Satan promises them and arouses desire in them. But Satan does not promise them except delusion.
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(4:120) Satan makes promises to them and fills them with vain hopes, *149 but whatever he promises them is merely delusion.
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*149). Satanic operations are based on making attractive promises and raising high hopes. Whenever Satan wants to mislead men, whether individually or collectively, he tries to inspire them with Utopian expectations. In some he inspires expectations of ecstatic pleasure and outstanding success in their individual lives. He inspires others with prospects for achieving national glory. To still others he promises the well-being of mankind. He makes people feel confident that they can arrive at the ultimate truth without the aid of revealed knowledge. He deludes others into believing that God neither exists nor that there is any Life-after-Death. He comforts others with the belief that even if there is an After-life, they will be able to escape punishment through the intercession of certain persons. In short, Satan extends to different groups of people different promises and expectations with a view to seducing them.
