[ 17 ]As the Koran states: ‘‘Do not the
Believers know, that, had Allah (so)
willed, He could have guided all
mankind (to the right)? But the
Unbelievers: never will disaster cease to
seize them for their (ill) deeds, or to
settle close to their homes, until the
promise of Allah come to pass, for,
verily, Allah will not fail in His
promise’’ (Sura 13:31). This idea
recurs: ‘‘If We had so willed, We could
certainly have brought every soul its
true guidance: but the Word from Me
will come true, ‘I will fill Hell with
Jinns [spirit beings] and men all
together’’’ (Sura 32:13).
