Surah Al-Hijr

وَإِنمِّنشَىْءٍإِلَّاعِندَنَاخَزَآئِنُهُۥوَمَانُنَزِّلُهُۥٓإِلَّابِقَدَرٍۢمَّعْلُومٍۢ

For, no single thing exists that does not have its source with Us; and nought do We bestow from on high unless it be in accordance with a measure well-defined.

وَأَرْسَلْنَاٱلرِّيَٰحَلَوَٰقِحَفَأَنزَلْنَامِنَٱلسَّمَآءِمَآءًۭفَأَسْقَيْنَٰكُمُوهُوَمَآأَنتُمْلَهُۥبِخَٰزِنِينَ

And We let loose the winds to fertilize [plants] and We send down water from the skies and let you drink thereof: and it is not you who dispose of its source-

وَإِنَّالَنَحْنُنُحْىِۦوَنُمِيتُوَنَحْنُٱلْوَٰرِثُونَ

for, behold, it is We-We alone -who grant life and deal death, and it is We alone who shall remain after all else will have passed away!

وَلَقَدْعَلِمْنَاٱلْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَمِنكُمْوَلَقَدْعَلِمْنَاٱلْمُسْتَـْٔخِرِينَ

And well do We know [the hearts and deeds of all human beings - both] those who lived before you and those who will come after you;

وَإِنَّرَبَّكَهُوَيَحْشُرُهُمْإِنَّهُۥحَكِيمٌعَلِيمٌۭ

and, behold, it is thy Sustainer who will gather them all together [on Judgment Day]: verily, He is wise, all-knowing!

وَلَقَدْخَلَقْنَاٱلْإِنسَٰنَمِنصَلْصَٰلٍۢمِّنْحَمَإٍۢمَّسْنُونٍۢ

AND, INDEED, We have created man out of sounding clay, out of dark-slime transmuted

وَٱلْجَآنَّخَلَقْنَٰهُمِنقَبْلُمِننَّارِٱلسَّمُومِ

whereas the invisible beings We had created, [long] before that, out of the fire of scorching winds.

وَإِذْقَالَرَبُّكَلِلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِإِنِّىخَٰلِقٌۢبَشَرًۭامِّنصَلْصَٰلٍۢمِّنْحَمَإٍۢمَّسْنُونٍۢ

And lo! Thy Sustainer said unto the angels: "Behold, I am about to create mortal man out of sounding clay, out of dark slime transmuted;

فَإِذَاسَوَّيْتُهُۥوَنَفَخْتُفِيهِمِنرُّوحِىفَقَعُوا۟لَهُۥسَٰجِدِينَ

and when I have formed him fully and breathed into him of My spirit, fall down before him in prostration!

فَسَجَدَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُكُلُّهُمْأَجْمَعُونَ

Thereupon the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together,

إِلَّآإِبْلِيسَأَبَىٰٓأَنيَكُونَمَعَٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ

save Iblis: he refused to be among those who prostrated themselves.

قَالَيَٰٓإِبْلِيسُمَالَكَأَلَّاتَكُونَمَعَٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ

Said He: "O Iblis! What is thy reason for not being among those who have prostrated themselves?"

قَالَلَمْأَكُنلِّأَسْجُدَلِبَشَرٍخَلَقْتَهُۥمِنصَلْصَٰلٍۢمِّنْحَمَإٍۢمَّسْنُونٍۢ

[Iblis] replied: "It is not for me to prostrate myself before mortal man whom Thou hast created out of sounding clay, out of dark slime transmuted!"

قَالَفَٱخْرُجْمِنْهَافَإِنَّكَرَجِيمٌۭ

Said He: "Go forth, then, from this [angelic state]: for, behold, thou art [henceforth] accursed,

وَإِنَّعَلَيْكَٱللَّعْنَةَإِلَىٰيَوْمِٱلدِّينِ

and [My] rejection shall be thy due until the Day of Judgment!"

قَالَرَبِّفَأَنظِرْنِىٓإِلَىٰيَوْمِيُبْعَثُونَ

Said [Iblis]: "Then, O my Sustainer, grant me a respite till the Day when all shall be raised from the dead!"

قَالَفَإِنَّكَمِنَٱلْمُنظَرِينَ

Answered He: "Verily, so be it: thou shalt be among those who are granted respite

إِلَىٰيَوْمِٱلْوَقْتِٱلْمَعْلُومِ

till the Day the time whereof is known [to Me alone]."

قَالَرَبِّبِمَآأَغْوَيْتَنِىلَأُزَيِّنَنَّلَهُمْفِىٱلْأَرْضِوَلَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْأَجْمَعِينَ

[Whereupon Iblis] said: "O my Sustainer! Since Thou hast thwarted me, I shall indeed make [all that is evil] on earth seem goodly to them, and shall most certainly beguile them-into grievous error -

إِلَّاعِبَادَكَمِنْهُمُٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

[all] save such of them as are truly Thy servants!"
