Bismillah:
Insha'Allah will answer your questions or your "adopted" question one by one.
Quote:Yawning is from satan?
<b>The prophet said, "Yawning is from Satan and if anyone of you yawns, he should check his yawning as much as possible, for if anyone of yuo (during the act of yawning) should say: "Ha", Satan will laugh at him." Vol. 2:158</b>
Islam as we explained before is a complete way of life, it does not only deal with all kind of worship but it also deal with manners. it is a beautiful religion, full of wisdom and harmony. If this wonderful religion is followed properly then a typical Muslim would only be a great example to follow.
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr: "The Prophet never used bad language neither a 'Fahish nor a Mutafahish. He used to say <b>'The best amongst you are those who have the best manners and character</b>.' (Sahih Bukhari volume 4, Book 56, Number 759)"
so what did he teach us about Yawning?
When you yawn, you must either keep your lips locked, or cover your mouth with your hand:
The son of Abu Said al-Khudri reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: "When one of you yawns, he should keep his mouth shut with the help of his hand, <b>for it is the devil that enters therein</b>. (Sahih Muslim, The Book <b>Pertaining to Piety and Softening of Hearts </b> (Kitab Al-Zuhd wa Al-Raqa'iq), Book 042, Number 7130)"
The devil here in the Saying of our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him is <b>your act of offense to others</b>. Many people would get offended when people yawn without covering their mouths.
i suggest that you make some research on Satan in Islam, because the idea is totally different from what you have been taught in your Bible.

Wael.
