He said, “My Lord, then give me respite up to the day they (the dead) shall be raised.”

He (Allah) said, “Well, respite is given to you

till the day of the Appointed Time.”

He said, “My Lord, since You made me go astray, I swear that I shall beautify for them (evils) on the earth, and shall lead all of them astray,

except those of Your servants from among them who are chosen (by You).”

He (Allah) said, “This is the straight path leading to Me (that a person is chosen by Me through his good deeds).

My servants are such that you have no power over them except those of the deviators who will follow you.

And Jahannam (Hell) is the promised place for them all.

It has seven gates. For each gate there is a group apportioned from them.”

Surely, the God-fearing will be in gardens and streams:

“Enter here in peace, free of fear.”
