Chapter Five: Devil's <strong>Deception</strong> in Matters of Creed (al- 'aqd'id) and Religion<br />

saldm) was Allah.<br />

Abu MuJ::iammad al-NubakhtI said: 'Al-Malikis and al-Ya'qubis<br />

claimed that Maryam gave birth to the Lord. Iblis whispered to some<br />

of them to believe that 'Isa was Allah's son.' Others claimed that<br />

'Isa had two essences, one ancient and the other recent. <strong>The</strong>y confirmed<br />

'Isa's need for food and that he was crucified and unable to<br />

repel harm away from himself. <strong>The</strong>y said: "That which was crucified<br />

was the humanistic essence.'' Well, could not the divine essence<br />

have repelled harm away from the humanistic essence?]<br />

Iblis also deceived them into denying our Prophet (;i) although<br />

he was mentioned in the InjIL Some People of the Book admitted<br />

that our Prophet was a true Prophet but sent only to Arabs. This<br />

was another aspect of Iblis's deception of them, because once they<br />

admitted that Mul:iammad was a Prophet, they should have confirmed<br />

that he could not have been a liar. He said: "I was sent to all<br />

people.''104, and he (;i) wrote letters to kings of non-Arab nations<br />

inviting them to Islam.<br />

Iblis also deceived Jews and Christians into believing that Allah<br />

will never punish them for their ancestor's sake. <strong>The</strong>ir ancestors<br />

included Prophets and righteous people. Allah (the Mighty and the<br />

Majestic) reported their saying:<br />

"We are the children of Allah and His beloved."<br />

[ai-Md'idah (5): 18],<br />

meaning: our ancestors included 'Uzayr and 'Isa ('alhis-sakim).<br />
