b) سالبة: In which the relationship between the excepted and the antecedent of the excepted in For example: The statement, “is become as one of us” is very clumsily translated in English. I will quote a little from Adam Clarke, a Greek and Hebrew scholar: “A very learned man has ventured the following paraphrase, which should not be lightly regarded: ‘And the Lord God said, The man who was like one of us in purity and wisdom, is now fallen and robbed of his excellence; he has added ladaath, to the knowledge of the good, by his transgression the knowledge of the evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat and live for ever in this miserable state, I will remove him, and guard the place lest he should reenter. Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden.’” However, it is quite important, in exactly the same way as the belief in the virgin birth of Jesus is essential to salvation. For if Christ was not born of a virgin, then He did not escape the curse of inherited sin and could not offer an unblemished sacrifice as an atonement for our salvation. This simple belief (in the virgin birth) is a fundamental underpinning in the moral law justification of our salvation. In the same way, the correct understanding of whether the devil was in heaven, whether heaven is corruptible, whether angels have free will and can sin, etc., has serious and far-reaching effects. Does God authorize moral evil? Can an infinitely holy Being be the author of moral evil? Did and does God send lying spirits to deceive men? Does He dispatch adulterous spirits, covetous spirits, murderous spirits, etc., to do the work of evil on the earth? What does the scripture mean wherein is stated that He hardened Pharaoh’s heart? Is God partial toward some people, giving some a chance to get saved, while others do not have a chance? At stake is nothing more or less than our understanding of the character of God and the nature of our faith in Him.

Within the Quran, we find the constant usage of the exceptive particle الاّ (illa) [4] known as the حرف الاستثناء which necessitates two nouns, the exception مستثنى (mustathna) and the antecedent of the exception مستثنى منه ( mustathna minh). [5] Considering the principles mentioned above, we are able to apply them on the verse concerning our topic: Man was created morally upright and good in the image of God. “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him.” * (Genesis 1:27) “Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright.” * (Ecclesiastes 7:29)As a result of that war, this evil angel was cast cast out of heaven and cut down to the ground. Pride caused his fall and also the fall of those that chose to listen to him. In His own words, Jesus described the scene as “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven” ( Luke 10:18). While this is a title and not a name, by the time Jesus began preaching in Israel, Satan had become a commonly used designation for the devil (see Matthew 4:10; Matthew 12:26; Mark 1:13; Mark 3:23; Luke 10:18; Luke 11:18; John 13:27; Acts 5:3; and Acts 26:18). Revelations 12:9 calls him the dragon that leads the whole world astray. This means that he is the one responsible for turning the hearts of men against God and His ways. How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High’”

But while we ought to be vigilant against Satan, we don’t need to fear him. We don’t even know his actual name. I think that’s by design.

Interestingly, at one point, the Church embraced the symbol to signify the five piercing wounds that Jesus received on the Cross (the nails in his hands and feet, along with the spear through his side). However, the symbol later became associated with witchcraft and satanism. I’m not after your empathy. I empathize with you. It must be terrible. Trapped by your past, unable to live in the present…” — Touka Kirishima As you can see, Satan is far more than a red figure with horns and a pitchfork. He is an ancient being who has real spiritual power that he wields for evil and selfish purposes. In particular, he is the enemy of Christians and seeks their destruction. So here are 3 important truths to remember as we navigate that spiritual reality. Satan, the personification of evil, was once one of God’s most beautiful angels in Heaven. This evil angel was originally called Lucifer, which means son of the morning ( Isaiah 14:12). He was the prince of angels, the bearer of light. God created him to be perfect in wisdom and beauty, a spectacle of flawlessness. But this was not enough for him. For He wanted to sit on the mount of God and be like God. Isaiah 14:12-14

What’s interesting in these verses is that Ezekiel seems to poetically portray the kind of fall that Satan himself experienced. Ezekiel refers to him being in the Garden of Eden and talks about him being a cherub (a particular kind of angel), who was cast down from heaven. When people are called children of the devil, it isn’t to say that they’re literally the biological descendants of Satan. But in the same way that children carry on the legacy and trade of their father, those who perpetuate the works of Satan act as his children. These verses have been the cause of many discussions and debates amongst theologians and scholars of the Arabic language on whether Satan himself is from the angels himself or separate from them. Before entering this discussion, it is important to consider the grammatical analysis and the preliminaries for understanding this verse which consequently shapes the essence of this discussion and allows us to see the importance of each word and its impact within Arabic grammar. You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering…You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; you were on the holy mountain of God… You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you…“Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground ’ ” ( Ezekiel 28:12-19). Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes on you. By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade you profaned your sanctuaries; so I brought fire out from your midst; it consumed you, and I turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all who saw you. All who know you among the peoples are appalled at you; you have come to a dreadful end and shall be no more forever." ( Ezekiel 28:11-19) The Fall of Lucifer in the Bible
