(2004). Enochic Judaism. London: TT Clark International. p. 2.) gave Satan an expanded role, interpreting Isaiah 14:12-15, with its reference to the morning star, as applicable to him, and presenting him as a fallen angel cast out of heaven (Berlin, Adele, ed. (2011); The Oxford Dictionary of the Jewish Religion. Oxford University Press. p. 651.) for refusing, according to Jewish writings, to bow to Adam, of whom Satan was envious and jealous of the power over the earth granted to Adam. (David L. Jeffrey, A Dictionary of Biblical Tradition in English Literature (Eerdmans 1992), p. 15; Tony Kessinger, The Devil Is in the Details (CrossBooks 2010), pp. 32-35; Michael J. McClymond, Gerald R. McDermott, The Theology of Jonathan Edwards WWW.KINDFATHER.COM Page 6 (Oxford University Press 2012), p. 276.) Christian writers explained the motives of the angel's rebellion and the nature of his sin in the same way, but added pride against God, which they mention more frequently than envy or jealousy with regard to humanity. (Cain, Andrew (2011). The fathers of the church. Jerome. Commentary on Galatians. Washington, D.C.: CUA Press. p. 74; Hoffmann, Tobias, ed. (2012). A Companion to Angels in Medieval Philosophy. Leiden: BRILL. p. 262; (Italian) Nicolas (de Dijon) (1730). Prediche Quaresimali: Divise In Due Tomi, Volume 2. Storti. p. 230)” (As cited in the English Wikipedia) “* [1 enoch and 2 enoch are books ascribed to the Prophet Enoch (who is perhaps the Prophet known as Idris in Islam) which are not part of most current jewish and christian biblical canons. It is noteworthy to mention that we do not claim that these books, as presented today, are undistorted, rather we only say that they do contain some information regarding certain undeniable facts.]” It is also noteworthy to mention that still this current bible, with all its omissions, additions and distortions, implicitly mentions the prostration event; the following is a quotation from Dr. McElwain from his book “Islam in the Bible”: “(Hebrews 1:6) is from a non-Biblical Jewish tradition which also appears in the Qur'an: `And let all the angels of God worship him.' The personage primarily referred to in the original tradition is Adam, to whom the angels are commanded to prostrate. The word `worship' in Hebrews refers to prostration before a high personage such as a king.” In addition, we are going to present a paragraph from Book of Adam, Jewish Encyclopedia, by Louis Ginzberg: “… Satan hated Adam, for he regarded him as the cause of his fall. After God had created man, He ordered all the angels to prostrate themselves before Adam, but Satan rebelled against God's command, despite the direct bidding of Michael "to worship the image of YHW" (), and answered proudly: "If God be angry against me, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God" (compare Isa. xiv. 13). Whereupon God "cast him out from heaven with all his host of rebellious angels" (Slavonic Book of Enoch, xxxi. 18, and Mek., Shirah, § 2) …” WWW.KINDFATHER.COM Page 7 A major problem within such writings is the point that they consider Satan as an angel … the Qur’an and pure teachings of the Prophet Mohammad and the Infallible AhlulBayt (SBUT) as usual have corrected distortions which have occurred after the Previous Prophets of Allah (SBUT). The jinns and the angels are two different phenomena; the former has been created from fire and is considered from the Sofla (lower) Malakoot and the latter from light and is considered of the ‘Oliya (higher) Malakoot … Another major distortion is the issue of considering man as an image of God; in this regard we refer readers to “Repudiation of Philosophical and Irfani (Mystical) Fundamentals in Imam Riza (Salaam Be Upon Him)’s Monotheistic Teachings” Last part (7), in this site: kindfather.com; also as another chapter of this E-book.
