“(Iblees) said: ‘Allow me respite till the Day they are raised (i.e. the Day of Resurrection).’
(Allaah) said: ‘You are of those respited’”

Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and they are left, and You will not find most of them as thankful ones (i.e. they will not be dutiful to You)’”
