Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim
In the eternal struggle between good and evil, mankind finds itself at the center of a cosmic battle, and at the heart of this battle stands Satan, the embodiment of malevolence. The question that has intrigued the minds of theologians, scholars, and seekers of truth throughout the ages is, “Why does Satan actually want us to leave this world without our faith?” The answer to this profound question lies in the depths of human history and the enigmatic motives of the Devil himself.
The Genesis of Envy
Satan’s desire to see humanity fall from grace is rooted in his profound jealousy. It is a story that transcends time and space, beginning in the heavenly realm, where he was cast out of Paradise for his envy. His expulsion from the divine abode was a consequence of his refusal to bow to Adam, the first human, as commanded by the Almighty Lord.
With a heart filled with envy, he approached the Creator and made a vow. “O my Lord! I will prevent mankind from returning to Paradise. I will take them to hell at any cost,” Satan declared with unwavering determination. Thus, the battle lines were drawn, and the stage was set for a perpetual struggle between good and evil.
The Deceptive Allure of Satan
Since the moment of his banishment, Satan has relentlessly striven to seduce mankind. His methods are as insidious as they are cunning, appealing to human weaknesses, doubts, and desires. It is through this deceptive allure that he attempts to draw people away from the path of righteousness and into the abyss of darkness.
Many individuals have unwittingly fallen victim to his temptations, while others have knowingly succumbed to his influences. Satan’s promise to lead humanity astray remains his ultimate objective, and he employs a myriad of strategies to achieve this sinister goal.
The Saints’ Noble Promise
However, just as Satan made his malevolent promise, the saints made a sacred vow. These righteous souls declared to the Almighty, “O our Lord! We will rescue Your servants from the cursed hands of Satan. We will never allow him to take people into hell.” This is the solemn duty of the saints, and they pursue it with unwavering devotion.
The prophets and saints share a common purpose in life – to guide and protect humanity, leading them back to the gates of Paradise. The prophets, in their time, engaged in a relentless battle against the forces of evil, directly confronting Satan’s deceptions. Today, this noble mission is carried forward by the saints, who are the successors and representatives of the prophets.
Sheikh Bahauddin’s Insight
The teachings of Sheikh Bahauddin, a revered spiritual leader, shed light on the ongoing battle between good and evil and the role of saints in this cosmic struggle. Sheikh Bahauddin emphasizes that the duty of the saints is to ensure that the promise they made to the Almighty is fulfilled. They stand as guardians, protectors, and guides for humanity, shielding them from the snares of Satan and illuminating the path toward salvation.
In the grand tapestry of existence, the battle between good and evil rages on, and humanity finds itself in the midst of this eternal conflict. It is our choices, guided by the wisdom of the saints and the teachings of the prophets, that will ultimately determine our fate.
