Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Excerpts from the Holy Qur’an, an Eternal Guidance to Mankind The Non-Believers, the Hypocrites Shaitan (Iblees) given respite and he in turn vowing to mislead all, but a few human beings Surah Al – Hijr, 15:36-44 قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرْنِي إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ Qaala rab-bi fa-’anzirniii ilaa yawmi yub-‘athuun. 36.

Said (Iblees): “Then, O my Sustainer, grant me a respite till the Day when all shall be raised from the dead!” قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنظَرِينَ Qaala fa-in-naka minal munzariin. 37. Answered He: “Verily, so be it: thou shalt be among those who are granted respite إِلَى يَومِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُومِ Ilaa yawmil waqtil ma‘luum 38.

till the Day the time whereof is known (to Me alone).” قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَا أَغْوَيْتَنِي لأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ Qaala rab-bi bimaaa aghwaytanii la-uzai-yinan-na lahum fil-arzi wala-ughwi-yan-nahum ajma-‘iin. 39. (Whereupon Iblees) said: “O my Sustainer !

Since Thou hast thwarted me, I shall indeed make (all that is evil) on earth seem goodly to them, and shall most certainly beguile them into grievous error - إِلاَّ عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِينَ Il-laa ‘ibaadaka minhumul mukhlasiin. 40. (all) save such of them as are truly Thy servants!” قَالَ هَذَا صِرَاطٌ عَلَيَّ مُسْتَقِيمٌ Qaala haazaa siraatun ‘alay-ya mustaqiin. 41.

Said He: “This is, with Me, a straight way: إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَانٌ إِلاَّ مَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْغَاوِينَ In-na ‘ibaadii laisa laka ‘alaihim sultaanun illaa manit-taba-‘aka minal ghaawiin. 42. verily, thou shalt have no power over My creatures - unless it be such as are (already) lost in grievous error and follow thee ( of their own will): وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ Wa in-na jahan-nama lamaw‘iduhum ajma-‘iin. 43.

and for all such, behold, hell is the promised goal, لَهَا سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَابٍ لِّكُلِّ بَابٍ مِّنْهُمْ جُزْءٌ مَّقْسُومٌ Lahaa sab‘atu abwaab. Likul-li baabim-minhum juz-um-maqsuum. 44. with seven gates [^1] leading into it, each gate receiving its allotted share of sinners.” It is said that Iblees has been granted respite until the blowing of the Trumpet which will be given for the total annihilation of all living beings before the Final Judgment.
