“We would never punish until We had sent a messenger.”

[Surah al-Isrāʾ: 15]

And He Most High says concerning the Fire:

“Whenever a group is cast into it, its keepers will ask them, ‘Did no warner come to you?’ They will reply, ‘Yes, a warner did come to us, but we denied him and said, “Allah has revealed nothing. You are only in grave error.”’”

Allah Most High also said to Iblis:

“I will surely fill Hell with you and with all those among them who follow you.”

[Surah Sād: 85]

His followers are only those who obey him; therefore, whoever commits no sin has not obeyed him and is not among those with whom the Fire will be filled(2). Once it has been filled with his followers, there will be no room in it for anyone else.

That is, it will say, “Enough for me
