Worst than Ibless

Re: Worst then Ibless

Salams brother Ibn Sadique
I was thinking a similar thing, but I was not sure … Because there are so many people who are worshiping Satan this must be through his influence … Also, he has less of an excuse - Allah (SWT) has to be discovered by us in this life … however, Iblees did not have such an excuse … could even the worst human disobey Allah (SWT) on Judgment Day? However, Ibless disobeyed Allah (SWT) on the advent when all angels prostrated to the Adamic form before Allah (SWT) … And in the Final Sermon when it was said, by RasoolAllah (SAW);
“Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things …”
So he used lead people astray in big things … and still does to the non-Muslims.

Surah Al-Hijr

“When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him.” 15:29]
So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together: 15:30]
Not so Iblis: he refused to be among those who prostrated themselves. 15:31]
(Allah) said: “O Iblis! what is your reason for not being among those who prostrated themselves?” 15:32]
(Iblis) said: “I am not one to prostrate myself to man, whom Thou didst create from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape.” 15:33]
(Allah) said: "Then get thee out from here; for thou art rejected, accursed. 15:34]
“And the curse shall be on thee till the day of Judgment.” 15:35]
(Iblis) said: “O my Lord! give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are raised.” 15:36]
(Allah) said: "Respite is granted thee 15:37]
“Till the Day of the Time appointed.” 15:38]
(Iblis) said: "O my Lord! because Thou hast put me in the wrong, I will make (wrong) fair-seeming to them on the earth, and I will put them all in the wrong,- 15:39]
“Except Thy servants among them, sincere and purified (by Thy Grace).” 15:40]
(Allah) said: "This (way of My sincere servants) is indeed a way that leads straight to Me. 15:41]
“For over My servants no authority shalt thou have, except such as put themselves in the wrong and follow thee.” 15:42]

I have quoted relevant ayahs from Surah Al-Hijr

In ayah 15:33 we see Ibleess’s excuse for disobeying Allah Almighty – superiority complex, pride got better than him. He rebelled against the command of Allah Almighty. His crime is very serious, as you have rightly pointed it out, he rebelled in presence of Allah Almighty.

In ayah 15:39 we see that Iblees despite his rebellion proclaims Allah Almighty as his Lord (Rabb)

Likewise we see in the following ayah – after having lead others astray, Shaitan/Iblees will absolves himself from the sin and expressing his fear of Allah Almighty and accepting Him as Rabbul Aalmeen ‘Lord of the Worlds’.

Like the Shaitan when he says to man: Disbelieve, but when he disbelieves, he says: I am surely clear of you; surely I fear Allah, the Lord of the worlds. [59:16]

Iblees did not set himself as a rival to Allah Almighty. Shaitan/Iblees only suggests or encourages through his whispering for Man to sin. He cannot force Mankind into sin.

“Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things …”

Indeed the Blessed Prophet’s (peace be upon him) words and advice is true. Believers commit ‘lesser’ sins thinking them to be insignificant – over the years these ‘lesser’ sins blacken the heart and leading to major sins.

@lethal_kamikaze

Peace All,

all for your contribution.
So who could be worse than Shaitan (ibless)? "The one that does not pray, because Shaitan (Ibless) was commanded to bow down in respect to Adam PBUH and the children of Adam PBUH was commanded to bow down to Almighty Allah, and they refused, so which one is worst than other?
The one that was commanded to bow down to Adam PBUH and he refused
or
The one that was commanded to bow down to Almighty Allah and he refused?

Assalama alaykum brother lethal kamikaze

To me someone who sets himself as a rival to Allah Almighty is worse than Iblees. Ibless rebelled against command of Allah Almighty but did not challenge His Lordship.

Those who claim divinity are setting themselves as rivals of Allah Almighty – thus imposing Shirk – this is most detestable /abominable sin in sight of Allah Almighty.
