Say To My Servants That They Should Only Say Those Things That Are Best. For Satan Doth Sow Dissension Among Them .” For Satan Is To Man An Avowed Enemy.” (Quran XVII: 53), According To The Muslim Faith, When The Almighty God Created Adam (The Father Of The Human Progeny) Out Of A Lump Of Clay, And Commanded The Angels To Greet Him With a ‘SIJDA’ (Prostration In Humility), The Satan Hesitated To Obey And Accept Adam As His Superior Because He Claimed His Own Superiority Over Adam By Virtue Of His Age Long Devotion To God And Creation Out Of Fire. His Reluctance To Obey And Bow Before Adam, However, Resulted In His Condemnation And He Was Therefore, Eternally Banished From The Pleasure Of God. Under This Great Humiliating Disappointment, The Satan, However, Pleaded With God That He And His Progeny (The Satan Belongs To The Progeny Of The Genii) May Be Granted An Everlasting Opportunity To Mislead Mankind Into Error And Sin In Order To Test The Devotion Of Adam And His Progeny To God. This Request Was Granted By The Almighty God With The Commandment That Whosoever Followed The Satan’s Path Will Forfeit His Pleasure And That His Abode Will Be In The Fire Of Hell Eternally. To Accept Either Of The Two Options For The Creation Adam And His Progeny, Would Not Have Been In The Best Interests Of Mankind Just Like Illness And Health, Blindness And Clear Vision, Night And Day, Heat And Cold, Good And Evil, And So On.

The First Treacherous Act Of Satan Under This Arrangement Started With The Beguilement Of Adam Himself In The Well-Known Episode Of Eve And The “Forbidden Fruit” Which Resulted In The Banishment Of Both Adam And Eve From The Heavenly Paradise As A Punishment Against God’s Pleasure And Thus The Treachery Of Satan, The Avowed Enemy Of The Progeny Of Adam, Has Continued Throughout The Ages Causing Perpetual Misery Among The Best Majority Of Those People Who Succumb To His Mischievous Allurements In Defiance Of The Commandments Of God, In This Respect There Are Two Kinds Of People In The World, Those Who Follow The Commandants Of God, And Those Who Are Susceptible To The Beguilement Of Satan. There Has Always Been A Mighty Struggle Between The Followers Of Satan And The Believers Of God Ever Since The Creation Of Adam In Which The Latter Have Always Vanquished The Former.
