Prophet Muhammad (pbuh&h) ascended in the night of 17 ramazan. (Miraj Night).
The next morning, “Iblis” came to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh&h) and said:
O! Messenger of Allah
When you ascended into the sky last night, was there a pulpit which was fallen broken and burnt in the fourth sky, on the left side(Al-Bait-al-Ma’mur)
? Did you know that and could you recognize whose is it?
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh&h) asked,” Whose was it?”
Iblis answered, “it was mine!”
I used to sit on the top of it with the angles along with that. Then gave speeches to angles about how one could be good servants of God.
The angels were surprised of my worship and servitude!
Whenever my prayer beads fell, several thousand angels would get up, kiss it and gave it to me.
I believed that “Allah hadn’t created any creature better than me” but suddenly I got I was wrong.
Do we know ourselves better than other people?
Worshiping doesn’t mean to feel as a servent!
