 Otherwise, Iblis, if you explain Iblis in any way that he be independent from Allah, that's wrong, it's wrong. Iblis is an agent of Allah. Iblis sinned, made a very big mistake. I won't go into the story now. He asked for a respite, a time period, to show he can mislead people, misguide people. Allah granted it to him, Allah granted it to him. Then Allah suddenly in the Qur'an, it's a Qur'anic discussion, suddenly Allah comes with these imperatives, it's an imperative, amr, to order inside. Sharik, home, into partnership with them. Sharik, home, it's an imperative. Allah is ordering him. He's an agent of Allah. We're at home, promise them things that aren't real and so on and so forth. These are imperatives. Not that Iblis is independent and he does everything outside Allah's jurisdiction. Of course that's not the case. That's a Zoroastrian notion, it's wrong. He's an agent of Allah and actually, not only is he an agent of Allah, if he's an agent of Allah first the question is, agent, agents in what? Because Allah's attributes manifest since pre-eternity to post-eternity, all his actions, all his attributes. When he wants to manifest, for example, knowledge from the nursery to university, the agent is called Jibril. From the nursery to university and thereafter it's all Jibril forces in play. When he wants to, whenever this sign of life being taken, even when the beard is becoming white or when someone dies or when a plant rots, these are all Israeli forces in play. That the agent is now this angel called Israel and those under Israel. Many angels work under the jurisdiction of angels. These are all forces of Allah in play. Now one of Allah's attributes is model, the misguider. Allah is the misguider. It's in the Quran. Yodelo, man, yashor. He misguides those who want it, who want misguidance. The pronoun in yashor goes back to the relative noun man. Don't revert it to Allah. That's on a par with Arabic syntax. But even if you did, it can be justified or explained. Allah misguides those who wanted. You wanted misguidance, it's cause and effect. You wanted misguidance, Allah misguided you. But you did something. Now when Allah misguides you, who are his forces in play? Who is his agent? Enter Iblis. Iblis works under the jurisdiction of Allah, not outside. So Iblis then manifests Allah's attribute of the misguider. But you did something wrong. What did you do wrong? You forgot Allah. During a 24-hour day, to the degree, you forgot Allah. During a 24-hour period, in proportion to that degree, Iblis forces will come into play. And temptations will come your way, to the degree that you forgot Allah. Not that Iblis will come to you no matter what. If you do everything right, why should he come towards you? To misguide you. That's not a wrong, that's not a correct understanding. Tests, that's another issue. But why should Iblis come to tempt you in the wrong way when you've done nothing wrong? So that's one issue. And actually in this agency of Iblis, he is ma'asum in this duty that he's been given from Allah. He won't err. Look, he's ma'asum in his duty of misguiding people. In the same way that Jibro'il, Isro'il, Isro'fil, Miko'il or ma'asum in exercising and executing their divine duty.
