Arabic Qur'an with English Translation
Chapter 38: Sad
[74] Not so Iblis: he was haughty, and became one
of those who reject Faith.
[75] (Allah) said: "O Iblis! what prevents thee
from prostrating thyself to one whom I have created with My hands?
Art thou haughty? or art thou one of the high (and mighty) ones?"
[76] (Iblis) said: "I am better than he: Thou
createdst me from fire, and him thou createdst from clay."
[77] (Allah) said: "Then get thee out from here:
for thou art rejected, accursed.
[78] "And My Curse shall be on thee till the Day
of Judgment."
[79] (Iblis) said: "O my Lord! give me then
respite till the Day the (dead) are raised."
