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

إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡوَقۡتِ ٱلۡمَعۡلُومِ

Ila yawmi alwaqti almaAAloomi

"Till the Day of the Time appointed."

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَغۡوَيۡتَنِي لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَأُغۡوِيَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

Qala rabbi bima aghwaytanee laozayyinanna lahum fee alardi walaoghwiyannahum ajmaAAeena

(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,-

إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنۡهُمُ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

Illa AAibadaka minhumu almukhlaseena

"Except Thy servants among them, sincere and purified (by Thy Grace)."

قَالَ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ عَلَيَّ مُسۡتَقِيمٌ

Qala hatha siratun AAalayya mustaqeemun

(Allah) said: "This (way of My sincere servants) is indeed a way that leads straight to Me.

إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيۡسَ لَكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٌ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡغَاوِينَ

Inna AAibadee laysa laka AAalayhim sultanun illa mani ittabaAAaka mina alghaweena

"For over My servants no authority shalt thou have, except such as put themselves in the wrong and follow thee."

وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوۡعِدُهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

Wainna jahannama lamawAAiduhum ajmaAAeena

And verily, Hell is the promised abode for them all!

لَهَا سَبۡعَةُ أَبۡوَٰبٖ لِّكُلِّ بَابٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ جُزۡءٞ مَّقۡسُومٌ

Laha sabAAatu abwabin likulli babin minhum juzon maqsoomun

To it are seven gates: for each of those gates is a (special) class (of sinners) assigned.
