فَإِذا سَوَّيتُهُ وَنَفَختُ فيهِ مِن روحي فَقَعوا لَهُ ساجِدينَ

And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."

فَسَجَدَ المَلائِكَةُ كُلُّهُم أَجمَعونَ

So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely,

إِلّا إِبليسَ أَبىٰ أَن يَكونَ مَعَ السّاجِدينَ

Except Iblees, he refused to be with those who prostrated.

قالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ المُنظَرينَ

إِلىٰ يَومِ الوَقتِ المَعلومِ

قالَ رَبِّ بِما أَغوَيتَني لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُم فِي الأَرضِ وَلَأُغوِيَنَّهُم أَجمَعينَ

[Iblees] said, "My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make [disobedience] attractive to them on earth, and I will mislead them all
