                                  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)
