[A Dialogue Between Allah And Syaitan]

وَإِذۡ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕكَةِ إِنِّى خَـٰلِقُۢ بَشَرً۬ا مِّن صَلۡصَـٰلٍ۬ مِّنۡ حَمَإٍ۬ مَّسۡنُونٍ۬

Recall when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to create a human being from a ringing clay made of decayed mud. (28) 

فَإِذَا سَوَّيۡتُهُ ۥ وَنَفَخۡتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِى فَقَعُواْ لَهُ ۥ سَـٰجِدِينَ

When I form him perfect, and blow in him of My spirit, then you must fall down before him in prostration.” (29)

 

فَسَجَدَ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕكَةُ ڪُلُّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعُونَ

So the angels prostrated themselves, all together, (30)

إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ أَبَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ

Except Iblis (Satan). He refused to join those who prostrated. (31) 

قَالَ يَـٰٓإِبۡلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ

He (Allah) said, “O Iblis, what is the matter with you that you did not join those who prostrated?” (32) 

قَالَ لَمۡ أَكُن لِّأَسۡجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقۡتَهُ ۥ مِن صَلۡصَـٰلٍ۬ مِّنۡ حَمَإٍ۬ مَّسۡنُونٍ۬

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.” (33) 

قَالَ فَٱخۡرُجۡ مِنۡہَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ۬

He said, “Then, get out of here, for you are an outcast, (34) 

وَإِنَّ عَلَيۡكَ ٱللَّعۡنَةَ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ 

And upon you is the curse up to the Day of Judgment.” (35) 

قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرۡنِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ

He said, “My Lord, then give me respite up to the day they (the dead) shall be raised.” 8 (36) 

قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنظَرِينَ

He (Allah) said, “Well, respite is given to you (37) 

إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡوَقۡتِ ٱلۡمَعۡلُومِ

Till the day of the Appointed Time.” (38) 

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَغۡوَيۡتَنِى لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمۡ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَأُغۡوِيَنَّہُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

He said, “My Lord, since You made me go astray, 9 I swear that I shall beautify for them (evils) on the earth, and shall lead all of them astray, (39) 

إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنۡہُمُ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ 

Except those of Your servants from among them who are chosen (by You).” (40) 

قَالَ هَـٰذَا صِرَٲطٌ عَلَىَّ مُسۡتَقِيمٌ

He (Allah) said, “This is the straight path leading to Me (that a person is chosen by Me through his good deeds). (41) 

إِنَّ عِبَادِى لَيۡسَ لَكَ عَلَيۡہِمۡ سُلۡطَـٰنٌ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡغَاوِينَ 

My servants are such that you have no power over them except those of the deviators who will follow you. (42) 

وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوۡعِدُهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

And Jahannam (Hell) is the promised place for them all. (43) 

هَا سَبۡعَةُ أَبۡوَٲبٍ۬ لِّكُلِّ بَابٍ۬ مِّنۡہُمۡ جُزۡءٌ۬ مَّقۡسُومٌ

It has seven gates. For each gate there is a group apportioned from them.” (44) 

نَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ۬ وَعُيُونٍ

Surely, the God-fearing will be in gardens and streams: (45) 

ٱدۡخُلُوهَا بِسَلَـٰمٍ ءَامِنِينَ

Enter here in peace, free of fear.” (46) 

وَنَزَعۡنَا مَا فِى صُدُورِهِم مِّنۡ غِلٍّ إِخۡوَٲنًا عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ۬ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ

We shall have removed whatever grudge they had in their hearts, (thus making them) brothers, sitting on couches, face to face. (47) 

لَا يَمَسُّهُمۡ فِيهَا نَصَبٌ۬ وَمَا هُم مِّنۡہَا بِمُخۡرَجِينَ

No weariness shall touch them nor will they be expelled from there. (48) 

نَبِّئۡ عِبَادِىٓ أَنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Tell My servants that I am the Most-Forgiving, the Very-Merciful (49) 

وَأَنَّ عَذَابِى هُوَ ٱلۡعَذَابُ ٱلۡأَلِيمُ

And that My punishment is the painful punishment, (50)
