Lesson
When Prophet Shu-aib (peace be upon Him) began to
advise the people of Madian and the sweet
words spoken by Him began to touch the hearts of listeners, then astray people
of His nation established places, where people used to meet on the coming and
going paths, and began to prevent the people to see Prophet Shu-aib (peace be upon Him) and hear Him.
Even that, they began to threaten them and find faults with the Path, shown by
Him. And they began also to persuade to keep their footing on their bad path. Then
Prophet Shu-aib (peace be upon Him)
commanded them: Behold! Don’t do so, you should neither blockade the path of
people and nor prevent them by threatening from their coming unto Me and that
way of bargaining, which Allah Almighty has determined, and nor try to finish
them, who have believed in Allah Almighty and are ready to obey His Commands. And
you should not pick holes in the Straight Path willing or not willing. And you
should not stir up to give it up by creating doubts of various sorts regarding
the religion in the hearts of the people.
Satan had
undertaken from the beginning to destroy the human being at every cost. The history
of humankind is witness that the Devil did not leave it unfinished by trying
His best. When and where He got any opportunity, He tried to mislead the innocent
mankind from the straight and simple way.
The Devil
knows the matters very well, in which areas the good is for mankind. This attempt
is easy for Him that somehow He should not let human being do good works. He tries
to misguide the people from the straight path towards altogether crooked way
always. He knows that goodness of human being is hidden in it that he/she
should believe that Allah Almighty is his/her Creator, God and Lord. He/she
should recognize the Messengers of God (peace be upon Them) and obey Them and
he/she should ensure that: If I shall not obey God’s Messengers, certainly I
will be punished at last, due to disobeying the Messengers.
Satan says to
the human being: Allah is nothing, everything; which exists; that is; you and
your own strength, so, you should stretch out yourself and your strength, as
much as it may be possible. Everything for you is; this world. You should not
listen to the Messengers (peace be upon Them). They ensnare you in labor; willing
or not willing, and prevent you from ease and comfort of the world, and as its
retaliation, they promise for the Garden, which has neither been by anyone nor
heard.
Whenever any
group of the Devil’s disciples holds command of any place, that group runs
government according to Satan’s instructions, which is: Keep established
authority. Get your words acknowledged by the people. Do neither listen to the
Messengers (peace be upon Them) and Their followers, nor let others hear. Compel
the people by threat or greed; to obey you.
