64 One the Day Judgement It should be remembered that if Shaitaan is attached to a personhe departs the company of the persons afterthe death. Then on the Day of Judgement he will accompany the infidel to take him into Hell. If one can obtain the companionship of the poor then on the Day of Judgement one’s end will be the same as that of the pious. Says Allah Almighty“And whoever obeys Allāh and the Messenger - those will be with the ones upon whom Allāh has bestowed favor of the prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs and the righteous. And excellent are those as companions.“(S4 V69)
65. In the world had I not listened to you there, and then today you would have been far away from me. But this desire now would be meaningless. Now he has to stay with him
66 The infidel today will be able to see the devil in his true form, which would be very frightening at that time he would say this.”
