And they will say: "What is the matter with us that we see
not men whom we used to count among the bad ones?" (62) Did we take them as
an object of mockery, or have (our) eyes failed to perceive them?" (63) Verily, that is the
very truth, the mutual dispute of the people of the Fire! (64) Say (O Muhammad SAW):
"I am only a warner and there is no Ilâh (God) except Allâh (none has the
right to be worshipped but Allâh) the One, the Irresistible, (65) "The Lord of the
heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the All-Mighty, the
Oft-Forgiving." (66) Say: "That (this Qur'ân) is a great news, (67) "From which you
turn away! (68) "I had no knowledge of the chiefs (angels) on high when
they were disputing and discussing (about the creation of Adam). (69) "Only this has
been revealed to me, that I am a plain warner." (70) (Remember) when your
Lord said to the angels: "Truly, I am going to create man from clay"
(71) So when I have
fashioned him and breathed into him (his) soul created by Me, then you fall
down prostrate to him." (72) So the angels prostrated themselves, all of
them: (73) Except Iblîs (Satan) he was proud[] and was one of the
disbelievers. (74) (Allâh) said: "O Iblîs (Satan)! What prevents you from
prostrating yourself to one whom I have created with Both My Hands[]. Are you
too proud (to fall prostrate to Adam) or are you one of the high exalted?"
(75) [Iblîs (Satan)] said:
"I am better than he, You created me from fire, and You created him from
clay." (76) (Allâh) said: "Then get out from here, for verily, you are
outcast. (77) "And verily!, My Curse is on you till the Day of
Recompense." (78) [Iblîs (Satan)] said: "My Lord! Give me then respite
till the Day the (dead) are resurrected." (79) (Allâh) said:
"Verily! You are of those allowed respite (80) "Till the Day of
the time appointed." (81) [Iblîs (Satan)] said: "By Your Might,
then I will surely mislead them all, (82) "Except Your chosen slaves
amongst them (faithful, obedient, true believers of Islâmic Monotheism)."
