Shaitan from fire.
How can Allah punish Shaitan in Jahannam with
fire? It came from fire. Right?
So, it's a very good question actually. One
of the best questions I received this year.
So the answer is very easy.
And actually this has been answered by some
of the Ulamat.
You know what we were created from
in the Quran?
Basically water
and dust or dirt.
So I told Zia if I take some
water and I sprinkle the water on your
face, will this hurt you? He said no.
And I said if I get some, dust
from the backyard and throw the dust in
your face, will this hurt you? He said
no. And I said if I make a
combination,
water and dust, and I make mud,
and I put it in the sun to
dry up, so I have a brick.
Right? Or in our country's back home, they
take the mud, they put it in the
oven, and it turns into rock or a
brick, a block of brick. Very hard. Right?
And it lasts for 100 of years. No
problem. So if I take this,
the combination of water and mud, and put
it in the sun, and I take it,
and I hit you with it, will it
hurt you?
Yes. Yes. Because it's now a break. It
will hurt you. So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
will punish Shaitan in the same way. Some
say that,
maybe if Shaitan was made of a fire
that is 1,000 Fahrenheit,
then Allah will put him in a fire
that 1,000,000 Fahrenheit.
So when it comes to Allah
ability,
it is something beyond our imagination.
All that Allah
does is to say, Be and it is.
This will answer the question. So now inshaAllah,
the rest of my talk for just 2,
3 minutes, we'll talk about shaitan.
His mission and vision. Right? Because shaitan
has a mission in life, and he has
a vision.
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling us
in the Quran,
Inna shaitana
lin insani
adun mubeen.
The whole job of shaitan in this world
is working 247,
it works overtime,
is always recruiting shayateenat
inswajin.
His mission
is to take as many people as he
can with him to Jahannam, because as they
say in English,
misery loves company. He doesn't want to be
there all by himself, he wants to take
as many people as he can. Nama says
this in Surah Fatim, In Namayadur
Hizbahu
Yaqulumin
Asha Visay. He wants to take a big
group with him
to Jahannam.
When you read in the Quran, He's our
enemy, this is what Allah says very clearly
in the Quran in many places in the
shaytan al ilsang adumu movie. He's our enemy,
and it's not a secret. Everyone knows that
shaytan is your enemy from the beginning till
the end.
Who took Adam
out of Jannah?
Shaytan, Iblis, yes.
Who
whispered to the brothers of Yusuf, so they
kill him?
Shaytan.
Iblis is the name of Shaytan when he
was
in up there before he came down to
earth. So when he came his name became
Shaytan, but before that his name is Iblis.
Who whispered to one of the children of
Adam to kill his brother? Shaytan. Naya. Habil
al Kabir. Shaytan.
Who whispered to the people of Surah
Naml
to make sajdah to the sun instead of
Allah? Shaytan.
Shaytan.
So there's always Shaytan all the time.
And Shaytan does the same trick with us
all the time. He plays some tricks to
get us in trouble.
Like say for example, you are playing
video games,
or maybe you're doing your homework,
and it is time for salah.
Salatul Vahr, and Shaitan will tell you, you
still got time man, 3 hours.
Play more, play more, no problem. Take your
time.
Or I'm trying to wake up for salatul
Fajr
half an hour before sunrise, and Shaitan will
tell you, look man, you still got 30
minutes. You just sleep,
get some rest, you know, because you're tired.
You know, you're not my buddy.
You know, I love you. So sleep a
little bit more, 15, 20 minutes, and I
will wake you up just in time, 10
minutes before sunrise, you pray, Talas.
Sure enough, you wake up at 10:30 in
the morning,
because shaitaan is good at letting people down,
and this is mentioned all over the Quran.
So,
his trick is to tell you,
that you still have lots of time.
When we do something wrong,
say for example you're 15 or 17,
shaitan will tell you when you think of
making tawba or doing the right thing, shaitan
will tell you, you're still young, do whatever
you want,
and before you die, like 5 minutes before
you die go to Umrah, make Hajj, you
know, make Tawba, kalas. You okay good men?
Now if you are 35, Shaitan Watul, you
know you're still young because your mom
passed away when she was 75. You still
have time? You still have like 40 years,
man?
Now you're 95,
and Shaitan will tell you, you are still
young.
95,
man. No hair,
no teeth, the cane, you can hardly see
anything.
You're still young. So Shaytan is always playing
this game with you. You are still young.
I think some of you, or many of
you still remember brother Burhan from last year.
Yeah. In college, he was only 12 years
old. 12.
Not 75,
not 95.
So young people die and old people die.
So there are no guarantees. When your time
comes, you go. Right? So always keep this
in in your mind that,
you can go anytime.
The second trick,
Shaitan will tell you if you're doing something
bad, something wrong,
he will tell you you're not doing anything.
Right? You stole the pencil from your friend's
back,
Everyone else is a thief.
People steal not a pencil, they steal 1,000
of dollars, they steal cars, there are thieves
chores.
So your sin is very tiny compared to
other people. This is how shaitan will tell
you. Right?
You pray 2, 3 times a day, 3
namaz,
and you don't do maghrib or esha, right?
What is the big deal? This is what
Shaytan will tell you, and he'll say, I
know, Shaytan will say, and he will give
you statistics, if you're academic in the way
he whispers.
There are many people who don't pray at
all, 0, nothing. You pray 2 salah, dor
and as when you are at the school,
then when you go home you don't pray
at all, You're still good man, you're good.
There are people who don't pray at all.
This is how shaitan will resonate with you.
The third one, and the last one for
today, another trick of shaitan, he will tell
you,
after you have done a lot of bad
things, he'll tell you, Look
man, hopeless case, you have done a lot
of terrible things.
You lied, you cheated, you did this, you
did that.
I don't think Allah will forgive you. You
just keep doing whatever you're doing because,
hopeless case. Khalas.
And this is another thing, another mistake that
we do. If you think that your mistake
is bigger than the mercy of Allah, this
is a terrible thing. Because no, no matter
how big our sins are, they are not
bigger than the mercy of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. As long as we are sincere, and
we come back to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
we have mikhlas, he will forgive us. So
don't let shaydah play all these tricks on
you.
Always say, awwdulayim nas shaytaarajeem. We ask Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala for forgiveness,
and we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to
keep us on the salatul wustakim, give us
yidayah, give us the best in this life,
and the best in the life to come.
And we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to
bless you and your families, and protect you.
We'll see you tomorrow.
