(The Satan continuing his ranting said:) And I certainly will mislead them, and I certainly will arouse them, And I certainly will commend them so that they will cut the cattle’s ears And I certainly will commend them so that they will modify Allah’s creation. And whoever takes the Satan as the true friend Other than Allah, then indeed he has lost an obviously big loss.
