Many people do not know Allah. This series is an attempt to help them in order to know and acknowledge their Creator. 

The verses 7:85-86 of the Noble Quran talk about: Allah sent the messenger Shuayb to Madyan saying: do not defraud and do not work corruption ; and Allah Commands:

1) give full measure and weight and do not diminish the value of people’s goods,

2) do not work corruption by committing transgressions,

3) do not Scare or terrify people and

4) do not charge people unfair excise taxes.

The meaning of verse 7:85

And, Allah sent, to Madyan (Midian) their brother the Messenger Shuayb.  He said, ‘O my people, worship Allah! Profess Allah’s divine Oneness; you have no god other than Him, in whom I am enjoining you to believe.

Verily there has come to you a clear proof from your Lord regarding Allah’s message to prove my truthfulness.

So give full measure and weight and do not defraud, do not diminish the value of people’s goods, do not wrong mankind in their goods;

and do not work corruption in the earth, by way of unbelief and acts of disobedience, after it has been set right, through the sending of messengers thereto.

In other words, work not confusion in the earth by committing transgressions and calling to other than Allah and by not giving full measure and full weight.

That, the profession of Allah’s divine Oneness and giving full measure and weight, will be better for you than that in which you are now, if ye are believers in what I say to you, so hasten to it.

 

The meaning of verse 7:86

Do not Lurk on every road that people use to threaten, beat, scare and take the clothes of strangers, and to turn away the believers from Allah’s path, from Allah’s religion and obedience, and to seek to make it crooked, and seek to make it other than what it is.

In other words, And do not sit in every path, every route, threatening, terrifying people by seizing their garments, or by charging them excise tax, and barring, driving away, from Allah’s way, from His religion, those who believe in Him; when you threaten to kill them and desiring that it, seeking that the path, be crooked. 

And remember, when you were but few in number, how Allah did multiply you in number.

And see the nature of the consequence for the corrupters!

See how was the end result of the idolaters and corrupters before you through destruction.

In other words, Shuayb said unto them:

And remember when you were but few, and then He multiplied you. And behold what was the end of the agents of corruption, before you, for denying their messengers, that is, behold how destruction was the conclusion of their affair.

This is Allah (26) What is Allah’s Promise to Satan and His Fellows?

The Excuse of Satan is that for every Liar and Hypocrite

How old is Satan Right now although He is working very actively?

Satan can come to you from everywhere except from above

When Allah degraded, banished, and removed Satan from His Mercy?

Many people do not know Allah. This series is an attempt to help them in order to know and acknowledge their Creator.

Verses 7:14-18 of the Noble Quran talk about:

1) What is Allah’s Promise to Satan and His Fellows? 

2) The Excuse of Satan is that for every Liar and Hypocrite,

3) How old is Satan Right now although He is working very actively?

4) Satan can come to you from everywhere except from above and

5) When Allah degraded, banished, and removed Satan from His Mercy?

————————————————-

In the previous article, Satan refused to Prostrate before Adam for salutation and he was the First Historically disobeyed Allah; then Allah said to him: ‘Go down from the heavens; it is not, right, for you to show pride here and disobey’;

In verses 7:14-18 you will see what Satan said to Allah

The meaning of verse 7:14

He said: Reprieve me, give me respite, till the day when they are raised from the graves-accursed not wanting to die. In other words, he said: postpone my affair, until the Day of Judgment.  So, you can imagine how old is Satan right now although he is working very actively?

The meaning of verse 7:15

Allah Said, ‘Lo! You are of those reprieved, you are given respite’; in another verse (38:81), it is said, until the day of an appointed time, that is, until the time of the first blast of the Trumpet, an event that will happen very close to Day of Judgment.  Now, the wicked Satan realized that he will live until the Day of Judgment and he knows that Allah is keeping his words, then what he said?

The meaning of verse 7:16

He, Iblis, said: ‘Now, because You have sent me astray just as You made me err from guidance, verily I shall lurk in ambush for them) for the children of Adam (on Thy Right Path) the religion of Islam. In other words, he said: verily I shall sit in ambush for them, that is, for the Children of Adam, on Your straight path, that is, on the path that leads to You.  It is interesting to know that he did not Prostrate before Adam for salutation and disobeyed Allah because of his pride and his assumption that he is better than Adam; then after all of his sins, he said that Allah made him err!  This is the almost always excuse of the liars and hypocrites.  Then Satan continued:

The meaning of verse 7:17

He said: Then I shall come upon them from before them and from behind them and from their right and from their left, that is to say, from every side, and prevent them from following it (that path, Allah’s Path i.e. from following Allah’s Religion that is Islam). And You will not find most of them thankful’, believing.

Ibn Abbās, one of the famous interpreter of the Quran  said: ‘However, he cannot come upon them from above, lest he come between the servant and the mercy of Allah, exalted be He’.

In other words, Satan said: Then I shall come upon them from before them, with regard to the Hereafter that there is no hell, Paradise, resurrection or reckoning, and from behind them, that the life of this world is everlasting and I shall bid them to amass and withhold out of stinginess and I will order them to commit corruption, and from their right hands, vis-à-vis the religion: I shall confuse those who are guided until they leave the guidance, and I shall make it seem fair to those who are misguided such that they remain misguided, and from their left hands, as regard pleasures and delights, and Thou wilt not find most of them, all of them beholden, unto Thee, believers in You.

After Satan has done, what Allah said to him?

The meaning of verse 7:18

Allah Said: ‘Go forth from it, degraded, disgraced or despised, and banished, removed from mercy. As for those of them, of people, who follow you I shall assuredly fill Hell with all of you’, that is, with you, through your seed, and with people, in other words, ‘whoever follows you, then I shall punish him’).

In short, Allah said: Go forth from hence, degraded, rebuked, banished far from good; As for such of them, from the jinn and humans as follow you and obey you, surely I will fill hell with all of you of the disbelievers among the jinn and humans.
