One of the amazing parts of the Quran is the inclusion of stories, narratives.

You know, we all know the power of stories because people's memories are often times embedded in the context of a story.

You think about these like great memories from your life or even tough ones, and there's oftentimes if you zoom out, there's a, there's a tale that it lies within.

Allah's power and Tata utilizes this, of of course, perfectly in his infinite, perfect wisdom.

In the Quran numerous times, full of stories.

Today we want to talk about one of the stories, which is you can talk about

existentially foundational, right?

It's not one that comes later, but it's actually one from the arguably our very beginning. Yeah, Genesis exactly, which is the story and the narrative of how

Iblis became shaitan and what that entire experience, how it unfolded, what it was like. And we're talking specifically today

from Sotad Aarov, which-

What's interesting is that that story

is mentioned multiple places in the Quran.

Bahara as well as referenced, yeah.

So many places, hijad, et cetera.

It's referenced in a lot of places, Taha,

but the place in Auraaf is the place that probably

delves into like the actual pathology of Shaitan the most. Yeah, that's like how it unfolded.

That's right. Because like the Bacara passage, the emphasis is on Adam alexana.

Yes.

But the passage in Aura of, the emphasis and the analysis is of Shaitan.

Yeah.

That's so fascinating.
