The Tyrant, The Evil, The Devil
لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ ۖ قَدْ تَبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ ۚ فَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىٰ لَا انْفِصَامَ لَهَا ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ {256}
There is no compulsion in the Religion; the right way has been clarified from the error. Therefore the one who disbelieves in the tyrant and believes in Allah, so he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold, there would be no breaking for it; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing [2:256]
فِي مَجْمَعِ الْبَيَانِ «فَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ» وَ قِيلَ فِيهِ خَمْسَةُ أَقْوَالٍ أَحَدُهَا أَنَّهُ الشَّيْطَانُ وَ هُوَ الْمَرْوِيُّ عَنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ
In Majma Al-Bayan – Therefore the one who disbelieves in the tyrant [2:256] – ‘And five things are said with regards to it, and one of them is that he (the tyrant) is the Satan-la, and it is reported from Abu Abdullah-asws’.[1]
