Darkness Fights Light
In God's Name, Most Kind and Most Merciful.
May God protect us from the Evil Satan.
The story of war between children of Light and seeds of Fire in narrated by Creator Almighty himself in his own holy book the Mighty Koran.
Holy verses from Koran are collected here for seekers who wish to find out about the cosmic war by the forces of fire upon the children of light. There are 114 chapters in the Holy Koran. In some of them, there are clues and information about this war. God provides us with data on the true origins of evil.
1. First Man
God tells Angels that He has decided to create His Ambassador [Kalefa] on Earth. Angels object. They ask God why He would create someone who would make trouble - “shed blood”. God nevertheless goes ahead and creates Adam as His Representative on Earth. He then orders everyone to bow to Adam as a mark of respect and as an acknowledgement of his high position. Eblees who was one of the Jins refuses to obey God's command. God asks Eblees for any valid excuse for not bowing to Adam. Eblees claims to be superior to Adam. God does not accept this reason. God declares him Satan [Devil] due to his arrogance. As Satan, he is expelled from the holy place. Satan asks God not punish him immediately. Satan requests time from God to prove himself right. God grants Satan’s request.
History of mankind and God’s guidance sent to the world is the remainder of the story.
God sent Holy Guide to the world His last Messenger Prophet Muhammad; and through him God revealed to humanity Koran the perfect pure final book.
This is the real story on how Satan became the dark deceiver.
Our Lord God the Wise Creator revealed to Prophet Mohammed His Words:
1.
In the Name of God Kind and Merciful. Praise is to God, Lord of the Worlds, the Kind the Merciful, the Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment. You we worship and You we ask for help. Guide us on the Straight Path. The path of those on whom You bestowed bounties. Not of those who earn Your Wrath, nor of those who go astray.
This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guidance for those who are righteous. Who believe in the Unseen, and perform prayer, and spend of that We have bestowed upon them; And who believe in that which is revealed to you (Mohamed) and that which was revealed before you, and are certain of the Hereafter. These depend on guidance from their Lord. These are the successful.
And when your Lord said to the angels: Lo! I am about to place a viceroy in the earth, they said: Will you place therein one who will do harm and will shed blood, while we, we hymn your praise and sanctify you ? He said: Surely I know that which you know not. And He taught Adam all the names, then showed them to the angels, saying: Inform Me of the names of these, if you are truthful. They said: Be glorified! We have no knowledge except that which you have taught us. Lo! you, only you, are the Knower, the Wise. He said: O Adam! Inform them of their names, and when he had informed them of their names, He said: Did I not tell you that I know the secret of the heavens and the earth ? And I know that which you disclose and which you hide.
And when We said to the angels: Prostrate yourselves before Adam, they fell prostrate, all except Eblees. He demurred through pride, and so became a disbeliever. And We said: O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in the Garden, and eat you freely thereof where you will; but come not nigh this tree lest you become wrong-doers. But Satan caused them to deflect therefrom and expelled them from the state in which they were; and We said: Fall down, one of you a foe to the other! There shall be for you on earth a habitation and provision for a time. Then Adam received from his Lord words, and He relented toward him. Lo! He is the relenting, the Merciful. We said: Go down, all of you, from hence; but verily there comes to you from Me a guidance; and whoso follows My guidance, there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve. But they who disbelieve, and deny Our revelations, such are rightful Peoples of the Fire. They will abide therein.
2.
Lo! God preferred Adam and Noah and the Family of Abraham and the Family of Imran above (all) creatures. They were descendants one of another. God is Hearer, Knower.
3.
But recite to them with truth the tale of the two sons of Adam, how they offered each a sacrifice, and it was accepted from the one of them and it was not accepted from the other. (One) said: I will surely kill you. (Other) answered: God accepts only from those who ward off (evil). Even if you stretch out your hand against me to kill me, I shall not stretch out my hand against you to kill you, lo! I fear God, the Lord of the Worlds. Lo! I would rather you shouldst bear the punishment of the sin against me and your own sin and become one of the owners of the fire. That is the reward of evil-doers. But (the other's) mind imposed on him the killing of his brother, so he slew him and became one of the losers. Then God sent a raven scratching up the ground, to show him how to hide his brother's naked corpse. He said: Woe to me! Am I not able to be as this raven and so hide my brother's naked corpse ? And he became repentant. For that cause We decreed for the Children of Israel that whosoever kills a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saves the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. Our messengers came to them of old with clear proofs (of God's Sovereignty), but afterwards lo! many of them became prodigals in the earth.
4.
And We created you, then fashioned you, then told the angels: Fall you prostrate before Adam! And they fell prostrate, all except Eblees, who was not of those who make prostration. He (God) said: What hindered you that you didst not fall prostrate when I bade you ? (Eblees) said: I am better than him. You createdst me of fire while him you didst create of mud. He said: Then go down hence! It is not for you to show pride here, so go forth! Lo! you are of those degraded. He said: Reprieve me till the day when they are resurrected. He said: Lo! you are of those reprieved. He said: Now, because you have sent me astray, verily I shall lurk in ambush for them on your Right Path. Then I shall come upon them from before them and from behind them and from their right hands and from their left hands, and you will not find most of them beholden (to you). He said: Go forth from hence, degraded, banished. As for such of them as follow you, surely I will fill hell with all of you.
And (to man): O Adam! Dwell you and your wife in the Garden and eat from whence you will, but come not nigh this tree lest you become wrong-doers. Then Satan whispered to them that he might manifest to them that which was hidden from them of their shame, and he said: Your Lord forbade you from this tree only lest you should become angels or become of the immortals. And he swore to them: Lo! I am a sincere adviser to you. Thus did he lead them on with guile. And when they tasted of the tree their shame was manifest to them and they began to hide (by heaping) on themselves some of the leaves of the Garden. And their Lord called them: Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you: Lo! Satan is an open enemy to you. They said: Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If you forgive us not and have not mercy on us, surely we are of the lost! He said: Go down, one of you a foe to the other. There will be for you on earth a habitation and provision for a while. He said: There shall you live, and there shall you die, and thence shall you be brought forth.
O Children of Adam! We have revealed to you garment to conceal your shame, and splendid vesture, but the garment of restraint from evil, that is best. This is of the revelations of God, that they may remember. O Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you as he caused your parents to go forth from the Garden and tore off from them their robe that he might manifest their shame to them. Lo! he sees you, he and his tribe, from whence you see him not. Lo! We have made the devils protecting friends for those who believe not. And when they do some lewdness they say: We found our fathers doing it and God has enjoined it on us. Say: God, verily, enjoins not lewdness. Tell you concerning God that which you know not? Say: My Lord enjoins justice. And set your faces upright at every place of worship and call upon Him, making religion pure for Him. As He brought you into being, so return you (to Him). A party has He led aright, while error has just hold over a party, for lo! they choose the devils for protecting supporters instead of God and deem that they are rightly guided. O Children of Adam! Look to your adornment at every place of worship, and eat and drink, but be not prodigal. Lo! He loves not the prodigals. Say: Who has forbidden the adornment of God which He has brought forth for His bondmen, and the good things of His providing? Say: Such, on the Day of Resurrection, will be only for those who believed during the life of the world. Thus do we detail Our revelations for people who have knowledge. Say: My Lord forbids only indecencies, such of them as are apparent and such as are within, and sin and wrongful oppression, and that you associate with God that for which no warrant has been revealed, and that you tell concerning God that which you know not.
5.
And when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their reins, their seed, and made them testify of themselves: Am I not your Lord ? They said: Yea, verily. We testify. (That was) lest you should say at the Day of Resurrection: Lo! of this we were unaware; Or lest you should say: (It is) only (that) our fathers ascribed partners to God of old and we were (their) seed after them. Will you destroy us on account of that which those who follow falsehood did ? Thus we detail revelations, that haply they may return.
6.
Verily We created man of potter's clay of black mud altered, And the jinn did We create aforetime of essential fire. And) when your Lord said to the angels: Lo! I am creating a mortal out of potter's clay of black mud altered, So, when I have made him and have breathed into him of My Spirit, do you fall down, prostrating yourselves to him. So the angels fell prostrate, all of them together except Eblees. He refused to be among the prostrate. He said: O Eblees! What ails you that you are not among the prostrate ? He said: I am not one to prostrate myself to a mortal whom you have created out of potter's clay of black mud altered! He said: Then go you forth from hence, for lo! you are outcast. And lo! the curse shall be upon you till the Day of Judgment. He said: My Lord! Reprieve me till the day when they are raised. He said: Then lo! you are of those reprieved Till the Day of appointed time. He said: My Lord! Because you have sent me astray, I verily shall adorn the path of error for them in the earth, and shall mislead them every one, except such of them as are your perfectly devoted servants. He said: This is a right course incumbent upon Me: Lo! as for My servants, you have no power over any of them except such of the froward as follow you, And lo! for all such, hell will be the promised place. It has seven gates, and each gate has an appointed portion. Lo! those who ward off (evil) are among gardens and watersprings. (And it is said to them): Enter them in peace, secure. And We remove whatever rancour may be in their breasts. As brethren, face to face, (they rest) on couches raised. Toil comes not to them there, nor will they be expelled from thence. Announce to My servants that verily I am the Forgiving, the Merciful, And that My doom is the dolorous doom.
7.
And when We said to the angels: Fall down prostrate before Adam and they fell prostrate all except Eblees, he said: Shall I fall prostrate before that which you have created of clay ? He said: Seest you this (creature) whom you have honoured above me, if you give me grace until the Day of Resurrection I verily will seize his seed, except but a few. He said: Go, and whosoever of them follows you - lo! hell will be your payment, ample payment. And excite any of them whom you canst with your voice, and urge your horse and foot against them, and be a partner in their wealth and children, and promise them. Satan promises them only to deceive. Lo! My servants - over them you have no power, and your Lord suffices as (their) guardian.
8.
And when We said to the angels: Fall prostrate before Adam, and they fell prostrate, all except Eblees. He was of the Jinn, so he rebelled against his Lord's command. Will you choose him and his seed for your protecting friends instead of Me, when they are an enemy to you ? Calamitous is the exchange for evil-doers. I made them not to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor their own creation; nor choose I misleaders for (My) helpers. And (be mindful of) the Day when He will say: Call those partners of Mine whom you pretended. Then they will cry to them, but they will not hear their prayer, and We shall set a gulf of doom between them. And the guilty behold the Fire and know that they are about to fall therein, and they find no way of escape thence.
9.
These are they to whom God showed favour from among the prophets, of the seed of Adam and of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Noah, and of the seed of Abraham and Israel, and from among those whom We guided and chose. When the revelations of the Beneficent were recited to them, they fell down, adoring and weeping.
10.
Thus we have revealed it as a Book in Arabic, and have displayed therein certain threats, that peradventure they may keep from evil or that it may cause them to take heed. Then exalted be God, the True King! And hasten not with the Koran before its revelation has been perfected to you, and say: My Lord! Increase me in knowledge. And verily We made a covenant of old with Adam, but he forgot, and We found no constancy in him.
And when We said to the angels: Fall prostrate before Adam, they fell prostrate (all) except Eblees; he refused. Therefor we said: O Adam! This is an enemy to you and to your wife, so let him not drive you both out of the Garden so that you come to toil. It is (vouchsafed) to you that you hungerest not therein nor are naked, And that you thirstest not therein nor are exposed to the sun's heat. But the devil whispered to him, saying: O Adam! Shall I show you the tree of immortality and power that wastes not away ? Then they twain ate thereof, so that their shame became apparent to them, and they began to hide by heaping on themselves some of the leaves of the Garden. And Adam disobeyed his Lord, so went astray. Then his Lord chose him, and relented toward him, and guided him. He said: Go down hence, both of you, one of you a foe to the other. But when there come to you from Me a guidance, then whoso follows My guidance, he will not go astray nor come to grief. But he who turns away from remembrance of Me, his will be a narrow life, and I shall bring him blind to the assembly on the Day of Resurrection. He will say: My Lord! Wherefor have you gathered me (hither) blind, when I was wont to see ? He will say: So (it must be). Our revelations came to you but you didst forget them. In like manner you are forgotten this Day. Thus do We reward him who is prodigal and believes not the revelations of his Lord; and verily the doom of the Hereafter will be sterner and more lasting. Is it not a guidance for them (to know) how many a generation We destroyed before them, amid whose dwellings they walk ? Lo! therein verily are signs for men of thought.
11.
When your Lord said to the angels: Lo! I am about to create a mortal out of mud, And when I have fashioned him and breathed into him of My Spirit, then fall down before him prostrate, The angels fell down prostrate, every one, except Eblees; he was scornful and became one of the disbelievers. He said: O Eblees! What hinders you from falling prostrate before that which I have created with both My hands ? Are you too proud or are you of the high exalted ? He said: I am better than him. You createdst me of fire, whilst him you didst create of clay. He said: Go forth from hence, for lo! you are outcast, And lo! My curse is on you till the Day of Judgment. He said: My Lord! Reprieve me till the day when they are raised. He said: Lo! you are of those reprieved until the day of the time appointed. He said: Then, by your might, I surely will beguile them every one, except your single-minded servants among them. He said: The Truth is, and the Truth I speak, That I shall fill hell with you and with such of them as follow you, together. Say (to mankind O Prophet): I ask of you no fee for this, and I am no pretending. Lo! it is naught else than a reminder for all peoples And you will come in time to know the truth thereof.
That was full account of the story of Adam in the Holy Koran. Origins of evil and its spread is a gripping account given by God Himself in His own holy book. Readers can now see how Satan gets jealous of Adam and refuses to accept his superiority. On God's command the Angels bow before Adam, while Satan rejects the Divine Order.
2. Birth and Death
Worldly life is ideal slaughter ground for Satan. He uses material things to divert us from the real war that is going on behind the scene. Evil tried to distract our mind from thinking about our existence and our true purpose of life. We are children of light. Satan wants us to come to the fire.
We are all born on a day in the past. Then there will come a day when we die and leave this world. In between we exist for a short period of sixty or eighty years. We live our temporary life. Then we die. What for? What is the meaning of this life? What is purpose of our existence? Why do we exist like this? What is our real purpose?
3. God does not allow Satan to touch some humans. Only those people whose hearts God seals are touched by Satan. He physically harms only those types of humans who have been forsaken by God. When Creator abandons them, then nothing can save them from Satan. He will get them. God has warned humans about Satan. They have no cause to complain. This is what God said about deceptive tricks of Satan:
[ verses ]
God tells us that after some major crimes, He seals your heart.
[ verses ]
[Essential bits of first battle between Satan and Adam. Cut down version of verses. All parts of Koran reduced to 2 paragraphs]
Satan seduces. He uses various means to seduce you. Things you would not otherwise do are made appealing to you. He makes abhorrent things attractive by dressing them up in deceptive good coverings. Make up. Revealing clothes. Tight shirts. Short skirts. Visible flesh. Soft voice. Nice smile. Ego boosting words. Flowery compliments. Praises. Satan’s tool of seduction is powerful.
