The Kingdom of Satan
The nearest and most beloved of you to me on the Day of Judgment
are those with the best ofmanners and the farthest and most hated
of you to me are those with the worst of manners.
Prophet Muhammad (SAWS[1])
Several factors happen to act as obstacles to becoming among the
people of paradise, the biggest ofwhich is Satan. He has summoned
to deviate humans from the path of righteousness by spreading
hispeople among them to follow his own laws. He declared a war
against ethics that aims at changingthe instinct of ethics created
by Allah[2] among humans, thus establishing immorality as the
rulingfactor in societies. As a result, people with good ethics
would feel different and estranged, so theirethics start to falter,
the thing that allows their good natures to, eventually,
change.
All this is applied through what the Quran described as the
party of Satan which he founded for tworeasons
1. A methodology can not survive without students.
2. Satan is aware of how hard it is to fully influence someone
if they are not from your kind. Therefore, he took followers from
among humans through which he could achieve full influence
overtheir fellow humans.
In order to recruit someone into his party, he does 3
things:
1. Brings distractions and temptations that turn one away from
Allah because he knows that, withAllah, youre the strongest and,
without Him, youre the weakest.
2. Makes one accept the gradual decline towards immorality. Its
a fact that bad ethics do notoccur all of a sudden; one changes
from good to bad gradually (just as changing from being bad andback
to being good happens gradually). This way, one doesnt feel
themselves changing. Allah says, inthe Quran, what can be
translated as: O you who have believed, do not follow the
footstepsof Satan. And whoever follows the footsteps of Satan -
indeed, he enjoins immorality and

DAT (Dar al-Tarjama) is not responsible for the thoughts or
ideas of the authors it chooses to translate to, nor is it
responsible for discussing or explain
wrongdoing (TMQ[3], 24:21).
3. Convinces one that being bad and away from the path of
righteousness is the way to achievehappiness. He would fill your
head with thoughts of how hard, and even useless, it is to be good
wheneveryone around is doing the wrong and using illegal means to
achieve what they want. As a result,one becomes convinced that
cheating, immorality and other Satanic deeds are the only means
toachieve ones desires.
Once one falls victim to this, he accepts the gradual adoption
of their personality to immorality. Theybecome convinced that evil
deeds increase chances in life while staying on the path of
righteousnessgives you zero chances. This is when one has
officially joined the Party of Satan.
Tomorrows episode will tackle the types of people which Satan
has to deal with in order to make themjoin his party and prevent
them from becoming from among the people of paradise.

[2] The word Allah is the Arabic term for God. Although the use
of the word "Allah" is most oftenassociated with Islam, it is not
used exclusively by Muslims; Arab Christians and Arabic-speaking
Jewsalso use it to refer to the One God. The Arabic word expresses
the unique characteristics of the OneGod more precisely than the
English term. Whereas the word "Allah" has no plural form in
Arabic, theEnglish form does, and the word 'Allah' in Arabic has no
connotation of gender. Allah is the Godworshipped by all Prophets,
from Adam to Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad.

is for the realized meaning, so far, of thestated (Surah:Ayah) of
the Qur'an. Reading the translated meaning of the Qur'an can never
replacereading it in Arabic, the language in which it was
revealed.
