You Have One Devil But 5 Angels

You Have One Devil But 5 Angels

NOTE: This narration has been paraphrased from the Rational Believer "The Army of Satan" series, to be put in textual format for reading. The words of Iblis (LA), or Allah (SWT) will of course not be exact, I'll provide any original reference(s) to the hadith or origins to suit your understanding. 

Allah created Iblis to do Fitna on the Children of Adam. Iblis has no power on the Children of Adam until Allah wills Him. 

Iblis made Dua to Allah to give me power to cause Fitnah to the Children of Adam. 

Iblis said "Increase me in it", 

Allah said, "Whenever a child of Adam is born, you will have another child of Shaitaan also born". (Qareen)

Iblis, continued "Increase me in it",

Allah replied, "For you is the opportunity to flow in the veins of the Son of Adam". Allah gave him the ability to go into our bodies to start to vender and inconspicuously to sound in our minds to make it as if its our own deep thoughts but it's Iblis. 

Iblis, continued "Give me more", 

Allah revealed the verse, "

وَٱسْتَفْزِزْ مَنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتَ مِنْهُم بِصَوْتِكَ وَأَجْلِبْ عَلَيْهِم بِخَيْلِكَ وَرَجِلِكَ وَشَارِكْهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَمْوَٰلِ وَٱلْأَوْلَـٰدِ وَعِدْهُمْ ۚ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ إِلَّا غُرُورًا ٦٤

And incite whoever you can of them with your voice, mobilize against them all your cavalry and infantry, manipulate them in their wealth and children, and make them promises.” But Satan promises them nothing but delusion.

Quran 17:64 (Surah Al Isra)

NOTE: Whatever Satan promises you is nothing but a MIRAGE, it's FAKE, it's FASSAD, it's LIE. 

Adam AS heard this dua of Iblees! Then, went to Allah SWT and said "O Allah, you have given Satan this much power & authority over me, what will you give me O Allah?"

Allah replied, "A child of yours will not be born in this dunia except that I will send two angels, not one, that will constantly protect him from the evil of Shayateen"

Thus, Allah revealed the verse:

لَهُۥ مُعَقِّبَـٰتٌۭ مِّنۢ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِۦ يَحْفَظُونَهُۥ مِنْ أَمْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا۟ مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ ۗ وَإِذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍۢ سُوٓءًۭا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهُۥ ۚ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَالٍ ١١

For him [i.e., each one] are successive [angels]1 before and behind him who protect him by the decree of Allāh.2 Indeed, Allāh will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when Allāh intends for a people ill,3 there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides Him any patron.

Quran 13:11 (Surah Ar-Ra'd)

FOR EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING, there are two interchanging angels, one in the front and one in the back, we have 5 ANGELS at any specified period of time.

1. Two to write down our deeds (on right & left shoulders)

2. Two to protect us from the front and the back (they interchange too)

3. One to whisper good to our ears(Say Alhamdulillah, SubhanAllah etc.)

Adam AS, continued "Give me more", 

Allah willed this to happen:

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Allah says to the angels: If My servant intends to commit a sin, do not record it against him until he does it. If he does it, record it against him as one bad deed. If he leaves it for My sake, record it for him as one good deed. If he intends to do a good deed and he does not do it, record it for him as one good deed. If he does it, record it for him as ten good deeds up to seven hundred times as much.”

Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 7501, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 128

Adam AS, continued "Give me more",

Allah SWT said, "I promise you my forgiveness is forever open until the soul leaves the body."

Adam AS, continued "Give me more",

Allah SWT revealed the verse,

Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh forgives all sins.1 Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."

Quran 39:53 - Surah Az-Zumar

NOTE: DO NOT AT ALL despair/doubt that Allah loves us so much & cares for us so much, He wants us to be in Jannah. He created us because He wants us to be in Jannah. The verse above is one of the greatest ayahs in the holy Quran. 

As supported by when Allah said:

مَّا يَفْعَلُ ٱللَّهُ بِعَذَابِكُمْ إِن شَكَرْتُمْ وَءَامَنتُمْ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ شَاكِرًا عَلِيمًۭا ١٤٧

Why should Allah punish you if you are grateful and faithful? Allah is ever Appreciative, All-Knowing.

— Quran 4:147 (Surah An-Nisa)
