When the Qur’an is read, listen to it with attention, and hold your peace: that you may receive mercy.1
‘And now if you have anything to say, O Satan, say it!’
Satan replied: ‘I cannot oppose what you say, nor defend myself. But there are many foolish people who listen to me; and many devils in human form who assist me; and many pharaohs among philosophers who learn things from me which flatter their egos, and prevent the publication of works like yours. Therefore I shall not lay down my arms before you.’
Qur’an, 7:204.
