Aya 22
22
وَقالَ الشَّيطانُ لَمّا قُضِيَ الأَمرُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَعَدَكُم وَعدَ الحَقِّ وَوَعَدتُكُم فَأَخلَفتُكُم ۖ وَما كانَ لِيَ عَلَيكُم مِن سُلطانٍ إِلّا أَن دَعَوتُكُم فَاستَجَبتُم لي ۖ فَلا تَلوموني وَلوموا أَنفُسَكُم ۖ ما أَنا بِمُصرِخِكُم وَما أَنتُم بِمُصرِخِيَّ ۖ إِنّي كَفَرتُ بِما أَشرَكتُمونِ مِن قَبلُ ۗ إِنَّ الظّالِمينَ لَهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

(Irfan-ul-Quran)

And when the decision will have been given, Satan will say: ‘Indeed Allah gave you a true promise, and I (also) promised you something; so I have violated the promise. And I had no authority over you (in the world) except that I called you (towards falsehood). So you accepted my call (for your own interest). Now do not blame me but blame your (own) selves. I can do nothing (today) to help you out, nor can you extend any help to me. Before this you have been associating me as a partner (with Allah). Surely I deny that (today).’ Undoubtedly there is a painful punishment for the wrongdoers.
