Talbis Iblis Deceit Of Iblis

No doubt, Iblis is the most dangerous enemy of mankind, who
caused Adam and Eve to come out of Paradise, and swore by the Honor of Allah
that he would do his best to mislead men, and take them out of the straight path.
He, without doubt, will continue to do so relentlessly until the Day of
Judgement. This book "Talbis Iblis" (Deceit of Iblis) is of great importance
and high value in the Islamic tradition because Ibn Al-Jawzi [may Allah have
mercy upon him] discloses in it some of Iblis's strategies, tricks, approaches
and deceits against many communities and sects of Muslims, whom he tempts, and
puts to confusion about their religion. He makes errors and religious
innovations fair-seeming to their eyes. Consequently, they have become
deep-rooted in their minds like a religion which they believe in and act upon
in all their life affairs. The real value of this book, in my view, is that
with each deceit he mentions, he clarifies its nature, and the best way to
treat it. I hope the reader and scholar will have a great benefit from reading
and studying this book, Allah willing.
