HIS SCHEMING IS ALWAYS POWERLESS
AGAINST THOSE WHO BELIEVE
When the affair is decided satan will say, 'Allah made you a
promise, a promise of truth, and I made you a promise but broke
my promise. I had no authority over you, except that I called you
and you responded to me. Do not, therefore, blame me but blame
yourselves. I cannot come to your aid nor you to mine. I reject the
way you associated me with Allah before.' The wrongdoers will
have a painful punishment. (Qur'an, 14:22)
Diabolis was correct in his assessment of them and they followed
him, except for a group of the believers. He had no authority over
them except to enable Us to know those who believe in the
hereafter from those who are in doubt about it. Your Lord is the
Preserver of all things. (Qur'an, 34:20-21)
Those who believe fight in the Way of Allah. Those who do not
believe fight in the way of false gods. So fight the friends of satan!
Satan's scheming is always feeble. (Qur'an, 4:76)
HE CAN ONLY DECEIVE THOSE
WHO TAKE HIM AS THEIR FRIEND
It was only satan frightening you through his friends. But do not
fear them— fear Me if you are believers. (Qur'an, 3:175)
HE DESCENDS ON THOSE WHO DENY
Shall I tell you upon whom the satans descend? They descend on
every evil liar. They give them a hearing and most of them are
liars. (Qur'an, 26:221-223)
EVERYONE, SAVE THE BELIEVERS,
FOLLOWS HIM
Diabolis was correct in his assessment of them and they followed
him, except for a group of the believers. (Qur'an, 34:20)
