واذ قلنا للملائكة اسجدوا لادم فسجدوا الا ابليس كان من الجن ففسق عن امر ربه افتتخذونه وذريته اولياء من دوني وهم لكم عدو بئس للظالمين بدلا

Behold! We said To the angels, "Bow down To Adam": they bowed down Except Iblīs. He was One of the Jinns, and he Broke the Command Of his Lord. Will ye then take him And his progeny as protectors Rather than Me? And they Are enemies to you! Evil would be the exchange For the wrong-doers!
