bliss whose original name some people say it's had other sayings
as as eat isn't his nickname and Paradise became as as it the glory
of Allah Todd and bliss was one that had the most knowledge of all
the jinn and the jinn were placed in the earth originally, but they
wreaked havoc, they really did not fulfill their potential. And so
ALLAH SubhanA, which add a sense, saying that Jibreel Ali Salam, and
a host of angels to fight them to fight these Jen
and from these Genworth some believers, and those believers
joined them in Africa. And they were very few in number and very
few in number. And they continued to help the melodica to force all
the jinn onto the edges of the earth. And he give the image that
the earth at this time was one
landmass and that at the edges of earth were islands, little islands
that had and that's where the, the jinns were pushed to these little
islands to live there. Okay, and to open the landmass to the human
beings okay, that human beings could now live there without
having all these gender
now bliss was rewarded now he's What's he going to do live all
alone? How was on the earth with a few and that some people say that
he had some other gyms with them some followers, he's gonna live
there by himself. Well, how was that a reward. So he was then
taken and taken by Allah to Allah to live in the heavens. And he
lived.
Some of them in the seven some of them in the skies and you notice
that we separate between skies and heavens, there's a big difference
in skies and heavens, the skies are the abodes above us and the
heavens are like the Paradises, okay, which are locked until the
Day of Judgment, until we go into them after they have judgment. So
may Allah make us from its residences.
The skies he lived in the first one, the second the sun lived in
the seventh Sun lived in the sixth and that he was elevated to the
fourth.
And that he was the right next to Gibreel in his position with Allah
Tala.
And that in this situation here,
they were doing things they had jobs, they were living in the sky,
I mean, living in the in the heavens, right, and they had jobs,
and that they work in bliss was considered the highest and
greatest of servants,
to Allah to Allah, that he was worked, he was the best of
worshipers, he was the best of everything. Okay. And that and
that's why the the image that he's the fallen angel, well, he's an
wasn't an angel at all. And this is says very clearly can I mean
that a gin, he was clearly from the gin, and, but he was with
them. And therefore, if you are with a people, the orders given to
those people apply to you. So if I'm not French, I'm just visiting
France. And in order comes that all all the Frenchmen have to rise
in the court, stand for the judge. Even if I'm not a citizen, I have
to do that. Right, the law of the land still applies to me. So
likewise, when Allah ordered the angels,
it means that everyone with the angels must also obey that order,
because you're living in their, this their territory, right? This
this heavens is the abode of angels, you're in there as an
exception, okay, as a junior there as an exception, so you have to
follow it as well. And that's why many people say, is he a jinn or
is he a Angel was very clearly alright can imagine he was a Gen.
And he refused. And we said this earlier is that IBLEES His love
was not for Allah to Allah. They're only he loved Allah.
For him think of himself because Allah was giving him Allah was
pumping up his ego. Allah was pumping him up. So he loved Allah
for the sake of truly for the sake of him his own self. Okay, so this
is someone who
his worship was intermingled and mixed between loving Allah for
Allah sake and loving Allah because Allah keeps giving him and
elevating him. So that's truly why he loves Allah to Allah.
