Translation
(79) But Satan said, ‘My Lord, grant me respite until the Day of Resurrection,’ (80) so He said, ‘You are granted respite (81) till the Appointed Day.’ (82) He said, ‘By Your Honour, I will lead all of them astray, (83) except for those among them who are Your chosen servants.’ (84) God said, ‘This is the truth—I speak only the truth— (85) I will fill up Hell with you and every one of them who follows you.’
Commentary
(b) In the present world of trial, Satan has been given every opportunity to misguide man. But Satan can do so only till Doomsday arrives. When the Day of Judgement tears apart the veil of falsehood, everything will become plain and clear. Thereafter, there will neither be anybody who can deceive nor anybody who can be deceived.
