62 And they say: What is the matter with us? — we see not men whom we used to count among the vicious.

63 Did we (only) take them in scorn, or do our eyes miss them?

64 That surely is the truth — the contending one with another of the inmates of the Fire.

65 Say: I am only a warner; and there is no God but Allāh, the One, the Subduer (of all) —

66 The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Mighty, the Forgiving.

67 Say: It is a message of importance,

68 From which you turn away.

69 I have no knowledge of the exalted chiefs when they contend.

70 Only this is revealed to me that I am a plain warner.

71 When thy Lord said to the angels: Surely I am going to create a mortal from dust.

72 So when I have made him complete and breathed into him of My spirit, fall down submitting to him.

73 And the angels submitted, all of them,

74 But not Iblīs. He was proud and he was one of the disbelievers.

75 He said: O Iblīs, what prevented thee from submitting to him whom I created with both My hands? Art thou proud or art thou of the exalted ones?

76 He said: I am better than he; Thou hast created me of fire, and him Thou didst create of dust.

77 He said: Go forth from hence! surely thou art driven away:

78 And surely My curse is on thee to the day of Judgment.

79 He said: My Lord, respite me to the day that they are raised.

80 He said: Surely thou art of the respited ones.

81 Till the day of the time made known.

82 He said: Then, by Thy Might! I will surely lead them all astray,

83 Except Thy servants from among them, the purified ones.
