A Response to the One Who Said: Satan Did Not Commit Disbelief Because He Believed in the Oneness of Lordship?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says that Satan did not commit disbelief, and he cites evidence.
The Shaykh:
You are something else. He did not commit disbelief. He did not commit disbelief.
The questioner:
Yes. He says he cites the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Hijr 15:39] He says: So he believes in Allah. What is the ruling on this man?
The Shaykh:
He believes in the oneness of lordship, my brother. No one denies the oneness of lordship, neither Iblis nor anyone else. But he is a disbeliever regarding the oneness of worship. He is a disbeliever regarding the oneness of worship. And his saying "by what You led me astray" is not correct. He argued with the divine decree and attributed this to Allah, without attributing it to himself. He is the one who left off prostration. He is the one who left off prostration by choice. So it was obligatory for him to attribute this to himself, like Adam when he fell into the sin, he admitted:[Al-A'raf 7:23] So it was obligatory that he admitted his sin and repented to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. But when he says: [Al-Hijr 15:39] and argues with the divine decree, this is a false argument. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The female questioner asks: Do I have to observe a waiting period or not, since my husband...
The Shaykh:
He said "by what You led me astray." He did not say "by what You led me astray." He said "by what You led me astray." This is the doctrine of the Jabriyyah, may Allah protect us from it. This is the doctrine of the Jabriyyah. Yes.
