Question:
Assalamualikum!
Sorry for this stupid question but I felt I should ask. My question is that since Allah is the most forgiving, will he forgive shaytan?
I am sorry my lack of Adab. My you pray for my family and me.
Jazakallah!
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
The dialog states in the Qur’an:
(Allah) said: “Then, get out from here, for verily, you are Rajeem (an outcast or a cursed one).” [Tafseer At-Tabaree].
“And verily, the curse shall be upon you till the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)” [Quran, al-Hijr: 34 – 35].
From this we understand that the curse on shaytan shall be till the day of Resurrection. Allah does not state that he will be forgiven. Allah knows best.
