Some of them take hot coal and set it on their stomach until his
intestines come out of his belly and dies. Others stand near the fire
until all of their fat is burnt away, and then fall into the fire. And
others chop pieces of their flesh and threw them into the fire.
Some of them worship water claiming that it is the source of life.
They prostrate to water. And some of them jump into fire then into
water. They continue to do so until they die.
Some of them die from self inflicted hunger and thirst. They first
fall down out of weakness, then loose the ability to talk, then looses
their senses, and die.
Others wander off in the lands until they die, others drown themselves,
and others have no relations with women, and cover only
their private parts.
What is strange is that Indians were considered sources of wisdom.
Glory to He who blinded their hearts to the point that Iblis
became able to lead them this way.

The Devils Deception of the Jews (al-:Juhudj
Iblis's deception of Jews took many forms. Here are some examples:
They claimed that there are similarities between The Creator and
His creation. Had this been true, then everything applicable to the
creator would be applicable to the creation. Abu J:Iamid said that
Jews claim that god was a man made from light sitting on a chair of
light, wearing a crown of light, and that he had limbs similar to human
limbs.
