In Islam, the Devil is known as ʾIblīs (Arabic: إبليس, plural: ابالسة ʾAbālisa) or Shayṭān (Arabic: شيطان, plural: شياطين Shayāṭīn). According to the Quran, God created Iblis out of "smokeless fire or from the pure flame of fire" (along with all of the other jinn) and created man out of clay. The primary characteristic of the Devil, besides hubris, is that he has no power other than the power to cast evil suggestions into the heart of men, women, and jinn, although the Quran does mention appointing jinn to assist those who are far from God in a general context. "We made the Shayatin (devils) ʾAwliyāʾ (protectors and helpers) for those who believe not." (سورة الأعراف al-ʾAʿraf, Chapter #7, Verse #27)
Muslims traditionally derived the name from the Arabic verbal root balasa بَلَسَ, meaning "he despaired"; therefore, the meaning of ʾIblīs would be "he/it that causes despair".
In popular Islamic culture, "Shaytan" (Arabic: شيطان, from Hebrew: שָׂטָן, whence "Satan") is often simply translated as "The Devil," but the term can refer to any of the beings who rebelled against God.
The Devil (from Greek: διάβολος or diábolos = 'slanderer' or 'accuser') is believed in many religions and cultures to be a powerful, supernatural entity that is the personification of evil and the enemy of God and humankind. The nature of the role varies greatly. It ranges from being an effective opposite force to the creator god at one extreme, where both are locked in an eons long holy war for human souls on what may seem even terms (to the point of dualistic ditheism/bitheism), to being just a comical figure of fun or even an abstract aspect of the individual human condition at the other.
Whilst mainstream Judaism contains no overt concept of a devil, Christianity and Islam have variously regarded the Devil as a rebellious fallen angel or demon that tempts humans to sin, if not commit evil deeds himself. In these religions – particularly during periods of division or external threat – the Devil has assumed more of a dualistic status commonly associated with heretics, infidels, and other unbelievers. As such, the Devil is seen as an allegory that represents a crisis of faith, individualism, free will, wisdom and enlightenment.
Islam (English /ˈɪzlɑːm/;Arabic: الإسلام al-ʾislām IPA: [ʔɪsˈlæːm] ( listen)) is a monotheistic and Abrahamic religion articulated by the Qur'an, a text considered by its adherents to be the verbatim word of God (Arabic: الله Allāh), and by the teachings and normative example (called the Sunnah and composed of Hadith) of Muhammad, considered by them to be the last prophet of God. An adherent of Islam is called a Muslim.
Muslims believe that God is one and incomparable and the purpose of existence is to love and serve God. Muslims also believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that was revealed at many times and places before, including through Abraham, Moses and Jesus, whom they consider prophets. They maintain that previous messages and revelations have been partially changed or corrupted over time, but consider the Qur'an to be both the unaltered and the final revelation of God. Religious concepts and practices include the five pillars of Islam, which are basic concepts and obligatory acts of worship, and following Islamic law, which touches on virtually every aspect of life and society, providing guidance on multifarious topics from banking and welfare, to warfare and the environment.
Yusuf Estes (born in 1944) is an American Muslim preacher and teacher who converted from Christianity to Islam in 1991. He was a Muslim Chaplain for the United States Bureau of Prisons through the 1990s. He was a Muslim Delegate to the United Nations World Peace Conference for Religious Leaders held at the U.N. in September 2000.
Active in Islamic missionary work in the United States, Estes is often featured as guest presenter and keynote speaker at various Islamic events as well as frequently appearing on various Islamic satellite TV channels. Estes takes a dim view of today's public school system in the United States for any children, and highly recommends schools where they might receive a religious education combined with more advanced scholastic education.
Yusuf Estes was born in Ohio, and was raised in Houston, Texas in a Anglo-Saxon Protestant family. From 1962 to 1990, his career was in the music, entertainment and marketing fields. He also taught music and served as a music minister. He owned several musical instrument companies including the Estes Piano and Organ Company. He produced and directed live entertainment programs in the United States from the mid 1960s until his last endeavor for cable TV in Florida, entitled 'Estes Music Jamboree'.
Get ready for the lady
She's gonna be a treat
Simmer slightly 'til ready
Make her soft too
Make her sweet
I kiss the tears off from your chest
I felt the poison fright that's in your breath
I knew your precious life and I know your death
I squeeze the love out of your soul
All the perfect love that's in your soul
You're just another spirit on parole
Devil's food
Devil's food
Devil's food
[Verse 1:]
Yo I'm losing my mind, spinning out of control
People think that I'm an animal as far as it go
Used to be the fucking star of the show
20, 000 getting crazier the harder we go
With my partner Peter Parker I was jumping like a trampoline
Web spinning Spiderman swinging from the scaffolding
Ain't no feeling like stage diving
Jumping over barricades, Mad human hurricane
Beats by Viking, go? lightning
Life's so frightening, there's no rewriting it
And I'm insane and my name's Shane
And I like pills and doing cocaine
Shane found new friends and filled this anguish
Shane gotta find another way to deal with pain
Shane gotta find another way to deal with shame
Shane gotta find another way to deal with Shane
[Chorus:]
Crowd surfing, stage diving
Life's perfect, keep driving
Sick serpents in my service
Keep feeding until I'm worthless
Now I'm nervous, hand shaking
Sense fakeness, my heart's breaking
Tense? can't take it
It's too late, you met Satan
You make friends with the Devil
You have fun with the Devil
You make vows with the Devil
Now who you think gonna win?
You make love to the Devil
You have fun with the Devil
You win fights with the Devil
You get right with the Devil
Now who you think gonna win?
[Verse 2:]
Hey yo mic like a megaphone, live from the danger zone
Overdrive saber-tooth tiger writing crazy poems
Plated chrome sure 57 no quarts
Sky dive into court, recording then winning award
Man overboard, the water is cold and filled with predators
Cloud casting over my team just like a Senator
Competitors I'm chopping up their heads like some lettuces
Iceberg words Judge Dredd death sentences
Partner is a venomous Dennis the Menace
Nemesis running for shelter, Sharon Tate, Helter Skelter
Delta force airfoce four course live show?
Bring your appetite cause we can feed you till you're full
Pull people from the floor to the stage beside us
Once a spectator now a top rated stage diver
On a combat cause a highly trained cage fighter
Spasefase Silver Surfer Peter Parker black spider yeah
[Chorus:]
Crowd surfing, freestyling
Loud music, keep driving
Short circuit, we overworked it
Keep speeding, the road is perfect
Now I'm swerving, hands shaking
Sense danger, my heart's racing
Engine breaking, I can't take it
It's too late, you met Satan
You make friends with the Devil
You have fun with the Devil
You make vows with the Devil
Now who you think gonna win?
You make love to the Devil
You have fun with the Devil
You win fights with the Devil
You get right with the Devil
Now who you think gonna win?
[Verse 3:]
I can hear the crowd screaming, green eyes gleaming
Staring at the corner at a winged horned demon
He look angry, energy is gnarly
Smoke coming out of his nose he start snarling
Everything was peace Bob Marley
He's on his sixteen can, hops and barley
Cops make it quite clear they don't like him
Try to install fear, I'm not frightened
That's a bad look, the wrong angle
My ego's outta control, you'll get mangled
That's the trap that you wants me in
Ever dance with the devil baby? Oh no
Make my day
Do you feel lucky? Oh no
Tomorrow's another day
Can you walk on water maybe? Oh no
Turn water into wine?
Can I buy you a drink there lady? Oh no
Can you tell me another lie?
So be my Devil Angel
Be my shooting star
Be my Devil Angel
Be my shooting star
Have I seen you somewhere baby? Oh no
I need another line
Are you living the dream there lady? Oh no
Can I tell you what's inside?
So be my Devil Angel
Be my shooting star
Be my Devil Angel
Be my shooting star
Stop the car there baby! Oh no
You can't handle the truth
So what's the point then lady? Oh no
If ya can't stand to play and lose
So be my Devil Angel
Be my shooting star
So be my Devil Angel
Be my shooting star
Be my Devil Angel
Be my shooting star
Be my Devil Angel
Be my shooting star
Bye bye Angel
She sits alone again and tries her best
Not to pretend that all she use to live for was a love that was unfair
Everytime she needs to do the things that she believes will fill the void inside of her cause he was never there
She said i swear im not the devil although you think i am
I swear im not the devil
He tries to sleep again
And he wonders when the pain will end
The cuts, they may run deeper than his cracking outer shell
He looks with tired eyes
At all the people hypnotized
And wonders what can save him
From his self created hell.
And he said i swear im not the devil although you think i am
I swear im not the devil
I always fail to see the little things in front of me
The things that mean so much to you
A way to let you know
That i appreciate the way you always tolerate
But sometimes when i medicate
Frustration in you shows me how you feel
But i swear im not the devil although you think i am
I swear im not the devil
And i scream i swear im not the devil although you think i am
If you turn your back to your own flesh
You got a piece of me
You are so young, so reach
But I saw you that mirror
Right between your feet
For world swirl around you
But I could never find you
De de de de DEVIL!!!!!!
Never mind the way you are
?eackers? of land
I saw you loss young girls
And every single one you could lay your hands on
For world swing around you
But could never find you
another awkward moment passes
catering to questions asked by you
i do believe i've told you what you want to hear
it's so easy to recite
the lines and lies i've memorized
from this pedestal pushed through the sky
i'm laughing in your face
i hate who i am
and all that i've become
so many sleepless nights have found me
wandering comfortless streets
in search of peace, any release
from who i'm have become
and i'm sure you don't want to know
that i hate the role
i'm old and cold
an ugly sore a gaping hole
God have mercy on my soul
well, i guess i've disappointed you
what did you expect?
the hero is a wretch
a devil in the flesh
are you disenchanted by the idols humanness?
do you still think we connect?
If the sun vaporized one day
And the moon just faded away
Would we still, keep going on
At this pit of the mining pace.
Should the birds fall to the ground
And the fish die of thirst
Would we still keep on living
The way it's always been.
Now if the air could burn my lungs
And the earth were only rocks
Would it make us stop and realize
That we rot, that we can't go on like this.
Devil, oh, devil.
Why don't you tell me why
I'm a slave in these desperate times.
In this time that we could almost choose
The color of our children's eyes.
Can we still, keep going on living
When the monster turns on us
Before the sun doesn't rise one day, huh
And the moon just dies away.
There is one thing (what?)
One thing what, uh
That we'll never change
Is that we're only learning to survive.
Devil, oh, devil.
Why don't you tell me why
I'm a slave in these desperate times.
If the sun vaporized one day
And the moon just faded away
Would we still, keep going on
At this pit of the mining pace.
Should the birds fall to the ground
And the fish die of thirst
And the earth were only rocks
Would we still keep on living
The way it's always been.
Now if the air could burn my lungs
And the earth were only rocks
Would it make us stop and realize
That we can't go on
Like this.
Devil, oh, devil.
Why don't you tell me why
So if you have to think about it?
Just think about it real slow
We're on a mission for the devil,
Even if it breaks some bones
It's blue and red as far as I can see
I know you're going to find that devil
But you'll need some company
Happy are we, in our own world
Happy are we, bare bones my girl
So if I never talk about it?
Just talk about it real slow
We're still trying to find that devil
I think I'm getting close
Yeah, it's blue and red as far as I can see
I know you're going to find that devil
But you'll need some company
Just take it away
Happy are we, in our own world
Happy are we, bare bones my girl
We were just sitting there, stoned, watching the waves
Where they'll bury my bones
You were smiling, ear to ear, saying oh baby let's just go
Live and run, that's what I'm good at
Live and run, that's what I do when my words bleed out again
Happy are we, in our own world
Knocking on my door was an evil silhouette
Knocking this morning a black silhouette
Knocking on my door was an evil silhouette
And his eyes were glowing like two lit cigarettes
Me and the devil were standing side by side
I looked in the mirror into my own eyes
Me and the devil were standing side by side
He held out his claws and I began to rise
I got me and the devil blues
Me and the devil blues
"I know you know it’s time to go"
I got me and the devil blues
Me and the devil blues
Me and the devil blues
"I know you know it’s time to go"
I got me and the devil blues
"About every week I come ringing for the dead
I pile ‘em up high - feets and heads
I squash ‘em in tight
I shout my call :
I’ll take your little dead boy
I’ll take your little dead girl
About every week I come ringing for the dead
I pile ‘em up high - feets and heads
I squash ‘em in tight
I shout my call :
I’ll take your little dead boy
I’ll take your little dead girl
I don’t mind"
You may bury my body in a supermarket aisle
Bury my body in the fresh meat aisle
You may bury my body in a supermarket aisle
And I will rise again like an exocet missile
I got me and the devil blues
Me and the devil blues
"I know you know it’s time to go"
I got me and the devil blues
Me and the devil blues
Me and the devil blues
"I know you know it’s time to go"
sick i've lit the bridge on fire exposed the nerves will twitch
feed the needy x desire poke it with a stick
i need assertion devils in my eye won't let up any motion
i need a surgeon devils inside won't cut me any slack
who cares about you/i thought i did
who cares about you
fingers twitch and blisters stalk her removes itself from it
dream the greedy motivators sleep it off again
i need assertion devils in my eye won't let up any motion
i need a surgeon devils inside won't cut me any slack
distant wreaths surreal retired in bed forever sleeps
secrets feed the next desire
Morning light on the ground
You're lost hoping to be found
A pretty storm in between
A big plan and an iron will
But, no you're never going anywhere with me
Summer lies in the ground
See their faces as they gather round
Crying out in anger and shame
A life spent waiting all in vain
Look what they did to the glow of the sun
And look what they've done to the city when you were
gone
You know you're never going anywhere
You know you're never going anywhere
You know you're never going anywhere with me
Such a sad song
The love you had is gone
The story has been told a million times
And they're all wrong,
If you could prove them wrong
They wouldn't act so proud
Like you said: "You get what you deserve,
Well I must have been a devil,
'cause look what they did to the glow of the sun
And look what they've done to the city when you were
gone…
You know I'm never going anywhere
You know I'm never going anywhere
You know I'm never going anywhere without you…"
You know I'm never going anywhere
You know I'm never going anywhere
You know I'm never going anywhere
Last night I fucked your girlfriend
I tore your whole world down
Give it to me come on give it to me I want everything
Tonight I wanna be bad I wanna be bad I wanna burn that
devil out.
Chorus:
Come on take a ride
The devil by your side and show him how to do it right
We're running it out of time so give up on the lies
And head out to the city lights
I just don't care what you think about me anymore
The way of self destruction
I got it all figured out
Give it to me come on give it to me I'll take anything
Tonight I wanna be bad I wanna be bad I wanna burn that
devil out.
Chorus:
Come on take a ride
The devil by your side and show him how to do it right
We're running it out of time so give up on the lies
And head out to the city lights
I just don't care no I just don't care what you think
about me anymore
I don't care about anything anymore
Chorus:
Come on take a ride
The devil by your side and show him how to do it right
We're running it out of time so give up on the lies
And head out to the city lights
I just don't care what you think about me anymore
I don't care about anything
How many times you've been calling me?
so look behind you're loving me
I notice this in your eyes that you talk as she
I gotta get you out of my brain
But your words in love with me
But you feel in love with the game
How many times I'm gonna let you in
But I know, I know, I know I don't think he's gonna change.
Chorus:
'Cause you're my, you're my, you're my, you're my devil
I'm tryin' to stay away but I don't want to
They all got me on in your fire
you're burning through my heart but it don't matter
'cause you're my, you're my, you're my, you'er my devil,
I'm tryin' to stay away but I don't want to
'cause I want to and I need you.
And I need you,
you're my devil, you're my devil.
Devil devil devil devil devil devil devil devil
Devil devil devil devil devil devil devil devil.
I gotta detox you out of my mind,
it has to come to an end,
don't wanna come suffer maybe let you go,
the gravity pulls me in,
You took my body so good and enough to a decade,
and your swag on a thousand and my brain still..
how many times I'm gonna let you in
but I know, I know, I know, I don't think he's gonna change.
Chorus:
'Cause you're my, you're my, you're my, you're my devil
I'm tryin' to stay away but I don't want to
They all got me on in your fire
you're burning through my heart but it don't matter
'cause you're my, you're my, you're my, you'er my devil,
I'm tryin' to stay away but I don't want to
'cause I want to and I need you.
And I need you,
you're my devil, you're my devil.
Smile away, I need you with me
I lost my way
I need you with me.
It hurts like hell but I'll always keep coming back
[Chorus:]
Devil devil devil devil devil devil devil devil
