An Analysis of the Influence of Demons on Humans in the Field of Religious Knowledge with an Emphasis on the Opinions of Allameh Tabataba'i

The issue of the influence of demons on religious knowledge is one of the issues of Quranic origin. The present research is intended to study the quality, quantity and extent of the effects of devils in the acquisition of religious knowledge from the perspective of the verses of the Qur'an, with an emphasis on the opinions of Allameh Tabataba'i, using a descriptive, analytical and library method. The findings of the research indicate that the Satan tries to prevent man from acquiring religious knowledge by creating neglect, weakening his intellect and embellishing his thoughts and actions. As a result, by following purely the desires of the soul and being attached to the world, a person will have a breakdown in religious teachings and the Satan will have complete control over him. In this way, Satan's efforts in the decline of religious knowledge are realized. At such a stage, man starts denying the divine verses.
