RE: Steem engagement challenge-S10/W1| I do believe in God and Evil power exists
Islam teaches that Satan is a creation of God Who Was given free will and chose to disobey Allah's command . Satan along with his followers works tirelessly to lead humans astray & to Tempt them towards evil actions .
To further clarify this idea I say Morality changes and does not remain the same, so Satan increased his status due to his worship, and the higher he rose, the more arrogant he was.
This characteristic of arrogance was put to the test when man was created, so God wanted to test him and the angels bowed down before Adam, and when we read the dialogue between Almighty God and Satan, we see a lesson in how the stronger deals with the weaker inferior, as if it were a lesson for every manager with his employee.
God told the angels to bow down to Adam, so they bowed down, except for Iblis, who was not among those who bowed down.
God said to Iblees: Are you proud or are you haughty?
As if the prostration was for a part of the angels, so God Almighty wanted to give him an opportunity or a respite to back off his arrogance, so he gave him a choice between saying "I don't know you are talking about me" and between being arrogant.
Then in a second verse {what kept you from prostrating when I commanded you}, as if he had not prostrated, God had given him a special command to prostrate.
But Satan had reached a level of arrogance that made him say, “You created me from fire and you created him from clay.
After that we see Satan's hope that he will live until the Day of Resurrection.
The purpose of the creation of man is for man to have the freedom to choose the path of good or the path of evil, but for God's sake he will choose the path of good, and the presence of Satan has been useful in pushing man towards evil. , so that makes the test more severe, so Almighty God allowed Satan to stay alive until the Day of Resurrection.
I appreciate your response and your insights into the Story of Satan and its moral implications. It's fascinating to Consider how morality can evolve & change over time , & how the actions Of beings like Satan can play a role in shaping human choices.
The story of Satan's refusal to bow down to Adam raises thought-provoking questions about power dynamics and the test of arrogance . It serves as a reminder of the importance Of humility and submission to a higher authority , As well as the Consequences that can arise from pride & disobedience.
Quite my friend, thank you for the valuable additions.
