HOW THE DEVIL SYAITAN DECEIVE MEN AND HOW MEN CAN PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE DEVIL SYAITAN
Devil syaitan are our real enemies. Allah told us that syaitan are our enemies. Allah told us also not to make syaitan as our friends. Men are not our enemies. Men will only become our enemies when men are under the control of Iblis and syaitan. How Iblis and syaitan become our enemies? What is the goal of the work of Iblis and syaitan? Iblis and syaitan have only one goal to achieve. The goal of Iblis and syaitan is to bring the whole mankind to hellfire. When men enter hellfire and deprived from paradise, men have become unsuccessful. Iblis and syaitan want all men to become unsuccessful. All men will enter hellfire when they do evil practices and are not able to make taubah and repentance before they die. What are evil practices? Evil practices are; when men are not accepting Allah as the only God and Muhammad as the Prophet of Allah; when men who have accepted the Great Kalimah disobey all the orders of Allah; and when men who have accepted the Great Kalimah but obey the orders of Allah not in the ways of our Prophet Muhammad saw. How do Iblis and syaitan destroy men? Syaitan and Iblis destroy men by persuading them to do evil practices. Whoever persuade others to do evil practices are doing the work of syaitan.
Now there are about seven billion peoples in this world. There are about one billion peoples who have recited the Great Kalimah. About six billion peoples have not recited the Great Kalimah. In case the six billion peoples who have not recited the Great Kalimah die without reciting the Great Kalimah, they will enter hellfire. I think there are more than three quarter of the one billion Muslims who have recited the Great Kalimah disobey almost all the orders of Allah. In case they die without able to make taubah they also will enter hellfire. I think about less than one quarter of the one billion Muslims are obeying the orders of Allah. Unfortunately many of them are obeying the order of Allah not in the ways of our Prophet Muhammad saw. In case they died without able to make taubah they will also enter hellfire. I think there is a very small percent of those Muslims who have obeyed the order of Allah in the way of Prophet Muhammad saw and if they become believer before they die they will go straight into paradise. Those Muslims of this group who die before they become believers, Allah with His grace will make them believers after they have died and they also will go straight into paradise. Iblis and syaitan will not let anyone to enter paradise and Iblis and syaitan are working hard to take the whole mankind into the hellfire.
Iblis is our real enemies and Iblis is working hard to destroy men. Syaitan and Iblis are able to destroy men when they are able to bring men to enter hellfire. Syaitan and Iblis are working hard to destroy men. Iblis does not destroy men by using atomic bomb or intercontinental ballistic missiles. Iblis destroy men by inviting them to do evil practices. What men do to protect themselves from being destroyed by syaitan and Iblis? Many men do not know who their real enemies are. Allah told us that our real enemies are the syaitan. Because many men do not know that their real enemies are syaitan, instead of protecting themselves from the attack of the syaitan, many men become the friend of syaitan. Because many men do not use the weapon to protect them from the attack of the syaitan, many men are being destroyed by syaitan. What is the weapon to protect men from the attack of the syaitan? The weapon that can be used by men to destroy Iblis and syaitan is, to invite the whole mankind to recite the Great Kalimah and to invite those who have accepted the Great Kalimah to do the work of inviting mankind to good and forbidding men from doing the evils and to make istigfar and taubah. Muslims are not using these two weapons which can destroy Iblis and syaitan. Iblis on the other hand is trying hard to prevent Muslims from using the weapons which can destroy Iblis and syaitan. Muslims are not using the weapons to destroy Iblis and syaitan. Iblis and syaitan are using their weapons to destroy men. We are at war with Iblis and syaitan but we do not know that we are at war with Iblis and syaitan. We are at war with the syaitan but we are not using our weapons to destroy our enemies. On the other hand the Iblis and syaitan are using their weapons almost twenty four hours daily to destroy men.
Azazil is a genie who was a Muslim. He used to perform prayers and zikir to Allah. Azazil was a learned Muslim and a teacher to all the angels. Azazil was a very proud genie. He was proud, because he was a learned Muslim who was also the teacher to all the angels. Azazil regard himself as the best creature in this universe. Azazil was not an alim and neither was a believer. Because Azazil was not an alim or a believer he was easily deceived by his desires. The desire of an alim or a believer is only to have the love of Allah. An alim is not easily deceived by his wrong desires and syaitan. The desire of Azazil is not to have the love of Allah but to become Khalifah. Azazil was performing ibadah with the intention to become Khalifah and not with the intention to please Allah. Azazil had the desire to become a person of power and status but he has no desire to have the love of Allah. All the ibadah of Iblis was not accepted by Allah because Iblis had associated Allah with other than Allah. Azazil was deceived by his wrong desire. All men should know that their wrong desires are their main enemies. Azazil becomes Iblis because he was deceived by his desires. When anyone either men or jinn follows their wrong desires they become syaitan and Iblis.
Azazil knew that Allah wanted to create a new creation name Adam. Azazil knew that Allah wanted to makes Adam as the Khalifah. Azazil dislikes the idea to make Adam as the Khalifah of Allah because he himself wanted to become the Khalifah. Azazil pleaded to the angels to try to persuade Allah not to create Adam. When the angels requested Allah not to create Adam, Allah told to the angel that He knows what the angel does not know. When Allah had chosen Adam as the Khalifah, Azazil became very angry and frustrated with Allah. Allah knew that Azazil wanted to become the Khalifah and because of that Azazil was not chosen to become the Khalifah. Allah knew Azazil had kibir or riak inside his heart. Allah loves Azazil as He loves all of His other creations. Allah wanted to remove the disease of riak or kibir from the heart of Azazil. In order to remove the riak and kibir from the heart of Azazil, Allah ordered Azazil to prostrate to Adam. All the angels except Azazil prostrate to Adam. When Azazil did not prostrate to Adam, the kibir or riak in the heart of Azazil was not removed by Allah. Azazil was cursed by Allah and he became syaitan. When Azazil became syaitan, his name is Iblis. Azazil disobey the order of Allah and not willing to make taubah and istigfar because he was neither a believer nor an alim. Believers or alims also disobey the order of Allah but when believers or alims are reminded about their disobedience to the order of Allah they will immediately makes taubah and istigfar. Muslims scholars who are easily deceived by their desires or by the syaitan and Iblis, in reality they are not ulama or alim but only ahli kitab. Nowadays Muslims call those ahli kitab as ulama or alim. Iblis and syaitan are using those ahli kitab to deviate Muslims from the correct path. All ulama or alim are believers and all believers are alim or ulama. They are protected by Allah. Ulama or alims are not easily deceived either by their desires or by Iblis and syaitan.
Allah asked Iblis the reason for his disobedience. Azazil told Allah that he disobeys the order of Allah to prostrate to Adam because he is superior to Adam. He told Allah that he is superior to Adam because he was created from fire whereas Adam was created from dried clay which has no taste and colour. All excuses of Azazil for not obeying the order of Allah are not accepted by Allah. We can deduce from the excuses given by Azazil and the action done by Azazil (not to prostrate to Adam), that Azazil is having the disease of riak or kibir. There are many men and jinn who also disobey the order of Allah but their disobedience were not due to kibir or riak. Azazil disobeyed the order of Allah because he thinks and believes that he is superior to Adam. Some members of Jemaah Tabligh make a deduction that Dr Nasoha has riak and kibir because Dr Nasoha shows to others in the Facebook and YouTube that he is visiting the non-Muslims to ask them to recite the Great Kalimah and visiting the Muslims to remind them about the Great Kalimah and to invite them to do the work which fulfill the right of the Great Kalimah. Some members of Jemaah Tabligh also make a deduction that Dr Nasoha has riak and kibir because Dr Nasoha did not obey the decision of their elders in Nizammuddin.
What was the decision of their elders? Their elders decided that if Dr Nasoha wanted to give lectures to the members of Jemaah Tabligh in Malaysia and to become the syurah members of Jemaah Tabligh who can make decision during the mesyuarah of Jemaah Tabligh in Malaysia, Dr Nasoha should not do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to become Muslims. I decided to disobey the decision of their elders because I wanted to continue with the work of inviting the non-Muslims to become Muslims. Many in Jemaah Tabligh believe I had the disease of riak and kibir and because of that I disobey the decision of their elders. Many in Jemaah Tabligh think that I was having riak and kibir because while I was in their Jemaah I used to hold the status of a syurah for so many years. Since the year of 1980 I was made one of the syurah for the city of Kuala Lumpur. At that time I was only 25 years old and I was not even married. Since the year of 1994, I was made as one of the syurah for Malaysia. While I was in their Jemaah I often gave lectures or bayan in many of their ijtimak. In Jemaah Tabligh, I was always in the limelight and I was always very popular. Because I was always popular and in the limelight, many members of Jemaah Tabligh in Malaysia, particularly ustaz or the so called ulama, some members of Malaysian syurah and many of the old workers became so jealous of my popularity. At one time one of the imams of Masjid Seri Petaling by the name of Ustaz Hamid came to me while I was delivering a lecture or bayan in Masjid Seri Petaling and ordered me to recite the Great Kalimah. I was asked by him to recite the Great Kalimah, in front of all the audience of about four thousand peoples. According to him in my lecture or bayan I had uttered words which ridicule the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw and according to him I had become a non-Muslim. He wanted me to recite the Great Kalimah so that I become Muslim again. All praise is to Allah, I have uttered the Great Kalimah with the intention to please Allah.
Many in Jemaah Tabligh are jealous of my popularity and whenever they found any discrepancy in the tertib of work which I was doing they will immediately report to their elders. They hope with such actions, they will be able to discredit me in the eyes of their elders. However all their work to discredit me was unsuccessful and I was still popular with their elders. Some of their elders even regard me as synonymous to Malaysia. Their elders often told to others that Dr Nasoha is Malaysia and Malaysia is Dr Nasoha. When I disobeyed the order of their elders, many accused me as having riak and kibir and many even call me Iblis and syaitan. They call me Iblis and syaitan because to them, I disobey the order of Allah when I disobey the order of their elders. Members of Jemaah Tabligh regard the disobedience to the order of their elders is the same as the disobedience to the order of Allah. In other words they regard their elders to be at the same level as Prophet Muhammad saw. Jemaah Tabligh wants everyone in Jemaah Tabligh to obey their elders blindly as Muslims have to obey Allah and Prophet Muhammad saw blindly.
Jemaah Tabligh thinks of me to be the same as Iblis and that I have riak and kibir. In my opinion what they think about me, is wrong. Firstly, I am obeying the order of Allah by inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah while Iblis was disobeying the order of Allah. I do not think any members of Jemaah Tabligh will ever dare to say to me that the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah is not an order of Allah. Their elders do not allow them to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah because according to their elders, nowadays Muslims are not capable of doing the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah. Although I was disobeying the order of their elders but in fact I am obeying the order of Allah. When I obey the order of Allah it means I was not deceived by Iblis and syaitan. It also means I am a believer and I am sincere in my decision to do the work of Prophet Muhammad saw. Actually Iblis and syaitan was using Maulana Saad and their elders in Nizammuddin to deceive me into disobeying the order of Allah. All praise is to Allah who protects me from being deceived by the Iblis and syaitan. This incident shows that I am a believer, I am not having riak and kibir, and I am protected by Allah from Iblis and syaitan.
All believers do not have riak or kibir in their heart because the sins of riak and kibir are similar to the sins of syirik. Muslims who have become believers have no syirik in their hearts. Muslims who have not become believers may have kibir and riak in their hearts. Muslim who has not become believers is also easily deceived by Iblis and syaitan. Muslims who are deceived by syaitan will disobey the orders of Allah. When Muslims obey the order of Allah it means they are not being deceived by syaitan. Allah makes syaitan and Iblis to become the friends or advisers to those Muslims who have syirik inside their hearts. Secondly I did not give the reason for my disobedience because as Iblis said to Adam I am better than their elders. I disobeyed the order of their elders, because the order of their elders is contradictory to the order of Allah. Jemaah Tabligh also thinks that I am having riak and kibir. Jemaah Tabligh is thinking I am having riak and kibir because I allow my video of visiting the peoples to be displayed in the Facebook and YouTube. They must know the reasons why I have allowed my video to be displayed in the Facebook and YouTube? It is to enable others in all over the world to learn to do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and to learn to do the work of reminding the Muslims about the meaning of the Great Kalimah and to remind the Muslims to do the work which fulfill the right of the Great Kalimah.
Prophet Muhammad saw said with approximate meaning; remember Allah abundantly (obey the orders of Allah) until the munafikin will say to you that you are ahli riak. I think as the Hadis says, the people of Jemaah Tabligh who are saying to me that I am ahli riak are the munafikin. Munafikin are non-Muslims who look as Muslims but in the eyes of Allah, they are kafir or infidels. Iblis and syaitan deceive Jemaah Tabligh into using only the old traditional methods of writing books and giving lectures in the mosques in spreading Islam. Their elders do not believe in using computer and internet as extra tools to spread Islam. What is the basis use by their elders for not allowing Jemaah Tabligh to use internet to spread the words of Allah? Are there any verses in the Quran or Hadis that forbid Muslims from using the internet? Why do their elders forbid their followers from using the internet when Allah and Prophet Muhammad saw do not forbid Muslims from using the internet to spread the words of Allah? Allah has made Iblis to become the adviser to the elders of Jemaah Tabligh because their elders have syirik in their hearts.
