To what extent will Shaytaan succeed in destroying the sons of Adam?
When the Shaytaan refused to submit to Adam, Allah cast him forth from His Mercy and His Paradise. He became angry with him and cursed him. The Shaytaan vowed to himself before the Lord of Glory that he would lead us astray and misguide us, and make us worship him.
Allah cursed him. And he (Shaytaan) said: ‘I will take an appointed portion of your slaves.
Verily, I will mislead them.’
(Qur’aan, 4: 118-119)
(Iblees) said: ‘See this one whom You have honoured above me, if You give me respite (keep me alive) to the Day of Resurrection, I will surely, seize and mislead his offspring (by sending them astray) all but a few!’
(Qur’aan, 17: 62)
