6. Surely Satan is an enemy to you, so take him as an enemy. He only invites his followers so that they may become [10] companions of the Fire.
[10] Therefore, O people! Do not fall for the deception of Satan. Do not obey him in anything. He has been your enemy from the very beginning. Thus, your safety lies in considering him as your enemy. He can never become your friend. No matter how beautifully he presents polytheistic beliefs and innovations, and even if you begin to consider them acts of virtue and the means to success in both worlds, in reality, he is acting with enmity towards you. His primary objective is that he should not go to Hell alone, but rather, he wants to take along with him a large number of jinn and humans as his companions to Hell.
