The path of Islam ✨

- He prostrated himself to shaytaan

🌹As Salamu Aleykum Wa Rahmatoullah Wa baraqatuhu, ya ikhwan wa oukhwat🌹

I hope that you guys are all doing fine, Alhamdoulillah. I'm always here to remind you about Allah.

And I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be careful of Shaytaan's tricks. We've learnt about him guys. Be careful and never associate someone or something with Allah. Allah (SWT) Is above everything. He is thousands times better than us and everything. La Ilaha Illa'Allah : There is no God but Allah.

I am going to share with you a story as always. This is a story of Barsisa. And don't think of Barsisa, think about yourself, put yourself in the shoes of Barsisa.  And I hope that Insha'Allah you'll seek a lesson from it yeah, because this book is not a decoration for your reading list. Something that you can add to your reading list and forget, no. You have to read it, to be able to understand the meaning and warning behind every story.

There was a pious worshipper of the tribe of Israel. He was the most pious person of his time. During his time, there were three brothers who had a sister. She was a virgin. And they had no sister other than her. They were all about to leave the town to go to war. They did not know with whom to leave their sister and who they could trust to look after her. They all agreed to leave her with that pious person. They all trusted him. They went to him and asked if they could leave her with him. She would be in the building next to him until they return from the fighting. He refused their request and sought refuge in Allah from them and their sister. They persisted until he finally acquiesced. He said, "Put her in the house next to my place of worship." So they put her in that house and they left, leaving her there. She remained living next to that pious person for some time. He would put food for her in front of his building of worship. Then he would lock the door and return to his place of worship. He would then tell her to come out of her house and take the food. Then Shytan approached him softly. He encouraged him to treat her kindly. He told him that it was not good to make the woman come out of her house during the day as someone may come upon her. If he took the food directly to her door that would mean a greater reward for him.

He continued for some time to go to her  door and place the food at the front of her door without speaking to  her. Then Iblees came again and encouraged him to do good and get more  reward. He said, "If you took her the food and placed it in the house  for her, you would get a greater reward." He continued to encourage him.  So he started to take the food into her house. He continued like that  for some time.

Then Iblees came again and again  encouraged him to do good. He said, "If you talk to her for a while she  will be put to ease by your conversation as she is in a state of fear  and she is all alone." He then started talking to her from atop his  place of worship.

Then Iblees came again. He said, "If you  were to come down and talk to her while she sits at her door and talks  to you, that would be even more comforting for her." He continued to  encourage him until he came down and sat at his door and would talk to  her. The girl would come out of her building and sit at her door and  they would talk for a while.

Then Iblees came again and encouraged him  to get great rewards for treating her well. He said, "If you were to go  from the door of your place of worship and sit close to her door, that  would be even more comforting for her." He continued exhorting him until  he did so. He continued that act for a while. Then Iblees came again.  This time he said, "If you enter her house and talk to her, and not make  her show her face in public it would be even better for you." He  continued exhorting him until he entered her house and spent the whole  day talking to her. Then when night fell, he returned to his place of  worship.

Then Iblees came to him after that and  continued to make her more appealing to him. Until the worshipper got  upon her and kissed her. And Iblees continued to make her look nice in  his eyes and desire her until he finally had sex with her. She got  pregnant and gave birth to a boy. Then Iblees came and told the  worshipper, "Do you not realize what the brothers of the girl will do to  you when they see she has given birth to your son" You will not be safe  if your matter becomes clear. You should go to the boy and kill it and  bury it, that way you can conceal your affair and they will not do  anything to you for what you did to her." Then he said to him, "Do you  think she will conceal from her brothers what you did to her and your  killing of her son. Take her, kill her and bury her with her son." He  continued spurring him on until he killed her and threw her in the ditch  with her son. Then he put a large rock over them and leveled it.

Then he returned to his place of worship  and worshipped therein. He stayed in that state for as long as Allah  willed until the brothers came back from the fighting. They came to him  and asked him about their sister. He mourned her loss and started to  cry. He said, "She was the best of women and that is her grave." The  brothers came to the grave and cried over their sister and asked Allah  to have mercy on her. They stayed at her grave for a few days and then  went to their families. When the night overtook them and they went to  their beds, Shytan came to them in their sleep in the form of a  traveler. He started with the eldest and asked him about their sister.  The brother told him what the pious man had stated and how they were  shown her grave. Shytan told him that the pious man had lied. He said,  "He did not tell you the truth about your sister. He got her pregnant  and she had his son and then he killed and buried her out of fear of  you. Then he threw them in a ditch he dug behind the door of the house  she was staying in, to the right of the entrance. Go and enter the house  in which she stayed and on the right of the entrance you will find  everything I told you about." Then he went to the middle brother and did  the same. Then he went to the youngest brother and did the same. When  they woke, they were all surprised at what they had seen. When they met  each other, they all said, "Isaw an amazing thing last night," and they  informed each other of what they had seen.

The eldest said, "That dream has nothing  to it so just ignore it." The youngest said, "I will not leave it until I  go and look at that place." They all went until they reached the door  of the place where there sister stayed. They opened the door and looked  for the place that was described to them in their dreams. They found  their sister and her son buried in a ditch, as they were told. They  asked the worshipper about it and he confirmed what Iblees had told  them. They then took him and were about to crucify him. When they had  him on the wooden cross, Shytan said to him, "You know that I am your  companion who tempted you by the woman until you got her pregnant and  you killed her and her son. If you obey me today and deny Allah, who  formed and shaped you, I will rescue you from your predicament." The  worshipper then belied Allah. When he belied Allah, Shytan left from  being between him and the others and they were able to crucify him."

Remind Yourselves not to get carried away.

Shaytaan is very clever and patient.

Now I want you to think about yourself and relate this story to your life.

There are wise lessons to learn from this story. Never think that your Imaan is so great that you can not make sin. The devil is our biggest enemy, and he plays us against ourselves.

This story carries many lessons and that is the point. I guess every person will take something  different.

May Allah protect us all from Shaytaan, the accursed.
