Bowing to Adam

And when We commanded the angels, 'Bow before Adam,' they all obeyed except Iblis, who refused and acted arrogantly, becoming one of the disbelievers.

2:34And when We said unto the angels: Prostrate yourselves before Adam, they fell prostrate, all save Iblis. He demurred through pride, and so became a disbeliever.

7:11And We created you, then fashioned you, then told the angels: Fall ye prostrate before Adam! And they fell prostrate, all save Iblis, who was not of those who make prostration.

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

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

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

17:61And when We said unto the angels: Fall down prostrate before Adam and they fell prostrate all save Iblis, he said: Shall I fall prostrate before that which Thou hast created of clay?

18:50And (remember) when We said unto the angels: Fall prostrate before Adam, and they fell prostrate, all save Iblis. He was of the jinn, so he rebelled against his Lord's command. Will ye choose him and his seed for your protecting friends instead of Me, when they are an enemy unto you? Calamitous is the exchange for evil-doers.

20:116And when We said unto the angels: Fall prostrate before Adam, they fell prostrate (all) save Iblis; he refused.

38:72And when I have fashioned him and breathed into him of My Spirit, then fall down before him prostrate,

38:73The angels fell down prostrate, every one,

38:74Saving Iblis; he was scornful and became one of the disbelievers.

Allah said, "O Iblis, what prevented you from prostrating to what I created with My own hands? Were you too proud, or were you among the exalted?"

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

38:75He said: O Iblis! What hindereth thee from falling prostrate before that which I have created with both My hands? Art thou too proud or art thou of the high exalted?

He replied, "I am better than him. You created me from fire, and him from clay."

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!

17:61And when We said unto the angels: Fall down prostrate before Adam and they fell prostrate all save Iblis, he said: Shall I fall prostrate before that which Thou hast created of clay?

38:76He said: I am better than him. Thou createdst me of fire, whilst him Thou didst create of clay.

Allah said, "Then leave, for you are accursed."

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

38:77He said: Go forth from hence, for lo! thou art outcast,

"And My curse is upon you until the Day of Judgment."

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

38:78And lo! My curse is on thee till the Day of Judgment.

He said, “Do You see this one whom You have honoured above me? If You delay me until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely lead his descendants astray, except a few.”

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

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,

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

17:62He said: Seest Thou this (creature) whom Thou hast honoured above me, if Thou give me grace until the Day of Resurrection I verily will seize his seed, save but a few.

38:79He said: My Lord! Reprieve me till the day when they are raised.

38:82He said: Then, by Thy might, I surely will beguile them every one,

38:83Save Thy single-minded slaves among them.

Allah said, “You are granted respite.”

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

38:80He said: Lo! thou art of those reprieved

“Until the appointed time.”

15:38Till the Day of appointed time.

38:81Until the day of the time appointed.

He was of the jinn and defied his Lord’s command. Will you then take him and his descendants as allies instead of Me, though they are your enemies? What a miserable exchange for the wrongdoers!

18:50And (remember) when We said unto the angels: Fall prostrate before Adam, and they fell prostrate, all save Iblis. He was of the jinn, so he rebelled against his Lord's command. Will ye choose him and his seed for your protecting friends instead of Me, when they are an enemy unto you? Calamitous is the exchange for evil-doers.

Iblis said, "By Your might, I will surely mislead them all."

38:82He said: Then, by Thy might, I surely will beguile them every one,

"Except Your chosen servants."

38:83Save Thy single-minded slaves among them.

Allah said, "The truth is what I say."

38:84He said: The Truth is, and the Truth I speak,

"I will fill Hell with you and all who follow you."

38:85That I shall fill hell with thee and with such of them as follow thee, together.

Allah said, “This is the straight path leading to Me.”

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

“You will have no authority over My servants, except those who willingly follow you in error.”

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