Who are the heirs of Iblees? Just as the Ambiya Alaihimus Salaam have heirs, so too does Shaitaan have his heirs. The Heirs of the Ambiyaa Alaihimus Salaam according to the Hadith are the Ulama – the Ulama-e-Haqq – those who are Ulama in the of the Qur’aan which states:
“Verily, only Ulama of His servants fear Allah.”
Surah 35 : Faatir, Verse 28
Explaining who the heirs of Iblees are, Hadhrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (Rahmatullahi ‘Alayh) said:
“The main concern of molvis is that their status (shaan) should not be demoted. This attitude is the meerath (inheritance) of Iblees. Allah Ta’alaa did not respond to the shenanigan of Iblees (i.e. when justified his refusal to make Sajdah for Hadhrat Aadam – alayhis salaam) because He was aware that shaitaan would not be able to understand the (logical) response. Instead, Allah Ta’alaa commanded:
“Get out from it (from Jannat) buffeted and accursed.”
Surah 7: Al-A’raaf Verse 18
From this response, it should be realised that the obsequious ones (bootlickers) should be expelled. The duty of the Muallim is to inform (of the Haqq). To debate is not the function of the Musliheen (spiritual guides). It is the function of Madrasah teachers (when explaining to their students).”
Thus the molvis who bootlick rulers and wealthy, and who seek to be in the good books of the people of the dunya at the cost of profferring baseless interpretation of the Ahkaam of the Shariah to soothe westernised palates of deviates, are in reality the heirs of Iblees, hence we dub them the Agents of Iblees.

Allah Ta’alaa speaks of Shaytaans progeny in the Qur’aan Shareef:
أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُۥ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُۥٓ أَوۡلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِي وَهُمۡ لَكُمۡ عَدُوُّۢۚ بِئۡسَ لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ بَدَلٗا
Is it then that you will take him (shaytaan) and his progeny as friends instead of Me while they are enemy to you? Evil is he as substitute, for wrongdoers
Surah 18: Al-Kahf, Verse 50
