The latest episode of Behind the Lens with Queen Liz turns the spotlight on a thought-provoking theological question: Is Satan a threat to mankind in Islam?

Hosted by media personality Elizabeth Essuman, popularly known as Queen Liz, the programme features Pan-Africanist thinker Avraham Ben Moshe in an in-depth discussion on faith, spirituality and doctrine, with a particular focus on Islamic teachings.

The episode examines the role of Shayṭān (Iblīs) in Islam, interrogating whether Satan possesses real power over human beings or whether his influence is largely confined to whispers, temptation and deception.

Drawing on the Qur’an and authentic Islamic teachings, the discussion highlights scholarly views that Satan’s influence is limited by the will of Allah and that he holds no authority over true believers who place their trust in God.

Queen Liz and Avraham Ben Moshe also explore how Satan exploits human weaknesses, while emphasising the centrality of personal choice, discipline and faith over fear.

The conversation further underscores the importance of dhikr and spiritual consciousness as a way of life, rather than a reactionary measure in moments of distress.

According to the producers, the episode is designed to offer clarity on fundamental issues of belief, while providing practical insights on strengthening the mind, heart and faith in everyday life.
