1-
Satan in Islam:
Satan is both plural and singular. There is the curse satan (singular),
who was a being from the Jinn. See the Noble Verses below, and also read about
the
story of Adam
in the Glorious Quran. And there are satans in the universe who are evil
and cursed (Noble Quran 15:17, 37:7, 2:14, 21:82, 19:83).
Satan in Islam is not the same satan in the Bible (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). The Satan of Islam was a "Jinn", created from fire as all Jinns were and still are. Angels were and still are created from light. While
Angels and Jinns are considered "Angels" in Islam, because they were created
from the same material (fire is light, and light is fire), but Jinns are lower than the
Angels, because Jinns are like humans; they do sin, while the Angels are perfect and
Sinless. The similarity between Angels and Jinns is like the similarity between
humans and animals. Created from almost the same material, but two different WORLDS.
We also have "human-angels" V.S. evil and bad ones. For more details, please visit:
The Bible's "Fallen Angels" are the Noble Quran's
"Jinns". Jinns are Angels in the Noble Quran.
Anyway, satan's original name in the Noble Quran was Iblis. Let us look at the following Noble Verses from the Noble Quran:
1- Adam was first created on Earth: "Behold, thy Lord
said to the Angels: 'I will create a vicegerent on earth.'...(The
Noble Quran, 2:34)"
2- Iblis became Satan: "Behold! We said to the Angels,
'Bow down to Adam': they bowed down except Iblis. He was One of the Jinns, and he
broke the Command of his Lord....(The Noble Quran, 18:50)"
"It is We Who Created you and gave you shape; then We bade
the Angels bow down to Adam, and they bowed down; not so Iblis; he refused to be of those
who bow down. (Allah) said: 'What prevented thee from bowing down when I commanded
thee? He said: 'I am better than he: Thou didst create me from fire, and him from
clay. (Allah) said: 'Get thee down from this: it is not for thee to be arrogant
here: get out, for thou art of the meanest (of creatures). He said: 'Give me respite
till the day they are raised up. (Allah) said: 'Be thou amongst those who have
respite.' He said: 'Because thou hast thrown me out of the Way, lo! I will lie in
wait for them on thy Straight Way: Then will I assault them from before them and behind
them, from their right and their left: Nor wilt Thou find, in most of them, gratitude (of
Thy mercies).' (Allah) said: 'Get out from this, disgraced and expelled. If
any of them follow thee - Hell will I fill with you all. (The Noble Quran, 11-18)"
3- Iblis was a Jinn who was raised and lived with the Angels. He is a powerful Jinn,
and Allah Almighty loved him so much that He treated him like an Angel, until Iblis broke
Allah Almighty's Commands and turned into Satan and was expelled with disgrace from the
Group of the Angels and from Paradise.
4- All beings in all of the universes, including
our flesh and blood, that follow the
cursed satan become satan. This is the definition of the plural satan in
the Glorious Quran (Quran 15:17, 37:7, 2:14, 21:82, 19:83).
5- Satan has no authority over anyone.
Yourself decides on which route to take. Satan's snare is little, and he has no
authority over you:
[014:022] And Satan will
say when the matter is decided: "It was God Who gave you a promise of Truth: I
too promised, but I failed in my promise to you. I had no authority over
you except to call you but ye listened to me: then reproach not me, but
reproach your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to
mine. I reject your former act in associating me with God (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). For wrong-doers there
must be a grievous penalty."
[004:076] Those who
believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the
cause of Taghoot (Satan, etc.). So fight you against the friends of Shaitan
(Satan); Ever feeble indeed is the plot of Shaitan (Satan).
Purify yourself with Islam and being genuine with Allah Almighty, and don't
play games with your salvation: [087:014]
Successful has been the one who purified himself!
2- Satan in the Bibles:
Jews and Christians assume that Satan was an Angel, even though the Bible never
directly claimed that Satan was actually an Angel. Also, the Bible never really
talked about how Satan became bad and why? At least the Bible never actually talked
about Satan during Adam and Eve's times. Aside from the brief story of Eve's temptation to eat the forbidden fruit, it began talking about Satan, in good details, during Ezra's
and then latter Job's (Ayyoob in Arabic) period, 1000's of years after Adam.
Let us look at the first occurrence of Satan in the Bibles:
"Satan rose up against Israel and incited David
to take a census of Israel. So David said to Joab and the commanders of
the troops, 'Go and count the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan. Then report back to me so
that I may know how many there are.' (From the NIV
Bible, 1 Chronicles 21:1-2)"
It is assumed that Ezra was the author of the books of Chronicles in the Bible as
discussed in the "Are the books of Chronicles really
valid?" section below.
Let us look at little more details about Satan, where he is assumed (without real
facts) to be an Angel by the Jews and Christians:
"One day the angels came to present themselves before the
LORD, and Satan also came with them. The LORD said to Satan,
"Where have you come from?" Satan answered the LORD, "From roaming through
the earth and going back and forth in it." Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have
you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is
blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil." "Does Job fear
God for nothing?" Satan replied. "Have you not put a hedge around him and
his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his
flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. But stretch out your hand and
strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face." The LORD
said to Satan, "Very well, then, everything he has is in your hands, but on the man
himself do not lay a finger." Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
One day when Job's sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest
brother's house, a messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing and the
donkeys were grazing nearby, and the Sabeans attacked and carried them off. They put the
servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!"
While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, "The fire of God fell
from the sky and burned up the sheep and the servants, and I am the only one who has
escaped to tell you!" While he was still speaking, another messenger came and
said, "The Chaldeans formed three raiding parties and swept down on your camels and
carried them off. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has
escaped to tell you!" While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came
and said, "Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest
brother's house, when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four
corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead, and I am the only one who
has escaped to tell you!" At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his
head. Then he fell to the ground in worship. (From the
NIV Bible, Job1:6-20)"
Jews and Christians assume that Satan was an Angel from Job 1:6.
Notice in that verse, Satan was not really identified as an Angel. It says
that GOD Almighty called upon the Angels, and that Satan came with them. He could've
been anything other than the Angels, a Jinn for instance as Islam claims, and pushed
himself with the crowd of the Angels. "
Job 1:6 does not explicitly say that Satan was an Angel. This
is only a Jewish-Christian assumption. Notice how it says "and
Satan also came with them", which clearly proves that Satan does not
necessarily have to be an Angel.
Also notice in Job 1:8, "Have you considered my servant
Job?", which clearly shows that the earliest information the Bible has about
Satan was not during Adam and Eve's times, but as I said above during Ezra's and then
latter Job's times, which literally came 1000's of years after Adam and Eve.
As I said above, the Bible lacks a great deal of information about Satan's history,
especially during Adam's times. The Noble Quran is far more accurate about
explaining who Satan is than the Bible (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him).
3- Are the Bible's Books of Chronicles really valid?
I would like to show you from the NIV Bible's Theologians' and Historians' commentary a
sample about how most of the Bible's books are corrupt, unreliable, and their authors' are
mysterious. They are definitely not the True Words of GOD Almighty. The
commentary about the books of Chronicles is listed with the examples below.
Note: The NIV Bible Book's
information (Bibliography) is listed in the following link.
"Although, according to tradition, Samuel wrote the book, authorship
is actually uncertain."
"The date of the composition is also unknown, but it was
undoubtedly during the monarchy."
(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 322).
Another book with many doubts had been inserted into the Bible (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). How much more
evidence do you need to be convinced that the Bible is corrupted, or to say the least, not
a perfect book?
The book of Ruth:
"The author is unknown. Jewish tradition
points to Samuel, but it is unlikely that he is the author because the mention of David
(4:17,22) implies a later date. (From the NIV Bible
Commentary, page 360)"
Same as above.
The books of 1 and 2 Samuel:
"Many questions have arisen pertaining to the literary
character, authorship and date of 1,2 Samuel."
"Who the author was cannot be known with certainty
since the book itself gives no indication of his identity."
(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 368).
Again, unknown books with unknown authors had been inserted into the Bible and are now
considered GOD's Revelations. What a joke! Since when do we consider man-made
stories and narrations as GOD's Revelations?
The books of 1 and 2 Kings:
"There is little conclusive evidence as to the identity of
the author of 1,2 Kings."
"Whoever the author was, it is clear that
he was familiar with the book of Deuteronomy."
(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 459).
Again, another unknown books with unknown authors had corrupted the Bible (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him).
The books of 1 and 2 Chronicles:
"According to ancient Jewish tradition, Ezra wrote
Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah (see Introduction to Ezra: Literary Form and Authorship), but
this cannot be established with certainty. (From
the NIV Bible Commentary, page 569)"
Again, another doubtful nonsense had been considered to be GOD's Revelations.
The book of Esther:
"Although we do not know who wrote the book of
Esther, from internal evidence it is possible to make some inferences about the
author and the date of composition. (From the NIV Bible
Commentary, page 707)"
How can we even trust the contents of the so-called Book of Job? As I mentioned
above, according to the Theologians and Historians of the NIV Bible, most of the Books and
Gospels of the Bible were corrupted and tampered with by man. Let us look at what
they said about the validity of the Book of Job:
Note: The NIV Bible Book's
information (Bibliography) is listed in the following link.
"Although most of the book consists of the words of Job and
his counselors, Job himself was not the author."
"The unknown author probably had access to
oral and/or written sources...."
(From the NIV Bible commentary, page 722).
Ironically, the book is named as "The book of Job", but yet, Job was not the
author, and no one in this world knows who wrote the book. Today, it is considered
GOD's Revelations.
It's quite pathetic to consider unknown people as GOD's Messengers and attribute their
work to GOD's real Messengers.
It's obvious that like most of the Bible's book and gospels, the Book of Job had been
lost.
Hadith Bukhari (2:245)
Number:245. Narrated 'Abdullah :
A person was mentioned before the Prophet (peace be upon him) and he was told that he
had kept on sleeping till morning and had not got up for the prayer. The
Prophet said, "Satan urinated in his ears."
Hadith Bukhari (4:516)
Number:516. Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "If anyone of you rouses from sleep and performs the
ablution, he should wash his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it
out thrice, because Satan has stayed in the upper part of his nose all the
night."
Hadith Bukhari (4:509)
Number:509. Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Yawning is from Satan and if anyone of you yawns, he
should check his yawning as much as possible, for if anyone of you (during
the act of yawning) should say: 'Ha', Satan will laugh at him."
Hadith Bukhari (2:243)
Number:243. Narrated Abu Huraira
Allah's Apostle said, "Satan puts three knots at the back of the head of any
of you if he is asleep. On every knot he reads and exhales the following
words, 'The night is long, so stay asleep.' When one wakes up and remembers
Allah, one knot is undone; and when one performs ablution, the second knot
is undone, and when one prays the third knot is undone and one gets up
energetic with a good heart in the morning; otherwise one gets up lazy and
with a mischievous heart."
Hadith Muslim (1:634)
Number:634. Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) as saying: "Do not eat with your left hand, because Satan eats
and drinks with his left hand.''
[Muslim].
Some people on answering-Islam are using some hadiths like above for making them
ridiculous. There are more hadiths like this like one telling Satan sleeps under
your dirty nails, so you should cut them. The hadith starts with a false assumption:
"Iblis is the Islamic name for Satan. " (according to answering-Islam team)
In fact Iblis is the Arabic translation for Devil. Sheytan is Arabic translation
for Satan. However Iblis is a jinn and not the same as the fallen angel of the
christians. And I will show that the concept they have of Satan is not the same as the
Islamic one neither.
Who is or what is Satan?
The base for thinking is their image of Satan, assuming that the Islamic Satan is the
same as the Christian “monster” with horns and wings. The Islamic Satan is
different and so is the Jewish one. In Christianity Satan is the Devil. But in Islam
Satan can be the Devil (Iblis) or some evil person or a synonym of general evil. In
Islam Iblis (Devil) is sometimes used as personification of evil but certainly not always.
Islamic Satan is often a synonym of evil. Even today some Muslims call USA
the big Satan, would you accuse them for thinking USA is the horned winged
“monster”? Here are some verses from Quran showing how Satan of Quran is
not always Iblis:
4:76 Those who believe fight in the
cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith Fight in the cause of Evil: So fight ye against
the friends of Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan.
28:15 And he entered the city at a
time when its people were not watching: and he found there two men fighting,- one of his
own religion, and the other, of his foes. Now the man of his own religion appealed to him
against his foe, and Moses struck him with his fist and made an end of him. He said:
"This is a work of Evil (Satan): for he is an enemy that manifestly
misleads!"
Surah (Chapter) 114.
1. Say: I seek refuge with the Lord and Cherisher of Mankind,
2. The King (or Ruler) of Mankind,
3. The Allah (for judge) of Mankind,-
4. From the mischief of the Whisperer (of Evil), who withdraws (after his whisper),-
5. (The same) who whispers into the hearts of Mankind,-
6. Among Jinns and among men.
So we can see Satan is synonym of evil and can be both among men as jinns. So
what is the meaning of the hadith(s)?
Some hadiths put the link between Satan and unhygienic acts or unmannered acts.
Like using the right hand for both eating and shaking hands as unhygienic acts.
First we have to know that dirt is called evil, and who will disagree with it nowadays?
Bad manners are called evil too. So in trying to understand the hadiths it would be
good if u replaced Satan with evil since they are synonyms in some cases.
So is it surprising for a prophet (who is known to be talking in metaphors and examples
many times) 1500 years ago to teach barbarian Arabs good morals and hygiene by metaphors
and examples? In fact, by first warning them about Iblis and say Iblis is a
personification of Satan (evil) it was a very good way to use Satan in reminding them of
good morals, manners and about hygiene.
Why make trouble?
When a teacher calls his student something and he gets no answer, a teacher can say:
“you have garbage in your ear !”. After this NO ONE would think the teacher
really believed the student had garbage in his ear. But sadly some people are
searching for points to make the prophet look ignorant. They take the literal
meaning of words where it is obvious that they should be taken metaphorically. Such
people can hardly be taken serious.
6- Conclusion:
Satan in Islam is different than Satan in the Bible (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). The Bible lacks a great deal of
information about Satan's history with GOD Almighty and Adam (Mankind's first creation). The Bible's Books of 1 Chronicles and Job that talk about Satan are an unreliable and
very doubtful and corrupted books. Their contents can not in anyway be considered as
the True Living Words of GOD Almighty. Therefore, we can not trust any of the
Bible's claims about Satan.

call America and the West "Great Satan"?
Allah Almighty also promised in several Divine Prophecies that He will show the Glorious Quran's Miracles to mankind. For example:
1- The root letters for "message" and all of its derivatives occur 513times throughout the Glorious Quran. Yet, the Prophets' and Messengers' actual names (Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all mentioned 513 times in the Glorious Quran. See detailed listing here.
Coincidence? See 1,000s of examples! [1]. (zip file).
2- Allah Almighty said that Prophet Noah lived for
950 years. Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah (chapter Noah) is exactly written in 950 Letters. You can thoroughly see the accurate count in the scanned images.
3- Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran said that earth is: - Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1]. - Is rotating around itself. - Is moving in space in curvy orbits [2]. - Is traveling through the constantly expanding universe [3].
"When the sky disintegrates, and turns rose colored like paint (وردة كالدهان)." (The Noble Quran, 55:37) [2] [3]
As we also see from the picture, Noble Verse 55:37 is a Divine Promise (Allah promised to show mankind) that mankind will actually see this come to pass one day. NASA and other space agencies, by Allah Almighty's Will, have certainly fulfilled this Prophecy, because a natural rose wouldn't form when a "Heaven" or a Solar System or even an entire galaxy and its trillions of solar systems all blow up (explode). It is rather the look of it, and this is exactly what NASA confirms.
Quran: All Bibles are mostly of corrupt [1]قول (Quran 10:94 and 10s others discussed). See also the 39+ members of trinity. Jesus called every believer a Muslim in Luke 6:40.
"I cannot do anything on my own." (i.e., Jesus could not perform a single Miracle without GOD sending it down to him first!). I can not perform a single Miracle on my own!! I am totally POWERLESS without Allah Almighty!
John 5:31 "if I (Jesus) bear witness of myself, then I would be a liar!"
GOD didn't talk this way when He spoke to Moses. GOD's testimony alone is always sufficient! Jesus also bowed his face down to the ground, like we Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name, and sons and daughters of GOD titles will be "no more"; ; Jesus called every believer a Muslim in
Luke 6:40) Muslims do everyday, and prayed to GOD Almighty.
