“Surely We created you, then shaped you, then said to the angels, ‘Prostrate before Adam,’ so they all did—but not Iblis, who refused to prostrate with the others.”
“Allah asked, ‘What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?’ He replied, “I am better than him: You created me from fire and him from clay.’”
“Allah said, ‘Then get down from Paradise! It is not for you to be arrogant here. So get out. You are truly one of the disgraced.’”
“He appealed, ‘Then delay my end until the Day of their resurrection.’”
“Allah said, ‘You are delayed until the appointed Day’.
“He said, ‘Because you have misguided me, I will lie in ambush for them on Your Straight Path.”
“I will approach them from their front, their back, their right, their left, and then You will find most of them ungrateful.’”
“Allah said, ‘Get out of Paradise. You are disgraced and rejected. I will certainly fill up Hell with you and your followers all together.’”
(Quran 7:11-18)

You cannot be mislead if you’re truly devout and follow the commandments of God. See? That’s the point. Satan is merely meant to be a hurdle to be overcome so someone can be rewarded in the afterlife. As for the user accusing you of lying, I don’t see how. All the English translations of this story basically convey the same thing, only worded differently.
Not even God can kill an immortal spirit, silly.
I'm sorry, but none of that took place as per in the Bible. If you want to know the truth read the Bible from Genesis. God allows Satan to live as he does with each one of us. Do you think we are better than angels The time will come when all evil will be cast into the lake of fire where Satan and his angels will be.
Pfft, these verses are just paraphrased and modified to make them "authentic" to the Quran. So, where is the plot twist? Allah is Satan. You can't fool someone by purely lying. You need to have SOME element of truth. That's what the Quran does.
As said, it’s not Allah’s fault that you decide to disobey him and follow the whispers of Satan. He’s meant to be a test for humanity. It is Allah's way of weeding out the unfaithful from entering paradise.
It's the bible god's fault.
If you are mislead by satan it is YOUR doing and YOUR fault. Its not even "mislead" its tempted
If a creator conceived by dehydrated shepherds is your thing, then question it 'til your heart's content.
The rest of us will be focused on things that matter to the betterment of society.
Satan and Allah are the same creature.
