And he
fell into Sin
When Satan fell into sin and he
realized that by his rebellion he was expelled from Allah’s Mercy and was
doomed to eternal torment He asked Allah to reprieve him till the Day of Judgment
and not to take his soul until the Trumpet is blown as narrates the Noble
Qur’an what means:
“He said, ‘My
Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected.’” (Sâd, 38: 79)
It is noted here that Satan used the
words “My Lord” and not “My God” because he is addressing Allah, all praise and
glory is to Him, as the Lord of all mankind, meaning the Lord of all what He
created, believers and disbelievers.
Allah, all praise and glory is to Him,
has two ways of bestowal: bestowal by Rububiyyah [Lordship] by being the Lord
of all mankind. He is the One Who created them and brought them into being,
therefore by His Lordship He gives those who believes in Him and those who
disbelieves in Him, Allah forbid. But this bestowal is only in this world,
where He gives both the believers and the disbelievers, for the Hands of Allah
are ever stretched out with means of subsistence on the earth giving believers
and disbelievers alike. Thus, whoever adopts the means will have fruits. For
whoever cultivates well the land using the best equipments, the land will give
him abundantly whether he is a believer or a disbeliever. Whoever adopts the
means of development, study and search, means will let him achieve the progress
he worked for…but this is in worldly life only.
As for the bestowments of Uluhiyyah
[Godship], they are conferred only on those who have believed that Allah, all
praise and glory is to Him, is the One and Only True God, Who has no partner.
These are the bestowments of Godship that shall be bestowed by Allah, Blessed
and Exalted is He, in the Hereafter upon the believers in Him when the world of
giving through means and causes ends and everything is directly taken from the
Giver, directly from Allah to His believing servants. Once a thing crosses the
believer’ minds they shall find it before them…without means, without effort.
The devil is whoever invites to the
desertion of worshipping Allah, and pulls away from the truth and incites to
sin whatever be his kind. Satan is one of the creatures of Allah, who rebelled
against the Law of Allah by the power of free choice to obey or disobey that
Allah has given him, thus he rejected the Command of Allah, all praise and
glory is to Him, and by that act of disobedience he disbelieved and he persisted
in disbelief and asked Allah, all praise and glory is to Him, to keep him alive
till the Last Hour befalls.
But why did Satan ask that? And what
did he harbor in mind against mankind?
