ch the wind blows hard on a stormy day; they shall not
have power over any thing out of what they have earned; this is the
great error.

Y: Seest thou not that Allah created the heavens and the earth in Truth?
If He so will, He can remove you and put (in your place) a new
creation?
P: Hast thou not seen that Allah hath created the heavens and the earth
with truth? If He will, He can remove you and bring (in) some new
creation;
S: Do you not see that Allah created the heavens and the earth with
truth? If He please He will take you off and bring a new creation,

Y: Nor is that for Allah any great matter.
P: And that is no great matter for Allah.
S: And this is not difficult for Allah.

Y: They will all be marshalled before Allah together: then will the weak
say to those who were arrogant, "For us, we but followed you; can ye
then avail us to all against the wrath of Allah?" They will reply, "If
we had received the Guidance of Allah, we should have given it to you:
to us it makes no difference (now) whether we rage, or bear (these
torments) with patience: for ourselves there is no way of escape."
P: They all come forth unto their Lord. Then those who were despised say
unto those who were scornful: We were unto you a following, can ye then
avert from us aught of Allah's doom? They say: Had Allah guided us, we
should have guided you. Whether we rage or patiently endure is (now)
all one for us; we have no place of refuge.
S: And they shall all come forth before Allah, then the weak shall say
to those who were proud: Surely we were your followers, can you
therefore avert from us any part of the chastisement of Allah? They
would say: If Allah had guided us, we too would have guided you; it is
the same to us whether we are impatient (now) or patient, there is no
place for us to fly to.

Y: And Satan will say when the matter is decided: "It was Allah Who gave
you a promise of Truth: I too promised, but I failed in my promise to
you. I had no authority over you except to call you but ye listened to
me: then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. I cannot listen
to your cries, nor can ye listen to mine. I reject your former act in
associating me with Allah. For wrong-doers there must be a grievous
penalty."
P: And Satan saith, when the matter hath been decided: Lo! Allah
promised you a promise of truth; and I promised you, then failed you.
And I had no power over you s
