HOW THE DEVIL SYAITAN DECEIVE MEN AND HOW MEN CAN PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE DEVIL SYAITAN

In order to revive the work of Prophet Muhammad saw, Allah can use anybody whom Allah is pleased. It is not obligatory for Allah to choose only the alim or ulama to revive the work of Prophet Muhammad saw. The Group Seventy did not know that Prophet Muhammad saw prior to become a Prophet of Allah, was only a trader and he was not an alim or ulama. When Allah has chosen him to become the last Prophet of Allah, Allah has made him to become the most alim from among all men and Jinn. The Group Seventy had made a great mistake. They have made the wrong choice for not staying with Dr Nasoha and for not continuing doing the work of Prophet Muhammad saw with Dr Nasoha. Now all the members of the Group Seventy are in the wilderness and Allah has made them sad and frustrated with their lives. All of them are sad and not happy with their lives as told to us by one of the former members of Group Seventy by the name Zamharira. All of them are not doing either the work of Jemaah Tabligh or the work of Prophet Muhammad saw. Many of them are no longer doing the work of Jemaah Tabligh and no longer able to guard their five times prayers with congregation in the mosques. Zamharira used to be with them for 3 years but now he is able with the grace of Allah, to be with us back and doing the work of Prophet Muhammad saw.

Now they neither do the work of Prophet Muhammad saw nor they really do the work of Jemaah Tabligh. Because they disobeyed the order of Allah, Allah has made them in the wilderness. All of them are now busy following their own desires (nafs) and because they follow their own desires, they become even more easily deceived by the Iblis. In my opinion, now they know that they had made the wrong decision to leave Dr Nasoha but they do not want to make taubah and istigfar. Iblis told them to continue their stubborness and not to admit their mistakes. Iblis told them not to make taubah and istigfar but to continue spreading lies and fitnah about Dr Nasoha. Many peoples do not believe to their lies about Dr Nasoha anymore as Allah has shown to the world whatever they used to tell to others about Dr Nasoha in the past were all lies. They used to spread many lies about me; among the lies that they have made; I was mentally sick, I believed in bomoh, I used Jinns and makes sihir to others, I was syirik, I have become a kafir similar to Bashisah, I will be having only worldly things but I will not have Islam with me and many other lies. Allah has counter on all the attack and lies they have made on me. Now Allah has made me the Professor in the Faculty of Optometry, Twintech International University College. Allah has helped me to revive the Faculty of Optometry in that Twintech University College and the University has awarded me a full Professorship. How could a mentally sick person can become a Professor and able to revive a dead faculty when even a normal person would not be able to do so. Allah with His grace has enabled me to cure many patients with mental disorder diseases and Jemaah Tabligh is trying to spread lies about me that I am mentally sick. Maulana Saad of Nizammuddin also told the members of Jemaah Tabligh that I am sick and that they should make doa for me. I am not sick or mentally sick as told by Jemaah Tabligh. I know that I am under the attack of devil syaitan. In order to attack me and the work of Prophet Muhammad saw, Iblis is using the elders and the members of Jemaah Tabligh. Jemaah Tabligh is using excuses in order not to do the work of Prophet Muhammad saw and giving excuses is the method which was used by Azazil to disobey the order of Allah. In order to prevent other members of Jemaah Tabligh in Malaysia from following me and doing the work of Prophet Muhammad saw, Maulana Saad of Nizammuddin ordered the members of Jemaah Tabligh in Malaysia, not to come near me, not to listen to my lectures and not to have any relation whatsoever with me. One of the methods used previously by the Kafir Quraish of Mecca to prevent others from following Islam was to prevent them from coming near to Prophet Muhammad saw and from listening to the talk given by Prophet Muhammad saw. The same method which was used by the Kafir Quraish to prevent peoples from entering Islam is now used by the elders of Jemaah Tabligh to prevent their members from doing the work of Prophet Muhammad saw. Both the teacher of the Kafir Quraish of Mecca at the time of Prophet Muhammad saw and the teacher of Jemaah Tabligh is the same who used to be the teacher of all the angels.

Giving excuses is an act of non-performance. What is the real reason Azazil did not want to obey the order of Allah? Azazil did not want to prostrate to Adam because Azazil has the disease of riak or pride. Azazil used to perform prayers and Azazil used to obeys all the other orders of Allah. It appears to all the entire angels that Azazil was a very obedience servant of Allah. He used to obey all the orders of Allah. However when it comes to the order which require him to prostrate to Adam, Azazil disobeyed the order of Allah. It was only when he was ordered to prostrate to Adam he disobeyed the order of Allah. There are many men and jinn who disobey the orders of Allah but they are not cursed by Allah. What was the sin of Azazil which lead him to be cursed by Allah? I belief it was the sin of Azazil to associate Allah with himself. The sin which Azazil commit was known as the sins of syirik. Azazil believed that he was the best of all the creations of Allah in the whole universe. Azazil believed that he should prostrate only to Allah. Azazil believed that he should not be ordered to prostrate to other creations. He thought he should not be ordered to prostrate to a creation of lower status than him like Adam who was made from the clay. At that time, Azazil had kibir and believed that he was a great person. Allah hates when His slaves think that they are great because there is no one who is great except Allah. Allah has reserved the quality of greatness only to Him alone. When a person thinks he is great, he is similar to Iblis. Allah hates the disease of Kibir or riak.

Azazil was so frustrated when he was not being elected by Allah as the Khalifah. He decided not to obey the order of Allah when Allah ordered him to prostrate to Adam. Azazil was not pious and he was not an obedience servant of Allah even though his companions were the angels. This shows pious companions only assist a person to become pious but pious companions will not make a person to become pious.  Allah makes a person to become pious, when a person obeys the orders of Allah. Angels do not have desires but Azazil who is a Jinn and similar to men does have desire. I believe, Azazil does not love Allah but he loves to have power and status. Azazil was very angry with Allah when Allah had chosen Adam to become Khalifah. Azazil thinks negative about Allah. Azazil thinks that Allah had made mistake in choosing Adam to become Khalifah. Azazil believes that Allah should have chosen him to become the Khalifah. Azazil truly believes that among all the creations of Allah, he was the best.  Azazil truly thinks and believes that he is the best of all the creations of Allah in the whole universe. What made Azazil think and believe that he was the best? Azazil thinks that he is the best because he had performed so much ibadah and that he is an alim. Azazil has been infected with the most dangerous disease of the soul; the disease of pride or kibir. Pride and kibir is a disease similar to the disease of syirik.

Instead of acquiring iman, Azazil has acquired pride or kibir. When Azazil thinks and believes that he is the best, Azazil has done syirik to Allah. Allah love all His servants or slaves. Similarly Allah loves Azazil and Allah the all-knowing knows that Azazil is having the disease of pride or kibir. Allah wanted to eradicate the diseases from the heart of Azazil. In order to cure Azazil from the disease, Allah gave Azazil an order. Although the order was meant only for Azazil but in order to protect the image of Azazil as a respected person, Allah also gave the order to the angels. What was the order for Azazil and the angels? Allah ordered Azazil and the angels to prostrate to Adam. Azazil was able to prostrate to Allah but Azazil was not able to prostrate to Adam.  This does not mean, men who do not want to prostrate to Allah or who do not want to perform prayer are worse than Iblis. Allah ordered Azazil to prostrate to Adam because Allah wants to cure the disease of riak and kibir in the heart of Azazil.  In fact Allah was doing good to Azazil, but Azazil on the other hand, think negative towards Allah. It was only on this occasion Allah has ever ordered to His creations to prostrate to other creations, other than Allah. In normal situations, Allah never allows His creations to prostrate to other creations, other than Allah.

One time, the companions of Prophet Muhammad saw wanted to show respect to the Prophet saw by prostrating to the Prophet saw. Companions of Prophet Muhammad saw have seen the non-Muslims in many countries that they had visited show their respect to their Kings by prostrating to their Kings. The companions wanted to show respect to the Prophet saw by prostrating to Prophet Muhammad saw as they have seen being done by the non-Muslims to their kings. Our Prophet Muhammad saw prohibited the companions from prostrating to him because Allah has prohibited men from prostrating to other men. Prophet Muhammad saw said with approximate meaning; if Allah do allows men to prostrate to another man I will certainly order the women to prostrate to their husbands. In this story of Iblis and Adam, Allah teaches us a very important lesson; if we obey the orders of Allah in all situations, a situation we like or a situation we do not like, only with the intention to please Allah, Allah will makes us successful. On the other hand, if we disobey the order of Allah, for whatever reasons we have, Allah will be displeased with us and Allah will makes us unsuccessful.

Allah ordered Azazil to prostrate to Adam in order to cure the disease of pride or riak which is inside the heart of Azazil. Azazil has the choice whether to obey or not to obey the order of Allah. In case Azazil had chosen to obey the order of Allah to prostrate to Adam, Allah will certainly cured the diseases of pride and riak which is in the heart of Azazil and Azazil certainly will be blessed by Allah and Azazil would not become Iblis the leader of devil syaitan. Azazil has made the wrong choice for not obeying the order of Allah. Instead of choosing the path of obedience, Azazil had chosen the path of disobedience and because of that Azazil was cursed by Allah. When Azazil was cursed by Allah, instead of blaming himself, Azazil blame Adam. Azazil did not want to admit his own mistakes. Allah curses Azazil because he had chosen not to prostrate to Adam. Adam had done nothing wrong to Azazil.  Azazil was doing wrong only to himself. Allah is the One who had created Adam. Allah is also the One who had ordered the angels and Azazil to prostrate to Adam. Neither did Adam have ever asked Azazil to prostrate to him nor did Adam have ever asked Allah to order Azazil and the angels to prostrate to him. Although it was Azazil who was doing wrong but Azazil did not want to put the blame on himself but he put the blame on Adam.

We should not think that we are always right. There is no one who is always right except Allah. To err is human and when we make mistake we must ask for forgiveness. It is the order of Allah to always look at the good qualities of others and to always look at our own bad qualities. No one has all the good qualities with him or her. There is no one who has all the good qualities except Allah. There is no one who has all the bad qualities and there is no one who has all the good qualities. Allah orders us to look at the good qualities that others have and to look at the bad qualities that we have. In this way we will be prevented from following Iblis who always look at his good qualities. When we always look at our good qualities, we will become proud and riak as Iblis.  When we always look at our own bad qualities, we will become humble and tawadhuk. Syaitan and Iblis will persuade men to always look at their own good qualities and to always look at the bad qualities of others. Allah orders us to always think good to whatever happens to us because whatever happens to us only happens with the permission of Allah. Whatever Allah does to us is good for us and all the orders given by Allah are good for us. Azazil thinks negative of Allah and because he thinks negative of Allah, he becomes Iblis.

Instead of blaming himself, Azazil put the blame on Adam. Any proud person like Azazil will never blame himself but will always blame others. It is against the dignity of Azazil or anybody who is proud, to admit mistakes. Azazil thinks so highly of himself and Azazil believes that he is the most pious person ever live on this earth. A proud person like Azazil would not admit to have done any mistakes and would not be able to make repentance or taubah to Allah. On the contrary Adam also disobeys the order of Allah but Adam is not a proud person as Azazil. Adam was able to admit mistake and he was able to do repentance or taubah to Allah. Adam was a humble person and he disobeyed the order of Allah because he followed the order of his wife who follows her desire. What was the desire of Hawa? She wanted to live forever in comfort and luxury in paradise. Azazil was a proud person and he had chosen not to obey the order of Allah to prostrate to Adam because he follows his desire. The desire of Iblis is to become a great person. Azazil would not become Iblis and cursed by Allah if Azazil had followed the desire of Allah.
