Asalamualykum warhmatulahi wabaarkthu!
ive herd other stories similar to this. where they shaytan was the kareen.
This story illustrates how a pious muslim can go from one extreme to
another Alhamdulilah it has a deep message and something to think about
insha Allah!
jazahka Allah khair for reading this and please feel free to pass this
story to any muslim you know insha Allah it will benifit us all ameen!
There were three men from Bani Israel who were called to fight for the
sake of Allah. They accepted the call, but they had concerns for their
sister as she would be left behind with no-one to look after her. After
some discussion, they agreed that the best place to leave her would be
with the most trusted person in town.
This was a pious man called Burseesah, who lived in a sanctuary and
devoted his entire life in the worship of Allah. They came to Burseesah
and said to him, "O Burseesah. We know you to be a pious and trustworthy
man. We have been enlisted to fight for the sake of Allah and we want to
leave our sister with you. O Burseesah! We trust no one else in town
except you. Please take care of our sister."
Burseesah immediately said, "AoothoBillah! (I seek refuge in Allah) Get
away from me! I have sworn to spend my time devoting it to the worship
of Allah! I do not want to deal with these issues and be burdened with
looking after someone" >>
The three men said to him, "O Burseesah! We have no where else to take
her! We can't leave her with anyone else and we don't trust anyone else.
Please take care of our sister!"
Shaytaan heard the discussion, and came to Burseesah. "Burseesah..." The
waswaas [evil whisperings] began. "Burseesah if you don't look after
her, she might be left with someone who is not trustworthy! You have to
take this responsibility" >>
Burseesah listened and finally agreed to look after her. He told the
brothers to leave her in a separate house so not to distract him from
his acts of worship. They left her there, said goodbye and went to
jihad.
Burseesah would continue his acts of worship as normal, and during the
day he would leave food on his doorstep so the woman would have to leave
the house to collect the food. This also ensured they never saw one
another and Bursesah never even left his place of worship.>>
Time passed by.
Shaytaan came to Burseesah. >>
"Burseesah..." he whispered, "You can't leave the food on your doorstep!
As she is leaving the house someone might see her by herself. All alone
and venerable and take advantage of her. Rather than her leave her
house, you go to her house and drop off the food on her doorstep."
Burseesah made the decision that this was the right thing to do, and
followed the bait that Shaytaan masked in a cover of righteousness. So
during the day Burseesah would leave his worship, leave his place of
worship, go to the house and leave the food on her doorstep.
This happened for a while and with the trap just being set, Shaytaan
moved in for the next step.
"Burseeeeesah..." the whispers came again. "Burseeesah...you are now
leaving the food on her doorstep, but still this is not good. She still
has to open the door and collect the food. Someone might still see her
and she is so beautiful. She is VERY beautiful"
This servant of Allah, who never saw this woman started to be tempted by
the whispers from Shaytaan about her beauty.
"Burseesah, her beauty is intoxicating and if someone sees her they may
try something. You have to leave the food INSIDE her house. You don't
have to look at her. Just knock on the door, and hand her the food as
she opens the door."
Burseesah saw no harm in this. After all, it would stop people from
seeing her. More deception covered in righteousness.
So again, Burseesah would leave his worship, leave his place of worship,
go to the house and knock on her door to hand her the food.
Time passed by again. Shaytaan remained patient before executing his
next plan.
Shaytaan came again.
"Burseeesah...you can't leave this poor woman all alone. Without any
company. No one is speaking to her. She's lonely Burseesah. Just talk to
her. There's no harm in saying salaam and asking how she is. You can
talk to her from behind the door...you don't have to see her...just talk
from outside."
He liked the idea and when he would bring her the food he would talk to
her behind the door while she was in her room. They would talk for hours
every day and the relationship began to get stronger.
Shaytaan found it easier and easier to drag him into the next step.
"Burseeesah.....Burseesah....you can't just sit behind the door. You
know each other well enough to be in the same room now. Just sit in the
same room and speak to her. You don't have to look at her. Just sit in
the same room.">>
Burseesah began to follow the advice of Shaytaan. Everytime they met,
the talk became more intimate as they began getting closer...and
closer...and closer.
...He would hold her hand...
...The kiss came a few days later...
Eventually...they made zinaa [fornication] with each other.
"Ohh what have I done" Burseesah said as he realised his mistake.>>
--From being a slave of Allah...to becoming a fornicator.-->>
But the story did not end there.>>
From that night, the woman became pregnant. Nine months later she
delivered a baby boy.
The familiar whispers started again as Shaytaan flowed through
Burseesah's veins like blood.>>
"Burseeesaah...when her brothers come back and find out their sister has
a child in zinaa, you are going to be in trouble! There is only one way
to solve this problem. Burseesah........you have to kill the baby! Get
rid of the evidence!">>
Grief and anxiety ran through Burseesah's mind as he listened to the
whispers of Shaytaan. He did what he heard and killed the baby.
"Ohhhh Burseesah. Do you think this woman will keep this a secret after
you killed her own child?? Nooo. Burseesah.....the only thing to do now
is to kill her!"
Burseesah then killed the woman and buried both mother and child under
the house and covered it with a rock.>>
--From being a slave of Allah...to becoming a murderer.-->>
The three brothers returned and went to greet their sister. She was no
where to be found. They went to the house of Burseesah and asked him,
"Where is our sister?">>
"She has passed away" he said as he pointed to a fake grave. The
brothers were saddened by the loss, and made du'a for her.
That night when they went to sleep, Shaytaan came to them in their
dreams and told them all what had happened. >>
"Burseesah has lied to you! Burseesah killed your sister! Burseesah made
zinaa with her! She is buried under the rock inside the house."
As they all woke up in the morning, and talked about their dream, they
began relating the same dream and thought there must be some truth in
it.
They first dug up the grave Burseesah pointed to and found no body. They
stormed to Burseesah's house and demanded to know what had happened to
their sister. One of them saw the rock in the house and uncovered it,
where they saw their sister and her child.
"What has happened to our sister?!" The eldest screamed. They forced
Burseesah to disclose the secret of what happened and Burseesah told
them everything.
Burseesah was taken to court where he confessed everything to the King.
The King sentenced Burseesah to be executed. As they dragged him to his
death, fear overcame Burseesah.
For the first time during this whole incident, Shaytaan appeared before
Burseesah and said to him, "Oh Burseesah! Listen! Look at me! I was the
one who was whispering to you since this whole thing started! I am
Shaytaan!" >>
Burseesah's fear grew as the blade for his execution was brought!
"Now I can get you out of all this trouble. I was the one who put you in
it, and I can get you out of it!"
"Oh Shaytaan, what should I do?!" Burseesah cried!
With an evil grin, Shaytaan said, "Make sujood to me. I am Shaytaan and
I will save you! Bow down and prostrate to me!" Burseesah fell down in
sujood to Shaytaan and as soon as he did this, Shaytaan ran away!
.....and Burseesah was executed.>>
--From being a servant of Allah, bowing down to Allah...to becoming a
servant to Shaytaan...bowing down to Shaytaan. *-- From Imaan...to the
worst type of kufr - bowing down to Shaytaan! -->>
Who could ever imagine a servant of Allah making sujood to Shaytaan!?>>
Imagine if Shaytaan came to Burseesah at the beginning and said
"Burseesah make sujood to me", would Burseesah do it? NO!
If Shaytaan came to Burseesah at the beginning and said "commit murder",
would he do? NO! If Shaytaan came to Burseesah at the beginning and said
"commit zinaa", would he do it? NO!
But Shaytaan knows the game! He's been playing his tricks since the time
of Adam. Classical method of misleading people. Through step by step
deception. This is how Shaytaan pulls at your feet and deceives you. So
even if something may SEEM to be like an insignificant sin / action, be
careful. It might be the start of a trap.
Allah tells us "O you who believe! Do not follow the footsteps of the
Shaytaan, and whoever follows the footsteps of the Shaytaan, then surely
he bids the doing of indecency and evil" [24.21]
