Answered He: “Verily, so (be it:) thou shalt be among those who are granted respite إِلَى يَوْمِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُومِ ’Ilaa Yawmil-Waqtil-Ma‘luum. 81. till the Day the time whereof is known (only to Me).” قَالَ فَبِعِزَّتِكَ لَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ Qaala fabi-‘iz-zatika la-’ughwiyan-nahum ’ajma-‘iin, 82.
(Whereupon Iblees) said: “then (I swear) by Thy very might: I shall most certainly beguile them all into grievous error - إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِينَ ’Il-laa ‘Ibaadaka minhumul mukhlasiin. 83. (all) save such of them as are truly Thy servants!” قَالَ فَالْحَقُّ وَالْحَقَّ أَقُولُ Qaala falhaq-qu wal-haq-qa ’aquul 84. (And God) said: “This, then, is the truth! And this truth do I state: لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكَ وَمِمَّن تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ La-’amla-an-na.
Jahan-nama minka wa mim-man tabi-‘aka minhum ‘ajma-‘iin. 85. Most certainly will I fill hell with thee and such of them as shall follow thee, all together!” Free Will To Mankind Surah Yunus, 10 :108 قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاءكُمُ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ فَمَنِ اهْتَدَى فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِي لِنَفْسِهِ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا وَمَا أَنَاْ عَلَيْكُم بِوَكِيلٍ Qul yaaa-’ay-yu-han-naasu qad-jaaa-’akumul-Haq-qu mir-Rab-bi-kum!
Fa-manih-tadaa fa-’in-namaa yah-tadii li-nafsih; wa man-zal-la fa-’in-namaa ya-zil-lu ‘alay-haa: wa maaa ’ana ‘alay-kum bi-wakiil. 108. Say (O Prophet): “O mankind! The truth from your Sustainer has now come unto you. Whoever, therefore, chooses to follow the right path, follows it but for his own good; and whoever chooses to go astray, goes but astray to his own hurt.
And I am not responsible for your conduct.” A pre-warning of Allah (swt) to Mankind Surah Az – Zumar, 39:54-56 وَأَنِيبُوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ Wa ’aniibuuu ’ilaa Rab-bikum wa ’aslimuu lahuu min qabli ’ay-ya’-tiya-kumul-‘Azaabu thum-ma laa tunsa-ruun. 54.
Hence, turn towards your Sustainer (alone) and surrender yourselves unto Him ere the suffering (of death and resurrection) comes upon you, for then you will not be succoured. وَاتَّبِعُوا أَحْسَنَ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ العَذَابُ بَغْتَةً وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ Wat-tabi-‘uuu ’ah-sana maaa ’unzila ‘ilaykum-mir-Rab-bikum-min-qabli ’ay-ya’-tiya-kumul-‘azaabu bagh-tatanw-wa ’antum laa tash-‘uruun! – 55.
