 Well, the audacious decision of a Satanist leader to embrace Islam has set up controversy on social media. I took considerable time to carefully examine some of the comments on the Turkish individual's TikTok post, where he revealed his conversion from Satanism to Islam after years of posing as a Satanist. I have reached a conclusion that people are skeptical about his conversion due to the diminishing faith in God's redemptive power within the minds and lives of modern society. Check this out. His appearance would easily lead some people to have some conclusions about him, and in the past, they would be right. Pink hair, multiple piercings on the face, and some immodest choice of clothes was the normal appearance of Effa Zabani. What many didn't know was Effa was a boy filled with too many questions and too few people cared to answer them. It was easy to write him off based on appearance and demeanor. In cases where he had the opportunity to debate any Muslim, he always came up with well-prepared questions and evidence to back them up. From his behavior and choice of words, it was easy to conclude that, while he may appear antagonistic, he was willing to submit if he finds answers. He said more than once, convince me, maybe I will believe. What notable aspect of this story is his willingness to sing the truth. He encouraged the podcast host to persuade him about Islam and the host did so with enthusiasm, much to his surprise. Zabani's sincerity became evident as he decided to convert to Islam after what seemed to be an undeniable conviction. After thinking about it for a few minutes, Effa finally decided to become a Muslim and take the Shahada on air. The moral lesson I derive from this is that Allah never gifts up on anyone no matter how morally astray they have become. He's always ready to welcome those who genuinely repent into the embrace of his chosen ones. He is truly all merciful and of course, all loving. This particular video of Zabani in Makkah was in tears. The focal points of the controversies surrounding his decision to embrace Islam. Some people out there have lost faith in the possibility of miracles through God. They have forgotten that all power belongs to God. He can guide whoever he wills may. One particular comment caught my attention. The comment suggested that he may have made a pact with a devil and might not be redomible through Islam. This comment referred to Zabani's statement in the video where he referred to himself as a Satanist, a prophet of Satanism and claimed to have lived for 456 years, an incredible claim anyways. Doctors are kind of like a responder to people's concern about whether Allah can forgive Anna Zabzi Pani after genuine repentance. But if you note the story of Iblis, it's mentioned in Surah Araf, chapter 7 verse 14. When Iblis says that we set to the angels, bowed down to Adam, all bowed down except Iblis. Iblis mentioned Surah Baqarah chapter 2, Surah Araf chapter 7. But instead of repending to Allah, Iblis says in Surah Araf chapter 7 verse 14 that give me respite till the day they arrived up. That me respite means please delay my punishment. Give me respite and see what I do. He challenges Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala when I challenge you. So Allah says in Surah Araf chapter 7 verse 18, He gives him respite and says that all those women who follow you, I will fill hell with all of you. And as far as Iblis repenting, here the question doesn't come because Allah further says in Surah Araf chapter 15 verse 34 that He is the accursed one, that Allah has the knowledge of the future, of the unseen. So Allah knows in advance that this person, He will never repent. As Allah says in the Quran in Surah Baqarah chapter 2 or 7 and 8, Allah says, that Allah has put a seal on the hearts of those people, on those kafirs, and they will never come to the state path. And similarly we have examples of Allah predicts even about Abu Lahab. That he was one of the strongest enemies of the beloved prophet. Allah tells in advance, He reveals the Surah, Tabitha abila habi wa tab, the father of the flame. He was one of the strongest enemies to the prophet and He says that He will never accept Islam. And He will burn in hell. It was a prediction. All He had to do to prove the Quran wrong was to say that I am Muslim and said the Shadah, 10 years He had the opportunity, He did not do it. So Allah knew He will never repent. Similarly, Allah subhanattala knows that Iblis He will never repent. So that is the reason He has said that He is to you an avowed enemy. Allah says in Surah Baqarah chapter 2 verse 168 that ya ilu zinamunu, O you believe, be careful of the khutua to shaitan, of the footsteps of the devil, for He to you is an avowed enemy. So with all the verses of the Quran realize that Iblis will never repent and Allah knows that therefore He is called He is the avowed enemy of the human being and He is accursed. Well what I can deduce from this is that the free will granted to humans allows them to chose between repentance and domination. Any individual who generally feel remorse for disobeying Allah and decides to chose path of life through sincere repentance will be forgiven and walking back into the fold of the chosen. However Iblis will not be treated in the same manner as He has misused His free will by opting for internal enmity with God. Therefore the body has been forgiven and His past transgressions, His past sins have been washed away with His declaration of the Islamic Shahada. Please like and share and subscribe.
