How can we humiliate Satan?

In the Name of Allah the Most Merciful the Most Beneficent 
Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon the Prophet Muhammad his Noble Family and Companions.
Peace and Blessings upon the Prophets and Messengers of Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala 

This question came to my heart today morning. How can we humiliate Satan?. I have vowed to retaliate the Devil ten times when he try me one time!. We cannot retaliate the Devil directly, because he is a person without honour, without integrity, without courage. He is a gamer behind our back, he is a coward that he fear us to come to oppose us face to face!. Even his agents fear to come for a face to face argument. They all are working from behind us, out of sight, through social media through the realm of the Jinns Ghosts and Spirits of this world!

So How to Humiliate Satan?

Well, it is easy for us and difficult for many!.  To understand how to humiliate Satan and his party,  we need to understand how and when the Satan was humiliated, the answer to our question lies in there!

Quran 2:34 And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate before Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.
                           When Allah Almighty wish to guide someone, then Allah
                              turn them to one of His Ambassadors and they come in the Presence 
                              of HIS Viceroy on Earth and make prostration of respect and humble
                           themselves, Satan and his agents get humiliated and today, they call 
                            this act is shirk!. They blow up Shrines of the pious with Bombs and rockets!
                          So many People are misled to follow this misguided sects!


So we identified what made Iblees humiliated and accursed! He did not prostrate to Hz Adam (A.S), the Ambassador of Allah (Khalifa) on Earth. So we have identified that prostrating to an Khalifa of Allah make Iblees and his party very upset!

Quran 17:61 And [mention] when We said to the angles, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He said, "Should I prostrate to one You created from clay?"

Believers are in the state of "We hear and We Obey" (Sami'naa Wa Athana 2:285). But Iblees was in the state of questioning Allah's Decree!. So we can understand that questioning the religious authority (the Prophets and their Inheritors) is a sign of disbelief (Kufr). 

So we can understand that one who is questioning their LORD, their Prophet and their Shaykh, they are following the Sunnath (tradition) of Devil !

PROSTRATION OF RESPECT:

                                                      TAWHID OF SATAN AT WORK:
                                           The radical Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) 
                                          group has destroyed shrines belonging to two prophets, 
                                               highly revered by both Christians and Muslims, 
                                         in the northern city of Mosul, al-Sumaria News
                                                               reported Thursday.
Quran 17:62 [Iblees] said, "Do You see this one whom You have honored above me? If You delay me until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely destroy his descendants, except for a few."

In Islam prostration of respect is allowed and its not against Tawhid (Islamic Faith)! Every Prophets received prostration of respect, the Jews and Christians wrote in their books as well (Daniel 2:46) Prophet Daniel (A.S) was worshipped by King Nebuchadnezzar, Prophet Moses (A.S) fell on the feet of his father in Law Hz Jethro (A.S) and  gave reverence, Jews of Madinah entered upon the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and fell on his feet and kissed his feet!

So we can understand that such prostration of respect exist in the religion of Allah. Islamic Faith (Tawhid) cannot be different in Heaven and different on earth.  Tawhid is unchangeable, If Allah Almighty commanded everyone to prostrate to Adam (A.S) and all had prostrated except Iblis, which means entire creations prostrated to Adam (A.S).

Originally Allah Almighty commanded Angels to prostrate to Adam (A.S). So if someone argue that , it was not for humans to prostrate then let them ask, Was Iblees an Angel?, the Quran describe Iblis as Jinn(Made of Fire). So if the command of prostration was only to Angels then Iblees is not to blame for not prostrating!. Secondly, those who deny spiritual ascension, should also understand that when one is spiritually ascend to the realm of Angels, the interpretation of the Law (Shariah) is different in that realm!

Humiliate Satan and his Party!:

Quran 2:30 Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I will create a vicegerent on earth." They said: "Wilt Thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood? (see Quran 2:11)- whilst we do celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?" He said: "I know what ye know not."

This is my instruction to you, to anyone who understood the tricks and traps of the Devil, go and humiliate Satan whenever you can!. If you see the Maqam (Tomb) of a Prophet or a Saint, go there and give salam and put your head down and kiss the tomb site in prostration of respect!. This is enough to humiliate the Devil! But of course Devil is going to send to you his Tawhid party ( see Quran 2:11) to tell you: it is Shirk, you are committing shirk (act of paganism) by prostrating to a dead man!

Because Satan saw the clay in Adam (A.S) , not the Khalifa (Viceroy ) of Allah , not the Image of Allah (Sahih Bukhari) in the same way, the agents of Satan only see the clay which is inferior to the Fire!, but Image of Allah is Superior to the Fire, by Which Allah Created Adam (i,e in His own Imafe)

See the Hadith and Genesis (Bible)
Genesis 1:27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “If one of you fights his brother, let him avoid the face. Verily, Allah created Adam in His image.”Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2612 Al-Nawawi said, “A group of scholars said the ‘image’ is attributed to Allah Almighty, and the meaning is an additional honor and privilege.”

Source: Sharḥ al-Nawawī ‘alá Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2612

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَاتَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ فَلْيَجْتَنِبْ الْوَجْهَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ آدَمَ عَلَى صُورَتِهِ

2612 صحيح مسلم كتاب البر والصلة والآداب باب النهي عن ضرب الوجه

قال النووي وَقَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ يَعُودُ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَيَكُونُ الْمُرَادُ إِضَافَةَ تَشْرِيفٍ وَاخْتِصَاصٍ

2612 شرح النووي على مسلم

So those who claim that they are Islahi (reformers), they will come to you and rebuke you, if you make prostration of respect to a viceroy of Allah on Earth. The Prophets are Imams are the viceroy of Allah on Earth.

It is said: Scholars are Heirs of the Prophets (Sahih Hadith/Tirmidi)

In the Tawhid of the Quran, prostration of respect to the Ambassadors of Allah is proclaimed and Iblis became disbeliever and accursed for not making this prostration of respect!. But in the faith of Satan and his agents among men and Jinn (Quran 114) prostration of respect to the viceroy of Allah Shirk (act of Polytheism).

So when Allah Almighty commanded everyone to prostrate to Adam (A.S), he declared that he will not make prostration to anyone except Allah!.  And he was accursed and became a disbeliever. Then Iblis vowed that he will mislead so many from the descendants of Adam (A.S) from the straight path. So we can see Iblis implanted his faith , his understanding of religion, to the heart of this square heads. And they say: it is shirk (Polytheism) to prostrate to anyone other than Allah!

But from the command of Allah to angels to prostrate to Adam (A.S) and everyone except Iblis , obeying Allah's Command prove that such prostration of respect/reverence is accepted by Allah Almighty! And this is specifically to the Prophets and their Ahlul Bayt (Family) and to the Imams!

Sunan Ibn Majah 3705 It was narrated from Safwan bin 'Assal that:
"Some people among the Jews kissed the hands and feet of the Prophet(ﷺ)."  (Grade: Hasan/good)
Suhayb said, "I saw 'Ali kiss the hands and feet of al-'Abbas." (Adab Al Mufrad of Imam Bukhari,No: 976)

The disobedience Satan made was that he refused to prostrate to our Master and Father of Humanity Adam (A.S).. So Satan will send his agents to those who make prostration of reverence to the Prophets or Imams, to tell them it is against Tawhid , you are committing shirk!.  Because is the best strategy of Satan to turn people away from reverence to their Prophets and Imams!

The second thing Satan will get humiliated, when you accept a Shaykh/Imam as your guide and pledge allegiance to that Shaykh or Imam!.  Satan will have his agents even among the people of Bayah (Oath of allegiance ) as hypocrites and trouble makers, who slander other Shaykhs, who breakaway from the Imams and Shaykhs and slander them!. Because this Shaykhs and Imams are the inheritors of the Prophets in an unbroken spiritual lineage!. Satan want to break this lineage and turn people away from following this creed!

It does not bother Satan, your prayers of fasting or charity or Hajj, everyone can do this and all 73 sects are doing that!

But the only things that differ the saved sect is: first is reverence to the Imams and Shaykhs and second is giving Bayah (Oath of allegiance) to the Imams and Shaykhs.

In this 21st century and in the 20th century, Satan made his fortune and succeeded greatly from turning people away from this two things!

The Muslim world lost its direction, they follow this agents of Satan. There is no reverence to the Shaykhs and Imams. Even those who claim to follow an Imam or Shaykh, they abuse and slander another Shaykh or Imam!. People turned away from the Imams and Ahul Bay and their way (Tariqah). 

The second thing is , Satan tricked Muslims and they do not make Bayat (Oath of allegiance) to Viceroy of Allah! There is no Khalifa, even giving Bayah to the spiritual heirs (to the Shaykhs and Imams) are also broken!

So the sects of those who are fooled by Satan, they lack this two things, reverence to the Imams of the Muslims and Bayah (Pledge of Allegiance) to Listen and to Obey (Quran 2:285,9:119,36:21)

But our wonderful agents of  Satan, built so many mosques, so many charity organisations , so many Islamic institutes, so many diplomas of Islam, Aalim courses (scholarly courses), waged Imams council which the mass Muslims follows today!, so many organisations and institutions!

and they are claiming: We are the true Muslim group! We are the saved sect!, we are upon the truth!

So  I ask them: Where is the tradition of Bayah (Pledge of Allegiance) , who are your Imams in a spiritual lineage?. What kind of reverence and sincerity you have towards the Imams and Ahlul Bayt?, Who are the Mujaddid of your way in the previous centuries? do you practice listening and obeying?

Then they look at me: rolling their eyes!, they are thinking that I am insane and misguided! Saying to me: You are a Kafir (disbeliever)!

Indeed this are the agents of Satan, and humiliate them with this questions that I asked them, humiliate their master, the Devil, by giving reverence to the prophets and their inheritors , kiss the Saints and Pious scholars in their hand and feet!. Kiss the tomb of the Prophets and Saints! So that they may be humiliated and we will be counted among the righteous (4:69) among those who prostrated to Adam (A.S) in the Heavens!

This agents of devil bow down and prostrated to their wives or women for other reasons, to their children or grand parents for some other reasons ,there is no Tawhid issue!. Tawhid issue is when it is done to the Viceroy of Allah On earth. 

The Guidance and its People:

Quran: 2:38 We said, "Go down from it, all of you. And when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows My guidance - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.

After the final Prophet, there is no more Prophets to come. But Our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah) by Allah's Order appointed inheritors and successors to guide and support the believers (Quran 17:80-81). They are coming from Allah Almighty (not with a Diploma of Islam and from the academic institutions made in the model of the institution of unbelievers!. As no Messenger of Allah comes with a diploma of Islam or from an institute, the heirs of the Prophets also come according to the same tradition of the prophets!

The Imams and the Ahlul Bayt:

Quran 4:59 O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result.

Quran 9:119 O ye who believe! Be careful of your duty to Allah, and be with the truthful

Narrated Abu Huraira (R.A) : Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Whoever obeys me, obeys Allah, and whoever disobeys me, disobeys Allah, and whoever obeys the ruler I appoint, obeys me, and whoever disobeys him, disobeys me."  (Sahih Bukhari, Book 89, Ahkaam)


It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said:
"Religion is sincerity (An-Nasihah)." The said: "To whom, O Messenger of Allah?" he said: "To Allah, to His Book, to His Messenger, to the imams of the Muslims and to their common folk."  (Sahih, Sunan Nasai)
Also in Sahih Muslim, 40 Hadith Nawawi

Narrated Zaid bin Arqam, may Allah be pleased with both of them:
that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:"Indeed, I am leaving among you, that which if you hold fast to them, you shall not be misguided after me. One of them is greater than the other: The Book of Allah is a rope extended from the sky to the earth, and my family - the people of my house - and they shall not split until they meet at the Hawd, so look at how you deal with them after me." (Tirmidi) No: 3788,Sahih . There are so many Hadiths in Sahih Muslim and Tirmidi on this topic!
Miskhat:  "At the beginning of every century God will send one who will renew its religion for this people.” Abu Dawud transmitted it in Kitab Al Malahim ,Sunan Abu Dawud

Peace be upon the Prophets of Allah
Praise be to Allah the LORD of the Worlds
