Surah Al-Araf [7:11-25] We initiated your creation, then We gave you each a shape, and then We said to the angels : Prostrate yourselves before Adam. They all prostrated themselves except Iblis. he was not one of those who fell prostrate. Allah : What prevented you from prostrating yourself when I commanded you to do so? Iblis : I am better than he. You created me from fire, and him You created from clay. Allah : Then get you down from here. It does not behove you to be arrogant here. So be gone. You will be among the humiliated. Satan : Give me respite till the Day they shall be raised. Allah : You are granted respite. Satan : Since You have caused me to come to this end, I shall surely sit in ambush for them on Your Straight Path. Then I will come upon them from the front and from the rear, and from their right and from their left. And You will not find most of them thankful. Allah : Go away from here - disgraced and banished. I shall fill the Hell with all those that follow you. O Adam! Live you and your spouse in the Garden and both of you eat from it wherever you will, but never approach this tree or you shall become wrong-doers. But Satan made an evil suggestion to both of them that he might reveal to them their shame that had remained hidden from them. Satan : Your Lord has forbidden you to approach this tree only to prevent you from becoming angels or immortal. Surely I am your sincere well-wisher. Thus Satan brought about their fall by deceit. And when they tasted of the tree, their shame became visible to them, and both began to cover themselves with leaves from the Garden. Then their Lord called out to them : Did I not forbid you from that tree, and did I not warn you that Satan is your open enemy? Both cried out : Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You do not forgive us and do not have mercy on us, we shall surely be among the losers. Allah : Go down; you are enemies one of the other. For you there is dwelling and provision on the earth for a while. You shall live there, and there shall you die, and from it you shall be raised to life.
