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. |
