Innahu lakum adhuvun mubeen. Shaitan is enemy to humanity. Allah has clearly declared in His sacred book Quran. This is Allah’s huge mercy. He has given clear message and information about the enemy. Shaitan lays trap in tune with each person’s quality, character and Imaan, faith in God. Shaitan appears as an Aalim for an Aalim and as a layman for a layman. He gives disturbance.
When Adam (alai) was created, all Malak (angels) complied to offer sajda ritual. But Shaitan was adamant. He raised protesting question. There is no land in earth where he has not offered sajda. Shaitan was forerunner in Ibadath, prayers to God. He accepts doing sajda to Allah, but he refused to obey to Allah’s order. He completely rejected God’s command.
“I came from fire, Adam came from mud”. Pride blinded his eyes. As a result he was damned and fled away. Protect yourselves from the misdeeds of Shaitan. Allah warns. Shaitan fared well in Tawheed. I will do sajda only to you. He agitated and revolted. Question is not sajda to whom. Whose command it is.
Jealousy is first sin in the world. Shaitan was jealous on Adam. Surah Falak. It is a small surah. It will protect you from jealousy. Qul auzubirabbil falak – surah naas – qul auzubirabbin naas – qulhu allahu ahad, these three surahs should be compulsarily recited before going to bed. Prophet did that. He also compelled his wife Ayisha (rali) to recite that. Though prophet is rahmat for humanity, rahmatulil alameen, mercy for the entire world, still he sought protection from hasad, jealousy, and wrong doings of Shaitan. Those who seek protection from evil eye, witchcraft, wizardry, illusion, traps and jealousy should recite these three qul surahs. In some riwayaths, four surahs are suggested, including qul ya ayyuhal kaafirun. One should go to bed after doing Ozhu. In heaven, hands, legs and face will glare with Noor. Angels will be immersed in surprise. One should not go to bed in the state of seeing T.V. Nap would become a sin.
Ministers and national leaders are given black commandos for protection from enemies. Allah gives us protection. He will give protection if we recite Falak surah. We should not lose protection, security given by Allah. This is Allah’s nihmath, blessing. Security that was descended for us. This will give protection for both life and wealth. Sufis, saints, always recited this. Protection from fear, scares, trembling and shiver. God of the dawn will give protection. Joy from sorrow like dawn out of darkness. Relief for the distress. If one steps out of it then Allah wont extend protection. Surah Falak gives protection from external dangers. “Naas” is about aqeedah, imaan perfection.
Rabbinnaas, Malikinnaas, Ilaahinnaas.
Human is the supreme creation. That is the reason stress is on Rab of humans. Farmer prepares his land before sowing seeds. Then he grows it with all attention. This is definition of Rab. Water should be at correct level, it should not flow when it is not needed. Grains will perish. Food is different when the baby is in the womb. But if that is fed to a person in the outside world, it will bring death. Parents show love towards their kids. This is Allah’s arrangement. Blood transforms into milk and suckles. This is apt food for babies. Allah instilled love for baby in mother’s heart. From womb to death and after that in Jannath, Allah is the Rab. God’s plans wont be like plans of the engineer. Prices will go up, quality will come down, and material cost rises. There will be delays; 5% tolerance limit. Allah’s plans wont be like this. There will be perfection. There is no use in throwing a bullet. It will be useful when it is triggered from a gun. God’s plan will be fast, accurate and sharp.
