Here are the verses: “And We have guarded them against every accursed Satan.” “Save him who steals the hearing, so there pursues him a clear flame.” And, regarding its meaning, perhaps one can say: We have located identification figures and leaders in the spaces of spirituality, thus protecting the truth from the temptations of Satan.

And whenever a person who has the qualities of Satan, is acting temptation, We will launch an attack on him, expelling and perishing all sorts of innovation, and eclecticism, as well as other temptations, by sound reasoning and sound logic of the true believers. Thus, one can find the relationship between the birth of Hadrat-i-Massiah (as) and further-more, the birth of Hadrat-i-Muhammad (S) and the casting off of such Satans from the skies.

Explanations The Satan is not only Iblis, but there are Satans. Eavesdropping and spying are both jobs of the Satan. A spy must be dealt with quickly and in a revolutionary manner. “…so there pursues him a clear flame.” Wherever a Satan-like individual was to be found, the enlightening people must chase and strike him with the torch of knowledge. The response to the Satanic acts must be provided with utmost explicitness, openness, quickness and with the maximum straight forwardness.

Surah Al-Hijr – Verses 19 - 21 وَالاَرْضَ مَدَدْنَاهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلّ‌ِ شَيْءٍ مَوْزُونٍ وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَايِشَ وَمَن لَّسْتُمْ لَهُ بِرَازِقِينَ وَإِن مّـِن شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ عِنْدَنَا خَزَآئِنُهُ وَمَا نُنَزّ‌ِلُهُ إِلاَّ بِقَدَرٍ مَعْلُومٍ 19. “And We have spread the earth, and We have cast therein firm mountains, and We have grown in it of every thing in due balance.” 20.

“And We have provided means of subsistence therein for you and for him whom you are not responsible for his sustenance.” 21. “And there is not a thing but with Us are its treasures, and We do not send it down save in appointed measure.” To complement the previous discussion, the Qur’an brings here some Divine verses about the whole creation, and the symbols of Allah’s splendour on the earth.

It begins with the earth at first, saying: “And We have spread the earth…” The Arabic term /madd/ originally means ‘expansion and spreading’, and most probably, it points to those parts of the land which emerged from under the water. For, as we know, the entire surface of the earth was covered hidden with water because of flood-like rains in the beginning.
