What do you say about the one who says that Satan is long-lived?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh (may Allah preserve him), some people describe Satan as long-lived, and when they are asked why?
They say it is because he has been alive since Allah created him until the Hour, and he is still alive. Is this description correct?
The Shaykh : It is not correct. In fact, "O long-lived one" is not said except in a context of praise. So who praises Satan?
Heh heh, Glory be to You, O our Lord, and all praise is Yours. I bear witness that there is no deity but You. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.
