Sheeth (As) part 2

There was a time when some of the youth from Sheeth (As) were visited by Satan. He created the doubt in there mind and he made them ask questions. He made them question about the law of Allah (SWT). Why is it we are not allowed to mix with these cousins of ours,  with these relatives of ours,  what is the law all about, what is the reason behind them. It says that people of the mountains began to hear this flute. Some men were passing by close and heard the flute they liked the sounds and they went in the direction they didn't know where they were. The flute attracted them and they went towards to direction.

These men saw the woman of the land. Some of them decided lets have a peep at what is it happening. So they came down from the mountains and they went. From the distance they were watching. And they had seen and it pulled them imagine they did not intend to engage in evil. But when the saw everybody was enjoying having party. They saw beautiful women. They started going closer when they went closer they were seen. They were good looking men so women started to get engage in Tabbaruj. It qas first time Satan thought them this. Men and women started to intermingling. And through the music and getting together it resulted in natural and biological intraction. Scholars say that this is ehen zina began. This when adultery began. Slowly but surely with the introduction of this first flute and music which callrd for a celebration between men and eomrn gathering, dancing and over time zina was carried out.

These young men they came in they enjoyed themselves. They had music they had women. They had so much they were partying and they went away. As they men came back they told the other youngsters ' hey you don't know what you are missing. You see they are much advance then us' prople started listening and next they came back with bigger group.

The group started growing. Every time that party happened there were people from mountains who used to go that side and engage in sins and became sinner. They commited sins in comunity level but they did not committed shirk as yet. But bit by bit Satan was taking them in path of doing shirk.

For this reason Allah (SWT) says in quran ( la tattabiyun kutuwatiz shaitan) do not follow the footsteps of the Satan. Satan is very smart and understand the human mind he could not bring the shrik straight away as they would not believe so he bought the music and he bought the zena.  Iblis took them to that step.

At this point Sheeth was commanding and prohibiting advising. Sheeth lived on for few more decades. Some of the narration and scholars agree that from his children came most of the prophets. Most of the prophets ended up with him. Some say all of the prophets ended up from his linage no one came from after that from Kane.

Next after Sheeth he was entrusted in charge and then at his death bed entrusted his position to his most trusted son Enos who carried out gis mission after him. Then after him his son Kenan. Then his son Muhalal took the charge of the mission. Muhalal is the one whom Persian claim to be the king of seven regions. It says he was the first to cut tree's build cities and castles. It says he build the city of Babylon in Iraq today Babylonia and the father city of son of zues of sus.

He defeated Iblis and his army and scattered them into mountains and valleys and killed the huge number of them as though there were war between him and the jinns Allah (SWT) knows best about this. His rule lasted about for 40 years after his father. After him came a son named as Jared who took charge of his mission and here the Quran who came after him is name is Idris (As).
