(Ayah 63){قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَمَنْ تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ … :} The acceptance of Satan's request is evidence that sometimes Allah Almighty also accepts the supplication of a disobedient person, and also that the acceptance of supplication is not a sign of Allah's pleasure. Rather, sometimes He accepts supplication due to His displeasure, for example, the acceptance of supplication for success in unlawful earnings and illicit love and immorality is not a sign of Allah's pleasure, but rather a prelude to His punishment.
