"Do not curse the devil, but instead speak the name of God."

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) explained that when you focus on cursing the devil, you give him too much weight and space. He grows in pride knowing that he has disturbed you. Instead speak the name of God and seek refuge in him (ie. Bismillah), and the devil will shrink to the size of a fly. Evil only occupies what we let it occupy. Satan is weak and can only whisper. Evil thrives on idleness and insecurity. Do not give space to anyone who wishes you harm, not in your thoughts nor in your hearts. Those that slander, those that deceive, those that seek to divert you, and those that seek to lead you astray. Focus on Your Lord and on busying yourself with good, and evil will despair in the face of devotion.
