Recognition of Allah alone is not sufficient. As well as having recognition, we must also say to our Lord, "We hear and obey, Forgive us, O our Lord! To Yo is the final journey's end." (2:285) Iblis's recognition that Allah was One and had created everything did not help him at all. Recognition must be accompanied by submission to Allah's commands and striving to please Him. Failure to do this will result in being banished from Allah's mercy.
