me till the Day when they are raised (from the dead).
15. He said: Lo! Thou
art of those reprieved.
16. He said: Now,
because Thou hast sent me astray, verily I shall lurk in ambush for them on
Thy Right Path-
17. Then I shall come
upon them from before them and from behind them and from their right hands
and from their left hands, and Thou will not find most of them beholden (unto
Thee).

Commentary
It
is commanded that when Iblis (Satan) was exiled, He thought: It
was a big thing. As he was created from fire, so He was ill-tempered. He
thought also that: Nothing will be, if I would consider myself great, because
actual Power and Honor is in the Hand of Allah only, otherwise, there is no
other form. As I have been degraded, now I can do nothing by being good. The
only form is that I should demand power from Allah to make Adam (peace be upon
Him) and His children sinner. And that power should be like it – that I may use
that power to mislead the human beings until any individual from the children
of Adam (peace be upon Him) is living in the world.
After
making such plan and being disappointed from all sides, He cried before Allah
Almighty: I should be retained living till happening of the Day of Resurrection
and I should be given so much power that I may do, whatsoever I desire, without
any minute examination. You have Power to punish me as You wish on the Day of
Judgment.
There
is no delay in the Court of Allah Almighty. That will be given to every such
person, whichever and whoever deserves and demands. And it was known also that
He (Satan) cannot mar the management of the world. Therefore, Allah Almighty
permitted Iblis to do whatever He wished and said: Lo! Thou art of those reprieved.
That
was it – the desire of Satan’s heart was fulfilled. He was becoming blind in
the ardent zeal of revenge from Adam (peace be upon Him), and began to dance
with pleasure. If you wish to guess regarding running mad in pleasure by Iblis,
then you would have to see the condition of that individual, who has been saved
from the punishment of death, converted into imprisonment for life, after
hearing his appeal by the Criminal Court. Such person, really, runs mad due to
passion of the pleasure.
Similarly, Iblis (the
Devil) sang for joy and said addressing the Most Superior Authority (God
Almighty): I will show You too that; what would I have done. I shall not let
Adam (peace be upon Him) and His children go the Right Path. In this
connection, I shall try my best. I shall encircle them from all sides and set a
trap heart-alluring and of wickedness. And I am sure; maximum people from them
will get out of their senses after being entangled in My trap and they will
think nothing about You (Allah Almighty).
At that time Allah Almighty
rebuked Iblis (the Devil) carelessly and said: Go! You are
free. Try your best. Its consequence will come before you.
