“When you read a verse of prostration then prostrate, Shaytan departs crying and says, ‘Woe be to him. He was ordered with prostration and he prostrated - so for him is Paradise. I was ordered with prostration and I refused - so for me is the Fire.’” [Saheeh Muslim] Although Iblees was expelled from Paradise due to his arrogant behavior, Allah postponed his death until the Day of Judgement when, “(Iblees) said, ‘Allow me respite till the Day they are raised up (i.e. the Day of Resurrection).’ (Allah) said, ‘You are of those allowed respite.’” [Soorah al-A’raf (7): 14-15] Imam Ibn Katheer writes, “Allah gave Shaytan what he asked for out of His wisdom, being His decision and decree that is never prevented or resisted.” [Tafseer Ibn Katheer] So, what is the wisdom behind Shaytan, who is banished from Allah’s Mercy, being granted his request Discussing the wisdom why Iblees will remain - 11-
alive until the end of the world, Imam Ibnul-Qayyim cited the following reasons (mentioned in brief); A) Allah’s Wisdom decreed that the father of mankind should be tested, and that his children after him should be tested as well. Those who fight against Shaytan will achieve salvation and those who go along with him will share his fate. So Shaytan should remain alive in order to fulfill the aim for which he was created. B) Allah is All-Just and He compensates every good deed. In case of the believer, He rewards him in this world and the Hereafter, while the disbelievers are allotted their rewards in this world without any recompense waiting for them in the Hereafter. Abu Dawood At-Tayalisi recorded in his Musnad that Anas tsaid that the Messenger of Allah rsaid, “Allah does not wrong the faithful even concerning one good action, for he will be rewarded for it by provision in this life and awarded for it in the Hereafter. As for the disbeliever, he will be given provision in this life for his good action, and on the Day of Resurrection, he will not have any good deed.” [Quoted from Tafseer Ibn Katheer] So, Iblees was given respite as a reward for some of the good deeds that he had performed in the past. C) The sin of Iblees was extremely serious; he questioned Allah’s Wisdom and persisted in disobeying Him. Moreover, he is the leader and origin of evil and disbelief. He should thus be punished accordingly for all the evils that follow his foremost transgression. So, Iblees was given respite in order to increase in sin. Respite until the Day of Resurrection is not an honor for him. In his case, death would have been better; it would reduce his evil and punishment. - 12-
