Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

Chapter 15, Page 264, Juz 14

26. We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape; 27. And the Jinn race, We had created before, from the fire of a scorching wind. 28. Behold! thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man, from sounding clay from mud moulded into shape; 29. "When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him." 30. So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together: 31. Not so Iblis: he refused to be among those who prostrated themselves. 32. (Allah) said: "O Iblis! what is your reason for not being among those who prostrated themselves?" 33. (Iblis) said: "I am not one to prostrate myself to man, whom Thou didst create from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape." 34. (Allah) said: "Then get thee out from here; for thou art rejected, accursed. 35. "And the curse shall be on thee till the day of Judgment." 36. (Iblis) said: "O my Lord! give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are raised." 37. (Allah) said: "Respite is granted thee 38. "Till the Day of the Time appointed." 39. (Iblis) said: "O my Lord! because Thou hast put me in the wrong, I will make (wrong) fair-seeming to them on the earth, and I will put them all in the wrong,- 40. "Except Thy servants among them, sincere and purified (by Thy Grace)." 41. (Allah) said: "This (way of My sincere servants) is indeed a way that leads straight to Me. 42. "For over My servants no authority shalt thou have, except such as put themselves in the wrong and follow thee." 43. And verily, Hell is the promised abode for them all! 44. To it are seven gates: for each of those gates is a (special) class (of sinners) assigned.

- A. Yusuf Ali
