DAY 123: A'raf 10-18

•  We have indeed established you on earth and provided you with a means of livelihood. ˹Yet˺ you seldom give any thanks. Surely We created you, then shaped you, then said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam,” so they all did—but not Iblîs, who refused to prostrate with the others.Allah asked, “What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?” He replied, “I am better than he is: You created me from fire and him from clay.” Allah said, “Then get down from Paradise! It is not for you to be arrogant here. So get out! You are truly one of the disgraced.” He appealed, “Then delay my end until the Day of their resurrection.” Allah said, “You are delayed ˹until the appointed Day˺.” He said, “For leaving me to stray I will lie in ambush for them on Your Straight Path. I will approach them from their front, their back, their right, their left, and then You will find most of them ungrateful.”  Allah said, “Get out of Paradise! You are disgraced and rejected! I will certainly fill up Hell with you and your followers all together.”

      Arrogance Leads to Ruin (Iblis’s downfall).
      Allah Tests Us with Satan’s Existence (to distinguish true believers).
      Satan Attacks from All Directions (doubt, greed, despair).
      Gratitude Protects from Misguidance (most people are ungrateful).
      Following Satan = Hellfire (Allah’s justice is absolute).
      
      Check your heart daily: Are you grateful or entitled?
      Shaytan targets the ungrateful first.
      Say "Alhamdulillah"—it’s the weapon he hates most.
      
      Gratitude to Allah shields you from Satan’s arrogance and misguidance—so thank Him constantly, repent sincerely, and firmly stick to the Straight Path to escape Hellfire
