THE ARROGANCE OF SATAN
commanded us to reject Allah and assign equals to
Him." But they will show their remorse when they see
the punishment. We will put iron collars round the
necks of those who disbelieve. Will they be repaid for
anything but what they did? (Surah Saba' : 31-33)
As these verses also note, those who had become arrogant
and those "deemed weak" will accuse one another, but it will
be of no avail. In another verse, their situation is stated as
follows:
The Fire, morning and night, to which they are exposed;
and on the Day the Hour takes place: "Admit Pharaoh' s
people to the harshest punishment!"
When they are squabbling with one another in the Fire,
the weak will say to those deemed great, "We were your
followers, so why do you not relieve us of a portion of
the Fire?" (Surah Ghafir: 46-47)
