Know Your Enemy.

As-Salaam alaikum,
  Says Allah, the Most High and the Merciful, in the Holy Qur'an:--

    ''Verily, Satan is an enemy to you: so treat him as an enemy.
     He only invites his adherents, that they may become companions
     of the blazing fire.''  (Fatir- 35:6)

  Since Satan or Iblis is our avowed enemy, we should fight him, avoid and treat him as such... that is, as a first class enemy. We can do this with the help of Allah Ta'ala. In so doing, it will aid us if we know Iblis well enough, so that in fighting him, we adopt the right tactics/strategy. So, I hereby bring to your attention the following vital information about our enemy Iblis, may Allah curse him:--
