You know that Iblis was the first believer,

How? What do you mean,“ Iblis is a believer”? He was a believer, he was on our side,

How? What do you mean,“ Iblis is a believer”? He was a believer, he was on our side,

كان مؤمن وكان في صفنا وكان أزيدك من الشعر بيت كان مع الملائكة كان في السماء فوق.

So how did he become Iblis then? Yeah, focus with me. Iblis, or Azazeel before he

So how did he become Iblis then? Yeah, focus with me. Iblis, or Azazeel before he

إبليس أو عزازيل قبل ما يصير إبليس.

became Iblis. This Azazeel was totally obedient.

He really was a devil and a jinn, but he was a jinn who,

God raised his status above the status of the ordinary jinn on earth.

And He lifted him and took him where?

Of course with the angels, the angels lifted him and took him to God,

with those who were created from light, with the creatures…

Focus here, the creatures that do not make mistakes and do not disobey.

Those made of light, the angels.

Imagine a jinn living among the angels,

كان عزازيل شديد الطاعة.

He would not leave out any act of obedience,

Meaning that, because of how intense his obedience was,

God, exalted and glorified,

And he lived a good, pleasant life. You mean Iblis? Meaning Azazel.

اللي هو إبليس؟

Iblis later became Iblis,

Iblis later became Iblis,

I will tell you how he became Iblis. Okay. The days passed,

but there was something inside him that kept growing. Which was arrogance,

اللي هو الكبرياء، الطغيان، الحسد.

This kept growing and growing and growing in the seventh heaven, and no one felt it,

في ذيك الأثناء للحين ابن آدم ما وطت رجله الأرض.

Until then, according to the accounts,

And the angels were above in heaven.

Meaning the earth had neither Adam, nor our forefathers, nor anyone on it.

All right. Until God, exalted and glorified, created our father Adam.

All right. Until God, exalted and glorified, created our father Adam.

He created our father Adam. Of course, when He created him,

He did not create him and breathe the soul into him immediately, no.

In the reports it is said, and in the hadiths it is said, that for forty…

who is Azazel,

مجسم يعني لسه مجوف يعني لسه.

he looked like that and the soul had not yet been breathed into him. The jinn of

course has the ability to enter… To enter the body, to go into the cavities,

في الجسد يقدر يدخل في التجاويف يقدر يدخل داخل عروقك يشوف.

So he went into Adam and started looking at his cavities and…

So he went into Adam and started looking at his cavities and…

He felt a grudge and said,“ Why was he created with these superior qualities?”

“ Why was I created from fire and he created from clay?” He started comparing. Nice.

So the comparison started with him. Envy kicked in.

So the comparison started with him. Envy kicked in.

Envy and the arrogance inside him kicked in.

Envy and the arrogance inside him kicked in.

“ I was created from fire and he was created from clay.

and his… Creation was very good. He was created from clay,

you know, from the soil of the earth.

So envy began to boil and run with him, and we do not know, forty days…

Forty months, forty years, we do not know.

But during that whole period, the jinn kept going in and saying,“ By God,

“ By God, I will do this to you,” he would be saying to himself.

Until Allah, exalted is He,

حلو.

blew the soul into him. Then Allah, exalted is He,

commanded the angels and Iblis to prostrate to Adam. Right or not?

All the angels prostrated. The angels, of course,

All the angels prostrated. The angels, of course,

never disobey Allah, exalted is He. So all of them prostrated,

imagine all the wings, all the heads bowed to Adam, our father Adam. Except Iblis,

he refused and was arrogant. Nice. Focus, he did not prostrate.

حلو.

ركز، ما سجد.

He did not prostrate. He did not obey Allah, exalted is He.

He did not prostrate. He did not obey Allah, exalted is He.

Of course, prostrating to Adam does not mean that you worship Adam, no.

You obey the Cre… you obey Allah in His command regarding the new creature that had

the soul blown into it. Do you understand the idea?

So Allah commanded the angels and Iblis to prostrate to Adam, except Iblis,

he acted arrogantly. He said, Like…

who is he for me to prostrate to him? Look, imagine, look,

he is saying to Allah, exalted is He, Who is he for me to prostrate to him?

Look where the arrogance reached, he refused and was arrogant.

Here he was expelled from the mercy of Allah, exalted is He,

Iblis of course means“ the rejected one” or“ the outcast,” that is, Iblis.

Yeah, yeah, something like that.

But before he was sent down from heaven, he asked God Almighty for one thing.

He said, meaning to this effect,“ I want You to let me live until the end of time,

He wants to misguide us. He wants to take us with them,

He wants to misguide us. He wants to take us with them,

He wants to misguide us. He wants to take us with them,

to Hell. Ah, to drag us along with him. You get the idea?

He wants to take us with him to He… out of his spite.

He wants to take us with him to He… out of his spite.

Because Adam is the one who caused him to be cast down, so to speak. Yeah. He says,

out of his spite and his envy toward the children of Adam,“ By God,

out of his spite and his envy toward the children of Adam,“ By God,

I will surely mislead them.” So God Almighty granted him what he wanted.

And indeed, he will be the last to die in all this era.

And he is here on earth with us. That is Iblis.

The last to die before the Angel of Death. Then right after him,

The last to die before the Angel of Death. Then right after him,

the Angel of Death will pass away, will die. That’s it.

I have to say, I congratulate you on this story. By Almighty God,

I have to say, I congratulate you on this story. By Almighty God,

it has information I honestly hear for the first time.

This‘ Azazil,’ I have never heard of him before, honestly. ‘ Azazil’— yeah,

عزازيل إيه أنا اللي أعرفه إبليس.
