"That is, it does not become distant or absent. Remain in the Presence of the One Whose Door Never Closes He will strip you of your faith and knowledge, and unleash upon you your devil, your own self, your desires, your family, your passions, your neighbors, your companions, your friends, and all of His creation, even the scorpions and snakes of your dwelling, its jinn, and the rest of its vermin, thus souring your life in this world and prolonging your torment in the hereafter."

"They have agreed to abandon revelation, uniting in their refusal to be guided by it. اللّٰه describes them: "But they have broken their religion among them into sects, each faction rejoicing in what it has." And: "And so We have made for every prophet an enemy—devils from mankind and jinn, inspiring to one another decorative speech in delusion." Because of this, the Messenger has said: "O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this القُرْآن as [a thing] abandoned.""

"It has been said that what is meant by this is His saying, "I shall surely fill Hell with jinn and men all together," and His promise of the Garden to the people of faith — and that this is neither altered nor broken.
