Quran 15, Al-Hijr (City of Stone) ⓘ

15:26Verily We created man of potter's clay of black mud altered,

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِنْ حَمَإٍ مَسْنُونٍ

15:27And the jinn did We create aforetime of essential fire.

وَالْجَانَّ خَلَقْنَاهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ مِنْ نَارِ السَّمُومِ

15:28And (remember) when thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am creating a mortal out of potter's clay of black mud altered,

وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنِّي خَالِقٌ بَشَرًا مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِنْ حَمَإٍ مَسْنُونٍ

15:29So, when I have made him and have breathed into him of My Spirit, do ye fall down, prostrating yourselves unto him.

فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِنْ رُوحِي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ

15:30So the angels fell prostrate, all of them together

فَسَجَدَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ

15:31Save Iblis. He refused to be among the prostrate.

إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ أَبَى أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ

15:32He said: O Iblis! What aileth thee that thou art not among the prostrate?

قَالَ يَا إِبْلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ

15:33He said: I am not one to prostrate myself unto a mortal whom Thou hast created out of potter's clay of black mud altered!

قَالَ لَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِنْ حَمَإٍ مَسْنُونٍ

15:34He said: Then go thou forth from hence, for lo! thou art outcast.

قَالَ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ

15:35And lo! the curse shall be upon thee till the Day of Judgment.

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ اللَّعْنَةَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ

15:36He said: My Lord! Reprieve me till the day when they are raised.

قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنْظِرْنِي إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

15:37He said: Then lo! thou art of those reprieved

قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنْظَرِينَ

15:38Till the Day of appointed time.

إِلَى يَوْمِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُومِ

15:39He said: My Lord! Because Thou hast sent me astray, I verily shall adorn the path of error for them in the earth, and shall mislead them every one,

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَا أَغْوَيْتَنِي لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

15:40Save such of them as are Thy perfectly devoted slaves.

إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِينَ

15:41He said: This is a right course incumbent upon Me:

قَالَ هَذَا صِرَاطٌ عَلَيَّ مُسْتَقِيمٌ

15:42Lo! as for My slaves, thou hast no power over any of them save such of the froward as follow thee,

إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَانٌ إِلَّا مَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْغَاوِينَ

15:43And lo! for all such, hell will be the promised place.

وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
