Resistance Against Shaytan

Shaytan is mankind’s greatest enemy. Wisdombehind the Creationof Shaytan Imam Ibnil-Qayyim brings together some of the great wisdom behind the creation of Shaytan in his book, Shifaa al-Ghaleel, p.322, he writes, “In the creation of Iblees and his cohorts, there is wisdom, the details of which cannot be encompassed by anyone except Allah.” A few of many reasons he mentioned are briefly stated below; by struggling against Shaytan and thus reaching lofty ranks of piety that could not have been achieved without Shaytan’s existence. (i.e., fearing the consequences of belittling the Commandments and Prohibitions of Allah) after having witnessed Shaytan’s fall from being amidst the Angels to being Shaytan – the rejected a) The slaves of Allah perfect their servitude to Allah b) The slaves of Allah increase in their Taqwa – 06 –
c) A lesson. d) Shaytan is a trial and test for Allah’s slaves e) Manifestation of Allah’s complete Ability and Authority to create opposites f) The goodness of a thing can only be demonstrated by means of its opposite. g) Allah’s Forbearance and Patience. The fathers of both humankind and jinn were tested. One father – Iblees was too proud and refused to follow Allah’s Commands. He was made to face humiliation and disgrace and expelled from Paradise and doomed to be amongst the people of Hell. He thus, became a lesson for those who show arrogance and persist in their sins. Conversely, the other father, Adam became an example for those who repent and return back to Allah after having committed sins. such as; heavens and earth, light and darkness, Paradise and Hell, water and fire, heat and cold, good and evil, Jibreel and Angels as opposed to Iblees and the Shayateen. It if were not for the ugly, we would not appreciate the virtue of beauty; if it were not for poverty, we would not value wealth. Allah loves to manifest His Forbearance, Patience and Deliberation (lack of haste), immense Mercy and Generosity. This necessitates that He should create those who will anger Him.
