Who is Iblees?

He was the first-ever racist toward other beings.

Long before men reside the earth, the Djinns was one of the God creations that lived on the earth. Among them, there was a great worshipper known as Iblees. His rank was among the Angels.

Note to remember: Djiins was created from the smokeless fire while the Angels created from Nur (light).

For thousands of years, inside of Iblees heart, he thinks he is the better creations, better among the Djinns & the Angels. Since Djinns equipped with freewill, his quality of deeds are better than the Angels.

Later, Allah tells the Angels that He wants to create another creation, a Khalifah (vicegerent/leader) on earth. When Iblees knew about this, he wondered why God wants to create another while his piety enough to make him as the better one amongst Allah creations.

So Allah commanded His Angel to take the various soils from different places on the earth (different color: white, light, black, dark brown) & mixed it with water from a clay.

Thus, there are different races of us in different skin color.

Once, Allah created Adam, our father, the first Prophet & the first human, his lifeless body was just a hollow statue. Iblees came & enter through the anatomy openings, entering the ear, nose, mouth & came out from the other ear & bottoms.

after he done with inspecting back & forth Adam's hollow & lifeless body, he said the human will be influenced easily, thinking he still a superior creations than human.

Finally, Allah blew a Ruh (soul) to Adam body, instantly his body comes alive with the flesh, organs & blood flowing through the veins. Allah commanded to all Angels & Iblees to prostrate.

Immediately all Angels in prostrations simultaneously except for Iblees.

Note: the prostrations are not out of the act of worships but rather prostrations of respect as human held the biggest blessings, the intellectual brains along with the freewill that set upper level than the Angels & Djinns.

Allah asked Iblees why he still standing. Iblees replied arrogantly:

"I'm better than him. You created me from fire & you made him from clay" (Surah Al-Araf:12)

"THE FIRST INSTANCE OF RACISM EVER TO HAVE EXISTED ON THIS EARTH"

Allah says,

"Descend from Paradise, Get out! Get out from this gathering. It is not for you to be arrogant here." (Surah Al-Araf:13)

Hence, arrogant takes a person away from Allah.

and Allah cursed Iblees:

"Upon you is My Laknat (curse) until the Day of Resurrection". (SurahFatir:78).

Despite that, Iblees challenged Allah & a threat to us that he will make the human reject Allah & ungrateful His Blessings. Iblees has sworn that his missions, will make the most of us neglect & disbelieve Allah until The End of The World.

Wallahi! By my soul in Allah Hand, I conclude this thread with Iblees is certainly our enemy. Seek refuge to Allah from the Iblees & his army of Shaitan. Seek refuge from their tricks & deceptions that make us forget, reject & disbelieve our God, our Lord, Allah Azza Wajalla.
