Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

The Threat of Iblis to tempt Mankind, and Allah's Promise of Hell for him

Read in Context

Chapter 15, Page 264, Juz 14

26. Indeed We created man from a ringing clay made of decayed mud. 27. As for the Jānn (the first Jinn), We had created him earlier from the fire of the scorching wind. 28. Recall when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to create a human being from a ringing clay made of decayed mud. 29. When I form him perfect, and blow in him of My spirit, then you must fall down before him in prostration.” 30. So the angels prostrated themselves, all together, 31. except Iblīs (Satan). He refused to join those who prostrated. 32. He (Allah) said, “O Iblīs, what is the matter with you that you did not join those who prostrated?” 33. He said, “I am not such that I should prostrate myself before a mortal whom You have created from a ringing clay made of decayed mud.” 34. He said, “Then, get out of here, for you are an outcast, 35. and upon you is the curse up to the Day of Judgment.” 36. He said, “My Lord, then give me respite up to the day they (the dead) shall be raised.” 37. He (Allah) said, “Well, respite is given to you 38. till the day of the Appointed Time.” 39. He said, “My Lord, since You made me go astray, I swear that I shall beautify for them (evils) on the earth, and shall lead all of them astray, 40. except those of Your servants from among them who are chosen (by You).” 41. He (Allah) said, “This is the straight path leading to Me (that a person is chosen by Me through his good deeds). 42. My servants are such that you have no power over them except those of the deviators who will follow you. 43. And Jahannam (Hell) is the promised place for them all. 44. It has seven gates. For each gate there is a group apportioned from them.”
