15. Hixhr · verses 27–37

وَٱلۡجَآنَّ خَلَقۡنَٰهُ مِن قَبۡلُ مِن نَّارِ ٱلسَّمُومِ

Waaljanna khalaqnahu min qablu min nari alssamoomi

And the Jinn race, We had created before, from the fire of a scorching wind.

وَإِذۡ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّي خَٰلِقُۢ بَشَرٗا مِّن صَلۡصَٰلٖ مِّنۡ حَمَإٖ مَّسۡنُونٖ

Waith qala rabbuka lilmalaikati innee khaliqun basharan min salsalin min hamain masnoonin

Behold! thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man, from sounding clay from mud moulded into shape;

فَإِذَا سَوَّيۡتُهُۥ وَنَفَخۡتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُواْ لَهُۥ سَٰجِدِينَ

Faitha sawwaytuhu wanafakhtu feehi min roohee faqaAAoo lahu sajideena

"When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him."

فَسَجَدَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعُونَ

Fasajada almalaikatu kulluhum ajmaAAoona

So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together:

إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ أَبَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ

Illa ibleesa aba an yakoona maAAa alssajideena

Not so Iblis: he refused to be among those who prostrated themselves.

قَالَ يَٰٓإِبۡلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ

Qala ya ibleesu ma laka alla takoona maAAa alssajideena

(Allah) said: "O Iblis! what is your reason for not being among those who prostrated themselves?"

قَالَ لَمۡ أَكُن لِّأَسۡجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقۡتَهُۥ مِن صَلۡصَٰلٖ مِّنۡ حَمَإٖ مَّسۡنُونٖ

Qala lam akun liasjuda libasharin khalaqtahu min salsalin min hamain masnoonin

(Iblis) said: "I am not one to prostrate myself to man, whom Thou didst create from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape."

قَالَ فَٱخۡرُجۡ مِنۡهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٞ

Qala faokhruj minha fainnaka rajeemun

(Allah) said: "Then get thee out from here; for thou art rejected, accursed.

وَإِنَّ عَلَيۡكَ ٱللَّعۡنَةَ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ

Wainna AAalayka allaAAnata ila yawmi alddeeni

"And the curse shall be on thee till the day of Judgment."

قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرۡنِيٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ

Qala rabbi faanthirnee ila yawmi yubAAathoona

(Iblis) said: "O my Lord! give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are raised."

قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنظَرِينَ

Qala fainnaka mina almunthareena

(Allah) said: "Respite is granted thee
