Satan, Mullah-types and Burgers




Satan's Story according to Islam goes something like this. The dude was a chilled out cool guy and quite close to god. Then one day God made man. Satan was like all pissed off and said to God..."what evvvvaaaaaa". Then God told em all to prostrate to Adam...and satan was like " Talk to the hand!". And from then on started the long war between Mankind, satan and his legions.


Satan plotted and plotted and then found the perfect stratagem. He decided to test Man and then placed him into 2 categories:

1.The resolution of fearlessness and bravery; or:
2.The resolution of turning away and abstention and contempt.

For if Satan sees that his mainstay upon the soul is contempt and abstention, he then begins to hinder him and weaken his endeavour as well as his intent from that which he was commanded with. Thus he makes it burdensome for him, and so he demeans it upon him in order that he should abandon it – such that stage by stage he abandons it; or falls short in it; and so neglects it.

However if he sees that the mainstay over the sole is: the strength of fearlessness and being strong-hearted; he then seeks to cause his underestimation of that which he was commanded with. Thus he causes him to fall into the illusion that he has not sufficed in it; therefore needing exertion with that along with that which is additional.


Henceforth,the extremists are formed. Men and Women who fail to see the demarcated middle path and fall of the edge sadly.

ie in colloquial terms "Burgers" and "Mullah-types" are born
