Dan setan berkata ketika perkara (hisab) telah diselesaikan, “Sesungguhnya Allah telah menjanjikan kepadamu janji yang benar, dan aku pun telah menjanjikan kepadamu tetapi aku menyalahinya. Tidak ada kekuasaan bagiku terhadapmu, melainkan (sekedar) aku menyeru kamu lalu kamu mematuhi seruanku, oleh sebab itu janganlah kamu mencerca aku, tetapi cercalah dirimu sendiri. Aku tidak dapat menolongmu, dan kamu pun tidak dapat menolongku. Sesungguhnya aku tidak membenarkan perbuatanmu mempersekutukan aku (dengan Allah) sejak dahulu.” Sungguh, orang yang zalim akan mendapat siksaan yang pedih.

(QS. Ibrahim ayat 22)
