Assalm-o-Alaikum!
this is not a bonus chapter or the chunks of story or anything it is the explanation of the question asked by @maha997_ . But that doesn't make it ONLY for her its for allll of you :* maybe this same thing was there in your mind as well but you didnt ask.... so here it is the reason why Tehreem was being called as iblees by Hussain in Towards Dawn.
and yeah on a very important note, let me confess that I am totally ignorant and I have seriously no knowledge of my faith and my deen, am only a learner myself no scholar no learned person at all. so if you find any error in the text below please forgive me and DO correct me.
Love you all :*
Why Hussain called Tehreem as Iblees?
Do you know the story of Adam and iblees? Who was iblees who was Adm?What was that special in their story that after thousands of years even today we can relate it to ourselves? What was the universality in their story?
I know most of us already know the story but how did it relate to Tehreem and Hussain's story?
Iblees wasn't iblees, he was Azaazeel; the most beloved, most ardent and most dedicated angel of Allah (SWT). He was the one who spent his days and nights in His worship only, he was the one who was loved the most by Allah (SWT) and then all of a sudden... PUFF!!!! All the love gone. Respect lost. That highest rank that rutbah that Allah had given to Azaazeel was snatched and Azaazeel became iblees forever.
After thousand years of pure love and worship Azaazeel became the head of all the angels, the superior one the closest to Allah (SWT) and then one day Allah decided to expand His creatures, He decided to create (MAN) Adam (AS) and He did as we all know when Allah decides anything He only says kun fayakun and there its is... already happened.
So after creating Adam (AS) Allah (SWT) called all His angels and introduced Adam to them as the most superior being, giving him the highest rank in his worshipers Allah informed all the angels that you all have been worshiping me for ages but this.... This man,he will do ibadah on earth, will stand in ibadah for just one night sacrificing his sleep and that worship will be far accepted, that will be closest to Me.
That just burnt Azaazeel.
Well, just imagine you being the closest of your Mom, the beloved the apple the cherry of her eyes and suddenly all of a sudden out of nowhere she informs you that hay! Meet her,she is the new girl and she is now my favorite daughter, my best friend and i know already that her love for me is going to be far special than all the love in your heart.
BAM!!!! It will hurt you and the karela on the top your Mom asks you to treat her as your superior and to give her the best toys you have, or worst the best dress you have.... God! That will upset you to the core.
You will cry, you will shout, you wont accept that and you wont talk to your Mom and so did Azaazeel.
And then to his top most pain Allah (SWT) asked all the angels to do sajdah, to prostrate in front of Adam (AS). All the angels did so but again Azaazeel went totally nuts.
Azaazeel was like; this Adam! Hs is a man, made of mud and dust and look at me! I am the most special angel, I am Azaazeel the angel in all the angels Allah loves ME the most, I am made of ethereal light and this man! Adam nothing but dust.... Doing sajdah to him would be a total shame.
I WILL NEVER DO THAT
Just a NO, just one refusal and Azaazeel became iblees
It wasn't only because he refused, it was because the REASON why he refused. And the reason was PRIDE.
He was so full of himself, so high on his esteem and so much proud on being the best angel that he couldn't even take that, he couldn't absorb the fact that from now onwards there will be someone better than me in respect of Allah's worship.
And that pride threw him down in the pits of fire.
Now think about Tehreem for a minute; a girl who gave her whole life to Allah and His worship, a girl who loved Him more than she loved anyone in her life. She was the girl who once missed her fajir prayer and she cried the whole day.... She cried her eyes out on the fact that she missed her prayer.
Tehreem was someone who could give her life in the way of Allah (SWT) with the brightest smile on her face and satisfaction in her heart.
That love for Allah was the reason why she believed in Hussain. she believed that her Rabb has chosen him for her which made Hussain the best choice. She blindly accepted the fact that she was engaged with a guy jis k nam k siwa wo kuch nai janti thi, wo dhoombros tha, youtuber tha, wo stud, tha hot tha, famous tha.... Tehreem didn't know a word.... She just knew that Rabb has made the tie so yes! She was happy with that.
And she gave it a chance.... She talked to him those certain restricted limits, she talked until the talking started affecting her relation with Rabb and the day she missed her fajir prayer just because she talked to Hussain late in night.... The next morning she decided not to talk to him anymore, the next morning she realized he was still Namehram for her and she put a full stop right there and then, because the last thing tehreem could imagine was her Rabb upset with her.
Now imagine her love . she could give up anything for His sake, for His love.
And then after trusting His ways, His decisions Hussain betrayed her.... (well, yeah in some ways he did. those who still believe that Hussain ki to koi ghalti nai thi wo to bechara bekar mein phans gaya.... get a life people accept it that he was wrong)
He made fun of the relation, he made fun of her feelings towards Rabb. Tehreem couldn't take that anymore, she could stand up to anything but that. It was a big deep stab in her heart which was full with ardent love for Rabb.
Tehreem was also Azaazeel; close to Rabb and special but what did He do to her? He made her suffer in her heart.
Tehreem was Azaazeel; all the time loving Rabb but what did He do to her? He send Hussain in her life who turned as the most harsh violent wave in the calm sea of her life.
She was shattered, totally broken inside out. She believed in Rabb and His ways but ye kia ho gaya? ye ker diya merey Rabb ne mery sath? Mein to itni muhabbat kerti thi Rabb se... sajdon se sr nai uthati thi, ibadat kerti thi dil ki gehraiyon se phir Q? phir q Rabb ne ek aesey insan ko chuna merey liye jo mery qabil he nai tha????
Now that was the voice inside her heart.... Hussain merey qabil nai tha and mein kabhi usey maaf nai karoon gi, wo terrpey ga, roye ga, girrgiraye ga mager mein ta-qayamat usey maaf nai karoon gi.... This turned her down, this apparent pride of her made her iblees from Azaazeel.
Though she still loved Rabb she was still ardent in her love and worship BUT somewhere deep down she felt that maybe I deserved better... NO? and why did she think so? because she considered herself as a little superior than Hussain.
And what does Rabb says? no one is superior or no one is inferior to anyone but its is only Rabb who can decide so.
Allah kehta hea k mein samader jitney gunnah bhi nadamat k ek aansoo per maaf ker deta hoon, wo kehta hea k Shab-e-Qadr mein apney arsh se uter ker pehly aasmaan per aata hoon siraf is liye k kaheen koi mera banda ro raha ho, girgira raha ho mujh se maafi ka talabgaar ho or mein usey maaf ker doon. Phir chahey us k gunnah kitney he q nah on.... Mein maaf ker doon usey.
So if Allah forgives being the king of all the kings, the Lord of all the lords if He can show mercy who are we? Who was Tehreem? what was her worth in front of Allah that she felt pride and didn't forgive Hussain. She didn't even give him a chance to speak....
Phir Rabb ki narazgi to banti hea... Us ne mushkilon mein bhi dala or pareshaniyan bhi deen, Us ne aazmaya Tehreem ko bhi or Hussain ko bhi. Hussain ki nadamat us k aansoo Allah ko itney pasand aaye k agley pichly tamaam gunah maf ker diya, apney itney qareeb ker diya k hafiz ka derja mil gaya.
Mager Tehreem had to go through pain not because Allah hated her but because of the fact that Allah wanted to test her.... and finally He forgave her too, gave her happiness and turned all her tears into smiles in the form of Ibraheem.
....
Okay I talk so much God!!!! literally I eat your brains up. right? I knew that ;)
So it was the reason why Hussain called her iblees.... Because she didn't forgive him, she didn't give him a chance to speak to clarify and trust me if she had given him a chance all that ten years of sufferings wouldn't have happened even.
Mager phir mein kahani kesey likhti ;) lolxxx and you all know how much I like giving you people twisty plots and 90 degree turns in my stories :D
So I really hope Maha that things are little bit clear but even now if you have any question please ask. I would love to rant again :-p
Love you loads:*
