Assalamualekum all brothers and sisters.
I need understanding on this topic from especially scholars who can provide sufficient evidence on the argument:
“Can iblis deceive just souls or just human or both in any form?”
As its per in, surah A'raf, two verses have been interpreted as speaking of this realm: "And [remember] when your Lord took from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their descendants and made them bear witness over themselves, [He said to them,] "Am I not your Lord?" They said," Yes indeed! We bear witness." [This,] lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection,"
(7:173)Nor say, ‘It was our forefathers who had associated others ˹with Allah in worship˺ and we, as their descendants, followed in their footsteps. Will you then destroy us for the falsehood they invented?’”
This question brings me into, how was it decided that we are born into a family who arent Muslims(Shia or Sunni), Christian, Jew, Hindu or any other?
