Of men and jinn
The Shaitans who whisper into the hearts of men.
Devils taken as gods from among the Jinn.
Inciting humans to loss and sin.
Deceiving men to an evil end.
God says he will fill the bounds of Hell,
With disbelieving men and evil Jinn.
You think we are the only ones,
Meant to descend.
Tricks and wicks they wish,
Worshiping Jinn and attributing partners therein.
Casting lots and blowing on knots.
Slitting the ears of cattle, sorcery rattles.
Preventing the Jinn from murmuring within,
Is a campaign we must all win.
Remember He who forgives all sin,
And in the next life, we win.
