There is no other cure for defeating Satan other than coming in the protection of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala). This is because Satan is a dog whom Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) has sent on human beings. If we spend our time shooing it, our valuable time will be wasted and we will have to suffer for it. It is better that we should turn to the Master of that dog and come in His protection, so that He takes away that dog from us.
