22. 1. What was this deception or trickery? Some say it was their incitement of certain people to kill Prophet Nuh (علیہ السلام). Some say it was the deception of the soul due to wealth and children that they fell prey to. Some even said that if they were not upon the truth, why would they have these blessings? According to some, their disbelief itself was a great deception.
