Nature’s Covenant
‘Stand aside, O guilty people, this day. Did I not enjoin you, Sons of Adam, not to serve Satan who is your acknowledged enemy, but to worship Me? Surely that was the right path. Yet he has led many of you astray. Had you no sense? This is the hell with which you have been threatened. Burn therein this day as a punishment for your unbelief.’
On that day We shall seal their mouths. Their hands will speak to Us, and their very feet will testify to their misdeeds.
(The Quran 36:54-65)
In this present life both good and bad people live together in the same world. In the next life the worlds of both will be separated. The followers of Satan will be with Satan and the followers of God will be with God.
No one worships Satan in the name of Satan. (That is, one does not say that one is worshipping Satan.) But indirectly everyone who worships something or someone other than God is in actual fact worshipping Satan. If this is so, it is because Satan has presented his falsehoods in an attractive light. For instance, the worship of illustrious ancestors and angels began when Satan put unreal but pleasing thoughts about them in the minds of the people, who falling a prey to Satan’s temptations, (i.e. believing that their ancestors and the angels, etc. were divine beings) began worshipping them.
Modern research has shown that human skin is a kind of record of the imprints of all human voices and that these can be replayed. This makes it understandable how people’s hands and feet will start narrating all their doings in the world they left behind.
The concept of God is instilled from birth in man’s nature or consciousness. Everyone has it in his nature to accept God as his superior and surrender to Him. It is as if all human beings, are bound by God through this covenant. When man, guided by this covenant, walks the path of obedience to God, he becomes a wayfarer on the straight path set by God, and is thus led to the destination of eternal blessings.
