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.
