34:21

وَمَا ڪَانَ لَهُ ۥ عَلَيۡہِم مِّن سُلۡطَـٰنٍ إِلَّا لِنَعۡلَمَ مَن يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱلۡأَخِرَةِ مِمَّنۡ هُوَ مِنۡهَا فِى شَكٍّ۬ۗ وَرَبُّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ حَفِيظٌ۬ ٢١

He (satan) never had any power over them. But we thus distinguish those who believe in the Hereafter from those who are doubtful about it. Your Lord is in full control of all things.

Proofs and revelations

34:21 - the proof:

 

34:21 Part: He (satan) never had any power over them.


Revealed: The Allah letters are 7.


34:21 Part: But we thus distinguish those who believe in the Hereafter from those who are doubtful about it. Your Lord is in full control of all things.


Revealed: The Allah letters are 14.

 

This shows that Allah does put believers to the test and those who have any doubts about Allah’s Absoluteness and the Hereafter would readily follow satan’s wishes and go astray.

The Messengers/Warners Are Included In Every Important Word Of The Quran

THE MESSENGERS/WARNERS ARE INCLUDED IN EVERY IMPORTANT WORD OF THE QURAN Page 1
There are many followers of the Quran, and even some believers who may have doubts about the “system” of Allah, that includes belief in human messengers and to obey and follow a living messenger when there is one. There are many verses in the scripture regarding the importance of believing and following the messengers of Allah, but the devil may cause doubts in the hearts of the people – believers as well as disbelievers. A classic example is narrated through verses 34:20-21.
