Chapter:14 to Verse:22

Once the matter has been decided, Shaitan will say: “In fact, the promises which Allah made to you were all true; I too made some promises to you but failed to keep any of them. However, I had no power over you. I just invited you, and you accepted my invitation. Now! Do not blame me, but blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor you can help me. I reject what you did before; that you associated me with Allah. Certainly such wrongdoers will have painful punishment.” 14:22
Meaning:-
Wrongdoer: a person who behaves illegally or dishonestly; an offender.

Chapter: 47 to Verse:24, 25 & 26

Do they not then think deeply in the Quran, or are their hearts locked up (from understanding it)? 47:24
Those who turn back to unbelief after the guidance has become clear are seduced by Shaitan who gives them false hopes. 47:25
This, because they said to those who hate what Allah has revealed, “We will obey you in part of (this) matter”; but Allah knows their (inner) secrets. 47:26
Meaning:-
Seduced: Tempt, attract powerfully.

Chapter: 58 to Verse:18 to 19

On the Day when Allah will raise them all to life, they will swear to Him as they now swear to you, thinking that their oaths will help them. By no means! Surely they are the liars. 58:18
Shaitan (Satan) has overtaken them. So he has made them forget the remembrance of Allah. They are the party of Shaitan (Satan). Verily, it is the party of Shaitan (Satan) that will be the losers! 58:19

Then We said: “O Adam! This Shaitan is a real enemy to you and to your wife. Do not let him get you both out of Paradise and get you in trouble. 20:117
Here in Paradise you shall go neither hungry nor naked; 20:118
“Nor to suffer from thirst, nor from the sun’s heat.” 20:119
Then Shaitan (Satan) whispered to him, saying : “O Adam! Shall I lead you to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that will never waste away?” 20:120
They both end up eating the fruit of the forbidden tree. As a result their private parts became apparent to them and they both began to cover themselves with the leaves from the Garden. Thus did Adam disobey His Lord and go astray. 20:121
Later on Adam repented and his Lord chose him, accepted his repentance and gave him guidance, 20:122
saying: “Get down from here all of you (Adam, Eve and Iblees); you will remain enemies to one another, whenever there comes to you guidance from Me and whosoever will follow My guidance will neither go astray nor get into trouble; 20:123

Chapter:2 to Verse: 50 to 51

When We said to the angels: “Prostrate yourself before Adam,” all prostrated themselves except Iblees (Shaitan), who was one of the Jinns and chose to disobey the command of his Lord. Would you then take him and his children as your protectors rather than Me, even though they are your enemies? What a bad substitute the wrongdoers have chosen! 18:50
I (Allah) made them (Iblis and his offspring) not to witness (nor took their help in) the creation of the heavens and the earth and not (even) their own creation, nor was I (Allah) to take the misleaders as helpers. 18:51

[Iblees] said, “Do You see this one whom You have honored above me? If You delay me until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely destroy his descendants, except for a few.” 17:62
Allah said: “Go away! Hell is your reward, and the reward of those who follow you, an ample reward it shall be. 17:63
You may try to allure whomsoever you can with your seductive voice, muster against them all your cavalry and infantry, be their partner in their riches and their children, and promise them what you will – the promises of shaitan are nothing but deception  17:64
