17 And We guard it against every accursed devil, |
18 But he who steals a hearing; so there follows him a visible flame. |
19 And the earth — We have spread it out and made in it firm mountains and caused to grow in it of every suitable thing. |
20 And We have made in it means of subsistence for you and for him for whom you provide not. |
21 And there is not a thing but with Us are the treasures of it, and We send it not down but in a known measure. |
22 And We send the winds fertilizing, then send down water from the clouds, so We give it to you to drink; nor is it you who store it up. |
23 And surely it is We, Who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritors. |
24 And certainly We know those among you who go forward and We certainly know those who lag behind. |
25 And surely thy Lord will gather them together. He indeed is Wise, Knowing. |
26 And surely We created man of sounding clay, of black mud fashioned into shape. |
27 And the jinn, We created before of intensely hot fire. |
28 And when thy Lord said to the angels: I am going to create a mortal of sounding clay, of black mud fashioned into shape. |
29 So when I have made him complete and breathed into him of My spirit, fall down making obeisance to him. |
30 So the angels made obeisance, all of them together — |
31 But Iblīs (did it not). He refused to be with those who made obeisance. |
32 He said: O Iblīs, what is the reason that thou art not with those who make obeisance? |
33 He said: I am not going to make obeisance to a mortal, whom Thou hast created of sounding clay, of black mud fashioned into shape. |
34 He said: Then go forth, for surely thou art driven away, |
35 And surely on thee is a curse till the day of Judgment. |
