Zakir Naik – Nowhere in the Quran is Iblis called an Angel

Mashallah, our brother Vivek is very learned the Quran. Mashallah,

our Vivek had read the Quran, and I do agree with him, Surya bakhla,

he's calling the verse of the Quran from Surah Baqarah, chapter

number two, verse number before he says, we told to the angels, bow

down. All bow down, except Iblis. This is mentioned not only in

Surah Baqarah. It is mentioned minimum seven times in the Quran,

in Surah Arab, chapter number seven, Surah hijar, chapter number

15, Surah kahar, chapter number 18. Same thing we told to the

angels, bow down. All bow down, except Iblis. So now Iblis

objected.

So from this, we come to know that Iblis, if we read the translation,

we understand, I believe, for the engine, we think. But if you read

in Surah Kahf, chapter number 18, verse number 50, it says that we

asked to the angels, bow down. All bow down, except Iblis. Iblis was

amongst the jinn.

You understand? So I believe for the jinn. Now you tell me brother

Zakir seven. This is Allah said to the angels, bowed on all bowed

down accept one place in the Quran says he was a jinn. So there's a

contradiction, correct? It's a contradiction because this is the

translation in Arabic language. There is a law called as law of

Talib. Talib means if the majority addressed the minority need not be

addressed. For example, if there are 99 doctors and one engineer,

and if I say all doctors stand up,

even that engineer will stand up. Because in the law of Talib, in

Arabic grammar, the majority that dressed minorities, I need not say

all doctors and one engineer stand up. But in English language, if I

say all doctors stand up, only doctors will stand up, that one

engineer will not stand so, nowhere does the Quran say that I

believe was an angel? Nowhere we because of the translation and

lack of Arabic knowledge, we think we assume, many of the Muslims

also assume. But the Quran clarifies, in Surah Kahf, chapter

18, verse number 50, that I believe was a jinn. And jinn, like

the human beings, have a free will. So amongst the angels, there

was one Jinn also present, who was a bliss he was very pious, but his

arrogance that, why should I bow down to Adam? He's made from mud.

I'm made from fire, arrogance that made him disobey Almighty God. He

was a jinn. Even human beings and jinn both have a free will. They

can disobey God. So here they disobey God, and that's the reason

he was taken out, and he is the biggest Satan, and now he tries to

attract the people who are on the path of God, and tries to strike

them from the remembrance Allah subhanaw taala, hope, the answer

is the question. I.
