“Diabolis, what prevented you prostrating to what I created
with My own Hands? Were you overcome by arrogance or
are you one of the exalted?” (Surah Sâd, 71-75)
We are told in other verses that the basic reason for the rebel-
lion of Diabolis was his pride and arrogance, which made him see
a mere human being as inferior to himself. The 76th verse of
Surah Sâd— He [satan]) said, “I am better than him. You created
me from fire, but You created him from clay”—shows how un-
grateful and insolent he was.
Allah created the whole universe including human beings,
angels, jinns and satan. He creates what He wills in the shape and
form He chooses. And every created being is bound to give pro-
found respect to our Lord. To disobey and refuse to serve the One
Who created us from nothing would be inane ungratefulness.
But Diabolis behaved heedlessly. He was driven from
Paradise because of his disobedience. He views human beings as
his greatest enemy; he tries to divert all people from the true path,
having obtained a period of time from Allah in which to bring
trouble upon human beings. This is revealed in the following
verses of the Qur’an:
[Allah] said, “Get out! You are accursed! My curse is upon
you until the Day of Reckoning.” [Satan] said, “My Lord,
grant me a reprieve until the Day they are raised again.” He
said, “You are among the reprieved until the Day whose time
is known.” He said, “By Your might, I will mislead all of
them except for Your chosen servants among them.” He said,
“By the truth—and I speak the truth—I will fill up Hell with
you and every one of them who follows you.” (Surah Sâd, 77-
85)
