How Did Satan Know That Only a Few People Would Remain Unguided?
verified
Concise response by Master Ali Saei (Abdullah Mishkat):
Drawing on his knowledge of human faculties, the interplay of desire and reason, and reports from the heavens, Satan surmised that he would be unable to lead only a small number of people astray. His words were more like a threat and a show of power, uttered out of partisanship, zeal, vanity, arrogance, and envy. The similarities between the inclinations of jinn and humans, together with human free will, strengthened his conjecture.
