    Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ said,

    إِنِّي وَجَدتُّ امْرَأَةً تَمْلِكُهُمْ وَأُوتِيَتْ مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَلَهَا عَرْشٌ عَظِيمٌ
    "I found a woman ruling over them: she has been given all things that could be possessed by any ruler of the earth, and she has a great throne.

    وَجَدتُّهَا وَقَوْمَهَا يَسْجُدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ فَهُمْ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ
    "I found her and her people worshipping the sun instead of Allah, and Shaitan has made their deeds fair-seeming unto them, and has barred them from (Allah's) Way: so they have no guidance."

    Qur'aan Surah an-Naml Ayat 23-24

    It was narrated that Abu Umâmah رضى الله عنه said:
    'Amr bin 'Abasah As-Sulami رضى الله عنه said:
    ….I said: "O Prophet of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم), tell me what Allah has taught you, that I do not know. Tell me about prayer." He said: "Pray the Subh (morning) Prayer, then refrain from praying until the sun has risen and become high, for when it rises, it rises between the horns of the Shaitân and at that time the disbelievers prostrate unto it. Then pray, for the prayer is witnessed and attended until the shadow of a spear falls directly north [i.e. meaning noon]. Then refrain from praying, for at that time Jahannam (Hell-Fire) is stoked up. Then when the shadow moves forward, pray – for the prayer is witnessed and attended – until you have prayed 'Asr. Then refrain from praying until the sun has set, for it sets between the horns of the Shaitân and at that time the disbelievers prostrate unto it."…

    Sahih Muslim » The Book of Prayer – Travellers]

    Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ said,

    وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ وَالشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ ۚ لَا تَسْجُدُوا لِلشَّمْسِ وَلَا لِلْقَمَرِ وَاسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَهُنَّ إِن كُنتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ
    And from among His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Prostrate yourselves not to the sun nor to the moon, but prostrate yourselves to Allah Who created them, if you (really) worship Him.

    ۩ فَإِنِ اسْتَكْبَرُوا فَالَّذِينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ يُسَبِّحُونَ لَهُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْأَمُونَ
    But if they are too proud (to do so), then there are those who are with your Lord (angels) Glorifying Him night and day, and never are they tired.

    Qur'aan Surah Fussilat Ayat 37-38

    It was narrated from 'Abdullah As-Sunabihi رضى الله عنه
    that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

    الشَّمْسُ تَطْلُعُ وَمَعَهَا قَرْنُ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِذَا ارْتَفَعَتْ فَارَقَهَا فَإِذَا اسْتَوَتْ قَارَنَهَا فَإِذَا زَالَتْ فَارَقَهَا فَإِذَا دَنَتْ لِلْغُرُوبِ قَارَنَهَا فَإِذَا غَرَبَتْ فَارَقَهَا
    “The sun rises and with it the horn of the Shaitan (Satan), then when it is fully risen, he goes away. Then when it approaches the meridian he comes near to it, and when it has passed the zenith he goes away. Then when it is close to setting, he comes near to it, then when it has set, he goes away."

    ‏ وَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَاتِ
    And the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم forbade praying at those times.”

    [Sunan an-Nasa'i » The Book of the Times (of Prayer) – كتاب المواقيت]

    Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ said,

    تَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَىٰ أُمَمٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُمُ الْيَوْمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
    By Allah, We indeed sent (Messengers) to the nations before you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم), but Shaitan (Satan) made their deeds fair-seeming unto them. So he is their Wali (helper) today (i.e. in this world), and theirs will be a painful torment.

    وَمَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ إِلَّا لِتُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ الَّذِي اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ ۙ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ
    And We have not sent down the Book (the Qur'aan) to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم), except that you may explain clearly unto them those things in which they differ, and (as) a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe.

    Qur'aan Surah an-Nahl Ayat 63-64
