Iblees Ki Majlis-e-Shura

His five advisers then discuss certain threats they conceive to the Devil's plans, which were explained as various aspects of the Western society such as capitalism, the rise of democracy and on the other hand socialism.

Detailed Summary: The poem begins with Iblis boasting about his role in inspiring imperialism in Europe and instilling the pursuit of capitalism in the wealthy, while teaching the destitute to believe in destiny.

The third advisor raises concerns about a certain "Jew" (possibly a reference to Karl Marx or socialist/communist ideology) who possesses a penetrating vision and threatens the established order.

Iblis advises keeping the Islamic law hidden from the world and ensuring that believers remain entangled in metaphysical debates and interpretations of religious texts.

(Sareer ul Hassan) The poem has been translated to English by Abdussalam Puthige titled The Devil’s Advisory Council: Iblees ki Majlis-e-Shoora[2]
