The Covenant of God with Iblis (satan)<\/h1>\n

Discerning \u0627\u0644\u0631\u062d\u0645\u0646 \u00a0\u201c\u2026\u00a0 the Bi-Merciful \u2026\u201d (Continued)<\/h4>\n

The three Covenants between God and Iblis, concerning<\/h3>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>The Exiled Angels<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>The Humans<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>The Prophets<\/span><\/p>\n

The first Covenant, concerning the Exiled Angels (7:11-18)<\/h3>\n

The verses (7:11-18)<\/span> that refer to the first Covenant (2:31-32-33)<\/span> in the last (<\/span>Al-FurQan<\/em><\/a> Chapter 15)<\/span> coincide with the expiration of the respite Granted to the seduced angels for prostration to Adam! The first Covenant takes place in the High heavens and in the presence of all the angels, the sinful and the faithful, all together. On this occasion, naturally, Adam is absent from the scene, and his absence or distance is pointed out in the way God Calls Adam (2:33): \u201cO Adam.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In this set of verses, the first confession of Iblis to his crime takes place in front of the angels only. Iblis is debased and demoted (under each verse, the explanation is given)<\/span>. Therefore, the contents of these verses are the words exchanged between God and Iblis, and the respite asked by Iblis, \u201cuntil the day they are raised up\u201d (verse 14)<\/span>, concerns the revenge of Iblis on his own group and crowd, the seduced angels present there with him on the occasion (who followed him at first, but then repented)<\/span>. Although they had repented, they were to be exiled temporarily, in order to wipe the sin (pollution)<\/span> out of their system, down on Earth. He promised to take his revenge by seducing his group again (7:11-18)<\/span>.<\/p>\n

7:11 \u201cIn fact, We Created you, then Gave you shape, then Said to the angels to prostrate for Adam, so they prostrated except Iblis, he refused to be of those who prostrated.\u201d<\/p>\n

(11)<\/span> In this verse, the title and the issue of the event is recalled.<\/p>\n

7:12 \u201cHe (God)<\/span> Said, \u2018What prevented you from prostrating when I Ordered you?\u2019 He said, \u2018I am better than he, You Created me from fire and Created him from clay.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

(12)<\/span> This is the first time that All\u2019h Questions Iblis concerning his revolt. The point to be noted in this verse is that the name (of Iblis)<\/span> is not proclaimed. In other words, \u201cO Iblis\u201d does not prefix the question, this indicates that the Speaker and the spoken to are in proximity of One another.<\/p>\n

The Arabic word for \u201cto prostrate\u201d means \u201cto accept and acknowledge the priority.\u201d It does not necessarily entail the actual physical posture of falling down and touching the ground with the forehead, unless it is prefixed by the Arabic word for \u201cfalling to prostration\u201d (7:120)<\/span>. The angels\u2019 acknowledgement of prostration occurred in proximity to God and a far distance from Adam. This explains why you never see the word \u201cfalling\u201d into prostration for angels, but (<\/span>fagha\u2019oo)<\/span> = \u201cBefall, occur, happen\u201d in a position of prostration, being respectful (15:29)<\/span> (Please excuse the repetition of certain things, that due to ages of false ideas about some words, cause deviation and ambiguity in some statements. It is wiser to remind once too often than not enough.)<\/span><\/p>\n

7:13 \u201cHe Said, \u2018Then, falloff (decline)<\/span> from it, it is not for you to be arrogant in it, get out. For you are of the (eternal)<\/span> debased ones.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

(13)<\/span> Iblis is debased from his position and rank, for the first time, in front of all the angels.<\/p>\n

7:14 \u201cHe said, \u2018Give me Respite till day they are raised up.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

(14) Why \u201ctill day they are raised up\u201d instead of just Day of the Resurrection (<\/span>Youm Al-Ghiama)<\/span>? The reason is that these two Events are not exactly the same. Day they are raised up concerns different events happening at the era of the end of the world, such as the raising up of the <\/span>jinn, precisely in this verse, the raising up of Man from death, the raising up of the three Messengers (surah 36)<\/span> for their mission, and the raising up of some people after death (21:95, 96, 97)<\/span>. All these events happen in the era of the end of the world (from now on, beginning with the Event of the second Opening of <\/span>the<\/span> Qur\u2019an<\/em>, till the End, year 2280)<\/span>.<\/p>\n

7:15 \u201cHe (God)<\/span> Said, \u2018Be you of those who have Respite.\u201d<\/p>\n

(15)<\/span> God Grants respite to Iblis to take revenge on his own kind.<\/p>\n

7:16 \u201c(Iblis)<\/span> said, \u2018As You Tricked me, I will lie in wait for them on Your Straight Path.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

(16)<\/span> The \u201cStraight Path\u201d of God, Being the same for jinn and Man, is the Path leading to God, Straight without deviation of idolatry, to the Highest Heaven.<\/p>\n

7:17 \u201cThen will I assault them, from before them and behind them, from their rights and from their lefts, and You will not Find most of them grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n

(17) The \u201crights and \u2026 lefts,\u201d being plural, refer to the two Easts and two Wests of the two (parallel) planets (55:17) of jinn and Man. Planet Earth is \u201cegg shaped\u201d (79:30) (and not round), according to science. After a certain time, the planet will be reversed, east becoming west, west becoming east. Moreover, referring to 37:166 \u201cAnd we are in fact the celebrators of praise,\u201d<\/span> the act of glorifying and praising the Lord is attributed to angels. Angels being made of Energy of God, the act of praising and thanksgiving charges their Energy. It is their provision (just as for us, acknowledgement of Blessings of God, multiplies the Blessings). And in 39:75 \u201cAnd you will see the angels encompassing all around the Throne praising the Glory of their Lord it is decreed between them in justice and they are saying, \u2018Praise to All’h, Lord of the people of the world.\u2019\u201d<\/span> It concerns the group of angels\/jinn whose conviction to the Lord has been proven in the world. Now they are back to High Heaven, glorifying and praising, as they used to. The sentence (7:17) \u201c\u2026 and You will not Find most of them thanksgiving,\u201d<\/span> refers to those angels\/jinn who will not make their way up and remain on Earth\/Hell.<\/p>\n

7:18 \u201cHe Said, \u2018Get out from this, disgraced and exiled (driven to a distance)<\/span>, any of them (angels\/jinn)<\/span> following you, Hell will I Fill with you all.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

(18)<\/span> Here it becomes evident that the spoken-to is Iblis and the unappreciative angels of Iblis\u2019s homogeny, who were present when Ordered to descend. In the sentence, \u201c\u2026 Hell will I Fill with you all,\u201d<\/span> the word \u201cyou all,\u201d refers to Iblis and his kind, gathered all there in close vicinity to God. The way to seduce jinn and Man for satan is nearly the same, and we can only distinguish the differences by these small details.<\/p>\n

The Second Covenant and Second Confession of Iblis concerning Mankind
\n(15:26-43)<\/h3>\n

The contents of these verses are directed specifically to Man. This time, contrary to the preceding set of verses, it contains more information about Iblis\u2019s crime, information which only mankind was not aware of. Hence, I draw your attention to them. The difference between this set of verses (15:26-43)<\/span>, and the preceding ones (7:11-18)<\/span> is that in these, the contemptibility and expulsion of Iblis that occurred only in the presence of the angels (7:13)<\/span> is not mentioned, as it has no direct connection to mankind, as they were absent at that occasion.<\/p>\n

15:26 \u201cAnd in fact We Created Man of sounding clay, of aged (stagnant, black)<\/span> mud.\u201d<\/p>\n

15:27 \u201cAnd the J\u00e2an (angels)<\/span> We had Created them before, from the fume (tempest)<\/span> of fire.\u201d<\/p>\n

(26-27)<\/span> The title is repeated, and for the first time, information is detailed about the Creation of Man (clay, aged mud.)<\/span> Facts to be discovered in our time by science, proving the veracity of the Qur’an<\/em>. Plus, the information for humankind about the Creation of <\/span>j\u00e2an \u201cangels\u201d that has occurred before their own.<\/span><\/p>\n

15:28 \u201cAnd when your Lord Said to the angels, \u2018I Am (in the process of)<\/span> Creating a human of sounding clay, of aged (stagnant, black)<\/span> mud.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

(28)<\/span> In this verse, the important information (apart from the kind of mud in which Man was created)<\/span> is for Man to know that his Creation has been through processes and evolution (and not just by a fairy-wand)<\/span>.<\/p>\n

15:29 \u201cWhen I have Proportioned (Equaled)<\/span> him, and Breathed into him of My Spirit, then befall prostrating for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

(29)<\/span> In this verse, for the first time God Reveals to the angels that He has Blown of His Spirit into Man. (Humans are the only Creatures holding the Spirit of God.)<\/span> This being the reason of the priority of humans over the angels, now the angels know that they owe humankind prostration (the right of priority and respect)<\/span>. The word used with \u201cprostrating\u201d in here is \u201c<\/i>befall\u201d meaning \u201cestablish\/occur.\u201d<\/p>\n

15:30 \u201cSo all the angels prostrated, the whole lot of them,\u201d<\/p>\n

(30)<\/span> In this verse, at last the angels become aware of the reason for the priority of humans over themselves. They all, the submitted and the rebelled ones, have prostrated. This is the reason for the sentence \u201cthe whole lot of them\u201d being well specified.<\/p>\n

15:31 \u201cBut not so Iblis, he refused to be amongst those who prostrated.\u201d<\/p>\n

(31)<\/span> In this verse, the rebellion of Iblis, his refusal to honor the Spirit of God in Man is in a separate verse, although it makes part of the preceding one. This indicates the importance of the sentence for humankind to keep in mind as a whole, individual verse.<\/p>\n

15:32 \u201cHe Said, \u2018O Iblis, what is it that you are not among those who prostrated?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

(32)<\/span> In this verse, there are two points that clarify the difference with 1st Covenant:<\/p>\n

7:12 \u201cHe Said, \u2018What prevented you from prostrating when I Ordered you?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In verse 32, Iblis is spoken to in proclamation (O Iblis), meaning he is at a far distance and no longer in the vicinity close to God. The issue of the first Covenant with angels \u2014 up in Heaven \u2014 is past at this occasion.<\/li>\n
  2. God\u2019s Question to Iblis is put in a different way just to show a different situation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    15:33 \u201cHe said, \u2018I am not one to prostrate to a human, whom You Created from sounding clay, from aged mud\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    (33)<\/span> In this verse, the word \u201chuman\u201d is particularly mentioned, and in the Qur’an<\/em> this is the second confession of Iblis to his rebellion.<\/p>\n

    15:34 \u201cHe Said, \u2018Therefore get out of it (rank and place)<\/span> for you are being stoned (expelled)<\/span>.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    (34)<\/span> The word stoned<\/i> relates only to mankind and the material world. It is a must for humankind to remember the fact that satan is to be stoned and driven away, as having been also expelled by God (also symbolically ritualized in Mecca)<\/span>.<\/p>\n

    15:35 \u201cAnd the curse (of humans)<\/span> shall be on you till Day of the Religion.\u201d<\/p>\n

    (35)<\/span> This verse is about humans cursing satan, till the appearance of \u201cthe Religion\u201d (Religion of the Creator\/All\u2019h)<\/span> that clarifies all about satan, indicating the Straight Path of God (and the ending era of the world)<\/span> for all people of the world.<\/p>\n

    15:36 \u201cHe said, \u2018My Lord, then Give me Respite till Day they are raised;\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    (36)<\/span> Referring to humans to be raised, the word \u201cthen\u201d in this verse, indicates a repetition.<\/p>\n

    15:37 \u201cHe Said, \u2018Respite is Granted to you,\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    (37)<\/span> Respite is also Granted for revenge against man.<\/p>\n

    15:38 \u201cTill Day of the time (everything be)<\/span> known\u201d<\/p>\n

    Such a time refers to the period of time when science would make everything known for people, informing them about the right and wrong concerning their inner and outer world, moreover, by informing the mathematical Proof of the authenticity of the Qur’an<\/em>, people willingly or compellingly, must believe the Existence of God, hence through His Word, concerning satan, angels and jinn.<\/p>\n

    15:39 \u201c(Iblis)<\/span> said, \u2018My Lord, as You Tricked me, I will adorn for them on the Earth, tricking the whole lot of them,\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    (39)<\/span> To be seduced and tricked by the worldly adornments also is only attributed to mankind.<\/p>\n

    15:40 \u201cExcept those among your servants\/worshipers, devoting (the worship)<\/span> to You Alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

    (40)<\/span> This phrase, again being put in an individual verse, although belonging to the preceding one is the most important information for humankind to keep in mind. The only way to avoid being tricked by satan is to devote their worship only to God Alone (without associating prophets, imams and saints or other worldly idols)<\/span>.<\/p>\n

    15:41 \u201c(All\u2019h)<\/span> Said, \u2018This indeed is a Way leading straight to Me.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    15:42 \u201cAs to My servants\/worshipers, no authority shall you have over them, except the seduced ones who follow you;\u201d<\/p>\n

    (41-42)<\/span> These verses let us know that satan has no controlling power over us unless we allow ourselves to be overpowered by him to go astray.<\/p>\n

    15:43 \u201cAnd truly Hell is the Promised place for the whole lot of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

    (43)<\/span> In this verse, \u201cthe whole lot of them\u201d refers to mankind.<\/p>\n

    Conclusion: the verses in surah 15 inform us that the three Day\/period\/era, mentioned in the Qur\u2019an<\/em>, Day they are raised, Day of the Religion, and Day of the time (everything)<\/span> known are contemporaneous. The interpreters and translators of the Qur’an<\/em> up to now have considered all the three Days as the Day of Resurrection\/Judgment Day \u2014 Youm Alghiama, but this is not so. The words \u201cDay of the Resurrection\u201d already exist in the Qur’an<\/em> in (17:62)<\/span> and scientific proof was presented earlier (refer Al-FurQan<\/em><\/i> Chapter 13)<\/span> that two different words having exactly the same meaning is nonexistent in the Qur\u2019an<\/em><\/i>. It is absurd to think that God would Use words simply to confuse us.<\/p>\n

    What is the purpose of mentioning three different Days, when most certainly God\u2019s changing Words are NEVER without reason? We get our answers by digging into the meaning of these three statements deeply. This information is of fundamental importance to the people of our time. The following includes some explanations regarding the three Days.<\/p>\n

    1. Day of the Religion<\/h3>\n

    First it is specified the Religion, and not any religion. \u201cDay,\u201d aside from meaning \u201cperiod and era,\u201d also means \u201cenlightening, manifest, evident, clearness, daylight.\u201d The essential meaning of the Religion is \u201cuniversal Law,\u201d the General Rule and Order that regulates the very essence of all things, in other words \u201cthe Way Advised by the Creator for the functioning system of all things.\u201d<\/p>\n

    This \u201cDay\u201d is the Period\/era of time when people would become enlightened by knowledge about the only Religion, the Religion of the Creator, the One that has Created everything and Knows the Rules and Religion for everything (as no one but God has ever created anything, not even a fly)<\/span>. The best Admonishment for humans\u2019 wellbeing and health (of body and soul)<\/span>. The enlightenment of the Religion coincides with the manifestation of all sorts of rebellions, perturbations and diseases of Man\u2019s inner and outer worlds. In the light of Knowledge, humans clearly see the outcome of rejecting God\/Creator\u2019s Rules\/Religion. Since such a Day concerns humanity, it is brought up in surahs 15 and 38<\/span>, and not in surah 7, concerning the angels\/jinn.<\/p>\n

    2. Day of the time (everything becomes) known<\/h3>\n

    This \u201cDay\u201d points to the time of people\u2019s acquisition of science and knowledge, shedding light on all unknown things (i.e., The recent scientific discovery of the String theory\/the theory of Everything)<\/span>. Today we are living in such a Day. All the discoveries of science of our time have not only brought knowledge about \u00a0\ufdf2 \u201cAll\u2019h\u201d the Four forces of the Creation and our Creator, and ourselves, but have also correlated the verses of the Qur’an<\/em> concerning the Religion of God. The quality and attribute of God\u2019s Law for general wellbeing and health (of mind and body)<\/span> keep being discovered by contemporary science, all the time. Actually, these discoveries are introduced to the people of our time through news and media, without our realizing that it is actually God\u2019s Law that is introduced, and in fact they are all the Rules set in the Qur’an<\/em> 1400 years ago. This is the true meaning of \u201cDay of the Religion\u201d and \u201cDay of the time known,\u201d corroborating one another, moving toward the same goal, that is the manifestation of God\u2019s Religion.<\/p>\n

    3. Day they are raised\/awakened<\/h3>\n

    \u201cBeing raised\u201d (meaning \u201cto raise, rouse, awake, to draw forth, to cause to happen\u201d)<\/span> has been used in the Qur’an<\/em> in the following applications:<\/p>\n

    –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Being raised after death<\/p>\n

    –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Being raised as Messenger<\/p>\n

    –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>In (2:55-56)<\/span> some people of Moses being raised after having died by thunder and lightning, while others were watching<\/p>\n

    –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>In (21:95-96)<\/span> some people being raised after death in this world in future or maybe, one of these days<\/p>\n

    –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Jinn being raised for Judgment<\/p>\n

    –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Calamity being raised<\/p>\n

    –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Villainous men being raised (for ruling and governing)<\/span><\/p>\n

    –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Witness being raised<\/span><\/p>\n

    Note well that any of the above could be part of Day they are raised, and the period and time of the three Events, Day they are raised, Day of the Religion, and Day of the time known are during the two last centuries before the end of the world, in other words, during our time now, as we are living the last two centuries of the world.<\/p>\n

    The Difference between Day of the Resurrection, Day of the Rising up (30:56) and Day they are raised:<\/h3>\n

    Day of the Resurrection is the Judgment Day<\/h4>\n

    This is the rising up of mankind altogether from dead, as well as the jinn. This is after the destruction of the solar system and this world altogether, keeping in consideration that the rising up of Man from dead is not the same as that of the jinn. The jinn do not possess material bodies, and hence do not have physical death, but they will be raised for judgment.<\/p>\n

    72:7 \u201cAnd they (<\/span>jinn) think as you thought, that All\u2019h would not Raise up anyone (to Judgment)<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Therefore, Day of the Resurrection is specifically used as the resurrection of the whole mankind and jinn for Judgment, after the end of the world, and not for any other purpose in the Qur’an<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    Day of the Rising up<\/h4>\n

    30:56 \u201cAnd said those endued with knowledge and faith, \u2018In fact you tarried due to All\u2019h\u2019s Book till Day of the Rising up, then this is Day of the Rising up, but you were not aware.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    This is the Day\/era of the time that everything mentioned above (being raised\/awakened)<\/span>, concerning the rising up of the three Messengers, and eventually some arising from death, without being the Resurrection Day.<\/p>\n

    Day they are raised<\/h4>\n

    As mentioned above, it is applicable for Judgment, life and missionary. In (7:14)<\/span>, satan asks respite to take revenge on his own kind until \u201cthe Day they are raised\u201d<\/i> for Judgment, since jinn do not die physically, satan has time to seduce them until they are raised\/stood up for Judgment. In (15:36)<\/span>, reference to some people being raised after death (21:95-96-97)<\/span> as proof of Reality. This is the time when doors will open to Gog and Magog\u2019 productivity, and the Hour (of the end of the world)<\/span> is approaching. Satan asks respite to take revenge on humans till this event, as after this event, naturally the falsehood of satan will be manifest for humans.<\/p>\n

    In (38:79)<\/span>, reference to the \u201cthree Messengers of All\u2019h,\u201d Time, science and the Book, being raised, coinciding with Day of the Religion and Day of the time known. At this period, the respite is eventually coming to its end, as with the raising up of the three Messengers, the work and trickery of satan eventually becomes evident and everyone will know all about him, through Knowledge and the Book, also by the disastrous result on people who had followed his way in their lifetime. In (17:61-65)<\/span>, more information is given on the devil\u2019s mode of operation as to how he seduces humankind. The verses emphasize the reasoning above, regarding Day of the Resurrection.<\/p>\n

    17:61 \u201cAnd when We Said to the angels, \u2018Prostrate to Adam,\u2019 they did except Iblis. He said, \u2018Shall I prostrate to one whom You Created from clay?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    (61)<\/span> Title of the subject<\/p>\n

    17:62 \u201cHe said, \u2018You see this one that You Honor above me, if You Delay me till Day of the Resurrection, I will put barnacles on all his descendants, but a few.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    (62)<\/span> In this verse, besides referring to the animal nature of Man (a confirmation of Darwin\u2019s theory)<\/span>, satan asks his retribution to be delayed, note well that it is different from asking respite for revenge.<\/p>\n

    17:63 \u201cHe Said, \u2018Go away. Then any of them following you, verily Hell will be your recompense, an ample recompense.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    17:64 \u201cAnd provoke those whom you can among them by your voice (noise, sound)<\/span>, attract them by your cavalry and infantry, share with them in wealth and children and make promises to them. But the satan promises them nothing but deceit.\u201d<\/p>\n

    17:65 \u201cAs for My servants, no authority shall you have over them, and enough Is your Lord as Advocate.\u201d<\/p>\n

    (63-64-65)<\/span> These verses provide people with more information about satan. He intrigues through sound and noise, he participates in wealth and children through illegitimacy, but the most important information is that satan has no power and no authority over anyone choosing God as his Guide and following His Way. Satan has no authority over a human, unless the human decides to allow him.<\/p>\n

    <\/a><\/a>The Third Covenant\/Affidavit concerning the Messengers and the End of-the name\/title-Iblis in the Qur\u2019an<\/em><\/i> (38:65-88)<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

    T<\/span>hese verses concerning the Prophets and Messengers, have been the last Covenant that became a Treaty (verse 84)<\/span>. From this point on, the name Iblis is no longer mentioned, nor is his story told in the Qur’an<\/em>. After his descent to Exile, to the Earth, he also loses his original name, Iblis, and will be known by the adjective-name al-sha\u00eftan \u201cthe satan.\u201d The root word of \u201csha\u00eftan\u201d is shatana, meaning \u201ctying with a rope, opposing, nullifying, obstructing, distorting, thwarting, making barren\u201d precisely all his basic nature. Consequently, anything said by the name al-shaitan<\/i> in the Qur’an<\/em>, points to his time on Earth, practicing his satanic schemes on Man and jinn\/ (the fallen angels)<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

    38:65 \u201cSay, \u2018Truly I am a Warner, and there is no god but All\u2019h, the Only Conqueror;\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    (65)<\/span> This group of verses, precisely starting with the sign of Warner\/Messenger is the third and last Event of the Covenant with Iblis, concerning his respite to take revenge on God through His Prophets and Messengers. In this verse and the next one, there is the most important factor of Message and preaching of any Warner\/Messenger of God, arising on Earth to retain and get admonished by, and which is the precise aim of satan to confuse and deviate people from:<\/p>\n

    –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Knowing and recognizing the Warner, by the Signs and his proclamations<\/p>\n

    –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Knowing that there is no other god but \u201cthe God\/Creator,\u201d who Is the Only Conqueror at the End<\/p>\n

    38:66 \u201cThe Lord of the heavens and the Earth and all between, the Almighty, the Oft-Forgiver;\u201d<\/p>\n

    (66)<\/span> The fact to remember is that the Real Lord of all angels in Heaven and people of the world Is none but All\u2019h. To know that He Is Almighty and meanwhile He Is Oft-Forgiving the errors and sins, for those fallen into satan\u2019s trap, by repenting. All of which the event of Iblis\u2019s respite that is about to be declared.<\/p>\n

    38:67 \u201cSay, \u2018That is indeed a great news,\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    (67)<\/span> Which I am about to inform, no others have known about it.<\/p>\n

    38:68 \u201cFrom which you do turn away.\u201d<\/p>\n

    (68)<\/span> You do not realize the importance of this Event. You should concentrate and recognize the Signs in it.<\/p>\n

    38:69 \u201cNo knowledge could I have about the High above assembly (the court of Heaven)<\/span> when they started antagonizing among themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

    (69)<\/span> This being a divine information, as no Man could have known of what happened in High Heaven (scientifically, above <\/span>the Planck wall)<\/span> where the angels reside.<\/p>\n

    38:70 \u201cIf this has been Revealed to me, it is only because I am a manifest Warner.\u201d<\/p>\n

    (70)<\/span> Revelation only comes to Warners\/Prophets and Messengers.<\/p>\n

    38:71 \u201cWhen your Lord Said to the angels, \u2018I Am (in process of)<\/span> Creating a human from clay\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    38:72 \u201cSo, when I have Proportioned\/Equaled him and Breathed into him of My Spirit, befall prostrating for him\u201d<\/p>\n

    (71-72)<\/span> The two verses above, are as titles, reminding us of the continuation of the event of 15:26-43, the Second Covenant with Iblis concerning his respite to take revenge on <\/span>Man, and as this third Covenant concerns satan\u2019s revenge on Prophets and Messengers, then the Event has taken place at the same time. Note well that the title does no longer start with the preceding word and, showing the end, and no more continuation of this matter from these verses onward.<\/p>\n

    38:73 \u201cSo all the angels prostrated, the whole lot of them,\u201d<\/p>\n

    38:74 \u201cExcept Iblis, he conceited and became of the (ever)<\/span> rejecters\u201d<\/p>\n

    (73-74)<\/span> Here we are informed of Iblis\u2019s arrogance and his condemnation to perpetuity, something that had not been announced previously.<\/p>\n

    The reason for Iblis\u2019s arrogance being mentioned here is that God had Chosen man to be His Representative on Earth instead of Iblis, and God\u2019s Representatives on Earth are Prophets and Messengers.<\/p>\n

    38:75 \u201c(All\u2019h)<\/span> Said, \u2018O Iblis, what prevented you from prostrating to one whom I Created with My own Hands? You conceited, did you (think)<\/span> you are of the ever sublime one?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    (75)<\/span> Creation by God\u2019s Hands is a confirmation that the angels were not involved or present for the Creation of Man, and that Iblis had an exaggerated opinion of himself, thinking he was sublime. The only Ever Sublime One Is only God.<\/p>\n

    38:76 \u201c(Iblis)<\/span> said, \u2018I am better than he, You Created me from fire and Created him of clay.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    (76)<\/span> This completes the three-time confession of Iblis to his guilt and violation of God\u2019s Command.<\/p>\n

    38:77 \u201c(All\u2019h)<\/span> Said, \u2018Therefore get out of it (rank and place)<\/span> for you are stoned (driven away)<\/span>.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    38:78 \u201cAnd My Curse shall be on you till Day of the Religion.\u201d<\/p>\n

    (77-78)<\/span> This verse, like (15:35)<\/span> is about cursing satan, but in 15:35 is about the curse of humankind on satan, and his enmity toward humans, in this verse, it refers to God\u2019s Curse as it concerns the enmity toward God, and his revenge from God\u2019s Representatives.<\/p>\n

    38:79 \u201c(Iblis)<\/span> said, \u2018My Lord Give me then Respite till Day they are raised.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    (79)<\/span> \u201cTill Day they are raised\u201d is the period of time that the three Messengers of God, Time, science and the Book, are raised and that is coherent with \u201cDay of the time known.\u201d<\/p>\n

    38:80 \u201c(All\u2019h)<\/span> Said, \u2018Respite then is Granted to you,\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    38:81 \u201cTill Day of the time (everything be)<\/span> known.\u201d<\/p>\n

    38:82 \u201c(Iblis)<\/span> said, \u2018Then, (I swear)<\/span> by Your Might, I will trick the whole lot of them,\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    (80-81-82)<\/span> This oath of Iblis is very significant, because as these verses concern the Messengers of God, then we are dealing with the \u201cMight\u201d of God.<\/p>\n

    38:83 \u201cExcept those among your servants devoted to You Alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

    38:84 \u201c(All\u2019h)<\/span> Said, \u2018So, this is the fact, and I Speak the fact,\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    (83-84)<\/span> God Confirms the fact about these Covenants, Giving His Word.<\/p>\n

    38:85 \u201cThat I shall certainly Fill Hell of you, and those among them who follow you, altogether.\u201d<\/p>\n

    (85)<\/span> This concerns the whole lot of jinn and Man together.<\/p>\n

    38:86 \u201cSay, \u2018I am not asking you for any reward for it, nor that I am compelled with obligation.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    (86)<\/span> Among the Signs of a Messenger is that they do not ask for any reward, and a Messenger has no obligation toward the people, but to declare God\u2019s Message, and is in no way responsible for their rejection and deviation.<\/p>\n

    38:87 \u201cThis is but a Reminder for all the people of the world,\u201d<\/p>\n

    (87)<\/span> This is the Time everything is known, science bringing knowledge of everything, including the truth concerning the God, about satan and discovering remedies for satan\u2019s damages, even genetic. Also, in bringing the mathematical Proof <\/i>of the authenticity of the Qur’an<\/em>, and the Word of God being confirmed scientifically. Thus, the Qur’an<\/em> becomes the Reminder for all the people of the world, no matter the actual wrong opinion of the people about It.<\/p>\n

    38:88 \u201cAnd you shall certainly be informed of It after a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

    (88)<\/span> Such a fact, concerning confirmation of science for the Qur’an<\/em>, will certainly not take long to spread out and propagate, therefore everyone will soon be informed of it.<\/p>\n
