📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Hijr – Verse 33

He said, "It is not for me to prostrate to a human being whom You have created from sounding clay, from black mud molded [40]."

✅ [40] The Rejection of Iblis to Prostrate

From this, several issues emerge:

  1. Shaitaan was the first in the creation of Allah Almighty to label a Prophet as a human being. Now, if anyone calls the Prophet a human being to show equality, they are following a satanic practice.

  2. Shaitaan had seen the body of Hazrat Adam (on whom be peace), not his light and soul. Thus, if anyone's gaze is only upon the human nature of the Prophet, their end will be the same as Shaitaan's.

  3. To establish our own opinion in opposition to Divine injunction is indeed the work of the devil. Thus, analogy is not permissible when it goes against categorical Quranic injunctions.
