قَالَ يٰۤـاِبۡلِيۡسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ اَنۡ تَسۡجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقۡتُ بِيَدَىَّ ؕ اَسۡتَكۡبَرۡتَ اَمۡ كُنۡتَ مِنَ الۡعَالِيۡنَ
(38:75) The Lord said: “O Iblis, what prevented you from prostrating yourself before him whom I created of My Two Hands.64 Are you waxing proud, or fancy yourself to be too exalted?”
64. These words have been used to point out the honor, rank and glory bestowed on man by his Creator. In other words, Allah did not get man created through his angels but created him by Himself because his creation was a highly noble task. Therefore, what is meant to be said is: What has prevented you from prostrating yourself before him whom I have made directly Myself?
The words be-yadaiia (both hands) probably are meant to refer to the fact that this new creation combines in itself two important aspects of Allah’s power of creation: (1) That man has been given an animal body on account of which he belongs to the animal kingdom. (2) That on account of the Spirit breathed into him, he has been characterized with qualities which place him in honor and merit above all earthly creations and creatures.
قَالَ اَنَا خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡهُ ؕ خَلَقۡتَنِىۡ مِنۡ نَّارٍ وَّخَلَقۡتَهٗ مِنۡ طِيۡنٍ
(38:76) He replied: “I am nobler than he. You created me from fire and created him from clay.”
قَالَ فَاخۡرُجۡ مِنۡهَا فَاِنَّكَ رَجِيۡمٌ ۖ ۚ
(38:77) He said: “Get out of here;65 surely you are accursed,66
65. “Out of it”: From the place where Adam was created and where the angels were commanded to bow down before Adam, and where Iblis committed disobedience of Allah.
66. Lexically, the word rajim, as used in the original, means “cast off” or “smitten”; in common usage it is used for the person, who has been thrown down from a place of honor and humiliated. In Surah Al-Aaraf, the same thing has been expressed thus: Get out: you are indeed one of those who wish themselves ignominy. (verse 13).
وَّاِنَّ عَلَيۡكَ لَعۡنَتِىۡۤ اِلٰى يَوۡمِ الدِّيۡنِ
(38:78) and My curse shall remain upon you till the Day of Resurrection.”67
67. This does not mean that there will be no curse on him after the Day of Judgment, but rather it means: He will remain accursed till the Day of Judgment because of his disobedience, and after the Day of Judgment he will be punished for the sins which he will have committed from the creation of Adam until Resurrection.
قَالَ رَبِّ فَاَنۡظِرۡنِىۡۤ اِلٰى يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُوۡنَ
(38:79) Satan said: “My Lord, then grant me respite till the Day that they are raised up.”
قَالَ فَاِنَّكَ مِنَ الۡمُنۡظَرِيۡنَۙ
(38:80) He said: “You are of those who have been granted respite
اِلٰى يَوۡمِ الۡوَقۡتِ الۡمَعۡلُوۡمِ
(38:81) till the Day whose Hour I know.”
قَالَ فَبِعِزَّتِكَ لَاُغۡوِيَنَّهُمۡ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَۙ
(38:82) (Iblis) said: “By Your glory, I shall mislead them all
اِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنۡهُمُ الۡمُخۡلَصِيۡنَ
(38:83) except those of Your servants, the chosen ones from amongst them.”68
68. This does not mean: I will not lead Your chosen servants astray, but it means: I shall have no power over Your chosen servants.
قَالَ فَالۡحَقُّ وَالۡحَقَّ اَ قُوۡلُ ۚ
(38:84) He (i.e. Allah) said: “This is the Truth � and I only speak the Truth �
لَاَمۡلَئَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنۡكَ وَمِمَّنۡ تَبِعَكَ مِنۡهُمۡ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَ
(38:85) I will certainly fill the Gehenna with you69 and with all those among them who follow you.”70
69. “With you” is not only addressed to Iblis but to the whole species of satans. That is, Iblis and his whole army of the satans who will be joining him in misleading mankind till Resurrection.
70. This entire story has been related in answer to this saying of the chiefs of the Quraish: Was he the only (fit) person among us to whom Allah’s admonition should have been sent down? Its first answer was the one given in verses 9-10, saying: Are you the owners of the treasures of the mercy of your Mighty and Bounteous Lord? And does the kingdom of the heavens and the earth belong to you, and is it for you to decide as to who should be appointed God’s Prophet and who should not be appointed? In the second answer the chiefs of the Quraish have been told: Your jealousy, your pride and arrogance against Muhammad (peace be upon him) are similar to the jealousy and arrogance of Iblis against Adam (peace be upon him). Iblis had also refused to acknowledge the right of Allah to appoint anyone He pleased as His vicegerent, and you are also refusing to acknowledge His right to appoint anyone He pleases as His Messenger. Iblis disobeyed the command to bow down before Adam, and you are disobeying the command to follow Muhammad (peace be upon him). Your resemblance with him does not end here, but your fate also will be the same as has been pre-ordained for him, i.e. the curse of God in the world and the fire of Hell in the Hereafter.
Besides, in connection with this story, two other things also have been stressed: (1) Whoever is disobeying Allah in this world, is in fact, falling a prey to Iblis, his eternal enemy, who has resolved to mislead and misguide mankind since the beginning of creation. (2) The one who disobeys Allah on account of arrogance and persists in His disobedience is under His wrath: such a one has no forgiveness from Him.
قُلۡ مَاۤ اَسۡـئَـلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ اَجۡرٍ وَّمَاۤ اَنَا مِنَ الۡمُتَكَلِّفِيۡنَ
(38:86) (O Prophet), tell them: “I do not ask you for any recompense for the performance of this task;71 nor am I given to affectation.72
71. That is, I am a selfless person: I have no vested interest in preaching this message.
72. That is, I am not one of those who arise with false claims for the sake of vanity and pose to be what actually they are not. The Prophet (peace be upon him) has not been made to say this merely for the information of the disbelievers of Makkah but this is testified by his whole life which he lived among the same people for forty years before his advent as a Prophet. Every child of Makkah was a witness that Muhammad (peace be upon him) was not an impostor. Never had anybody from among the people of Makkah ever heard anything from him which might have caused somebody the doubt that he aspired to be a great man and was planning and scheming for that end.
اِنۡ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكۡرٌ لِّلۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ
(38:87) This is nothing but an Admonition for all people the world over.
وَلَتَعۡلَمُنَّ نَبَاَهٗ بَعۡدَ حِيۡنِ
(38:88) You will know the truth of the matter after a while.”73
so Iblis had nothing to do with Prophet Adam's removal from janah?
Would prophet adam be removed from janah if iblis didn't exist?
Iblis convinced Adam to eat the forbidden fruit which he was told not to eat, But because of humans and their weakness, Adam fell.prey to shaytan trap and ate the fruit which ultimately got him to the earth. This was a divine decree from Allah as ofcourse Allah eternally knew this was going to happen. Remember when I said shaytan will do what it takes to get everyone in hellfire? thats what he's doing and he tried to do that with Adam aswell.
Read again I said he whispered to him.
You're a nimrod and low IQ murtad without a basic understanding of diin nor history. You repeat a couple of 'gotcha you' posts which you got from your similarly low IQ murtad peers. The qarmatians sacked mecca and took the black stone but they did not defecate on it they simply held it for ransom as they were brigands. Eventually Abu Tahir's suffered a long and agonizing death as his flesh was consumed by disease and the qarmatians collapsed.
Even if the Black stone was never returned it would have never matter because The Black stone is but a stone not an idol, it being destroyed or stolen doesnt indicate anything similarlly the Kaaba is a building and its destruction ( which it had been many times before the advent of the messenger (saw))
Lack of knowledge of Islam and understanding is what leads to this. Waswaas will be defeated if you have those two. There’s no doubt Allah hears and sees all. We don’t get sad or angry because we understand without a doubt we will be tested. Everything occurring on this earth is a part of that test....?
For example duas, I am having hard time wrapping my head around millions of Muslims, maybe even a billion, making duas everyday for Palestine and those duas not being answered. How do you reconcile this with the Quran telling us that Allah is near and all we have to do is ask him for help?
I know that there are few conditions to duas being answered.
1. One must eat of Halal income, so you must eat of your own hard earned money.
2. One must wear clothes that were bought with halal income, once again.
So unless you wanna tell me 100s of millions of Muslims are eating haram, why aren't our duas answered?
Another question that's always coming to my mind is why the gaalo people live far better and happier lives than Muslims.
The gaalo people have healthier and wealthier societies, and when you ask this, shaikhs will tell you that's because we Muslims are being tested now so we can enjoy the next life while this is their Janah. The follow up question is why should we be tested now? We followed God right, so what is the objective of this test other than being made to suffer anyway? If God is omnipotent, why can't we have this life and the next life to be both wonderful? Why is there a need for suffering at all?
Last question, do I become gaal for entertaining or asking this questions? yo boy kinda scared.
Please no semantics and no moving the goalpost.
To those who know the deen more than me, please help understand these questions.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Blind faith like gaalo people have doesn’t create this level of yaqeen that we Muslims have. We surpass them because Allah granted us true knowledge that clarifies everything for us. The more you learn about Allah, the more your faith is cemented.
Scholars have written books and there are countless lectures on these matters. I suggest you study and seek knowledge if you’re sincere in your questions. Why ask laypeople when you can go to more learned people?
The best course of action is to go to learned people/scholars and ask them directly as you said. Bringing up doubts in public to laypeople will only create further problems for the OP and others who are not knowledgeable and strong in their faith.
I always try to assume the best but anyone can come online and say these things. We can’t be sure if it’s a Muslim or gaal saying it. There are actual people out there who spend lots of time trying to mislead people with these doubts.

You're always subjected to the actions of other people. The Israel/Palenstine war is the result of other people aka Israel's very immoral actions. The way I see it religion is perfect but humans are not. They often twist the religion for their own benefit and use it harm others. I'm not sure what it will take for our duas to reach Palenstine but I hope it does soon. Just be the best muslim you can be and focus on things that are within your control.
There are definitely people who spend time and energy to mislead others from the faith. During the time of the Prophet ﷺ some of the Jews of Madinah came up with a plan to get Muslims to apostatise from Islam. They conspired to accept Islam at dawn (and attend the dawn prayer) and then revert back to their faith at the day's end so that the Muslims with weak faith would question their behaviour and come to the conclusion that the Jews had uncovered a flaw in Islam that lead them to abandon the religion. This incident shows us the lengths some disbelievers are willing to go lead Muslims astray.
There have also been cases of people claiming to be ex-Muslims who devoutly followed the religion but then apostatised due to Islam's shortcomings, only to be exposed as frauds. So Muslims should be aware and vigilant about these tactics.
Aal-e-Imran 3:72
وَقَالَت طَّآئِفَةٌ مِّنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ءَامِنُوا۟ بِٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَجْهَ ٱلنَّهَارِ وَٱكْفُرُوٓا۟ ءَاخِرَهُۥ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
English - Sahih International
And a faction of the People of the Scripture say [to each other], "Believe in that which was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day and reject it at its end that perhaps they will return [i.e., abandon their religion],
Thanks for the reminder. Seems like a lot of plans are being made even now that are carried out with short term and long-term goals of turning people away.
