Lesson
Laa yafti-nanna – Let not him seduce), the word yafti-nanna is from fitnah. Its origin is fatuun,
which means “to seduce”. Fitnah means
“calamity, painful. Difficult”. Yan-zi-‘u (to cause to tear off the robe, to
uncover, to snatch), this word has been derived from naza’. Naza’ means “to snatch something from someone”. If two
people try to snatch the thing of each other, that misdeed will be called nazaa’. In addition, if many people begin
to snatch their things from one another among themselves, it is called tanaaza’. Qabii-lun – (nation, tribe), it
has been made from Qabal, which means
“Anterior, previous, preliminary, and ahead”. Qabii-lun is the thing, which is
“before, in front of anyone. Those people are also called Qabii-latun overall, who are
closest to someone and remain in presence every time, so, it has been
translated as “the nation”.
It is Second
advice for the Children of Adam (peace be upon Him). The people have been
cautioned clearly in it to beware of the tricks of Satan and it has been caused
to understand in many forthcoming verses that: what does the Devil wish to take
work from you and about which acts has Allah Almighty commanded to be obeyed? These
both should not be inter-mixed.
It is
commanded: O Children of Adam (peace be upon Him)! See! You should never be
entrapped by Satan. The history of your first parents, Adam and His wife Eve
(peace be upon Them) has been disclosed before you for the same purpose, so
that you may be aware of the plans of Satan.
You will know
easily from this story that: How Iblis
seduced Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) by flattering and how He talked with
Them for deception and fraud? Finally they fell into his scheming of
misleading. And due to this woe, they had to leave the Garden, their raiment
was snatched from them, even that their shame was manifest in front of each
other.
Eventually,
they asked humbly from Allah Almighty for forgiveness and their error was
forgiven, but they were sent down on the earth for living, where their children
would have to deal with Satan during their entire life. He is very dangerous
enemy of the mankind, who often lies secretly in ambush, from whence He
observes you but you cannot see Him frequently. Therefore, you should seek the
Shelter of Allah Almighty, because He (Satan) is in His (God’s) Sight every
time. And Allah Almighty can save His own Believers from Satan’s both kinds of
attacks (whether those are hidden or open). However, whosoever does neither
believe in Allah Almighty and nor obeys His command, there is no shelter for
such person for safety from the attack of Iblis.
