"O mankind, eat of what is lawful and good on earth and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you an open enemy.".(QS. Al-Baqarah [2]: 168)
In this life, you must recognize the real enemy within you. Your enemy is not a jealous friend, a hateful sibling, or anyone else who wants to harm or bring you down. But know that your true enemy is Satan, who will always lead you astray and want you to be with him in hell. Furthermore, the enemy you must fight is your own lust.
Demon
Satan and lust are interconnected, leading humans to sin and eternal damnation with them in Hell. Satan will never tire of tempting the descendants of the Prophet Adam, in accordance with his request to Allah SWT when he was expelled from Paradise, which reads:
ثُمَّ لَاٰتِيَنَّهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَيْنِ اَيْدِيْهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ وَعَنْ اَيْمَانِهِمْ وَعَنْ شَمَاۤىِٕلِهِمْۗ وَلَا تَجِدُ اَكْثَرَهُمْ شٰكِرِيْنَ (17)
"He (Satan) replied, "Because You have led me astray, I will surely hinder them from Your straight path. Then I will surely come at them from before them, from behind them, from their right, and from their left. You will not find most of them grateful."(QS. Al-A’raf [7]: 16-17).
The meaning of the verse above is that Allah made Iblis/Satan as a lost person because he had denied Allah's command to respect the Prophet Adam AS and was arrogant, considering himself more noble than the Prophet Adam. After that Allah expelled Iblis from heaven and Iblis also said that he would always bother the children of Prophet Adam to deny Allah and be their friend forever in hell. Iblis will do anything to be able to lead humans astray, he will surround humans from the front, back, right side, left side until the humans follow them so that they are not saved and perish like Iblis.
How could Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala lead Satan astray? Allah is not deficient!
So the answer is that the will (Iradah) of Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala is twofold: Iradah kauniyah and Iradah Syar'iyah. Iradah Kauniyah is the will that Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala desires to happen in the universe, but it is not necessarily something that Allah likes, while Iradah Syar'iyah is a desire that Allah likes, but it is not necessarily something that happens. All of this happens because of the wisdom and justice of Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala. Allah is the one who knows all wisdom and Allah is just in all that He does. This is the attribute of Allah, the most perfect.
Therefore, Imam al-Qurthubi (may Allah have mercy on him) emphasized this in his interpretation. He Rahimahullah said: "The Ahlussunnah school of thought states that it was Allah Azza wa Jalla who made him go astray and created disbelief in him." Therefore, in this verse the actions that made the devil go astray are attributed to Allah Azza wa Jalla. And this is what is true. Nothing exists unless it is the creation of Allah Azza wa Jalla which comes from the will of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. The al-Imamiyah, al-Qadariyah and other sects have disobeyed the shaykh (their teacher), namely the devil, in that they obey the devil in everything that the devil has decorated for them, but do not obey him in this matter. They said, "The devil has made mistakes. And he is often wrong, because he has attributed error to his Rabb. Glory be to Allah from that." So we say to them (followers of these heretical sects), 'If the devil (is like that), he really often makes mistakes, then what do you think about the words of the Prophet who was noble and ma'shûm (protected from mistakes), namely Prophet Nuh Alaihissallam. He said to his people:
"My advice will not be useful for you even if I want to advise you, if Allah wants to lead you astray. He is your Lord and to Him you will be returned." (QS. Hud [11]: 34)
Who Can Be Safe from Satan/Satan?
Allah SWT. Says in Surah Ash-Shaad Verses 82-85 which means:
ۨاِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِيْنَ (83)
قَالَ فَالْحَقُّۖ وَالْحَقَّ اَقُوْلُۚ (84)
لَاَمْلَـَٔنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنْكَ وَمِمَّنْ تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَ (85)
Who Can Be Safe from Satan/Satan?
Allah SWT. Says in Surah Ash-Shaad Verses 82-85 which means:
People who can be safe from Satan are those who truly believe in Allah and do not worship anything other than Allah, people who maintain their behavior and faith. We must know that the devil will always tempt people until they follow him, but those who remain obedient to Allah and always draw closer to Him will be the ones who will survive the temptation of the devil/demons and they will enter His heaven with those who obey, but for those who associate partners with Allah and worship Satan, they will forever be in Hell with the devils they worship/worship.
Lust
Is Lust a Despicable Thing?
Ibnu Qoyyim Al-Jauziyyah Rahimahullah explained in his book that lust was created in humans in order to maintain their survival. Because, if there is no appetite to eat, drink and marry, humans will certainly die and become extinct, because they do not eat, drink and marry. Lust drives humans to achieve the things they want, while anger prevents them from things that bother them in their lives. So lust should not be criticized or praised absolutely without exception. Just as anger cannot be criticized or praised absolutely either.
Allah denounces ittiba'ul hawa (following one's desires) in several verses in the Al-Qur'an, including His words in Surah Al-Jatsiyah and Al-Qashash.
"Do you know (Prophet Muhammad), the person who made his desires his God and was allowed to go astray by Allah with His knowledge, Allah has locked his hearing and heart and put a lid on his sight, who is able to give him guidance after Allah (allowed him to go astray)? Have you (O humans) not learned a lesson?" (QS. Al-Jaatsiyah [45]: 23)
"If they do not answer (your challenge), know that they are only following their desires. Who is more astray than someone who follows his desires without receiving guidance from Allah? Indeed, Allah does not guide the unjust people." (QS. Al-Qashash [28]: 23)
According to the information above, originally lust is the soul's inclination towards something it likes, then if it is inclined towards something that is in accordance with the Shari'ah, then it is praiseworthy, but conversely, if it is inclined towards something that is contrary to the Shari'ah, then it is disgraceful. Meanwhile, if lust is mentioned in absolute terms without being tied to certain conditions or it is mentioned about condemnation of lust, then what is meant in that context is despicable lust.
So, is he an enemy or a friend? In life, praiseworthy desires are like your companions, while reprehensible desires are your enemies.
Lust Includes Two Things: Doubtful and Lust
- If it involves doubtful desires, it can lead a person to the status of heretics and be called ahlul ahwa`. And the tradition of the Salaf was to name the people of heresy as the people of ahwa`.
- As for lust, it is divided into two types: those that are permissible, such as eating, drinking, and clothing, and those that are forbidden, such as adultery and alcohol. Those who commit it are called fajir, fasiq, or sinners.
- The Devil has sworn to lead humanity astray until the Day of Judgment.
- He will lead humanity astray and prevent them from following the path of truth and salvation. The devil will make falsehood beautiful in the eyes of humans so that they fall into it.
- Many people will follow the devil's misguidance, and we are advised to seek protection and protection from Allah Almighty from Satan and his forces.
- If it is related to doubtful desires, it can even lead someone to the status of heretics.
- If it is related to lust, it is divided into two: those concerning permissible matters, such as eating, drinking, and clothing, and those concerning forbidden matters, such as adultery and alcohol. Those who do so are called fajir, fasiq, or sinners.
