The Arrogance and Pride of Shaitan - Iblees | Sheikh Mansour al Salimi | Al Furqan Productions

Описание: Shaitan rejected one sujood, how many do you reject daily?

Everyone who tries to be arrogant and put himself above others, Allah will bring him down among the lowest of the low, and will humiliate him, because he is going against reality, so Allah will punish him by thwarting his aims; the punishment is to fit the crime.

Allaah the Almighty expelled Iblees from Paradise because he disobeyed Him. He was too haughty to prostrate himself to Aadam (Adam) may Allaah exalt his mention and he considered himself better than Aadam in terms of the substance of creation. Allaah the Almighty Says (what means): {[Allaah] said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?" [Satan] said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."} [Quran 7:12]

Iblees thought that fire is better than clay because of its power to burn and destroy. The comparison is not in his favor, as he thought, because fire’s indifference and recklessness are sufficient to make clay preferable to it, since it is characterized by calmness and general benefit. If fire was better than clay, according to Iblees’ claim, then still he had no authority to hold some creatures of Allaah better than others. Allaah the Almighty Says (what means): {And your Lord creates what He wills and chooses; not for them was the choice. Exalted is Allaah and high above what they associate with Him.} [Quran 28: 68].
