Chapter 38, Page 457, Juz 23

71. Your Lord said to the angels, ‘I will create a man from clay. 72. When I have shaped him and breathed from My Spirit into him, bow down before him.’ 73. The angels all bowed down together, 74. but not Iblis, who was too proud. He became a rebel. 75. God said, ‘Iblis, what prevents you from bowing down to the man I have made with My own hands? Are you too high and mighty?’ 76. Iblis said, ‘I am better than him: You made me from fire, and him from clay.’ 77. ‘Get out of here! You are rejected: 78. My rejection will follow you till the Day of Judgement!’ 79. but Iblis said, ‘My Lord, grant me respite until the Day when they are raised from the dead,’ 80. so He said, ‘You have respite 81. till the Appointed Day.’ 82. Iblis said, ‘I swear by Your might! I will tempt all 83. but Your true servants.’ 84. God said, ‘This is the truth- I speak only the truth- 85. I will fill Hell with you and all those that follow you.’ 86. [Prophet], say, ‘I ask no reward from you for this, nor do I claim to be what I am not: 87. this is only a warning for all people. 88. In time you will certainly come to know its truth.’
