Presents : "The Promises and Tricks of Shaytaan"
Assalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu.
In the name of Allah the Compassionate. We give thanks to Allah who created us from a single soul, and from it created its mate, and from the pair of them spread countless men and women far and wide.
And we seek Allah's refuge from Shaytaan — the accursed.
May The peace and blessings of Allah be upon our noble prophet Muhammad, his household, his companions and his followers up till the day of Judgement.
In Shaa Allah, we would be discussing "The Promises and Tricks of Shaytaan"
The Genesis of Shaytaan becoming the cursed-one — as well known to us — had begun from the Creation of Ãdam (Alayhi salaam) where he had refused His Lord's commandment out of arrogance. Allah narrated what indeed transpired thereof to us in various verses of the Qur’an to serve as a reminder to the world.
A session of this could be extracted from Surah Al-A'raf; it reads:
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ ثُمَّ صَوَّرْنَاكُمْ ثُمَّ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَ السَّاجِدِينَ
“We created you, We gave you shape, and then We said to the angels, ‘Bow down before Adam,’ and they did. But not Iblis: he was not one of those who bowed down.
“God said, ‘What prevented you from bowing down as I commanded you?’ and he said, ‘I am better than him: You created me from fire and him from clay.
“God said, ‘Get down from here! This is no place for your arrogance. Get out! You are contemptible!”
Thus, Shaytaan becomes ar-rajim — the accursed. However before he vacated the the garden he requested power and immortality from Allah so as to establish his fiefdom on earth upon mankind:
قَالَ أَنْظِرْنِي إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
“But Iblis said, ‘Give me respite until the Day people are raised from the dead,
“and God replied, ‘You have respite.”
Thereafter he promulgated his intention to beguile Adam’s descendant at any given instance.
قَالَ فَبِمَا أَغْوَيْتَنِي لَأَقْعُدَنَّ لَهُمْ صِرَاطَكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ
“And then Iblis said, ‘Because You have put me in the wrong, I will lie in wait for them all on Your straight path:
“I will come at them- from their front and their back, from their right and their left- and You will find that most of them are ungrateful.
“God said, ‘Get out! You are disgraced and banished! I swear I shall fill Hell with you and all who follow you!”
Indeed Shaytaan begun his evil as promised:
فَوَسْوَسَ لَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ لِيُبْدِيَ لَهُمَا مَا وُورِيَ عَنْهُمَا مِنْ سَوْآتِهِمَا وَقَالَ مَا نَهَاكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنْ هَٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَا مَلَكَيْنِ أَوْ تَكُونَا مِنَ الْخَالِدِينَ
“Satan whispered to them so as to expose their nakedness, which had been hidden from them: he said, ‘Your Lord only forbade you this tree to prevent you becoming angels or immortals,
“he lured them with lies. Their nakedness became exposed to them when they had eaten from the tree: they began to put together leaves from the Garden to cover themselves. Their Lord called to them, ‘Did I not forbid you to approach that tree.”
Thus, Adam (Alayhi salaam) and his wife also vacate the garden.
However, because of antecedence, Allah warned we the descendants of Adam to guard strictly off misdeed as they're plot of the devil —certainly he’s our worst enemy.
يَا بَنِي آدَمَ لَا يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ كَمَا أَخْرَجَ أَبَوَيْكُمْ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ يَنْزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْآتِهِمَا ۗ إِنَّهُ يَرَاكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيلُهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا الشَّيَاطِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
“Children of Adam, do not let Satan seduce you, as he did your parents, causing them to leave the Garden, stripping them of their garments to expose their nakedness to them: he and his forces can see you from where you cannot see them: We have made evil ones allies to those who do not believe.
“Satan is your enemy so treat him as an enemy, he invites his followers only to enter the blazing fire.”
Let's now consider from Suratun-Nisah of what the devil promised:
وَلَأُضِلَّنَّهُمْ وَلَأُمَنِّيَنَّهُمْ وَلَآمُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُبَتِّكُنَّ آذَانَ الْأَنْعَامِ وَلَآمُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُغَيِّرُنَّ خَلْقَ اللَّهِ ۚ وَمَنْ يَتَّخِذِ الشَّيْطَانَ وَلِيًّا مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ خَسِرَ خُسْرَانًا مُبِينًا
“I will mislead them and incite vain desires in them; I will command them to slit the ears of cattle; I will command them to tamper with God’s creation.’ Whoever chooses Satan as a patron instead of God is utterly ruined
1. I will mislead them: as seen around us today, the devil has beguiled people to mischief of varying kind. Like the insurgency, people taking lordship aside Allah from Shaykhs dead or living etc. These are bad. Remember Allah does not forgive the joining of partners with Him.
2. I will incite vain desires in them: We can see the Female folk dressing in seductive apparels, basking a lustful gaits, instilling temptations upon men in way of 'beautification'.
This they do not out of ignorance but just selfish desires.
3. I will command them to slit the ears of cattle: however this practice is common among the Arabs during the period of ignorance. They take out of their cattle and camels to slit their ears and when that is done, the cattle or camel will not be rode on again rather it'll be regarded as an animal to worship. This is similar to making that which Allah has made beneficial for you as an object of worship — idol.
4. I will command them to tamper with God's creation: it is considered a norm among ladies to use artificial hair, pluck eyebrows, wear heavy makeups while the boys would wear tattoos. The worst of it people undergoing plastic surgeries! These are indeed of grievous sin.
‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “May Allaah curse the women who do tattoos and those for whom tattoos are done, those who pluck their eyebrows and those who file their teeth for the purpose of beautification and alter the creation of Allaah.” (al-Bukhaari, al-Libaas)
Remember Shaytaan would deny ever knowing you not even acknowledging his misdeed as to which he lures man. In suratul Ibrahim Verse 22 Allah discloses:
“When everything has been decided, Satan will say, ‘God gave you a true promise. I too made promises but they were false ones: I had no power over you except to call you, and you responded to my call, so do not blame me; blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can you help me. I reject the way you associated me with God before.’ A bitter torment awaits such wrongdoers”
Whereas Allah had said, “Children of Adam, did I not command you not to serve Satan, for he was your sworn enemy…”
أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ أَنْ لَا تَعْبُدُوا الشَّيْطَانَ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُبِينٌ وَأَنِ اعْبُدُونِي ۚ هَٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُسْتَقِيمٌ
(36:61).
May Allah protect us from the evil acts and tricks of Shaytaan.
