HE IS UNGRATEFUL TO ALLAH
Squanderers are brothers to the satans, and satan was ungrateful
to his Lord. (Qur'an, 17:27)
HE LIES
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)
In this way We have appointed as enemies to every Prophet satans
from both mankind and from the jinn, who inspire each other with
delusions by means of specious words—if your Lord had willed,
they would not have done it, so abandon them and all they
fabricate. (Qur'an, 6:112)
HE HAS BEEN BANISHED FROM ALLAH'S
SIGHT AND HE IS CURSED
When she gave birth, she said, 'My Lord! I have given birth to a
girl'—and Allah knew very well what she had given birth to, male
and female are not the same—'and I have named her Maryam and
placed her and her children in Your safekeeping from the accursed
satan.' (Qur'an, 3:36)
Nor is it (the Qur'an) the word of an accursed satan. (Qur'an, 81:25)
We have guarded them from every cursed satan. (Qur'an, 15:17)
