Saad (The letter Saad)

84. “(Allah) said: ‘Then it is the truth; and the truth do I speak,”

85. “Certainly I will fill Hell with you, and with whoever of them follows you, all together’.”

Both Allah and His statement are true. These two verses are in answer to Iblis who threatened he would beguile all humankind except the sincere ones.

Here are the holy verses concerning this matter:

“(Allah) said: ‘Then it is the truth; and the truth do I speak,” “Certainly I will fill Hell with you, and with whoever of them follows you, all together’.”

Whatever was said from the beginning of this Surah up to here, and whatever for which Divine great prophets struggled, a part of whose life story has been mentioned in this Surah, all have been true.

The words about the Hereafter, the painful chastisement of the disobedient ones, and the kinds of merits for the inhabitants of Paradise which have been referred to in this Surah all are true.

The end of the Surah is true, too, and Allah swears in truth. He speaks true when He says He will fill Hell with Satan and his followers. Allah says so in answer to the statement of Satan, who decisively said about the temptation of humankind, and He also speaks decisively and makes the circumstance of all clear.

However, these two verses contain different emphasises. The first verse has emphasised on the word ‘true’ for two times and oath has been made. The Qur’anic sentence: /la’amla’anna/ (I will fill) has also another emphasis.

The word ‘all together’ is also a repeated emphasis over all of these so that no one may have the least doubt in this regard, because there is no way of salvation for Satan and his followers and their way will be led to Dar-ul-Bawar (one of the names of Hell).
