Gotta love how Satan's only sin in the second chapter of the Quran was not bowing and worshipping Adam
You missed the plot.
Satan's sin was arrogance and not following a command of Allah.

“And surely, We created you (your father Adam) and then gave you shape (the noble shape of a human being); then We told the angels, ‘Prostrate yourselves to Adam’, and they prostrated themselves, except Iblees (Satan), he refused to be of those who prostrated themselves.

(Allaah) said: ‘What prevented you (O Iblees) that you did not prostrate yourself, when I commanded you?’ Iblees said: ‘I am better than him (Adam), You created me from fire, and him You created from clay’”


[al-A’raaf 7:11-12]

The party of Satan follow him in this characteristic they think they are better than us and dissuade people from following the guidance of the Creator.
Arrogance is key feature of Iblis (shaitan) and his cohorts in this world.
Arrogance leads people to reject the truth and look down on people.

May the Creator open your heart so you can know Him, and seek nearness to Him. Ameen!
It is a forbidden sentiment in Islam.

“Surely, Shaitan (Satan) is an enemy to you, so take (treat) him as an enemy. He only invites his Hizb (followers) that they may become the dwellers of the blazing Fire” (Surah Faatir 35:6).

“And if an evil whisper from Shaitan (waswasa) tries to turn you away (O Muhammad) (from doing good), then seek refuge in Allah. Verily, He is the All Hearer, the All Knower” (Quran, Surah Fussilat: 36).

“Verily, he and Qabiluhu (his soldiers from the jinn or his tribe) see you from where you cannot see them”
(Quran, Surah Al-Aaraf: 27).
“And Shaitan (Satan) will say when the matter has been decided: ‘Verily, Allah promised you a promise of truth. And I too promised you, but I betrayed you. I had no authority over you except that I called you, and you responded to me. So blame me not, but blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can you help me. I deny your former act in associating me (Satan) as a partner with Allah (by obeying me in the life of the world). Verily, there is a painful torment for the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers)’” (Quran, Surah Ibrahim: 22).

“(Iblis (Satan)) said: ‘By Your Might, then I will surely mislead them all. Except Your chosen slaves amongst them (i.e. faithful, obedient, true believers of Islamic Monotheism).’” (Quran, Surah Saad: 82-83).

“Certainly, you shall have no authority over My slaves, except those who follow you of the Ghawun (Mushrikun and those who go astray, criminals, polytheists, and evil-doers)” (Quran, Surah Al-Hijr: 42).

So Satan sinned by not worshipping Adam? Funny in Mormonism Adam was considered god.

Context for the wrongly numbered Quranic quote above
These are the verses about guidance in regards to divorce.
Women who divorce have to wait 3 monthly cycles before they remarry and if they are pregnant they have to wait till they deliver their child before they remarry.

65:1
O Prophet, when you [Muslims] divorce women, divorce them for [the commencement of] their waiting period and keep count of the waiting period, and fear Allah , your Lord. Do not turn them out of their [husbands'] houses, nor should they [themselves] leave [during that period] unless they are committing a clear immorality. And those are the limits [set by] Allah . And whoever transgresses the limits of Allah has certainly wronged himself. You know not; perhaps Allah will bring about after that a [different] matter.
65:2
And when they have [nearly] fulfilled their term, either retain them according to acceptable terms or part with them according to acceptable terms. And bring to witness two just men from among you and establish the testimony for [the acceptance of] Allah . That is instructed to whoever should believe in Allah and the Last day. And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out
65:3
And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent.
65:4
And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women - if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated. And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth. And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him of his matter ease.
65:5
That is the command of Allah , which He has sent down to you; and whoever fears Allah - He will remove for him his misdeeds and make great for him his reward.
65:6
Lodge them [in a section] of where you dwell out of your means and do not harm them in order to oppress them. And if they should be pregnant, then spend on them until they give birth. And if they breastfeed for you, then give them their payment and confer among yourselves in the acceptable way; but if you are in discord, then there may breastfeed for the father another woman.
65:1-6

Yes woman who divorce should wait three cyclic months, that's not the problem. The problem is it mentions little girls before their "flowering" so to speak. Why would it mention them in context of divorce and marrige? Hmmmm.

Say: "If your fathers and your sons and your brothers and your spouses and your clan, and the worldly goods which you have acquired,
and the commerce whereof you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which you take pleasure -
[if all these] are dearer to you than God and His Apostle and the struggle in His cause, then wait until God makes manifest His will;
and [know that] God does not grace iniquitous folk with His guidance."

We ask the Creator for the straight path 5 times a day in our prayers.
We ask for guidance daily. We are imperfect beings we need Him always.

I thought you thought I was a Christian. I used a gif before where a woman holding out a cross against her psychiatrist in my signature. I was thought to be a Christian, but there was a different joke.

Those who disbelieve and hinder ˹others˺ from the Way of Allah, He will render their deeds void.

As for those who believe, do good, and have faith in what has been revealed to Muḥammad—which is the truth from their Lord—He will absolve them of their sins and improve their condition.

This is because the disbelievers follow falsehood, while the believers follow the truth from their Lord. This is how Allah shows people their true state ˹of faith˺.

I understand that there will be no help (doomsday) from Allah unless humanity knows its enemies and gets organized and drives them away. God won't help forcibly retarded and ignorant humanity lazily waiting for someone else to be sacrificed for them.

Can we define Doomsday as people of faith standing up for Allah? It's always described as a global natural disaster. Maybe it's a concept based on sociology and politics?

(The reply to the query above is posted at the Islamic videos thread.)
“Those were they unto whom Allah bestowed His grace from among the Prophets,
of the offspring of Adam, and of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Nooh, and of the offspring of Ibrahim and Israel,
and from among those whom We guided and chose.
When the Verses of the Most Gracious (Allah) were recited unto them, they fell down prostrate and weeping” [19:58]
