My brothers and sisters in Surah Al-Araf, as we heard in the previous episode, Allah Subhanahu

wa Ta'ala addresses us all by calling us Ya Bani Adam, O Children of Adam.

And we went through the first instruction where Allah told us to dress appropriately, he

has sent for us clothing in order for us to cover, not in order for us to reveal.

And he wants us to dress with the clothing of piety, both in terms of what we cover ourselves

with as well as our general character, conduct and the way we carry ourselves.

Today I'd like to look at another instruction a few more where Allah says Ya Bani Adamah.

So in verse number 26 of Surah Al-Araf, Allah addresses us for the first time.

Then in 27 again he says Ya Bani Adamala ya Fati'nanakumushayitanukamaachrajabawai

Ya Ziyu'anhu Maalibasahuma Liyuriya Humasau'atiheema

Allahu Akbar Allah says O Children of Adam, don't ever let shaytan test you or abuse

you or overcome you in a way.

In any way make sure that you don't let shaytan trap you with his traps because he has removed

your forefathers from Jannah.

He took your forefathers out of paradise meaning he took Adam and Eve.

Adam and Hawa may peace be upon them.

Allah says Shaytan trapped them, be careful.

Go and read about that, go and find out what shaytan did.

Shaytan promised them two things.

Shaytan said if you disobey Allah you're going to live forever and you will own everything.

Both of those were just a lie.
