📘 ❞ The World of the Jinn and Devils ❝ كتاب ــ عمر سليمان عبد الله الأشقر

عن كتاب The World of the Jinn and Devils:
Verily, all praise is due to Allah. We praise Him, seek His help and ask for
His forgiveness. We seek
for
His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil in our own souls and from our
sinful deeds. Whoever Allah guides, no one can mislead. whoever Allah allows to
go astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship
except Allah, the One, having no partner. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His
servant and messenger. 0 believers! Have fear of Allah according to His right and die
not save as Muslims. 0 mankind! Have fear of your Lord, the One who created you
from one soul and created from it its mate and from them spread many men and
women. fear Allah from whom you demand your mutual rights and [do not cut
ties of kinship. Surely, Allah is Ever an All-Watcher over you. 0 Believers! Have
fear of Allah and always speak the truth. He will direct you to righteous deeds and
will forgive you your sins. And whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has indeed
achieved a great achievement.
To proceed: Verily, the truest speech is the Book of Allah. The best guidance
is the guidance of Muhammad. The worst affairs are the innovated ones. Every
innovated matter is a heresy. every heresy is misguidance. every
misguidance is in the Hell-fire.
In the work before you, Dr. Umar a well-known contemporary
scholar of Islam, has attempted to tackle two important topics. The first topic is that
of the characteristics of the jinn. The second topic is the characteristics and
methodology of Satan himself.
The first topic concerning the characteristics of the jinn is a topic
for many reasons. Foremost among those reasons is that humans, in general, do not
have much contact with the jinn and, therefore, it is to gather much
information about them. Secondly, the devils are known to be liars. Thus, even when
a person does encounter them, he cannot put much trust in what they claim about
themselves. Therefore, one must virtually rely only on the of the Quran
and the authentic hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him). In this work,
has done a good job of bringing together the texts of the Quran and sunnah

In the work before you, Dr. Umar AlAshqar, a wellknown contemporary scholar of Islam, has attempted to tackle two important topics. The first topic is that of the characteristics of the jinn. This is a difficult topic for many reasons. One of them is that the devils are known to be liars. Thus, even when a person does encounter them, he cannot put much trust in what they claim about themselves. Therefore, one must virtually rely only on the statements of the Quran and the authentic hadith of the Prophet peace be upon him . The second topic is the characteristics and methodology of Satan himself. It is no coincidence that Allah has mentioned Satan, his goals, his plots and his allies throughout the entire Quran. This is because Satan is man’s greatest enemy. The believer must know the key to defending himself from Satan.
