Visdom in Creating Shaytaan

 Both good and evil are from the creation of Allah. Allah has clarified two paths to mankind. He says:

´´And by nafs (Aadam or a person or a soul, etc.), and Him Who perfected him in proportion; then He showed him is wrong for him and what is right for him; indeed he succeeds who purifies his own self (i.e. obeys and performs all that Allah ordered, by following the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism and by doing righteous good deeds). And indeed he fails who corrupts his own self (i.e. disobeys what Allah has ordered by rejecting the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism or by following polytheism, etc. or by doing every kind of evil wicked deeds).´´ (As-Shams: 7-10) Allah also says:

´´Then, for him who tagha (transgressed all bounds in disbeliev, oppressopm amd evil deeds of disobedience to Allah). And preferred the life of his world (by following his evil desires and lusts), verily, his abode will be Hellfire; But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained himself from impure evil desires, and lusts. Verily, Paradise will be his abode.´´ (An-Naazi´aat: 37-41)

Iblees has also threatened mankind and made their misguidance his major concern. Iblees said:

´´Se? This one whom You honoured above me, if You give me respite (keep me alive) to the Day of Resurrection, I will surely seize and mislead his offspring (by them astray) all but a few!´´ (Al-Israa: 62)

It is as if Shaytaan is saying: ´´This human whom You have honoured and to whom You have ordered me to prostrate, will soon cause corruption on the earth, spill blood. O Lord, allow me to beguile him and I shall accomplish all that.´´

Allah could decline his request and cast him into Hellfire instantly, but Allah´s wisdom dictated that He let him be as a test of people´s faith. Hence, He granted Iblees the chance to attempt his threat and granted him respite. Allah says:

´´Shaytaan (Satan) threatens you with poverty and orders you to commit fahsha (evil deeds, illegal sexual intercourse, sins etc.); whereas Allah promises you forgiveness from Himself and bounty, and Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures´ needs, All-Knower.´´ (Al-Baqarah: 268)

Salvation

 None will be saved on the Day of Resurrection except he who used to worship alah alone with Whom there is no associate. As for the other gods, they will lead their adherents into the Fire.

Voluntary Fasting

 Fasting is one of the major acts of worship with which Allah redeems the fasting person from the Fire. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´Fasting is a shield against the Fire (of Hell) just like the shield one of you would use during fighting.´´80 The supererogatory fasting has its virtue. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´He who observes fast for a day in the path of Allah, He will remove his face from the Hell due to (the fast of) that day to the extent of seventy years.´ distance.´´81 The phrase ´in the path of Allah´ could either mean fasting a day sincerely, intending the pleasure of Allah; or fasting in the course of a military expedition in the path of Allah.

Backbiter and Tale-Bearer

 A backbiter is the individual who indugles in backiting which involves mentioning about your brother that which he would detest. The tale-bearer is the person who varries bad tale among the people in order to cause disaffection among them. These sins cause pervading tribulations, and enormous corruption also stems from them. Their perpetrators are among the worst of people and due to their capricious tongue, they speak as dictated by their whims and desires.  Their situation at the time of resurrection will be appalling as the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam mentioned, Whoever eats the flesh of his brother in the world (i.e. bacjbites), he will be presented to him on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said to him, Eat his dead as you have eaten him alive. He would eat him and he would scowl and scream.
