IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[19:68]
And so, by thy Sustainer, [on Judgment Day] We shall most certainly bring them forth together with the satanic forces [which impelled them in life], and then We shall most certainly gather them, on their knees, around hell;

* v.68 : See sūrah 15, first half of note 16; cf. also the reference to the “worship of Satan” in verses 44-45 of the present sūrah, as well as the corresponding notes 33 and 34. The symbolism of the sinners being linked on Judgment Day “with the satanic forces which impelled them in life” is easily understood if we remember – as has been pointed out in note 10 on 2:14 – that the term shaytān (“satan” or “satanic force”) is often used in the Qur’ān to describe every evil propensity in man’s own self. The personal pronoun relates to those who reject the concept of resurrection and life after death.
