Subject: Satan and Me: Aren't we alike?


Salaamun 'alaa manittaba'al huda.

Let us ponder on these verses of poem by Jalaluddin Rumi:

When Satan sees, to the left or right, anyone who is perfect, he becomes ill with envy,
for every miserable wretch whose stack has been burnt is unwilling that anyone else's candle should be lighted.
Pay attention, work on perfecting yourself, so that the perfection of others may not grief you.
Beg of God the removal of envy, that God may deliver you from externals, and bestow upon you an inward occupation, which will absorb you so that your attention is not drawn outward.

"the Devil considers Adam as nothing more than clay"

the above statement is based on the following verse from AlQuran:

"Allah berfirman: 'Apakah yang menghalangimu untuk bersujud (kepada Adam) di waktu Aku menyuruhmu'. Menjawab Iblis: 'SAYA LEBIH BAIK DARIPADANYA: ENGKAU CIPTAKAN SAYA DARI API SEDANG DIA ENGKAU CIPTAKAN DARI TANAH". (Al A'raaf 7:12)

If we keep on doing this bad thing in this forum, we are no different from the Devil/Satan. Aren't we alike? Don't you agree with me, Me?

"Mohon ampunlah atas dosamu itu, kerana kamu sesungguhnya termasuk orang-orang yang berbuat salah." (Yusuf 12:29)

Wallaahu 'alam
