Translation of page 457
- 38:62
And they will say, "Why do we not see men whom we used to count among the worst?
- 38:63
Is it [because] we took them in ridicule, or has [our] vision turned away from them?"
- 38:64
Indeed, that is truth [i.e., reality] - the quarreling of the people of the Fire.
- 38:65
Say, [O Muḥammad], "I am only a warner, and there is not any deity except Allāh, the One, the Prevailing,
- 38:66
Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver."
- 38:67
Say, "It is great news
- 38:68
From which you turn away.
- 38:69
I had no knowledge of the exalted assembly [of angels] when they were disputing [the creation of Adam].
- 38:70
It has not been revealed to me except that I am a clear warner."
- 38:71
[So mention] when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I am going to create a human being from clay.
- 38:72
So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."
- 38:73
So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely,
- 38:74
Except Iblees; he was arrogant and became among the disbelievers.
- 38:75
[Allāh] said, "O Iblees, what prevented you from prostrating to that which I created with My hands? Were you arrogant [then], or were you [already] among the haughty?"
- 38:76
He said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."
- 38:77
[Allāh] said, "Then get out of it [i.e., Paradise], for indeed, you are expelled.
- 38:78
And indeed, upon you is My curse until the Day of Recompense."
- 38:79
He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."
- 38:80
[Allāh] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved
- 38:81
Until the Day of the time well-known."
- 38:82
[Iblees] said, "By Your might, I will surely mislead them all
- 38:83
Except, among them, Your chosen servants."
