How did Iblis whisper to Adam (peace be upon him) in Paradise, when Iblis was forbidden from entering Paradise?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, let us get to work.
The Shaykh : What is the problem? What is in it?
The questioner : Yes. Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : We told them, we do not enter like that.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : I want to ask you, when was he expelled to Paradise?
The Shaykh : No tears, correct?
The questioner : Okay.
The Shaykh : When did he disobey?
The questioner : This is the creation of Adam.
The Shaykh : Perfect, so I understand that you understand the issue. He says there is no issue, no problem in this, because Allah the Exalted is able to convey Satan’s whisper even if he were at the gate of Paradise. Or it is said that Allah forbade Iblis from entering Paradise to enjoy it, to take pleasure in it, but as for entering to exert influence over Adam, that is not possible, and he would exit, even though he was expelled from it initially. Now, there are two answers: either it is said that he whispered to him before his creation, or it is said that what was forbidden to Iblis regarding Paradise was entering it for enjoyment, but if he entered it to exert influence over this one, that is a different matter. Yes.
