Animosity in the form of friendship and trickery in the form of benevolence ensure more success for enemies at no financial and human cost. The devil was the first creature that used this method. His hatred is derived from the jealousy of the dignity of prophet Adam (AS). Although Satan has no dominion over man, but he has used tools such as carnal soul and man’s will, and methods of temptation, false promises, causing discord, deception, corruption, etc., to lead man into aberration and corruption. But if the faithful and pious man takes refuge in God and trust in him, he will be safe from evil of the Satan. The paper first introduced the devil and Satan, and then explained their objectives from the perspective of Quran. Afterwards, the methods and tools of Satan’s threats were introduced. Finally, the ways to get rid of this threat as presented by the Quran were enumerated.

There have been discussions about the omnipotence of God and the world as well as the hereafter in the Quran and quotes either explicitly or implicitly. The omnipotence of God has been a recurring theme in theologians’ discussions, and there is no religious consensus on the scope of the omnipotence of God. In particular, according to the Koran, the adherents of the Jewish religion accused God of weakness and inability. On the other hand, the question "to be seen and visible" in order to show the great power of God has an important place in the Shiite’s beliefs. The current research aims to examine the theologian’ opinions and compare it with the verses and stories of Quran to prove God's omnipotence. Therefore, after defining the concept of Muslim sects and presentation of an stable definition, the research makes an attempt to remove some doubts in this regard, and determines the relationship between problem of "to be seen and visible" and divine power. The advantage of this article compared to other articles of the same theme is that the omnipotence of God was discussed independently, its relationships with "to be seen and visible" was explained, and its important place in the Shiite’s beliefs was made clear.
