Tafsir of Matthew 4:1-11 - Hazoor al-Maseeh's defeat of Iblis

Injeel for Muslims

Today's episode is about how Hazoor al-Maseeh defeated Iblis before He began His public ministry. This story is told in Matthew 4:1-11.
"Then Hazoor Isa (AM) was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by Iblis. After he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. Then the tempter approached him and said, “If you are ibn-e-Allah, tell these stones to become bread.” He answered, “It is written: Man must not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”` Then Iblis took him to the holy city, had him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are Ibn-e-Allah, throw yourself down. For it is written:
He will give his angels orders concerning you,
and they will support you with their hands
so that you will not strike
your foot against a stone.”

Hazoor Isa (AM) told him, “It is also written: Do not test the Lord your God.”

Again, Iblis took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 And he said to him, “I will give you all these things if you will fall down and worship me.”

Then Hazoor Isa (AM) told him, “Go away, Shaytan! For it is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.”

Then Iblis left him, and angels came and began to serve him."
We also see in this passage that Hazoor al-Maseeh gave the greatest fast. He fasted not merely for thirty days but forty. He fasted not only during the days but at night as well. His fast was guided directly by the Holy Spirit. And the result of this fast was that Hazoor al-Maseeh defeated Shaytan.
