Dajjaal … Antichrist

Part 8

These mystic groups with lots of different titles- whether calling themselves jewish, christian, muslim or …- within their so called charismatic circles, thru different ways such as lying and pretending … and through magic and sorcery … and through using demons and jinns to firstly cause problems for their believers and then some times to remove the problems … and …, make their followers believe that angels, centers of cosmic energy, and … are casting out demons and jinns, healing diseases and performing miracles thru “unity” with them, and … . And such groups usually over-emphasise on love and justify Hell in one way or another … and claim that their followers are safe from any serious chastisement of Fire …

Let us ponder about the aforementioned verse 34:42 in which Allah (SWT) has warned that “Taste the chastisement of the Fire which you denied and called a lie.”

The following statements of the Prophet Jesus (SBUH) as narrated in the bible are clearly about such practices in christianity:

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.

Let us also pay attention to the following Qur’anic verse in which the warning is given to those who seek the jinn for help that the jinn shall INCREASE their problems:

Qur’an 72:6 And that persons from among men used to seek refuge with persons from among jinn, so they increased them in misery (رهق).

In the Tafsir of ‘Qommy it is narrated from Zoraarah who said that Imam Baaqer (SBUH) has stated that there have been ignorant people believing in seeking shelter with Shaitaan, adding to their problems … and elsewhere in the same book of Tafsir  it is stated that رهق means عذاب (torment, agony, distress, misery, hardship, …) …

Shaitan as part of his tradition and plot has been trying to take humankind away from seeking the help of those whom Allah has introduced as the means toward Salvation, and instead to take humankind- knowingly and unknowingly- into the misery of getting involved with jinns, magic and …  and thus slowly but surely take human toward eternal perdition …

This is also noteworthy to mention that it is not that only those belonging to one of these groups have fallen in the traps of Shaitan … rather any one forsaking Hadrat Mohammad and the AhlulBayt (SBUT)’s practical and spiritual teachings and ignoring the centrality of acceptance of their Wilayat … in his/her life, is actually already entangled in Shaitan’s traps and in danger of his malevolent influences …

Let us at this point- with our hearts and souls- read a few precious Hadiths from the one and only Amir al-Mo’menin, Hadrat ‘Ali (SBUH) talking to one of his companions, Kumail ibn Ziyaad Nakha'i … and in turn to all humankind; these Hadiths are narrated in Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 74; Taraa’ef al-Hekam, vol. 2;…:

O Kumail! There is no enemy worse than Shaytan and the devils with him, and nothing can hurt you more than they can. Their wish is for you to be with them tomorrow in Hell when they are being tortured and they will be in Hell eternally and the flames of Hell will never be reduced.

Let us pay attention that Shaitan never says that he is Shaitan and that his goal is to beguile and misguide us, rather he makes us believe that we are following God and doing good, and some times he even firstly encourages us to do acts of worship of God then he destroys us:

O Kumail! Shaitan does not give promises from himself rather (deceitfully lies and) gives promises from Allah so that he may lead people to sin and entangle them.

O Kumail! Shaytan does not divert you to himself. He makes you deviate from Allah and pushes you to disobey Allah, and then you will be troubled.

O Kumail! Shaytan will come to you gently and kindly with the best of his tricks and will order you to perform acts of obedience that you enjoy, so you will think he is an honourable angel, but he is really the accursed Shaytan. And once you trust him he will order you to commit the greatest of sins, the sins from which you cannot be saved.

Let us pay attention that Shaitan and his troops even grant our wishes and then step by step feed us pride, making us feel confident that we are on the right path and Allah is surely pleased with us, then gradually destroy our beliefs and ourselves:

O Kumail! The devils will deceive you with themselves, and if that does not work they will deceive you with you. They will beautify your desires to you and they will grant your wishes and your desires. They will seduce you. They will make you forget. They will order you. They will prevent you. They will make you overoptimist regarding Allah, thus making you very hopeful; an excessive hope which will make you proud, and you will be seduced. You will then commit sins and the punishment for the sinner is Hell.

Let us pay attention that Shaitan monitors our thoughts and actions and attacks each one of us at our own level:

O Kumail! The devils use deception, conflict, vanity, devilish insinuations and pride according to the level of the person's obedience and disobedience of God. And based on that they will seize him.

Let us pay attention that the only way to be saved Inshaa’Allah is the Wilayat of Mohammad and his Aal (SBUT):

O Kumail! Shaytan creates traps for you. Be careful not to fall in them. O Kumail! The earth is full of their traps and no one is safe from the traps except those who hold on to us (the AhlulBayt). Allah has said that no one can survive from the traps except His servants, who are our followers, "As for my devoted servants, you (Shaytan) shall have no power over them" (Qur’an 15:42) and "His authority (that of the Shaytan) is only over those who befriend him and associate others with Allah"(16:100).

O Kumail! A Believer is one who follows us. Those who do not follow us, neglect us and will not be with us. And those who are not with us will be in the lowest levels of Hell.

O Kumail! Allah’s wrath is upon those who do not guard themselves from Shaytan and the devils with him, by using His name and the names of His Prophet and the Imams. Allah is wrathful with those who do not seek refuge with Him and with those who do not send Allah's Salawaat on His Prophet and his AhlulBayt.

O Kumail! If Shaytan whispers in your heart, say: I seek refuge with the powerful Allah from the deviating Shaytan, and I seek refuge with the chosen and praiseworthy Mohammad, with whom Allah is pleased, from the Measured and Decreed, and I seek refuge with the God of mankind from all the jinn and human beings. O Kumail! Submit to Allah so that He may keep you safe from the evil plotting of Shaytan and the devils with him, who are like him.

“اَعُوذُ بِاللهِ القَوِیِّ مِنَ الشَّیطَانِ الغَوِیِّ

وَ اَعُوذُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ الرَّضِیِّ صلّی الله علیه و آله و سلّم مِن شَرِّ مَا قُدِّرَ وَ قُضِیَ

وَ اَعُوذُ بِاِلهِ النَّاسِ مِن شَرِّ الجِنَّهِ وَ النَّاسِ اَجمَعِین.”

Beware! Shaitan can become one’s partner even in his children:

O Kumail! Remember these words that Allah said to the cursed Shaytan, "Summon against them your cavalry and infantry, and share their riches and children with them, and make promises to them. But Shaytan promises them nothing but deceit" (17:64)

O Kumail! Save yourself with our Wilayat or Shaytan will become a partner of your riches and your children with you.

Let us ponder … and worry about any changes to the pure teachings of Hadrat Mohammad and AhlulBayt (SBUT):

O Kumail! Nasaara (Christians) did not deny Allah, neither did Yahud (Jews). They did not even deny ‘Eesa or Moosa. O Kumail! What they did was they added, removed and changed things. By doing so, they denied Allah, disbelieved, became accursed, resented and they did not repent. That is why they are not accepted. O Kumail! Allah accepts only from the pious ones.

Please refer to the E-book “Ghadir: Declaration of the Truth, from creation to eternity” and the article “Repudiation of Philosophical and Irfani (Mystical) Fundamentals in Imam Riza (Salaam Be Upon Him)’s Monotheistic Teachings”, as also another chapter of this E-book, in this site: kindfather.com

In Sermon 121 of the Nahj al-Balaaghah it is stated that Hadrat ‘Ali (SBUH) has warned us: “Certainly, Satan has made his ways easy for you and wants to unfasten the knots of the Religion one by one and to cause division among you in place of unity. Keep away from his evil ideas and enchantments and accept good advice of one who offers it to you and preserve it in your minds.”

Let us be careful Shaitan opens our beliefs one knot at a time, and presents many easy and colorful ways in place of the one and only Allah Ordained Straight Path … and misleads us slowly but surely toward eternal Perdition …
