Shaytan Question

[Scorpian]

I was reading my Quran earlier and it said that Satan made intoxicants gamling etc
Surah 5 Al Ma`idah 276
90
"O ye who believe
intoxicants and gambling
Dedication of stones
And divination by arrows
are an abomination
of Satan`s handiwork;
eschew such
that ye may prosper"

91
"Satans plan is (but)
to excite enmity and hatred
between you,with intoxicants
and gambling and hinder you
from remembrance
of allah and from prayer
will ye not then abstain?"

So if allah created all things how come satan created the above?

Cheers

They don't say that shaytan created these things but rather that he has and will use them to misguide us.

[Zafran]

Satan didnt create the above - he uses them to make people go astray and making people forget about Allahs swt.

Satan is like an advertiser for sin.

Greetings Scorp,

It is Satan's handiwork to tempt people to do these things.

Have a read of this link: http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/13308/handiwork

Hence the Shaytaan declared his evil and his enmity towards the children of Adam, so he started to make sin attractive to them and to tempt them with haraam and evil things, and to enjoin evil and immoral actions upon them. Thus most of the people were deceived by him and they fell into those sins and haraam things

Hope that helps a little bit.

Peace.

Satan is enemy of people and make them away from ALLAH. Satan has created nothing but the Satan is created by ALLAH. He is in the punishment from ALLAH till the Day of Judgment. ALLAH wanted us to be save from Satan tricks.
