[0:07][Music] so [Music] the fallen angel is a figure who is commonly

[0:49]seen as an angel that audaciously decided to wage war against god

[0:59]and is often considered to be the devil satan this view is

[1:09]predominantly espoused within christianity biblically satan was created as a guardian cheer

[1:21]up angel who was ordained with the responsibility of watching over the

[1:29]garden of eden and was created with pristine being one of the

[1:38]most attractive angels of god almighty full of potential however satan had

[1:44]his pride get the best of him and began to fantasize being

[1:53]worshiped rather than worshiping eventually contemplating having a throne risen for himself

[2:02]above the throne of god almighty as a result god decided to

[2:09]smite him and banish him exiling him from the heavens jesus in

[2:16]the chapter luke says i saw with my own eyes the devil

[2:25]falling like lightning from the heavens the phrase or title the fallen

[2:33]angel is used interchangeably with the devil otherwise known as lucifer for

[2:38]these reasons is there a common denominator between the biblical narrative of

[2:44]the fallen angel and the quranic narrative of shaytaan shaitaan according to

[2:57]islamic theology was banished but by consensus of scholarship is not an

[3:10]angel however there have been some researchers who have claimed that shaitaan

[3:15]like the christian narrative was an angel and can be seen as

[3:21]a fallen angel within islamic theology they will use some quranic verses

[3:33]to substantiate their claim one verse that is used is the following

[3:44]bismillah and when we commanded the angels to bow down to adam

[3:57]as their direction of worship similar to how we bow down towards

[4:02]the kaaba as our direction of worship the angels were not commanded

[4:08]to worship adam but to take his direction as their means to

[4:14]worshiping allah adam was the kaaba for the angels illah with the

[4:19]exception of iblis the devil shaitaan khan al-jin he was from the

[4:27]jinn how could god be addressing the assembly of the angels and

[4:33]expecting shaytaan to also bow down to adam if ada if shaytan

[4:42]was not an angel and when the sentence says kaname jin he

[4:47]was from the jinn that doesn't mean he was from the species

[4:51]of jinn those who suggest that shaitaan was an angel will claim

[4:56]rather it means he was from the angels that worked within the

[5:04]jinan within jenna within heaven this argument holds multiple fallacies how so

[5:13]because to say kana min jin means that he wasn't from the

[5:19]species of jinn as we have understood within islamic theology there are

[5:27]three intellectual species that have been created the human being the angels

[5:36]and the jinn here allah means that the jinn were the angels

[5:44]that worked as custodians in the jinnah that is not what is

[5:50]understood immediately when reading the verse so allah could not simply expect

[5:57]this from society to understand that this means that he works within

[6:00]the heavens a disobedient angel furthermore all angels are custodians of the

[6:07]heavens so this is an additional piece of information that is not

[6:11]beneficial at all the main argument that does hold some merit is

[6:21]how can allah address a group of angels and assume that shaytan

[6:27]would also follow with that command if he wasn't an angel he

[6:32]made that exception with the exception of iblis the devil in arabic

[6:40]syntax and grammar and naha there is a rule called the exception

[6:45]rule there are two types of exceptions within arabic grammar a disconnected

[6:59]and connected exception in this context depending on the context of the

[7:06]sentence and paragraph and phrase you can have the exception be related

[7:11]to the previous discussion or not this context has iblees disconnected from

[7:20]the previous discussion of the angels how so because of the next

[7:25]sentence he was from the jinn not from the angels another example

[7:30]of this connected and disconnected exception is when allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala describes

[7:38]the atmosphere of heaven for the believers in surat maryam and the

[7:47]verse says they will not hear in heaven ill speech derogatory speech

[7:59]accept peace peacefulness does the exception mean that peacefulness is derogatory no

[8:07]it means you will not hear ill speech the only thing you

[8:14]will hear is peaceful speech this is this is an exception that

[8:20]is disconnected obviously how would it have been connected had allah said

[8:26]for example that they will not hear ill speech fables and wrong

[8:31]stories for example that would be like saying and the only thing

[8:37]that they will hear which is ill speech is the following but

[8:40]because salama is the complete opposite of ill speech this is a

[8:50]disconnected exception likewise in the previous verse within the holy quran shaytan

[8:54]is a disconnected exception but in that case why would allah still

[8:57]expect him to do sujud when addressing the entire assembly of angels

[9:04]imagine there are trillions of them quattrillion angels and literally only one

[9:11]according to reports in a hadith the only one that was not

[9:15]an angel in that presence was iblis was the shaytan himself allah

[9:21]will not announce all trillions of angels and the one jinni do

[9:30]suju to adam when he says o all angels do suju to

[9:36]adam it comes obvious that it means you too iblis it goes

[9:42]without saying how did he get to the ranks of the angels

[9:47]however such that he is amongst this massive assembly when allah orders

[9:52]them to do sujud to adam that he is also expected to

[9:57]do suju to him as well some have said that at one

[10:05]point there were only jinn on earth previous to the creation of

[10:12]human beings the in the earth was inhabited by only jinn there

[10:17]are only three intellectual creations the human the angel and the jinn

[10:25]previous to the humans the jinn dwelled the earth and they began

[10:31]to spread corruption eventually associating partners and deities with allah and killing

[10:39]and oppressing one another the angels allah ordered them to go and

[10:45]fight the jinn wage war against them and this was this long

[10:52]epic war angelic battle between the angels and the jinn eventually the

[10:57]angels won the surviving jinn had to be taken captive however where

[11:03]were they taken to the heavens they were first banished to some

[11:08]islands off the coast of the mainland but one of these angels

[11:12]was worshipping allah and so this captive was taken to the heavens

[11:20]instead this one of these jinn rather was taken to the heaven

[11:24]and began to worship allah there and pray and supplicate to the

[11:30]lord eventually elevating in the ranks of spirituality leading him to that

[11:37]station amongst the angels in the school of the shia school of

[11:42]thought we reject the story for multiple reasons this narrative does not

[11:49]have a solid chain of narrators for us to accept it first

[11:54]of all and it's not found in multitudes within our reports and

[11:59]our canonized text furthermore it doesn't even make sense the angels had

[12:05]to wage war against the jinn means that they struggled and fought

[12:09]them for a long time when we've read traditions that the angel

[12:15]gabriel with just the edge tip of one of the feathers on

[12:19]his wings destroyed the entire nation of the people of lut then

[12:26]why would the angels have to conflict and fight and wage war

[12:30]against the jinn all of a sudden nothing can compete with the

[12:33]might and strength of the angels of allah then how did shaytan

[12:42]get to the heavenly abode like he was created amongst the angels

[12:48]he was created to worship allah but the one exception he had

[12:53]that differentiated him with the angels was that he had free will

[12:59]the angels don't have free will they are designed and they are

[13:07]created with predestination to follow everything that allah commands them to do

[13:12]but the shayateen have free will like the human beings the jinn

[13:19]and ins have the decision to move and create and speak however

[13:31]they will nothing is predestined except very little and so having that

[13:38]common trait with the human being free will means that you can

[13:46]disobey allah this is something you can do iblis decided to disobey

[13:51]allah but originally at first was created amongst the angels similar to

[13:56]how other jinn were also created amongst the other creations of allah

[14:02]and recognizing acknowledging allah worshipping him his free will got him in

[14:08]trouble he used it for wrong after this event when allah ordered

[14:13]him to bow down to adam and he refused to do so

[14:18]allah began to give him an opportunity to explain himself from his

[14:24]infinite mercy even shaitaan has the opportunity to not necessarily defend himself

[14:32]but rather explain his decision-making allah says on the holy quran what

[14:50]prevented you from prostrating to that which i created with my own

[14:59]hands metaphorically speaking of course allah specifically said that i created this

[15:05]meaning if i hold any value to you consider i made this

[15:10]and i am ordering you to do suju to it this is

[15:14]associated with me i made it with my own hands what could

[15:19]have possibly prevented you from disassociating your love to me and your

[15:25]recognition to me the lord from this order and command the following

[15:31]line is very fascinating did you find yourself arrogant or above all

[15:43]else you felt that you were ali above everyone else stuck up

[15:52]iblis said something profound profoundly racist i'm greater than him better than

[16:10]him why you created me from fire and you created him from

[16:15]mud therefore i am much better fire is better than mud that

[16:18]is literally saying that black or white is greater than the other

[16:23]what is the methodology in concluding that fire can be better or

[16:30]greater than mud or clay you created the man adam from madhya

[16:35]allah okay fire is greater than what okay in what situation which

[16:43]context what is the barometer that deduces that fire is greater than

[16:47]mud household furthermore i allah subhanahu ta'ala ordering you to do something

[16:51]until it meets your criteria you will follow what i am saying

[16:55]worshiping your own pride and ego in these verses we notice allah

[17:04]calling the devil said iblis is his formal name iblis comes from

[17:19]the root ablaze to have despair and yes to be in a

[17:26]state of despair in the holy quran we find bismillahim that when

[17:46]the hour comes the criminals will be in a state of despair

[17:52]the same term was also used here despair and shaitaan carries that

[17:59]as his formal title and name to have that despair because one

[18:05]of the biggest sins in islamic theology is to have despair from

[18:13]allah meaning to believe allah cannot help you in a situation you've

[18:17]wronged yourself so much that not even god can forgive you when

[18:22]you say that not even god can do anything for you means

[18:29]that you have limited allah you've restricted god oh allah subhanahu wa

[18:33]you can do everything except this you cannot forgive me and that

[18:38]is haram and so he associates that [Music] in that case get

[19:10]out from here leave this heavenly abode that i have given you

[19:14]i've gave you as your residence for all of your entire life

[19:23]you must leave now you have been banished and exiled and upon

[19:29]you will be my condemnation until the day of judgment shaitaan gave

[19:37]a reply um in that case my lord please allow me the

[19:58]longevity to live until the day they are resurrected allah gave him

[20:03]what he wanted even shaytan can have his wishes fulfilled from allah

[20:08]so never have despair and it's the mother of all ironies the

[20:12]very creation named after despair sees that really if he wants and

[20:19]he asks allah in a manner that is befitting rabbi my nourisher

[20:24]my lord make me able to live until they are resurrected allah

[20:29]says in that case you will have that long life until the

[20:37]time of resurrection that in that case i will misguide all of

[20:49]them by your glory of course i can't do anything unless you've

[20:53]given me permission and the free will to do so i will

[20:56]misguide i will attempt my best to misguide all of them with

[21:00]the exception of a specific group of people the purified servants that

[21:09]are chosen they have this purity to them these are the prophets

[21:16]of allah affect them the prophets of god and the imams of

[21:22]bayt i will try to misguide all of them but this group

[21:27]of people i cannot misguide and the beauty in this set of

[21:37]verses allah gives shaytan the moment to explain himself try defending yourself

[21:46]here even though allah knows the answer yet he still asks him

[21:49]so he gives him the burden of truth what prevented you explain

[22:00]yourself here manifesting the ada the supreme justice that allah has even

[22:07]to shaitaan and even in this condition allowing him to have what

[22:13]he desires giving us that moment to reflect that if shaytan can

[22:20]have his desires accepted and have his moment to defend and explain

[22:25]then where do we the bashar the insane stand let us take

[22:34]the time and the opportunistic moment to beseech our lord none of

[22:40]us are fallen devils or banished angels or anything of that sort

[22:46]and at the end of the day allah has ordained the human

[22:51]being with that responsibility of representing him to the creation the skies

[22:57]are the limit if even for the shaitaan allah can grant him

[23:02]some of that desire then where do we stand may allah subhanahu

[23:08]wa ta'ala bless us all in that regard keep us away from

[23:14]the shaitaan regime and closer to our man barakatuhu [Music] you
