(… يَعِدُهُمْ وَيُمَنِّيهِمْ ) (Satan promises them and arouses desire in them …): He promises and not fulfil his promise. So the Muslim should always follow the path that Allah (swt) directs us to in the Holy Qur’an:

وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

(And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is Hearing and Knowing.) (Al-A’raf: 200)

Even that when you engage in prayer or while you are reading the Qur’an and suddenly your mind goes far thinking in the daily matters, then you have to say: I seek refuge in Allah from Satan. And after that resume your reading, so that Satan will not whisper to you anymore.

( وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ إِلَّا غُرُورًا … ) (…But Satan does not promise them except delusion): Satan’s promises are nothing but deceptions and indeed he will them to great loss.
