Praise be to Allaah.
The fate of the Shaytaan on the Day of Resurrection will be the worst
and most horrible of fates – we seek refugewith Allaah – as is
indicated by a great dealof evidence from the Book of Allaah and the
Sunnah of His Messenger(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
Allaah has stated that the Shaytaan is one of the kaafirs
(disbelievers)as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
'And (remember) when We said to the angels: "Prostrate yourselves
before Adam." And they prostrated except Iblees (Satan), he refused
and was proud and was one of the disbelievers (disobedient to Allaah)'
[al-Baqarah 2:34]
And the fate of the disbelievers will be Hell, what a miserable abode.
Allaah tells us that His curse is upon the Shaytaan until the Day
ofResurrection, and that He will fill Hell with him and his followers.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
'And surely, We created you (your father Adam) and then gave you shape
(the noble shape of a human being); then We told the angels,
"Prostrate yourselves to Adam", and they prostrated themselves, except
Iblees (Satan), he refused to be of those who prostrated themselves.
12. (Allaah) said: "What prevented you (O Iblees) that you did not
prostrate yourself, whenI commanded you?" Iblees said: "I am better
than him (Adam), You created me from fire, and him You created from
clay."
13. (Allaah) said: "(O Iblees) get down from this (Paradise), it is
not for you to be arrogant here. Get out, for you are of those
humiliated and disgraced."
14. (Iblees) said: "Allow me respite till the Day they are raised up
(i.e. the Day of Resurrection)."
15. (Allaah) said: "You are of those respited."
16. (Iblees) said: "Because You have sent me astray, surely, I will
sit in wait against them (human beings) on Your straight path.
17. "Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from
their right and from their left, and You will not find most of them as
thankful ones (i.e. they will not be dutiful to You)."
18. (Allaah) said (to Iblees): "Get out from this (Paradise),
disgraced and expelled. Whoever of them (mankind) will follow you,
then surely, I will fillHell with you all."'
[al-A'raaf 7:11-18]
Allaah tells us what the Shaytaan said when he was informed that he
would be expelled and cast away from the mercy of Allaah
(interpretation of the meaning):
'[Iblees (Satan)] said: "ByYour Might, then I will surely, mislead them all,
83. "Except Your chosen slaves amongst them (i.e.faithful, obedient,
true believers of Islamic Monotheism)."
84. (Allaah) said: "The truth is — and the truth Isay
85. That I will fill Hell with you [Iblees (Satan)] and those of them
(mankind) that follow you, together."'
[Saad 38:82-85]
And there are other verses which describe the fate of the Shaytaan on
the Day of Resurrection.
Allaah tells us that the Shaytaan will disown hisfollowers on the Day
of Resurrection. He says (interpretation of the meaning):
'And Shaytaan (Satan) will say when the matterhas been decided:
"Verily, Allaah promised you a promise of truth. And I too promised
you, but I betrayed you. I hadno authority over you except that I
called you, and you responded to me. So blame me not, but blame
yourselves. I cannot help you, nor canyou help me. I deny yourformer
act in associatingme (Satan) as a partner with Allaah (by obeying me
in the life of the world). Verily, there is a painful torment for the
Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers)."'
[Ibraaheem 14:22]
Let the wise beware lest they become followers of the Shaytaan, for
his followers are the people of Hell – as stated in the verses quoted
above – and the Shaytaan 'only invites his Hizb (followers) that they
may become the dwellers of the blazing Fire' [Faatir 35:6 –
interpretation of the meaning].
'They are the party of Shaytaan (Satan). Verily, it is the party of
Shaytaan (Satan) that will be the losers!'
[al-Mujaadilah 58:19– interpretation of the meaning].
Hence Allaah has commanded us to regard him as our enemy and to fight
him, and to beware of obeying him and following in his footsteps.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
'Surely, Shaytaan (Satan)is an enemy to you, so take (treat) him as an enemy'
[Faatir 35:6]
'Did I not command you, O Children of Adam, that you should not
worship Shaytaan (Satan). Verily, he is a plain enemy to you'
[Yaa-Seen 36:6]
'O mankind! Eat of that which is lawful and good on the earth, and
follow not the footsteps of Shaytaan (Satan). Verily, he is to you an
open enemy'
[al-Baqarah 2:168]
'O you who believe! Follow not the footsteps of Shaytaan (Satan). And
whosoever follows the footsteps of Shaytaan (Satan), then, verily, he
commands Al-Fahsha' [i.e. to commit indecency(illegal sexual
intercourse)], and Al-Munkar [disbelief and polytheism (i.e. to do
evil and wicked deeds; and to speak or to do what is forbidden in
Islam)]'
[al-Noor 24:21]
We ask Allaah to grant usrefuge from the accursed Shaytaan.
And Allaah knows best.
