Introduction –  DEVILS DECEPTION BOOK

Surely the greatest God given blessing to humankind is the intellect, because it is the sole instrument by which God, Most Glorious, is known, and the only way by which belief in the Prophet is realized. However, since the intellect can’t take responsibility for everything humankind requires, messengers were sent and divine books were revealed. That is, the divine law is like the sun and the intellect like the eye which sees the sun, if the eye is open and healthy. When the true message of the prophets is accepted by the intellect after exposure to miraculous proofs, it submits to the prophets and depends on them for understanding the hidden and unseen world.

After blessing the world of man with intellect, Allaah began humankind’s earthly existence with the prophethood of Aadam, peace be on him, who taught his descendants according to divine revelation. Humankind remained on the right path until Cain separated himself from the path of righteousness by following his de

sires and killing his brother. Subsequently, uncontrolled desires split people into factions and drove them into the wilderness of misguidance and the worship of idols. Many contradictory beliefs and practices which were incompatible with the message of the Prophets and confusing to the intellect arose among them. By following their desires, customs, and the influence of their leaders, people confirmed the Devil’s wish; that they would all follow him except a handful of believers.⁵

It should be realized that the prophets brought a crystal-clear message which they successfully used to confront, the illnesses of society and to effectively cure them according to a common methodology.

However, Satan came and introduced ambiguities into the clear message, mixed poison with the cures, and obscured the straight path by creating around it countless deviant paths. Down through the ages Satan continued to play with people’s minds until they fragmented into a multitude of absurd denominations and sects based on despicable innovations. Some eventually worshipped idols in and around the very Ka ‘bah, the first house of worship built for the worship of the üne God, Allaah. The Arabs made certain animals forbidden to themselves like the Saa’ibah, a she-camel left to graze freely; the Baheerah, a Saa’ibah’s female offspring whose ear they used to slit; the Waseelah, a sheep which had given birth seven times each time delivering twin females; and the Haamm, a stallion-camel dedicated to the gods according to certain rite s. They also buried their baby daughters alive, and deprived orphans of their rightful inheritance ete.

Allaah then sent Muhamnıad, may Allaah’s peace and blessings be on him who cancelled these detestable practices and intro­ duced laws for the benefit of mankind. As for his companions, they travelled by the light of his guidance, during his lifetime and after his death, safe from the Devi] and his enticements. But when the

daylight of their presence faded and the shadows of darkness fell, desires retumed, innovations arose and the clear wide patlı became narrow. Most people split their religion into factions and the Devil rose to the occasion, obscuring, deceiving, embellishing, dividing and fabricating. For, the Devil’s deception can only take place in the dark night of ignorance. If the dawn of knowledge rises his de­ ception is easily exposed.

I decided to wam people about Satan’s cunning strategies by pointing out his traps because the exposure of evil is a waming against falling into it. In the S.ab.eeb.s6 of al-Bukhaaree and Muslim there is a Hadeeth related by Hudhayfah in which he said. “People used to ask Allaah ‘s Messenger about the good but I used to ask him about the evil for fear of it catching hold of me.” ⁷ ‘Abdullaah ibn ‘Abbaas was alsa reported as saying, “By Allaah, I do not believe there is any one on earth today whom the Devil would like to see dead more than me.” When he was asked why that was so, he re­ plied, “By Allaah, when the Devil makes an innovation in the West or the East anda man carries it to me I counter it with a Sunnah and it retums to him as he sent it.”

Consequently, I wrote this book to warn people against the trials of the Devil. I sought to frighten them by removing the Dev­ il’s mask and by exposing his evil tactics. And, Allaah helps every­ one who is truthful and whose intentions are wholly sincere….

THE DEVIL’S DECEPTION OF THE BAATINEEYAH ⁹⁸

The Baaıineeyah is a grou who hides behind Islaam and leans towards the Shiite creed, though their beliefs and actions are in fact totally contrary to Islaam. The end result of their philosophy is the negation of the Creator; invalidation of Prophethood and worship; and the denial of the hereafter. They do not reveal that ideology in the beginning but instead claim that Allaah is real, that Muhamrnad is Allaah’s Messenger, and that the religion of Islaam is genuine.

However, they explain that these things have a secret aspect which is not obvious. In that way, Iblees played with them by making many sects and doctrines pleasing to them. Historically, they have been known by the following eight names:

The Baatineeyah

They were given this name because of their claim that the literal texts of the Qur’aan and the Hadeeths have inner meanings which are like the kernel of a nut in relation to its shell.⁹⁹ They say that the exterior of the texts delude the ignorant masses into seeing only beautiful pictures which to the intelligent few are mere symbols and signs pointing to hidden realities.

Furthermore, according to them, whoever’s mind refrains from becoming immersed in the hidden secrets of the inner realms, and is satisfied with the outer and obvious meanings of the texts is in fact chained by the obligations of the Sharee’ah. While he who advances to the inner knowledge is released from the obligations of Sharee’ah and relieved from its burden. They claim that this interpretation is the intended mean-
