Look! Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has given domination to disbelievers etc. over us, whereas He عَزَّوَجَلَّ is All-Powerful and can eliminate the disorder and mischiefs caused by them even without us doing Jihad but He عَزَّوَجَلَّ does not do so. Instead, He عَزَّوَجَلَّ commands bondmen to do Jihad so that He عَزَّوَجَلَّ tests as to who is enthusiastic and eager about Jihad and martyrdom and who fights against them with sincerity and patience.
After giving some more pieces of advice, Sayyiduna Imam Muhammad Ghazali عَـلَـیۡـهِ رَحْـمَـةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـوَالِی has stated: So we have also been commanded to be fully alert and active in the fight against Satan. Our scholars of Islam have also said: In order to fight against Satan and to dominate him, three things are essential:
1. You should be aware of his tricks and tactics and recognize them. Once you become aware of them, Satan will not be able to harm you. If the thief comes to know that the householder is alert to theft, he runs away.
Never accept the misleading and sinful invitation of Satan. There must be no impact of his invitation on your heart. You should not also plan to fight against him because Satan is like a barking dog. If you tease him, he will shout even more loudly. If you ignore his whispers, he will become silent.
Remember the Almighty in abundance.
