Allâh promised you a promise of truth. And I too promised you, but
I betrayed you. I had no authority over you except that I called you,
so you responded to me. So blame me not, but blame yourselves. I
cannot help you, nor can you help me. I deny your former act in
associating me (Satan) as a partner with Allâh (by obeying me in
the life of the world). Verily, there is a painful torment for the
Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.)."
