Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:71Likewise did We make For every Messenger An enemy,—evil ones Among men and Jinns, Inspiring each other With flowery discourses By way of deception. If thy Lord had so planned, They would not have Done it: so leave them And their inventions alone.

Surah Al-A'raf, verse 7:22O ye Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you, In the same manner as He got your parents out Of the Garden, stripping them Of their raiment, to expose Their shame: for he And his tribe watch you From a position where ye Cannot see them: We made The Evil Ones friends (Only) to those without Faith.
Surah Al-A'raf, verse 7:27Some He hath guided: Others have (by their choice) Deserved the loss of their way; In that they took The Evil Ones, in preference To God, for their friends And protectors, and think That they receive guidance.

I am clear Of you; to! I see What ye see not; Lo! I fear God; for God Is strict in punishment.

I reject Your former act in associating Me with God. For wrong-doers there must be A grievous Penalty."
