satan Disowns His Followers

14:22

وَقَالَ ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنُ لَمَّا قُضِىَ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَعَدَڪُمۡ وَعۡدَ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَوَعَدتُّكُمۡ فَأَخۡلَفۡتُڪُمۡ‌ۖ وَمَا كَانَ لِىَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّن سُلۡطَـٰنٍ إِلَّآ أَن دَعَوۡتُكُمۡ فَٱسۡتَجَبۡتُمۡ لِى‌ۖ فَلَا تَلُومُونِى وَلُومُوٓاْ أَنفُسَڪُم‌ۖ مَّآ أَنَا۟ بِمُصۡرِخِڪُمۡ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُصۡرِخِىَّ‌ۖ إِنِّى ڪَفَرۡتُ بِمَآ أَشۡرَڪۡتُمُونِ مِن قَبۡلُ‌ۗ إِنَّ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ۬ ٢٢

And the devil will say, after the judgment had been issued, "ALLAH has promised you the truthful promise, and I promised you, but I broke my promise. I had no power over you; I simply invited you, and you accepted my invitation. Therefore, do not blame me, and blame only yourselves. My complaining cannot help you, nor can your complaining help me. I have disbelieved in your idolizing me. The transgressors have incurred a painful retribution."

Proofs and revelations

14:22 - The Proof:


14:22 Part: I have disbelieved in your idolizing me. The transgressors have incurred a painful retribution.


Revealed: The GV of Allah letters is 162. This will be the final admission from satan that he has disowned the idol worshipers and this is a sign that he wants to submit but it is too late now. This is similar to Pharaoh, who wanted to submit to Allah at the last minute when he saw the retribution but it was too late as per verses 10:90 and 10:91.

14:21 When they all stand before ALLAH, the followers will say to the leaders, "We used to follow you. Can you spare us even a little bit of ALLAH's retribution?" They will say, "Had ALLAH guided us, we would have guided you. Now it is too late, whether we grieve or resort to patience, there is no exit for us."14:22 And the devil will say, after the judgment had been issued, "ALLAH has promised you the truthful promise, and I promised you, but I broke my promise.

    This opposition by iblees to Allah and His religion of submission started from the time of the Heavenly Feud and will continue until the Last Day – the Day of Judgment. On the Day of Judgment, as verse 14:22 informs us, iblees and his followers will finally submit to Allah, as their freedom to speak will be renounced. They will then be powerless and will admit their crime and guilt of misleading the people to think that Allah Alone was not enough as a Lord and Master; and that he also had some power independent of…

  4. Section 17 – The Ultimate Admission by the Second God – iblees, his Followers, and the Leaders of Sects about their Disbelief in Absolute Authority of Allah and His Command to Submit to Him Page 75

    The verse 14:22 takes us back in time when the “heavenly feud” was initiated by iblees (GV 103), by refusing to fall prostrate (GV 103) upon the command of Allah Ta’ala. Therefore, the last day verse, 14:22 is marked and coded to connect it from the First Day to the Last Day. This reflects upon the “invisible war” that satan and his allies launched against Allah and His truthful allies by promoting falsehood and misleading the people.

When asked who is behind the hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, droughts, and other calamities and disasters, their response is ‘mother nature.’ If you ask them to explain what it means and who is ‘mother nature’, they have no idea, yet they continue to say out of sheer ignorance and arrogance. They have no comprehension about the Eternal Living Existence of 1 God, Allah, who has created and controls…
