Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said:
0:08
"O you who believe,
0:12
“O ye who believe! Come, all of you, into submission (unto Him); and follow not the footsteps of the devil. Lo! he is an open enemy for you.” (2:208)
0:19
and do not follow the footsteps of Satan.
0:25
Indeed, he is to you an open enemy.
0:30
But if you slip after clear proofs have come to you,
0:41
then know that Allah is Almighty, All-Wise."
0:50
And he, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
0:53
"O people,
0:55
The Night of Decree was shown to me,
0:59
and I came out to inform you of it,
1:02
but two men came arguing with each other, accompanied by Satan,
1:07
and so I was made to forget it.
1:09
Therefore, seek it in the last ten nights of Ramadan;
1:13
seek it on the ninth, the seventh, and the fifth."
1:19
Agreed upon.
1:22
A point of benefit:
1:25
Quarreling and animosity are a primary cause of being deprived of good,
1:29
for because of them, the exact knowledge of the Night of Decree was taken away.
1:33
Such disputes are among the footsteps of Satan,
1:36
which the Qur'an has warned against following,
1:40
because Satan seeks to sow enmity and hatred among people.
1:45
So let us abandon malice,
1:47
and unite under the banner of tolerance and brotherhood,
1:51
which Allah has chosen for us and called us to uphold.
