Is Shaitaan victorious?
Question
Iblees challenged that he would destroy us. In the end the number of people in Jahannam is greater than the number of Jannati. Is it his victory? Why the number is greater of Jahannami? What will happen to him is there any information about it?
Answer
The number is known best by Allah Ta`ala. And how can he be victorious when he himself will be crying and groaning in Jahannum.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
