I'm seven hundred years old, Alexander. I know when something isn't going to work. You won't even admit I exist to your parents."
Alec stared at him. "I thought you were three hundred! You're seven huundred years old?"
"Well," Magnus amended, "eight hundred. But I dont look it. Anyway, you're missing the point. The point is-"
But Alec never found out what the point was because at that moment a dozen more Iblis demons flooded into the square. He felt his jaw drop. "Damn it."
Magnus followed his gaze. the demons were already fanning out into a half circle around them, their yellow eyes glowing. "Way to change the subject, Lightwood.

“
Alec?" Magnus was staring at him. He had dispatched the remaining Iblis demons, and the square was empty but for the two of them. "Did you just- did you just save my life?"
Alec knew he ought to say something like, Of course, because I'm a Shadowhunter and that's what we do, or That's my job. Jace would have said something like that. Jace always knew the right thing to say. But the words that actually came out of Alec's mouth where quite different- and sounded petulant, even to his own ears. "You never called me back," he said. "I called you so many times and you never called me back."
Magnus looked at Alec as if he'd lost his mind. "Your city is under attack," he said. "The wards have broken, and the streets are full of demons. And you want to know why I haven't called you?

The true Sufi cannot utter any prayer beginning with the word 'I,' for example: 'I want to know Thee better.' For to do this presupposes that there are two beings: the Sufi and Allah.

When you uncork a bottle of mature fine wine, what you are drinking is the product of a particular culture and tradition, a particular soil, a particular climate, the weather in that year, and the love and labour of people who may since have died. The wine is still changing, still evolving, so much so that no two bottles can ever be quite the same. By now, the stuff has become incred- ibly complex, almost ethereal. Without seeking to blaspheme, it has become something like the smell and taste of God.

bedenlerin olmadığı bir kavgaya hazırlanman gerekiyor, her durumda karşı koymayı başarabileceğin, soyut bir kavgaya, diğerlerinin aksine düşe kalka öğrenilen bir kavgaya.
kusurların mı, telaşa gerek yok. düşüncesizlik edip onları düzelteyim deme. sonra yerlerine ne koyacaksın ki?
güçsüzlüğünü olduğu gibi sakla. yeni güç kazanmaya çalışma, hele senin için olmayan güçler, sana göre tasarlanmamış güçler, doğanın seni başka şeylere hazırlarken senden kaçındığı güçler söz konusuysa…
birinin gelip senin içinde yüzmesine, senin içine yerleşmesine, senin içine alçı dökmesine izin veriyorsun ve sen hala kendin olmak istiyorsun!
yanlışlarının sonuna kadar git, en azından bazı yanlışlarının, tam olarak hangi tür yanlış olduğunu iyice gözlemlemene imkan verecek biçimde. bunu yapmazsan, yarı yolda durursan, körlemesine gidersin ve tüm yaşamın boyunca hep aynı tür yanlışları tekrarlarsın, bazıları da çıkar buna senin “kaderinmiş” der. düşmanı, ki bu aslında kendi yapındır, zorla, açığa çıksın. eğer kendi kaderini değiştiremdiysen, o zaman kiralık bir daire olabilirsin yalnızca.
çok erken akıllı oldukları için aptallar. sen ise uyum göstermek için acele etme. yedekte hep bir uyumsuzluk sakla.
insanları hiç derinden tanımadın. onları gerçekten gözlemlemedin, hatta onları sonuna kadar sevmedin veya onlardan sonuna kadar nefret etmedin. sen yalnızca sayfaları şöyle bir karıştırmakla yetindin. öyleyse senin de sayfalarını karıştırmalarına ve birkaç yapraktan ibaret olmaya razı ol.
anımsa, kazanan her kazandığında kaybeder.
kendi küçük dünyanda hep daha fazla hüzmetkarım oldu diye düşünürken, muhtemelen sen daha fazla hizmetkar oluyorsun. kimin? neyin? eh işte artık ara, ara!
bir şey yakaladıysan ister istemez daha fazlasına sahip olmuşsun demektir. bu fazlalıktan hiç şüphe duymuyorsun ve hakkında hiçbir şey bilmiyorsun, aradan uzun bir zaman geçmeden de bilmeyeceksin. belki tüm bir dönem geçtikten sonra da bilmeyeceksin. o zaman çok geç olacak. evet, çok geç.
rahat olabilirsin, içinde berraklık kalmış. tek bir yaşamda her şeyi kirletememişsin.
kendi kendine bulaşıcısındır, bunu anımsa. senin sana galip gelmesine izin verme.
meleğinin sıkıcı hale gelmesi, seni bir iblis seçmeye zorladı, o da seni şeytanlaştırandan başkası değildir. onu iyi seçtin mi? olması gerektiği gibi şeytansıdır; ama şeytanın gücü senin cılız gücünle ille de orantısız değildir. göz kulak ol ona, sıkıca sarılırlar, bunu biliyorsun değil mi?
eğer bir kara kurbağası italyanca konuşabiliyorsa, zamanla neden fransızca konuşmasın niye konuşmasın?
aptallık edip kendini göstermiş olsan dahi, sakin ol, onlar seni görmediler.
bir insanın yaşamın da taşıyabileceği duygu yükü sonsuz değildir. Üstelik çoğu insan da çabucak sona varır. daha da vahim olanı, senin hissedebileceklerinin yelpazesi sınırlı bir açıklığa sahiptir. büyük zahmetle, büyük riskler alarak ya da şansın yardımıyla ya da büyük kurnazlıkla bu yelpazeyi bazı kereler biraz daha açmayı başarabilirsin, o da belli bir süre için. ama doğanın yelpazesi öyle yapılmıştır ki, eğer sürekli dikkat etmezsen, fazla geçmeden daralır, ta ki kapanıncaya kadar.
her allahın günü batan için ne yolcu gemisine ne de yolunu şaşırmış bir buzula ihtiyaç vardır, batmak, ilelebet batmak için. sahne düzenine ihtiyaç yoktur. ne titanic ne atlantis. eşlik yok, görecek bir şey de yok. yalnızca batıyorsun.
elde, kalptekinden daha fazla şefkat, kalpte de davranıştan daha fazla şefkat bulunur.
ona ait hareketleri bul. onun arzuladığı ve seni yeniden biçimleyecek hareketleri. elin dansı. şu andaki ve uzaktaki etkilerini gözlemle. bu çok önemlidir, özellikle hiç elleriyle hareket etmeyen bir insan olmuşsan. sende eksik olan buydu, boşu boşuna dışarıda aradıkların, incelemelerde ve derlemelerde değil. tanımsızca ele dön.

Her halükarda bunun, öncelikle insanları olduklarından daha iyi yaratmamış olan, sonra, her şey istisnasız onun eseri olduğu ve hiçbir şey ondan gizli kalmadığı için, düşeceklerini mutlaka bilmesi gereken bir tuzağı onlara hazırlamış olan bir yaratıcı tarafından önceden görülmesi gerekirdi. Dolayısıyla o günaha mahkum, zayıf, iradesiz bir soyu yoktan varlığa davet etmiş ve bunu da sonsuz azap ve işkenceye terk etmek için yapmıştır. Son olarak şu da var ki her türlü saldırı ve tecavüze karşı, hatta düşmanını sevmeye kadar, sabır ve bağışlayıcılığı buyuran Tanrı, kendisini bunların hiçbiriyle bağlı görmemekte, hatta tersini yapmaktadır. Her şeyin ebediyen sona erip defterinin dürüldüğü dünyanın sonunda gerçekleşen bir ceza ne ıslahı ne de caydırmayı hedefleyebilir ve bu yüzden sadece intikamdan ibarettir. Bu açıdan düşünüldüğünde bütün insan soyu, kimsenin nedenini bilmediği takdir ve lütuf sayesinde kurtarılmış çok küçük bir azınlık dışında, doğrudan ebedi azap ve lanet için yaratılmış ve kesin olarak ona mahkum edilmiş görünür. Fakat bunlar bir tarafa, sanki Kadir-i Mutlak, dünyayı İblis ele geçirsin diye yaratmış gibidir ki bu durumda hiç yaratmamış olsaydı çok daha iyi olurdu.

PERCAKAPAN DUA DUNIA
Dari sepasang ranting aku pernah mendengar percakapan yang seperti ini;
Bukankah tak ada yang bersua dulu untuk apa yang kita kehendaki kini? Bagaimana menghadirkan cinta ketika waktu tiba tiba berhenti?
Bila cinta tak lagi memiliki ketulusan, apakah hati mesti berkorban? Kepada siapa hati mesti berserah, ketika semua wajah telah berpaling? Saat tak ada makhluk lain yang bakal peduli.
Lalu siapa yang akan menimbang semua kesedihan yang ditinggalkannya? Ia yang sejenak mempertanyakan Tuhan ada di mana? Ketika andai tak pernah jadi mungkin. Dan mungkin tak pernah hadir sebagai kenyataan.
Menunggu, ya cuma menunggu sampai seseorang atau malaikat atau iblis barangkali akan menyapanya kembali. Hari ini, esok atau entah kapan?
Saat musim menghentikan semua ritualnya. Bersikeras membalut luka luka waktu yang diciptakannya sendiri. Waktu yang jadi gamang dan kehilangan arah. Waktu yang tak lagi menuju ke masa depan.
Saat biji tak lagi bertunas, daun tak kunjung gugur, ranting tetap menghijau, kuncup tak mampu mekar dan pohon berhenti menua.
Tak ada yang berubah kecuali dirinya. Terjerat pada kenisbian waktu. Semacam relativitas, sebuah semesta lain yang tak terlukiskan.

The nature of God understood in Islam is not the same as the conceptions of God understood in the various religious traditions of the world; nor is it the same as the conceptions of God understood in Greek and Hellenistic philosophical tradition; nor as the conceptions of God understood in Western philosophical or scientific tradition; nor in that of Occidental and Oriental mystical traditions. The apparent similarities that may be found between their various conceptions of God with the nature of God understood in Islam cannot be interpreted as evidence of identity of the One Universal God in their various conceptions of the nature of God; for each and everyone of them serves and belongs to a different conceptual system, which necessarily renders the conception as a whole or the super system to be dissimilar with one another....
Nor is there a 'transcendent unity of religions', if by 'unity' is meant 'oneness' or 'sameness'; and if by 'unity' is not meant 'oneness' or 'sameness', then there is plurality or dissimilarity of religions even at the level of transcendence. If it is conceded that there is plurality or dissimilarity at that level, and that by 'unity' is meant 'interconnectedness of parts that constitute a whole', so that the 'unity' is the interconnection of the plurality or dissimilarity of religions as of parts constituting a whole, then it follows that at the level of ordinary existence, in which mankind is subject to the limitations of humanity and the material universe, any one religion is incomplete in itself, is in itself inadequate to realize its purpose, and can only realize its purpose, which is true submission to the One Universal God without associating with him any partner, rival, or like, at the level of transcendence. But religion is meant to realize its purpose precisely at the level of existence in which mankind is subject to the limitations of humanity and the material universe and not when mankind is not subject to these limitations as the term 'transcendent' conveys.
If 'transcendent' is meant to refer to an ontological condition not included under any of the ten categories, God is, strictly speaking, not the God of religion (i.e. ilah) in the sense that there could be such a thing as a 'unity' of religions at that level. At that level God is recognized as rabb, not as ilah; and recognizing Him as rabb does not necessarily imply oneness or sameness in the proper acknowledgement of the truth that is recognized, since Iblis also recognized God as rabb and yet did not properly acknowledge Him. Indeed, all of Adam's progeny have already recognized Him as rabb at that level. But mankind's recognition of Him as such is not true unless followed by proper acknowledgement at that level in which He is known as ilah. And proper acknowledgement at the level in which He is known as ilah consists in not associating Him with any partner, rival, or like, and in submitting to Him in the manner and form approved by Him and shown by His sent Prophets.

Love and the Eyes A believer may come to know the reality of another person either through his or her face, or through his or her words. God says: And if We wish, We could show them to you, then you would recognise them by their mark. And you will certainly recognise them by [their] tone of speech, and God knows your deeds. (Muhammad, 47:30) And the Messenger of God (s.a.w.) said: ‘Beware the insight of the believer, for he [or she] sees by the light of God.’ [148] This is generally the case with the believers, but there is something special—a great mystery—about a person’s eyes which may: (1) express love; or (2) engender love in the beholder himself or herself [149] , or (3) engender love in the one who looks into their eyes. In other words, love may: (1) be seen by others in a person’s eyes; (2) ‘enter’ a person through his or her eyes into his or her soul and heart as they look at someone else, or (3) cause another person to love them as a result of a meeting of the eyes—of ‘eye-contact’. God alludes to all of this with His words: He knows the treachery of the eyes and what the breasts hide. (Ghafir, 40:19) Thus the eyes betray love in the soul and heart, and make it plain to see; and the eyes can also cause love to grow, when there is prolonged eye-contact. This allows us to understand the two Hadiths: Ibn Mas’ud and Hudhayfah both reported that the Messenger of God (s.a.w.) said: ‘The glance of the eye is a poison dart fired by Iblis [the Devil]; whosoever leaves it through fear of Me, I shall replace it for him with a faith whose sweetness he shall experience in his heart.’ [150] And ‘Ali bin Abi Talib (a.s.) reported that the Messenger of God (s.a.w.) said: ‘O ‘Ali, do not follow one glance with another, for you are permitted the first one but not the second.’ [151] Conversely, when Mughirah ibn Shu’bah wanted to ask for a woman’s hand in marriage, the Messenger of God (s.a.w.) said to him: ‘Look upon her, for it is more likely that you will bond with each other.’ [152] This explains the importance of lowering one’s gaze [153] , which God commands the believers to do, with His words: Tell believing men to lower their gaze and to guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Truly God is Aware of what they do. / And tell believing women to lower their gaze and to guard their private parts, and not to display their adornment except for what is apparent, and let them draw their veils over their bosoms and not reveal their adornment, except to their husbands or their fathers, or their husbands’ fathers, or their sons, or their husbands’ sons, or their brothers, or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons, or their women, or what their right hands own, or such men who are dependant, not possessing any sexual desire, or children who are not yet aware of women’s private parts. And do not let them thump with their feet to make known their hidden ornaments. And rally to God in repentance, O believers, so that you might be successful. (Al-Nur, 24:30-31) Similarly, God warns His Messenger (s.a.w.) as follows: And do not extend your glance toward what We have given to some pairs among them to enjoy, [as] the flower of the life of this world that We may try them thereby.

Well, the 'origin story' for Malak Tâwus is almost exactly the same as the Muslim myth about Iblis, the djinn they later call Shaytan—but Yezidi revere Malak Tâwus for refusing to submit to Adam, while Muslims believe that Iblis's refusal to submit was what made him fall out of grace with Allah. From our point of view, God praised Malak Tâwus for refusing to serve something made out of dust, because he was made from God's own light; instead of punishing him, God made the Peacock Angel His own representative on earth, telling him to dole out responsibilities, blessings, and bad luck as he saw fit. And we can't question him, because he's beyond good and evil—good and evil are human qualities.

The Prophet said to the jinni: “This is the stride of a jinni, as well as the tone of his voice!” The jinni replied: “My name is Hamah ibn Laqqis ibn Iblis.” The Prophet said: “Only two generations separate you from him [Iblis].” He replied: “True.” The Prophet asked: “How long have you lived?” The jinni replied: “Almost all of time. I was a small boy when Abel was killed. I believed in Noah and repented at his hands after I stubbornly refused to submit to his call, until he wept and wept. I am indeed a repentant—God keep me from being among the ignorant! I met the prophet Hud and believed in his call. I met Abraham, and I was with him when he was thrown in the fire. I was with Joseph, too, when his brothers hurled him into the well—I preceded him to its bottom. I met the prophet Shu‘ayb, and Moses and Jesus the son of Mary, who told me: ‘If you meet Muhammad, tell him Jesus salutes thee!’ Now I’ve delivered his message to you, and I believe in you.” The Prophet said: “What is your desire, O Hamah?” He said: “Moses taught me the Torah, Jesus the Gospels, can you teach me the Qur’an?” So the Prophet taught him the Qur’an.

Satan in Islam “…Satan is an enemy to you…. He only invites his adherents that they may become companions of the blazing fire.” Quran 35:6 ~ Satan was one of the Jinn.[13] He was the best among them and elevated to a high position. ~ Allah cursed Satan when he did not bow down before Adam. ~ The Quran talks about Iblis (Satan) as a physical being created from fire. ~ He is a rebellious creature who touches every human at birth so that they will commit evil acts.

One of the greatest problems in our universe is how to control procreation, and the energy hidden in it.

Hasan Basri He advised some of his students admonishing them about avoiding the state of being proud. He said: 1) Do not deceive yourself into becoming too proud because you are in a good or righteous environment, for there is no place that is better than Paradise, and our father, Adam, experienced there what is known to all. 2) Do not become proud merely because you worship often, for consider what happened to Iblis (Satan) after he spent a great deal of time worshipping. 3) Do not think yourself great because you have met with righteous people, for there is no man more righteous than the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), yet the disbelievers and hypocrites did not benefit by simply knowing him.

Allah only applied "between His two hands" to Adam as a mark of honour, and so He said to
Iblis, "What prevented you prostrating to what I created with My two Hands?" (38:76) That is
none other than the union in Adam of the two forms - the form of the universe and the form
of the Real: and they are the two hands of Allah. Iblis is only a fragment of the universe
and does not possess this comprehensive quality. It is because of this quality that Adam was a
khalif. Had he not had the form of the One who appointed him khalif, he would not have been
khalif. If there were not in him all that is in the world, and what his flocks, over whom he is
khalif, demand of him because of their dependence on him (and he must undertake all they
need from him) he would not have been khalîf over them.

Rumah terpencil di pinggiran sawah itu dan cupang merah di lehermu, bagaimana engkau bisa menjelaskannya? Apakah itu bentuk kekerasan pada diri sendiri?
Bagaimana aku bisa melindungi dirimu dari kejahatan yang aku ciptakan? Hatiku telah mengeras seperti batu. Otakku mengerut lisut seperti walnut. Penuh dengan ulat dan kebusukan.
Aku tak mampu lagi mengenali hasratku sendiri. Ingatan mengabur seperti malam menjelang pagi. Langit gelap tertelan mimpi. Cahaya putih di mana mana.
Apa yang engkau rencanakan untuk mengelabui sang waktu? Menidurkan diriku dalam buaian gelombang. Erangan demi erangan. Tangan yang mencekik lehernya sendiri. Kelam mimpi yang menikam mati.
Layar lap top berkedip mengisahkan kebohongan yang lama menghantuiku. Gambaran brutal pembunuhan keji. Gadis kecil yang aku cintai. Rembulan mata hatiku.
Engkau atau aku yang sebenarnya? Siapa dari kita yang sesungguhnya iblis? Kita berdua adalah pembunuh dengan jubah yang sama. Engkau alibi sempurna bagi keberadaanku, demikian pula sebaliknya. Hidup adalah neraka walau hanya sekejap.

According to Hebrew traditions, demons preferred to haunt isolated, remote, or unclean places: ruins, the desert, latrines.1 They are far from harmless and will attack both man and beast. They cause both physical and mental illnesses and are especially dreadful at night. In Islamic traditions, the shayātīn (satans) and djinn hide in caves, swamps, mountains, valleys, thickets, and deserts.2 In fact, they had been banished by God, and the angels who carried out His sentence drove them into the “confines of the isles.” Iblis, the prince of the djinn, asked God for a meeting place and He gave them the crossroads and marketplaces.

Perempuan Bernama Jen
Waktu kau ijinkan aku masuk ke dalam pikiranmu, ada yang tiba-tiba terlintas; mengapa laut dan awan dan hujan diciptakan hanya untuk mengekalkan kepedihan?
Semacam kontradiksi yang sulit untuk dimengerti. Tapi barangkali, dari lirik lagu yang pelan-pelan kau nyanyikan aku bisa menafsirkannya sedikit, bahwa semua yang hadir dalam dirimu tak lain adalah upaya untuk melawan takdir.
Kau hanya berusaha untuk bisa memberi makna pada diri sendiri. Agar engkau bisa dengan mudah menitikkan air mata yang akan melepaskan penderitaanmu dari semua rahasia yang terkunci. Hulu mata air di mana sengsaramu mengalir.
Walau tak kutahu mengapa seseorang menganggap dirimu sebagai jelmaan iblis dan bukannya malaikat? Hanya karena kau berikan semacam kenikmatan kepada semua orang yang nyaris mati karena rasa hausnya atas makna kebahagiaan yang ternyata sia-sia belaka.
Tapi bukankah semua orang menanggung dosanya sendiri? Dari sejak mula pertama kutahu namamu, kau tak menyembunyikan apa-apa selain perasaan yang berlebihan kepada dunia ini. Sedangkan aku tak ingin membenci ataupun mencintaimu, Jen. Dan biarlah selamanya demikian.

Pangea split so now we're filled in a fit of pique.
We brim with lust, spirit willing, but the flesh is weak.
Consumed by greed, shoving everything down our throat.
Sloth a cottonseed, weaving us, we are a coat.
Zeal reveals our hearts conceal a deep and endless pit.
Grudge we hold against the world, she owes us every bit.
Iblis sees humanity's impending aftermath.
So now my friend, a gift he gives, its ink is wrath.

As the symbols reveal their knowledge, the Luciferian should utilize and bravely command and encircle the powers which are accessed via the Deific Masks as we understand them. A Muslim epithet of Shaitan is Maliku’l-Quwat, meaning Lord of Power. Iblis is not for Luciferians a symbol of “evil”, the Adversary motivates, challenges and inspires those bearing the Black Flame to become via Apotheosis. We are symbolically the new Nephilim, born of the Spirit and Earth and balanced between both with the potential to govern our inner and outer existence. Luciferians utilize some Sufi techniques. A theory of Sufism is that man is incomplete, part-animalistic and partspirit. The rituals of Sufi practice are devoted to making the seeker “pure”, becoming essentially “one” with the Infinite. That is Right-Hand Path thought, unity with an imagined “God” or governing force. Luciferians agree that man and woman in the initiated state are incomplete, often ruled by animalistic urges with a weakened will and little discipline to guide with the mind or spiritual nature. Luciferians seek a balance and “Infernal Union” between flesh and spirit to ignite our path to self-excellence. We reject “oneness” with the delusions of monotheistic creating tyrants and their priests. This is a hard path, full of struggle and challenges: Left-Hand Path creates Gods and Goddesses who are aware of their complete ability to shape their life. In summary, if the technique can be applied from our philosophical approach, use it!
