Responding to disbelief, their messengers said, “Is there any doubt about Allāh, the Originator of the heavens and the earth?!

Their messengers said to them, “We surely are nothing but human beings like you, but Allāh bestows His favour (i.e., prophethood and messengership) upon whomsoever He pleases from among His servants.

On the day of judgement, the unbelievers shall come forth unto Allāh altogether; then the weak, blind followers will say to those who were arrogant leaders: “We surely were your followers in rejecting the messengers; can you therefore now help us against the chastisement of Allāh in any way?” The leaders would say, “If God had guided us, we too would have guided you. Now it is the same for us whether we regret or bear the consequences patiently—there is no place of refuge for us.”S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

Together they will be presented before Allah. Then those who were weak will say to the arrogant [leaders], ‘Indeed we were your followers.

When the fate of the unbelievers will be decided, they will start blaming the Shayṭān for misleading them. The Shayṭān will say: “Certainly Allāh promised you through His messengers a true promise; and I also promised you but failed to keep my promise to you. And remember that I had no power over you; of course, I called you, and you answered me with your free will. So do not blame me but blame yourselves. Neither can I call you for help, nor can you call me for help. I certainly reject your act of associating me with Allāh in the past.” Surely the unjust shall have a painful chastisement.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

When the matter is all over, Satan will say, ‘Indeed Allah made you a promise that was true and I [too] made you a promise, but I failed you. I had no authority over you, except that I called you and you responded to me. So do not blame me, but blame yourselves. I cannot respond to your distress calls, neither can you respond to my distress calls. Indeed I disavow your taking me for [Allah’s] partner aforetime.
