It is a fact that the man worshipped Satan his entire life.

It is a fact that the man worshipped Satan his entire life. He was always responding to the call of Satan. His tongue spoke at Satan’s orders. His eyes saw things in response to Satan’s wishes. His heart responded to Satan’s wishes. When throughout his life the person was at the beck and call of Satan, then at the time of the talqeen whether he said ‘ Ya Rabb ’ or ‘Ya Iblīs’ his respondent can only be Satan.

Even if the curtains got raised in the person’s last moments, and he was repentant, even then he would get only disappointment! Of what use will be this repentance! O believers! Try to be steadfast in doing the Isti’adha.
