From the silence of pre-eternity to the tumult of eternity’s end, the entire narrative of the universe is, in essence, the story of humanity and choice, a story that begins at a moment when time had not yet learned to tick, when space was still folded into itself, when matter was dissolved within an ocean of pure energy, and when what human intellect later named “nothingness” was in reality the threshold of the secret of Kun Fayakun. At that moment there existed only One Being, Al-Hayy Al-Qayyum, the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsisting, the Necessary Existent who depends on nothing and upon whom everything depends, the Being beyond definition, beyond validation, beyond need, whom we call Allah. It is here that all scientific laws fall silent, where mathematical formulas collapse, where even quantum physics’ singularity bows down, because science may explain that the universe emerged through the Big Bang, yet it cannot answer who initiated it, who was the Cause of all causes. This is the point from which the human drama truly begins.
Allah willed to be known, and from the manifestation of divine love emerged this vast workshop of colors, forms, galaxies, time, space, and matter, yet within this cosmic order a profound trial was designed, a trial that required the creation of opposing forces. On one side was the creation of light, the angels, beings who knew only obedience, and on the other side was the creation of fire, the jinn, beings endowed with the spark of choice, and between these two was fashioned a being from clay, called the human being, into whom Allah breathed His spirit and whom He appointed as the central protagonist of the universe. At this moment the first and greatest envy in cosmic history was born. Iblis, who belonged to the jinn yet through worship and knowledge had risen to a position of honor among the angels, was awakened by arrogance upon witnessing the creation of Adam. His problem was not disbelief in God, for he knew God better than humans do, he had spoken to God, he had witnessed divine power. His problem was the rejection of divine wisdom. This is a subtle distinction that many modern liberals and atheists fail to grasp. Iblis was the first rationalist, the first who worshipped intellect alone. He reasoned through comparison of matter and declared, “I am fire, and he is clay; fire rises while clay remains low, so I am superior. Why should I bow?” This logic appeared sound on the surface, yet it was proof of spiritual blindness, for Iblis saw only Adam’s hardware, the clay body, and failed to perceive the software installed within him—the divine spirit and the knowledge of names. From this point onward began the greatest war in existence. Allah expelled Iblis, and Iblis asked for respite, not to repent, but to prove humanity’s unworthiness. He declared that he would demonstrate that this being of clay, this so-called noblest of creation, was ungrateful, impulsive, and enslaved to desire, and that he would approach humans from the front, from behind, from the right, and from the left. This challenge was not against Allah’s sovereignty but against humanity’s role as vicegerent, and Allah, in His infinite wisdom, accepted it so that truth and falsehood might be distinguished, so that those humans who freely chose their Lord despite Satan’s deception might rise higher than the angels. Adam and Eve were then settled in Paradise, where Satan launched his first assault, not physical but psychological. He did not say “disobey God,” rather, he whispered, “Shall I guide you to the tree that grants an eternal kingdom and everlasting life?”
Reflect deeply, for humanity’s greatest weakness lies in the fear of death and the lust for power. Satan touched the hidden desire for immortality within the human soul and framed divine restriction as an obstacle to progress, promising angelic status or eternal existence. This deception continues to this very day. Modern humanity still dreams of defeating death and becoming godlike through science and technology. Adam erred, their garments were removed, and they were sent down to earth, not as punishment, but as migration to the examination hall for which they had always been destined. On earth, the tragedy of Abel and Cain unfolded, dividing humanity into two camps, the party of God and the party of Satan. Cain’s jealousy was the earthly reflection of Iblis’s envy, staining the ground with the first human blood. All subsequent bloodshed, corruption, and warfare are extensions of this same satanic agenda that seeks to strip humanity of its humanity and reduce it to brutality. History continued to turn as prophets were sent, dismantling Satan’s traps. In the time of Noah, Satan introduced idolatry through the guise of righteousness by turning the statues of pious people into intermediaries, for he always arrives disguised as goodness. In the eras of Nimrod and Pharaoh, he taught humans to claim divinity itself, culminating in Pharaoh’s declaration, “I am your supreme lord,” a masterstroke of Satanic deception aimed at replacing the worship of God with the worship of man. Pharaohism was not merely a ruler but a system built upon fear, illusion, magic, and enslavement. When Moses’ staff swallowed the illusionary serpents, it symbolized truth overpowering illusion, yet Satan persisted, repeatedly diverting the Children of Israel toward materialism, calf worship, and scriptural distortion, convincing them they were divinely favored and beyond accountability. This religious arrogance remains one of Satan’s deadliest weapons. Today humanity stands at a historical crossroads where Iblis is preparing his final and greatest deception, the era foretold by all prophets and from which Prophet Muhammad sought refuge, the era of the Dajjal. Dajjal is not merely a one-eyed giant but both an individual and a system, a vast global order constructed through centuries of satanic effort. The meaning of Dajjal is the great deceiver, the one who conceals truth with falsehood, and what is often termed the New World Order is in essence a Dajjalic system. Reflect upon the signs attributed to Dajjal: control over global sustenance and economy, command over rain and climate, extraction of the earth’s treasures, the illusion of reviving the dead, traversing the world in a single day. Today’s global financial dominance, weather modification technologies, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, supersonic travel, and digital networks all pave the way for this deception. The greatest trial of Dajjal will be to make humanity independent of God. Modern humans increasingly believe science can solve all problems, disease through vaccines, hunger through genetically modified food, sadness through virtual realities, convincing themselves that God is no longer necessary. This atheism and materialism form the carpet upon which Dajjal will walk. When he appears, he will claim lordship, offering provision and life, and those whose vision is limited to material progress will accept him upon seeing his single eye, the eye of worldly advancement, while those with even a mustard seed of faith will read the word disbelief written upon his forehead, not through formal education but through the light of inner insight. Satan’s greatest masterpiece in this age is the interest-based financial system, against which Allah and His Messenger declared war, for usury enslaves humanity, concentrates wealth, and drains the lifeblood of the poor to enrich the elite. Today the entire world, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, is ensnared within the grip of international financial institutions, forming a Dajjalic economy that traps humanity in fear of sustenance and distances it from God. The modern Muslim
spends the day fighting for survival, forgetting that he was created for worship, while Satan distracts him with screens, luxury, and noise until the cries of the soul are no longer heard. Then the final act will begin, when Dajjal reaches the height of his power, when believers are persecuted across the world, when falsehood appears triumphant, and at that moment Allah will send down not a superhero from earth but Jesus son of Mary from the heavens, whom Christians deified and Jews rejected, so that the true Messiah may expose the false one. Jesus will not fight with technology but with spiritual authority, and Dajjal will be slain at the gate of Ludd, marking the ultimate confrontation between materialism and spirituality. Victory will belong not to creation but to the Creator. A period of justice will follow in which the earth will be filled with fairness as it had been filled with oppression, where abundance will render charity unnecessary, and humanity will finally realize that real life was never the world but preparation for the Hereafter. That era too will pass, the trumpet will be blown, and every atom, galaxy, angel, jinn, and human will perish, returning to the silence from which creation began, leaving only One Being, who will ask, “To whom belongs sovereignty today?” and with no one left to answer, He will respond Himself, “To Allah, the One, the All-Dominant.” This is not fiction but our own story, and we are living in its final chapters. The war is not fought in distant battlefields but within hearts and minds, and the decision rests with each soul: whether to trust the false promises of Iblis or the true promise of the Lord, for in the end truth alone endures while falsehood fades into noise.
