Why is the Devil an enemy towards human kind?
O you who believe! Enter perfectly in Islâm (by obeying all the rules and
regulations of the Islâmic religion) and follow not the footsteps of Shaitân
(Satan). Verily! He is to you a plain enemy. (2:208)
Before Adam, the first man, received his soul, he was only a statue. The Devil was a honorable person before he was labeled the Devil (Shaytan). The reason he was labeled the devil is because, when his provider Allah ordered him to bow to this statue (Adam) he was given decision power, in order for him to be tested. He disobeyed, and was thinking that he is doing the right thing, and he said in pride "I am made from fire, and I am more superior then clay" Due to his disobedience to the commandment of Allah, he was labeled the devil (Shaytan). He had permission from Allah, to be given some time, so that he can prove to Allah that Adam and his children will be misguided by Satan.
As we see today, we all are working very hard to research towards the creations. All details are available from a single cell to the research of what is taking place in space. Unlimited details and research is taking place on the creations. 60% of the revenue of this world, is contributed towards research. However, see how the devil is operating, that no one is willing to research towards the creator, and only the creations.
How does the devil exist?
The Devil is a genie (jinn), who is unseen, and made from a smokeless flame. When it comes to wrong things, the devil attracts us towards it, and it is the human being who makes the final decision.
We decide which path we want to adhere to, the path of the creator, or the path of the devil. When an individual adheres to the misguidance of the devil, he is breaking the law of Allah.
The Devil attracts us in our lifetime to commit wrong deeds, and gives us assurances, that we will not recompense for our deeds. For instance, in the past billions of people have died since the world started, how are we going to stay in this world forever?
Lets analyze, when we have been granted wisdom from the Creator, to develop our videos, allowing us to replay our past. We can imagine, that our brain is a piece of flesh, how is it holding our memories? When we close our eyes, we can remember our past, where are these memories coming from? Who is the one holding our memories, in order for us to recall our past at any time?
A person works hard in his life, in order to achieve some status. However, after draining in alcoholism, gambling, or prostitution, many people end up in as homeless or as an alcoholic. Regardless what religion they belong to, we witness these people every day. These people are all the children of Adam, who were destroyed by the Devil.
We all witness the children left in the cold weather, from individuals who committed illegal sexual intercourse. Without realizing what will happen to this baby, even the animal cares about it's offspring. See how Satan has made mankind from the lowest of the low, even lower than a animal. The Devil is working with everyone.
Lying and cheating is smartness in society, regardless of the consequences faced. Satan gives the label tactics, tricks, and smartness.
The Creator will show us the previews of our past.
There really is no special material mankind is made from, to allow us to stay in this world forever. We are in this world like a countdown timer, second by second every individual is going towards death. Regardless of status, power, or how many properties one owns, whatever is made in this lifetime stays here, at the event of our death.
Satan gives mankind a guarantee that they will live eternal in this life, and death will never approach them.
