Writing 101, Day Fourteen: To Whom It May Concern

Today’s Prompt: Pick up the nearest book and flip to page 29. What’s the first word that jumps off the page? Use this word as your springboard for inspiration. If you need a boost, Google the word and see what images appear, and then go from there.

Today’s twist: write the post in the form of a letter.

 

Today’s prompt was very funny. There were 4 books on my computer desk, grammar book, a book of Qur’an classification, Islamic book and my notebook. I chose Islamic book, and I got the word “Satan.”  😀

It was the first time I wrote a letter to Satan. LOL! The first and the last!

To: Satan (The Clear Enemy For The Mankind)

I seek refuge in Allah from Satan the accursed one.

I will not say Salam (greeting) to you. I only wanted to say, YOU ARE MY ENEMY, in this life.

Allah has explained about you in Qur’an clearly;

And thus We have made for every prophet an enemy – devils from mankind and jinn, inspiring to one another decorative speech in delusion. But, if your Lord had willed, they would not have done it, so leave them and that which they invent. [Al-An’am:112]

And Satan will say when the matter has been concluded, “Indeed, Allah had promised you the promise of truth. And I promised you, but I betrayed you. But, I had no authority over you except that I invited you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me; but blame yourselves. I cannot be called to my aid. Indeed, I deny your association of me [with Allah] before. Indeed, for the wrongdoers is a painful punishment. [Ibrahim:22]

Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan- [for] indeed, he is to you a clear enemy. [Ya-Sin: 60]

My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the incitements of the devils,

And I seek refuge in You, my Lord, lest they be present with me! (Al-Mu’minun:97-98)

 

Sorry, Satan! I don’t have much time to write this letter to you!

 

Servant of Allah.
