Buku ini amat sesuai dibaca bagi menambah ilmu tentang tipu daya iblis/syaitan ke atas manusia supaya ingkar dari beribadat kepada Allah sbt dan seronok dengan keduniaan
It is from the enmity and hopelessness of the devil that is mission to deviate mankind from the straight path will persist. This misguidance takes many insidious forms. No one is immune from his influence.
Imam ibn Al-Jawzi (RA) has produced this work in order to warn against his plan so that we can fortify our guard. Strong rebuttals included.
Ignorance, oppression, disobedience and confusion have permeated mankind and have run rampant. The Imam (critical and harsh in his speech at various times) begins the following 4 chapters with abundant hadith then talks about the Devil鈥檚 Deception on various groups including: - The Jews - The Christians - The idol worshippers - The scholars - The ascetics - The sufis - The laypeople - The wealthy - The women - The governors and etc.
This is a MUST READ for anyone who wants to affirm and protect goodness and righteousness and understand the insidious way in which the devil operates. The persistence of the devil and his goals are terrifying. It is only through reading this book that we can understand and avert his evil.
Disclaimer: I'll not write or 'review' the teachings or concepts because my knowledge is no where even close to basic beginners.
This is an enlightening read. A good compilation of tricks of devil which every person most be cognizant of to remain cautious and on guard.
It is an excellent motivator to gain further knowledge even and especially of basic fundamentals which we practice. Most of what we practice is what we have learned seeing others around or are taught. There is negligible effort of individuals to learn the true teachings and decide for themselves had they been the followers of religion or some cult, value of the culture.
To err is human. And devil has promised to misguide all. Prophets or saints were no exception. Common individual must know the way back, that can only be known when they are aware how they've been deceived in the first place.
The original books was written in mid 500s. However I believe newer versions must include the concept of sin, human nature, fallibility of humans... or perhaps find a new book and keep the chain of learning going.
I found this book to be an eye-opener. Enlightening as it is, it has information that I'd previously known but in far greater detail. It's scary how intricate and elaborative the workings of the devil are in deceiving us, humans. A reminder for all to strengthen ourselves in faith and a must-read for those seeking to avoid falling into the traps set by the devil.
a translation (with commentary in footnotes - a feature i found really interesting) of a part of the original 'talbees iblees' (the devil's deceptions) by ibn al jawzi. it describes in great detail how the devil (iblees/satan/shaitaan) operates amongst human beings and diverts them from the straight path. this book not only describes the devices of iblees in vivid detail, it is also a gold mine of interesting historical facts which have shaped our world as we know it today (for example: we find out about facts about the origin of the word 'assassin', to the origins of some of the various "islamic" sects found within the indian subcontinent itself). would recommend highly if you're interested in the history of islam and how to not fall into the trap of the shaitaan - and want to read about both these things in one read, and preferably one sitting! (though i read it in about four, lol)
Most amazing writings of Ibn Al Jawzi. Shaytan deceive humankind with patience and endurance. Sometimes the Shaytan uses good looking tricks to attract people. Even call the people to Makruh to keep oneself away from Sunnah. In this book the author accumulated all the deceiving tricks of Shaytan. To make this book useful, Shykh brought some of the example of Salaf. A must read book for every Muslim.
This is translation of the main book " Talbees Iblees " by Ibn Jawzi.this book shows us how satan shows people the path of deviation and allures people to create various sects.
By the way this book contains some very interesting debates especially the one of Ibn Abbas.
A very precise and super engaging book, yet so informative. I've been studying the era of uthman r.a (in history of islam) and there occured so many incidents which helped clear out and get into the depth of this book. The thing is that, when Prophet (peace and blessings be upon Him) talks about sects in the numbers of 70s, it doesn't seep down until you get into the depth of it. The scary transition of generations, and how devil can turn a human being into such a pathetic existence that you personify God, objectify the pious companions and make prohibition entitled to a mere pleasure enticement.
The moment of "new fear unlocked", was when i studied about kharijites. I'm like, the description of hypocrites, the types of hypocrites.. the hardened heart, the blind eyes.... And, the buzz of bees? The recitation of quran so loud, organised and beautiful? The judgement only belongs to Allah? The staunch character of defending quran and standing upright to Allah's words? Yet, being the most stupidest of all, That you cut open a mother womb? I've come across it and fear the horrors of illiteracy in practicing my religion, the illiteracy of practicing yes! The knowledge of right and wrong, the surface level implementation of an ayah and failing at the responsibility of taking care of my religion. The responsibility of the image of my religion, which can get corrupt with a mere stubbornness of raising my finger with an intellectual judgement towards things and not the patient self of a serene minded human. I love the gentleman of my religion, the character of Alee, of umer (radhiallahu anhuma),the essence of fearlessness, the rationality in their lives, the way of dealing with skeptical beings... there's no end! Ah! And the flow of this book!
Buku ini membahas tentang segala tipu daya, godaan, perangkap syetan kepada semua manusia. Jika membaca buku ini, akan terlintas di pikiran bahwa hampir semuanya tidak bisa lepas dari perangkap syetan. Semua jenis manusia digoda oleh syetan, termasuk ulama, pemimpin, ahli ibadah, orang yang zuhud, sufi, apalagi orang awwam seperti kita.
Ibnul Jauzy rahimahullah membahas tema iblis dan mewaspadai talbis iblis, termasuk menjelaskan tentang beberapa jenis keturunan iblis. Setelah itu beliau membahas tentang talbis yang dilancarkan iblis yang berkaitan dengan aqidah. Kemudian beliau menjelaskan berbagai macam talbis iblis yang dilancarkan iblis kepada berbagai jenis manusia. Ya, banyak sekali talbis, perangkap yang dilancarkan, dan bahasan tersebut adalah bahasan yang terpanjang di buku ini, sayangnya beliau hanya menjelaskan, meriwayatkan, dan menceritakan tentang talbis tersebut, beliau tidak memberikan solusi untuk mencegah&mengatasi talbis iblis tersebut. Jika di setiap penjelasan talbis iblis kepada suatu jenis manusia juga diberikan solusi pencegahan&mengatasinya, atau minimal menjelaskan secara umum solusi pencegahan&mengetasi talbis dengan membuat satu bab khusus di akhir buku, maka ini akan menjadi buku yang sangat bagus.
