Lesson
It is
commanded that when Iblis (Satan) was
exiled, He thought: It was a big thing. As He was made of fire, so He was
ill-tempered. He knew it in His heart too that: Nothing will be, if I would
consider myself great, because actual Power and Honor is in the Hand of Allah
only, otherwise, there is no other form. As I have been degraded, now I can do
nothing by being good. The only form is that I should demand power from Allah
to make Adam (peace be upon Him) and His children bad. And that power should be
like this – that I may use that power to seduce the human beings until any
individual from the children of Adam (peace be upon Him) is living in the
world.
After making
such plan and being disappointed from all sides, He cried before Allah Almighty:
I should be retained living till the establishment of the Day of Resurrection
and I should be given so much power that I may do, whatsoever I desire, without
any minute examination. You have Power to punish me as You wish on the Day of
Judgment.
There is no
delay in the Court of Allah Almighty. That will be given to every that person, whichever
and whoever deserves and demands. And it was known also that He (Satan) cannot
mar the management of the world. Therefore, Allah Almighty permitted Iblis to do whatever He wished and said:
Lo! Thou art of those reprieved.
That was it – the
desire of Satan’s heart was fulfilled. He was becoming blind in the ardent zeal
of revenge from Adam (peace be upon Him), and began to dance with pleasure. If you
wish to guess regarding running mad in pleasure by Iblis, then you would have to see the condition of that individual,
who has been saved from the punishment of death, converted into imprisonment
for life, after hearing his appeal by the Criminal Court. Such person, really,
runs mad due to passion of the pleasure.
Similarly, Iblis (the Devil) sang for joy and said
addressing the Most Superior Authority (God Almighty): I will show You too
that; what would I have done. I shall not let Adam (peace be upon Him) and His
children go the Right Path. In this connection, I shall try my best. I shall
encompass them from all around and set a trap heart-alluring and of wickedness.
And I am sure; maximum people from them will get out of their senses after
being entangled in My trap and they will think nothing about You (Allah
Almighty).
At that time
Allah Almighty rebuked Iblis (the
Devil) carelessly and said: Go! You are free. Try your best. Its consequence
will come before you.
