In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Shaytaan's Handiwork are Curse on Humanity
By Irshad Mahmood – Director, Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre
O you who believe! Intoxicants (Alcohol, Cocaine, Heroin etc.) and Gambling and Idolatrous practices and Fortunetelling are only an evil/uncleanness, the Shaytaan’s (Iblees the Greatest Devil) handiwork;
shun it therefore that you may be successful. Satan seeks only to cast
among you enmity and hatred by means of strong drink and games of
chance, and to turn you from remembrance of Allah and from (His)
worship. Will you then have done? Obey Allah and obey the messenger,
and beware! But if you turn away, then know that the duty of Our
messenger is only plain conveyance (of the message),
(Al_Quraan_005.090-092).
Shaytaan (Iblees the Greatest Devil),
who is extremely clever, intelligent and experienced (since the time of
Adam), he deviates people from the path of Allah than anyone on this
planet earth. Since you cannot see Shaytaan, so you cannot convince
him, advise him nor beat him nor kill him. Shaytaan's main objective is
deviating people from the Quraan, (Ref: Al_Quraan_002.208, 007.014-018,
035.009, 060.061). May Allah protect us from all evils of Shaytaan and
help us to follow the true path of Allah, AMEEN.
Shaytaan’s Plan is Wiping Humanity - Allah’s Plan is Saving Humanity.
Although
Iblees (Shaytaan) may never ask you to seek refuge of Allah from
Shaytaan, BUT as soon as you stop reciting the Quraan with
understanding or stop practicing the Quraan, he may try to deviate you
from the Quraan, again and again. Shaytaan becomes extremely angry if
anyone tries to understand the Quraan to practice it or practically
following it. Shaytaan always comes as a true friend and tries to prove
you that he is the best friend ever and then intelligently and very
slowly deviates you from the Quraan in a way that you might not
understand and he also try to exploit you to act violently. Shaytaan
may try one to do more and more extra prayers (good actions) or
reciting the Quraan without understanding it, so that you don't know
what you are doing, is it according the Quraan or against the Quraan or
you may get too tired to fulfill other necessary/obligatory (FARD)
commandments of Allah after doing those extra prayers (good actions) or
concentrating only on few commandments while neglecting other
commandments of Allah, etc.
Tricks and Plots of Shaytaan are many and we need to make special Duaa from Allah to protect us and help us to follow the commandments of Allah, AMEEN.
Saving a Life is like Saving the Whole World, (Ref. Al_Quraan_005.032).
True Quraanic Muslims Must Know Demands of the Quraan and follow it in sprit:1> You Must
Believe in the Quraan
otherwise you are welcoming Curse of Allah;
2> You Must
Read the Quraan with understanding/translation
otherwise you are welcoming Curse of Allah;
3> You Must
Understand the Quraan
otherwise you are welcoming Curse of Allah;
4> You Must Practically
Act upon Teachings of the Quraan in spirit
otherwise you are welcoming Curse of Allah;
5> You Must
Convey the Messages and Teachings of the Quraan to others
otherwise you are welcoming Curse of Allah;
True Quraanic Muslims
cannot even think to hurt anyone, so forget about wiping out humanity.
They truly love humanity without any discrimination of Religion, Race,
Sect, Gender, Color, Nationality, Rich, Poor, Young or Old, etc. They
sincerely invite people to serve and protect humanity, since alone no
human can fix it.Strategy/Tricks/Plots/Traps of Shaytaan (Iblees the Greatest Devil):Shaytaan
is an open enemy of all human, whose main objective is to deviate
people from the Quraan, since the time of Adam till the day of judgment
and tries all his efforts which you may or may not imagine, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_002.208, 007.014-018, 007.016-021, 035.009, 060.061).
For your information below are just few guidelines to understand his Great Hidden Traps. Read the Quraan with understanding/translation.
1> Shaytaan's topmost priority is to deviate all people completely from the Quraan.
2>
If Shaytaan fails to deviate completely, then he (Iblees) tries to slow
down on following the commandments of Allah as mentioned in the Quraan,
or at least change the priority of the Quraan as you can see at present
time in the beginning of twenty-first century, still many people give
extremely high priorities to everything, except to understand and
follow the Quraan, Learn Quraanic Arabic Language, which is on their
lowest priority and many people may never ever try to understand the
Quraan. It was the Quraanic Arabic Language in which when Hazrat Umar
Farooq (ra) heard the recitation of the Quraan from his sister and
brother-in-law Saeed bin Zaid and later accepted Islaam. It was the
people of Makkah who used to say don’t listen to the Quraan, rather
make loud noises that no one can hear it, since many people after
sincerely hearing it, became Muslims.
Learning Quraanic Arabic Language is extremely important. Those who oppose Learning Quraanic Arabic Language must repent and ask Allah for forgiveness.
Please don’t give bad examples of Hypocrites and other disbelievers,
rather always give good examples of hundreads of thousands of Sahabas,
who accepted Islaam.
3>
Shaytaan has so intelligently created his trap that it is extremely
difficult for many people to understand, because his moves are in very
small steps and one step at a time. Sometime he (Iblis) tells you the
right thing first to gain confidence on you and you will feel that he
is your true friend and then will take U turn BUT very slowly, in such
a way that you may not understand at all.
4> Shaytaan gets extremely happy when one leaves the Quraan and practices anything except the Quraan.
5> Shaytaan's gets extremely angry when one comes towards the Quraan and practically starts following it.
6>
One of most difficult thing at present time which I feel in doing Dawah
is when one mentions with clear references from the Quraan, people
brings poor and un-authentic Hadeeth or saying of some other scholars
including of the past of their faith and believes that he is the final
authority and ask them and he is the only one who understands the
Quraan. e.g. If you try to explain that in the Quraan where ever it is
mentioned "O' you believe" including in Surah Jumaa chapter-062,
means Men, Women as well as Jinns are also included although we don't
know how is the matter of Jinns, they will say no...no...no ask Dr.
Zakir Naik, he is the only authority over the Quraan, although he had
mentioned several times that he is not and he advised us to check the
Quraan, since the Quraan is the final authority. These people behave
like they have made their scholars their God. This is also a Great Trap
of Shaytaan and is a clear shirk.
7>
Additional difficulties created by Shaytaan in doing Dawah, is
translation and interpretation from all except with the consult of the
scholars of Makkah and Madina of Saudi Arabia. Many times people force
you to believe on fatwa issued by one of the world’s best Islaamic
University, which is outside Saudi Arabia and few of those fatwas may
be against the teaching of the Quraan. I generally recommend people to
ask scholars of Makkah and Madina. All other languages were gone in
which Allah sent all previous scriptures except the Quraan. The
language of the Quraan is Arabic of Makkah and Madina in Saudi Arabia.
Allah has protected the Quraan which was revealed to Prophet Muhammad
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) mostly in Makkah and Madina and few in other cities
around there, where Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) have
travelled, Allah has also protected Arabic Language of Makkah and
Madina in that place. I strongly recommend people to get fatwaas from
Madina University in Saudi Arabia and also verify them all from the
Quraan as well to make sure they don’t fall under the category of
blindly following scholars, which is shirk.
8>
Although Men and women are allowed to do Dawah to each other, of course
by observing the Quraanic Hijaab (Ref: Al_Quraan_009.071), BUT Shaytaan
has deviated this Ummah by enforcing extremely tough Hijaab conditions
on us if one tries to do Dawah, BUT for many other non-islaamic
gathering e.g. National Day celebration, other Non-Islaamic parties
etc., which is against the teaching of the Quraan and almost stopped us
from doing Dawah to large group of women. It will be a great idea to
use technology, e.g. use speakers, computers, internets and other
modern technology etc., for delivering Quraanic Messages. In brief for
doing all other activities e.g. National Day celebration other
Non-Islaamic parties etc., there is not a single issue of Hijaab, BUT
when one wants to do Dawah, they will present thousands of excuses, and
this is also a Great Trap of Shaytaan.
Remember:
All MARRIED women (except war captives) as well as close blood
relatives are forbidden and rest are lawful ONLY for getting marriage
otherwise NOT lawful (Ref: Al_Quraan_004.023-024), so clean your heart
from the Quraan.
9>
People of Saudi Arabia are also human being and so is the scholars from
Saudi Arabia including scholars from Madina University. You must verify
all those fatwaas issued by any scholars including from scholars from
Saudi Arabia, to make sure that they are not against the fundamental
teaching of the Quraan, otherwise you may fall into the trap of
Shaytaan by blindly believing on them, which is shirk.
10>
All women are allowed to work according to the Quraan (Ref:
Al_Quraan_024.030-031), with only exception that Wife of Prophet
Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) had a special instruction to stay inside
home (Ref: Al_Quraan_033.033), which means all other women are allowed
to go out to perform their duties by observing the Quraanic Hijaab,
which includes driving vehicles or travelling in Taxis (Cabs), Trains,
Ships and Aero-planes or on animals etc. It is absolutely possible that
they have to travel with other men, and there is no requirement to
breastfeed them all to legalize, which might create another major
issues when looking for marriage for their kids since all become
mahram, e.g. if in a large Organization/Company there could be tens of
thousands of men working along with women. It is absolutely impossible
to breastfeed all of them by a single woman. Allah told in the Quraan
to clean your mind put your gaze low (Ref: Al_Quraan_033.033). One can
have at most four wives at one time and rest of the women could be like
protector and helper of Deen in a true brotherhood/sisterhood
relationship (Ref: Al_Quraan_009.071). At first you should not
forcefully stop your women (except those women who do lewdness to
others) from going out for performing their duties to help you out,
e.g. driving to pick and drop your kids to and from schools, doing
grocery shopping for you and your family, so that you can freely
concentrate on your creative works, if they are not working lady. If
they are working lady then organize and share the workload, get
additional help from daycare etc. if needed. Also Women must observe
proper Hijaab when going outside, by covering head, chest etc. except
their face like they do at Hajj.
Remember:
all married women as well as close blood relatives other than your
wives are forbidden (Ref: Al_Quraan_004.023-024), so clean your heart
from the Quraan.
Hijaab is a way to interact with opposite sex and respect each other in the Quraanic Way (with face open as Hajj & Umrah).
11>
Shaytaan may encourage one to do adultery, BUT anyone desiring adultery
is out of Islaam due to crossing boundary limit, unless one truly
repents and never ever think to repeat that great sin again (Ref:
Al_Quraan_017.031, 070.031), so clean your heart from the Quraan.
12>
Shaytaan may try to break relations with your relatives, even to bring
excuses of performing good acts, e.g. one may excuse of doing right
Hijaab, so cannot have family or religious talks or even cannot say
Salaam to cousins of opposite gender, due to which many relatives
stopped visiting their own uncles and aunts and this is a real fact
happening now in this society.
13>
Shaytaan makes sins attractive to those who turn away from the Quraan
while they think that they are rightly guided, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_043.036-037).
14>
Shaytaan may deviate you from learning Arabic and present many excuses.
One of the reasons many people not able to concentrate on Salaat
prayers is that their mother tongues are not Arabic. They must learn
Arabic as soon as possible if they can and also help their kids to
learn Arabic. All Masjids must have special mass campaign to teach
Quraanic Arabic Language for free, where there is any group of person
whose mother tongues are not Arabic, since Salaat must be in Arabic and
you cannot understand the Quraan Recitation in Salaat unless you learn
the Arabic Language.
15>
Shaytaan may stop women from going to Masjid for Friday Prayers
(Salaat), by giving references that there is a Hadeeth that it is much
better for women to offer prayers at home. That Hadeeth is only for all
regular five times prayers, BUT Friday Prayers is totally different,
which has a very special speech section (Juma Khutba) which is part of
Juma Prayers, and if one misses Khutba, he/she loses the benefits of
Friday Prayers and there is ONLY one place in the Quraan in Surah
Al-Juma chapter-062, where it is clearly mentioned about Juma Prayers.
Friday Prayers is also a weekly reminder for both women as well as men,
including Jinns, since Allah is saying "O' you believe", which means
men, women as well as Jinns are included.
Remember, during the life of Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him), women were attending all prayers including Fajir and Ishaa Prayers.
16>
Shaytaan may deviate you from the right path by eating your time and
keeping you unnecessary very busy in shopping etc., which you may avoid
by right planning. So you should learn the technique of Organizing
Skills and Time Management Skills to save your time to learn and teach
the Quraanic Message.

You MUST avoid the Great Mistake that you are right and rest are wrong,
that is also a Great Trap of Shaytaan. Be positive and tolerant and
verify all your actions from the Quraan.
18>
Those who breakup into sects and divide their religion, are out of
Islaam and this could be another GREAT trap of Shaytaan (Ref:
Al_Quraan_006.159). Remove all Gaps and Differences to unite this Ummah
by truly following the Quraan and by fairing Allah and do more Positive
Dawah through the Quraan to unite all.
19>
If Shaytaan causes you to forget the commandment of Allah as mentioned
in the Quraan, then do not sit after the remembrance in the company of
those wrong-doers, (Ref: Al_Quraan_006.068).
20> Shaytaan and his followers will be in the Hell-Fire, (Ref: Al_Quraan_007.018).
‘O'
Allah! I seek refuge with You from the whisperings (suggestions) of the
Shayatin (devils). And I seek refuge with You, My Lord! lest they may
attend (or come near) me, (Ref: Al_Quraan_023.097-098), AMEEN.
Muslims
MUST STOP Wastage of Money/Wealth, Mujra, Mushaira, Husnay Qirat,
Mehfil-E-Ghazal, Naat-e-Rasool Maqbool, Falsehoods and Hypocrisies etc.
and they must reflect on the Quraan in sprit.Hypocrites
don’t read translations of the Quraan to understand, if he/she don’t
understand Arabic. Hypocrites don’t encourage to Learn Quraanic Arabic
Language and are Road Blockers. Only Protected Book is the Quraan and all other Books including Hadeeth, Bible, etc. are NOT protected by Allah.Non-Practicing Muslims are like ASS / Donkey carrying books, (Ref: Al_Quraan_062.005).
None argue concerning the revelations (Ayaat) of Allah but those who disbelieve …, (Ref: Al_Quraan_040.004).
