وَقَالُوا مَا لَنَا لَا نَرَىٰ رِجَالًا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُمْ مِنَ الْأَشْرَارِ62
They will say, ‘Why do we not see those we thought were bad
أَتَّخَذْنَاهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا أَمْ زَاغَتْ عَنْهُمُ الْأَبْصَارُ63
and took as a laughing-stock? Have our eyes missed them?’
إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَحَقٌّ تَخَاصُمُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ64
This is how it will really be: the inhabitants of the Fire will blame one another in this way
قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا مُنْذِرٌ ۖ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَـٰهٍ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ65
[Prophet] say, ‘I am only here to give warning. There is no god but God the One, the All Powerful
رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفَّارُ66
Lord of the heavens and earth and everything between, the Almighty, the Most Forgiving.’
قُلْ هُوَ نَبَأٌ عَظِيمٌ67
Say, ‘This message is a mighty one
أَنْتُمْ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضُونَ68
yet you ignore it
مَا كَانَ لِيَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ بِالْمَلَإِ الْأَعْلَىٰ إِذْ يَخْتَصِمُونَ69
I have no knowledge of what those on high discuss
إِنْ يُوحَىٰ إِلَيَّ إِلَّا أَنَّمَا أَنَا نَذِيرٌ مُبِينٌ70
it is only revealed to me that I am here to give clear warning.’
إِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنِّي خَالِقٌ بَشَرًا مِنْ طِينٍ71
Your Lord said to the angels, ‘I will create a man from clay
فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِنْ رُوحِي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ72
When I have shaped him and breathed from My Spirit into him, bow down before him.’
فَسَجَدَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ73
The angels all bowed down together
إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ اسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ74
but not Iblis, who was too proud. He became a rebel
قَالَ يَا إِبْلِيسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقْتُ بِيَدَيَّ ۖ أَسْتَكْبَرْتَ أَمْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الْعَالِينَ75
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?’
قَالَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ ۖ خَلَقْتَنِي مِنْ نَارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِنْ طِينٍ76
Iblis said, ‘I am better than him: You made me from fire, and him from clay.’
قَالَ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ77
‘Get out of here! You are rejected
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ لَعْنَتِي إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ78
My rejection will follow you till the Day of Judgement!’
قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنْظِرْنِي إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ79
but Iblis said, ‘My Lord, grant me respite until the Day when they are raised from the dead,’
قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنْظَرِينَ80
so He said, ‘You have respite
إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُومِ81
till the Appointed Day.’
قَالَ فَبِعِزَّتِكَ لَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ82
Iblis said, ‘I swear by Your might! I will tempt all
إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِينَ83
but Your true servants.’
