The Devil’s Deception [Talbis Iblis] by Imam Ibn al-Jawzi

It is from enmity and hopelessness of the devil that his endeavour to misguide mankind from the Path of Allah will persist. This misguidance takes many shades and forms; be it from planting seeds of doubt, or giving rise to deviant ideas antithetical to the sacred teachings of Islam, and essentially becoming entangled within regressive intellectual and rhetorical discourses. The Ummah has suffered varying levels of deviation, some of which remain prevalent today, while more continue to be uncovered – and such is the impact of delusive plottings of the devil and his allies.

This book offers the Ibn Jawzee’s views on the Shi’a sect, as well as various other groups such as the Khawaarij (Khaarijites) and the Baatineeyah. An authoritative book containing a wealth of information on the beginnings of some of the sects of Islam, in light of the Quran and Sunnah. Abdur Rahman ibn Alee ibn Ja’far al Jawzee was born in the city of Baghdad around 1114CE. Amongst his Shaykhs is Muhammad ibn Naasir al-Baghdadee, a scholar of Hadeeth, fiqh and Arabic Grammer.

May Allah al-Kareem al-Ghafoor have Mercy on all of us, save and protect us from the all evils, Forgive us our sins, keep us steadfast on His true Deen (as practised by our beloved Prophet SallAllāhu Alaihi wa Sallam, his Companions and the at-Taaba’een), Guide those of us who are Misguided, and unite the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad SallAllāhu Alaihi wa Sallam, Aameen!
