“Satan is the only true lover, all others are mere prattlers. Out of his great love for his Lord, the shining one (Satan) incurred disgrace.”
Shah Latif.
Note
Commentator.—God needed opposition to make Him realise His almighty strength. To give God full possession of it, Satan sacrificed himself and rebelled, although he knew that he would thereafter be punished eternally.
