Commentary

Some say it is from Paradise, and some say it is from the heavens. Others say it is from the creation in which you are, because he used to boast about his creation, so Allah changed his creation. He became black after being white, and became ugly after being beautiful, and became dark after being luminous. And the 'rajim' means the stoned one. Its meaning is the expelled one, as he is also called the driven away and the cursed, because one who is expelled is stoned after him. And 'rajm' is the throwing of stones. Or because the devils are stoned with meteors. If you say: His saying 'My curse is upon you until the Day of Judgment' implies that the curse of Iblis ends on the Day of Judgment, then I say: How can it end when Allah, the Exalted, said: 'And a caller will call out among them: The curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers'? But the meaning is: He has the curse in this world, and when the Day of Judgment comes, what is associated with the curse will make him forget the curse, as if it has ended.
