over our children today and sadly many adults as well?
Satan makes attractive the evil and makes unattractive and boring the piety and God consciousness.
