1217 It is the way with the leaders of evil, when they find their cause lost, that they wash their hands of their followers and leave them in the lurch. They sec more clearly then their dupes. They are not simpletons: they know the consequences of the wrath of Allah. Satan's "fear" of Allah is terror combined with hatred - the very opposite of the feeling which is described in Taqwa, viz., the desire to avoid doing anything against Allah's will, such desire being founded on trust in Allah and the love of Allah.
