Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Heart of the Qur'an: A Commentary to Sura al Yasin Ayat no. 60-61 In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Did I not charge you, O children of Adam! that you should not serve the Shaitan? Surely he is your open enemy, And that you should serve Me; this is the right way. (36:60-61) *** *** Reply to the sinners’ objection After the command to get separated is issued it is said, “O devil worshippers! O passion worshippers! Be apart.

Your place is in the pit of hell. Today, honor is only for God worshippers.” Of course, those who are guilty become unhappy. They raise an objection that their faults were not pointed out to them in the world but it is said to them, “We had made a covenant with you in the world.

We had reminded you that you should not worship Satan.” God’s covenant with man is mentioned in three stages: First in the stage at the beginning of creation, secondly relating to Adam the father of entire mankind, and thirdly, which is mentioned above, through the messengers who took promise from people that they would not worship the devil; that they must not follow Satan because “he is your open enemy.” We recommended that you must worship Only One God, as the straight path is to worship the Beneficent, not the Satan.

Before you, he has misguided many and has destroyed many. Will you not then understand? Will you not realize how Satan destroyed them? We have concluded arguments for you so that you may not say, “O God! We did not know what are the divine books and where are the covenants with God?” There are some points in this Holy verse, which demand deep reflection. Firstly, what does worshipping Satan mean? Secondly why is Satan inimical to man? And thirdly, how to protect ourselves from this open enemy?

Satan is one of the limitless creations of God First, Satan is a creation like all other creations. God’s creations are innumerable. We have yet not known even a millionth of that number. They put a drop of water under a microscope and find that there are millions of living organisms moving about in it, which were not visible to the naked eye. One of the creations of God is Satan. In man, his earth related nature is overpowering and in Satan his fire related nature, which is full of heat.

So if they open up our graves some years after our death, they will witness the overpowering nature related to earth and will see that the rest of all natures have perished.
