A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.419 --> 00:00:11.419
The enmity of Satan toward the children of Adam.

00:00:11.419 --> 00:00:20.149
Allah the Exalted has explicitly declared in His Noble Book the enmity of Satan toward the children of Adam in numerous verses.

00:00:20.149 --> 00:00:25.149
Regarding his enmity toward Adam, peace be upon him, and his wife, Allah the Exalted says:

00:00:25.149 --> 00:00:30.179
“Therefor we said: O Adam! This is an enemy unto thee and unto thy wife, so let him not drive you both out of the Garden so that thou come to toil.” (20:117)

00:00:30.179 --> 00:00:35.179
“Therefor we said: O Adam! This is an enemy unto thee and unto thy wife, so let him not drive you both out of the Garden so that thou come to toil.” (20:117)

00:00:35.179 --> 00:00:37.179
And Allah the Exalted says:

00:00:37.179 --> 00:00:43.179
“But Satan caused them to deflect therefrom and expelled them from the (happy) state in which they were; and We said: Fall down, one of you a foe unto the other! There shall be for you on earth a habitation and provision for a time.” (2:36)

00:00:43.179 --> 00:00:46.179
"Go down, all of you, as enemies to one another."

00:00:46.179 --> 00:00:51.179
"And for you on the earth is a place of settlement and enjoyment for a time."

00:00:51.179 --> 00:00:56.380
And regarding his enmity toward all the children of Adam, Allah the Exalted says:

00:00:56.380 --> 00:01:01.380
“Did I not charge you, O ye sons of Adam, that ye worship not the devil - Lo! he is your open foe! -” (36:60)

00:01:01.380 --> 00:01:04.379
"Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy."

00:01:04.379 --> 00:01:06.379
And Allah the Exalted says:

00:01:06.379 --> 00:01:11.379
“Lo! the devil is an enemy for you, so treat him as an enemy. He only summoneth his faction to be owners of the flaming Fire.” (35:6)

00:01:11.379 --> 00:01:17.379
“Lo! the devil is an enemy for you, so treat him as an enemy. He only summoneth his faction to be owners of the flaming Fire.” (35:6)

00:01:17.379 --> 00:01:22.379
Iblis himself has explicitly declared his enmity toward the children of Adam.

00:01:22.379 --> 00:01:24.379
Allah the Exalted says:

00:01:24.379 --> 00:01:28.379
“He said: Seest Thou this (creature) whom Thou hast honoured above me, if Thou give me grace until the Day of Resurrection I verily will seize his seed, save but a few.” (17:62)

00:01:28.379 --> 00:01:35.379
“He said: Seest Thou this (creature) whom Thou hast honoured above me, if Thou give me grace until the Day of Resurrection I verily will seize his seed, save but a few.” (17:62)

00:01:35.379 --> 00:01:39.379
And his statement: "I will surely dominate his descendants."

00:01:39.379 --> 00:01:44.379
Meaning: I will surely gain mastery over his descendants through temptation and misguidance.

00:01:44.379 --> 00:01:46.439
And Allah the Exalted says:

00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:54.469
“He said: My Lord! Because Thou hast sent me astray, I verily shall adorn the path of error for them in the earth, and shall mislead them every one,” (15:39)

00:01:54.469 --> 00:01:58.469
"Except for Your chosen servants among them."
