"The Nocturnal Voice"
Sahib Iblis, 9 Sept. 2024
The Nocturnal Voice, which is referred to as the hatif within Arabic folklore, "is a mysterious nocturnal voice that is sometimes prophetic. A hatif is mentioned in the Bible [Ezekiel 21:2 and 7; Amos 7:16] as a prophet's voice, and it seems to have presaged Muhammad's prophetic mission. It is said that the hatif can rise from within a calf sacrificed to an idol or from the idol itself. The Bedouin believe that it most often announces the death of some prominent figure."
The above quoted text is from the Britannica.com entry.
It is possible, under the Obdurate View of Iblis in his motives, Iblis makes use of the Nocturnal Voice when he clothes himself in the garb of the divine and presents a far harsher face of God to humanity, so as to cow mankind.
In all three views of Iblis in his motives, it may also be that Iblis employs the Nocturnal Voice when he conceals himself in the mouth of the serpent, penetrates Eden, and then sets about provoking the exile of Adam and Eve.
