Walaqad khalaqnakum thumma sawwarnakum thumma qulna lilmala-ikati osjudoo li-adama fasajadoo illa ibleesa lam yakun mina alssajideena\n11. It is We Who created you\n And gave you shape;\n Then We bade the angels\n Bow down to Adam, and they\n Bowed down; not so Ibl\u012bs;\n He refused to be of those\n Who bow down.\n12. Qala ma manaAAaka alla tasjuda ith amartuka qala ana khayrun minhu khalaqtanee min narin wakhalaqtahu min teenin\n12. (God) said: \"What prevented\n Thee from bowing down\n When I commanded thee?\"\n He said: \"I am better\n Than he: Thou didst create\n Me from fire, and him from clay.\"\n13. Qala faihbit minha fama yakoonu laka an tatakabbara feeha faokhruj innaka mina alssaghireena\n13. (God) said: \"Get thee down\n From this: it is not\n For thee to be arrogant\n Here: get out, for thou\n Art of the meanest (of creatures).\"\n14. Qala anthirnee ila yawmi yubAAathoona\n14. He said: \"Give me respite\n Till the day they are\n Raised up.\"\n15. Qala innaka mina almunthareena\n15. (God) said: \"Be thou\n Among those who have respite.\"\n16. Qala fabima aghwaytanee laaqAAudanna lahum sirataka almustaqeema\n16. He said: \"Because thou\n Hast thrown me out\n Of the Way, lo! I will\n Lie in wait for them\n On Thy Straight Way:\n17. Thumma laatiyannahum min bayni aydeehim wamin khalfihim waAAan aymanihim waAAan shama-ilihim wala tajidu aktharahum shakireena\n17. \"Then will I assault them\n From before them and behind them,\n From their right and their left:\n Nor wilt Thou find,\n In most of them,\n Gratitude (for Thy mercies).\n18. Qala okhruj minha mathooman madhooran laman tabiAAaka minhum laamlaanna jahannama minkum ajmaAAeena\n18. (God) said: \"Get out\n From this, disgraced\n And expelled. If any\n Of them follow thee,\u2014\n Hell will I fill\n With you all.\n19. Waya adamu oskun anta wazawjuka aljannata fakula min haythu shi/tuma wala taqraba hathihi alshshajarata fatakoona mina alththalimeena\n19. \"O Adam! dwell thou\n And thy wife in the Garden,\n And enjoy (its good things)\n As ye wish: but approach not\n This tree, or ye run\n Into harm and transgression.\"\n20. Fawaswasa lahuma alshshaytanu liyubdiya lahuma ma wooriya AAanhuma min saw-atihima waqala ma nahakuma rabbukuma AAan hathihi alshshajarati illa an takoona malakayni aw takoona mina alkhalideena\n20. Then began Satan to whisper\n Suggestions to them, bringing\n Openly before their minds\n All their shame\nThat was hidden from them\n (Before): he said: \"Your Lord\n Only forbade you this tree,\n Lest ye should become angels\n Or such beings as live for ever.\"\n21. Waqasamahuma innee lakuma lamina alnnasiheena\n21. And he swore to them\n Both, that he was\n Their sincere adviser.\n22. Fadallahuma bighuroorin falamma thaqa alshshajarata badat lahuma saw-atuhuma watafiqa yakhsifani AAalayhima min waraqi aljannati wanadahuma rabbuhuma alam anhakuma AAan tilkuma alshshajarati waaqul lakuma inna alshshaytana lakuma AAaduwwun mubeenun\n22. So by deceit he brought about\n Their fall: when they\n Tasted of the tree,\n Their shame became manifest\n To them, and they began\n To sew together the leaves\n Of the Garden over their bodies.\n And their Lord called\n Unto them: \"Did I not\n Forbid you that tree,\n And tell you that Satan\n Was an avowed\n Enemy unto you?\"\n23. Qala rabbana thalamna anfusana wa-in lam taghfir lana watarhamna lanakoonanna mina alkhasireena\n23. They said: \"Our Lord!\n We have wronged our own souls:\n If Thou forgive us not\n And bestow not upon us\n Thy Mercy, we shall\n Certainly be lost.\"\n24. Qala ihbitoo baAAdukum libaAAdin AAaduwwun walakum fee al-ardi mustaqarrun wamataAAun ila heenin\n24. (God) said: \"Get ye down,\n With enmity between yourselves.\n On earth will be your dwelling-place\n And your means of livelihood,\u2014\n For a time.\"\n25. Qala feeha tahyawna wafeeha tamootoona waminha tukhrajoona\n25. He said: \"Therein shall ye\n Live, and therein shall ye\n Die; but from it shall ye\n Be taken out (at last).\"","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra VII.: A\u2019r\u0101f, or the Heights: Section 2 (11-25)","type":"page"}
