[15:16]
And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of
the stars, and We have beautified it for beholders.
[15:17]
And We have guarded it
from every outcast devil,
[15:18]
Save him who stealeth the hearing, and them doth
a clear flame pursue.
[15:19]
And the earth have We
spread out, and placed therein firm hills, and caused each seemly thing to grow
therein.
[15:20]
And we have given unto you livelihoods therein,
and unto those for whom ye provide not.
[15:21]
And there is not a thing but with Us are the stores thereof. And we send it not down save in
appointed measure.
[15:22]
And We send the winds fertilising,
and cause water to descend from the sky, and give it you to drink. It is not ye
who are the holders of the store thereof.
[15:23]
Lo! and it is We, even
We, Who quicken and give death, and We are the Inheritor.
[15:24]
And verily We know the
eager among you and verily We know the laggards.
[15:25]
Lo! thy Lord will
gather them together. Lo! He is Wise, Aware.
[15:26]
Verily We created man
of potter’s clay of black mud altered,
[15:27]
And the jinn did We
create aforetime of essential fire.
[15:28]
And (remember) when thy Lord said unto the
angels: Lo! I am creating a mortal out of potter’s clay of black mud altered,
[15:29]
So, when I have made him and have breathed into
him of My Spirit, do ye fall down, prostrating yourselves unto him.
[15:30]
So the angels fell prostrate, all of them
together
[15:31]
Save Iblis. He refused to be among the
prostrate.
