62. Yet he has led a great multitude of you astray [57]. Will you not then use your reason?
[57] Despite the fact that Allah Almighty took a covenant from all the children of Adam, and this covenant was ﴿ألَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ﴾, then Allah also gave you intellect to think and understand, then Allah Almighty kept sending His messengers and books to remind you of this covenant, yet this very Satan succeeded in leading a large number of the children of Adam astray. Therefore, O covenant-breaking criminals! You did not use your intellect at all, so now the result is before you. Hell is waiting for you. The punishment for rejecting the call of the messengers and for stubbornness is that now you must enter this Hell.
