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

Section One:<br />

Iblis has deceived people who have witnessed <strong>The</strong> Creator's capability.<br />

However, the two arguments that we mentioned previously<br />

brought doubt to them. One of them said:<br />

,. ,,,. ,, > ,,,,. ,,<br />

v; du;;i_;q-1_,<br />

"And even if I should be brought back to my Lord."<br />

[al-Kalf (18): 36]<br />

and Al-'As <strong>Ibn</strong> Wa'il said:<br />

14,., L. .J "i<br />

**" ,,,,<br />

.r ,,,. /.,,,.,, .ot. ..<br />

"I will surely be given wealth and children [in the next<br />

life]."<br />

[Maryam (19): 77]<br />

<strong>The</strong>y only said this because of their doubt. What they are saying<br />

is: even if resurrection will take place, then we will be fine because<br />

we were given a lot of bounty in this life, so we will surely not be<br />

prevented from such bounties in the Hereafter.<br />

Itis a mistake to believe this, because giving someone from worldly<br />

bounties may be in order to lure him, or to punish him. Do you not<br />

see that a person may prevent his son from getting certain things in<br />

order to protect him, but may allow his servant to dwell into his<br />

desires (because he does not care much about him).<br />
