SATAN: THE TRENDSETTER OF HISTORY

Blame Culture

ACCORDING to the story of creation given in the Quran, Satan disobeyed God’s command and was thus punished by Him. In this case, Satan was clearly wrong but he put the blame on God Almighty. He said: “O my Lord, because you have put me in the wrong I will make the path of error seem alluring to them on earth and shall mislead them all.” (15: 39)

According to this Quranic verse, Satan was wrong but he tried to lay the blame on the Creator for his wrongdoing. Moreover, he said that he would mislead the whole of humanity and that everyone would follow his path. It is very strange that the whole of human history became a victim of this satanic design with only some exceptions that remained.


The blame culture is undoubtedly a satanic culture. It is very strange that Satan misled almost all humankind including many Muslims who claim to be followers of the Quran.

Present day Muslims are no exception. Almost all the Muslim leaders and spokespersons have adopted the same culture. During the colonial period, these Muslim leaders tried blaming the colonial powers for all their backwardness in the modern age. This was the culture during the first half of the twentieth century. Since the second half of the twentieth century onwards and to this day, almost all Muslims’ spokespersons are engaged in blaming others for Muslim problems: some are blaming America, while others are blaming Israel, the Hindus and others. ‘Blame others’ is a culture so widespread among Muslims that it is difficult to find an exception in this regard.

This culture is undoubtedly a satanic culture. It is very strange that Satan misled almost all humankind including those Muslims who claim to be followers of the Quran.
