In the Holy Qur'an, there are some verses that, in addition to presenting conceptual analyses with logical implications, express the constraints and limitations for evil and destructive influences in creatures, phenomena, and events. From the point of view of Allameh Tabatabai, man’s being social for taking advantage of the others, being influenced by Satan's seductions, and pursuing one’s sensual desires on the one hand, and the striking scientific advances in capturing the earthly and heavenly creatures on the other hand have given man extraordinary power for the destruction of mankind, the divine religion of God, the divine creatures and the events promised in the Qur'an. Allamah Tabatabai's interpretation of these verses shows that no matter how increasingly more intelligent, penetrating and powerful man becomes intellectually, sensually, and physically, his negative influences and evil domination will not be infinite and unlimited; rather, both in proof and affirmation ,he is a function of the traditions and laws current in the best divine order, which he himself is a part of, and in case of violating some of the current laws and traditions, one should await the adverse consequences of some other traditions. This paper seeks to explain the limits of the evil influences using Allamah Tabatabai's interpretive analysis in al-Mizan.
