And they said: “Oh sorcerer! Pray to your Lord for us according to the covenant you have with Him; indeed, we will be the guided ones.”
The disbelievers of every period were considering Adhikr from the Lord as sorcery and the Messenger as a sorcerer, and were not considering Adhikr as Guidance and the Messenger as Guide. The Fujjar of today have read verse 83: 7, which says that the Ledger of the Fujjar is in the Sijjeen of Hell; and verses 83: 34 and 83: 36, which say that Fujjar are the kuffar. It is told in verses 25: 33-34 that these wrongdoers—who, by rejecting Adhikr, are serving Satan—will be summoned into Hellfire prone on their faces; they are in the worst places and are the most strayed. See explanation 10: 60; 26: 33-37; and 61: 6-7.
