Allaah تعالى said:
﴿وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ * إِنَّمَا يَأْمُرُكُم بِالسُّوءِ وَالْفَحْشَاءِ وَأَن تَقُولُوا
عَلَى اللَّـهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ﴾
{and follow not the
footsteps of Shaitaan (Satan). Verily, he is to you an open enemy. He commands
you only what is Soo’ (evil) and Fahshaa’, and that you should say against Allaah
what you know not.} [Surah al-Baqarah (2): 168-169]
Shaikh Ibn al-`Uthaymeen رحمه الله explained:
Al-Soo’: every type of disobedience and Minor sins.
Al-Fahshaa’: Major sins, like fornication.
Shaitaan commands to do both type of sins, the minor as
well as the major ones. The minor sins are removed by the good deeds as long as
the person avoids the major sins. Still the Shaitaan commands the people to do
the minor sins because, when a person does a sin after another, it corrupts him
and it corrupts his heart…
Shaitaan also commands one to say against Allaah without
knowledge, i.e. you attribute a saying to Allaah without knowledge.
--end of quote from the Tafseer by Shaikh Ibn al-`Uthaymeen.
This is how Shaitaan gradually deceives the people. He engages
them in minor sins. Once they are adapted to these minor sins, he directs them
towards the major sins.
But the worst of all these sins is that a person speaks
about Allaah and His Deen without knowledge. Making things Halaal or Haraam
according to his understanding; interpreting the Book of Allaah according to
his understanding; overlooking the authentic Ahaadeeth because it conflicts
with his understanding and so on.
We ask Allaah for His protection and for our well-being.
