Chapter 7, Page 151, Juz 8

11. We created you, then gave you a shape, then We said to the angels, “Prostrate yourselves before ’Ādam.” So, they all prostrated themselves, except Iblīs (Satan). He did not join those who fell prostrate. 12. Allah said, “What has prevented you from prostrating when I ordered you?” He said, “I am better than him. You have created me of fire, and created him of clay.” 13. He said, “Then, get you down from here, it is not for you to show arrogance here. So, get out. You are one of the degraded. 14. He said, “Then give me respite until a day when all will be resurrected. 15. He (Allah) said, “You are granted respite’’. 16. He said, “Now that You have led me astray, I will certainly sit for them (in ambush) on Your straight path. 17. Then I will come upon them from their front side and from their behind, and from their right and from their left. You will not find most of them grateful. 18. He (Allah) said, “Get out of here, condemned, rejected. Indeed, whosoever will follow you from among them, I will fill Hell with all of you together.
