وَقَالُوا۟ مَا لَنَا لَا نَرَىٰ رِجَالًا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ ۝٦٢

38:62 And they say: What aileth us that we behold not men whom we were wont to count among the wicked?

أَتَّخَذْنَـٰهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا أَمْ زَاغَتْ عَنْهُمُ ٱلْأَبْصَـٰرُ ۝٦٣

38:63 Did we take them (wrongly) for a laughing-stock, or have our eyes missed them?

إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَحَقٌّ تَخَاصُمُ أَهْلِ ٱلنَّارِ ۝٦٤

38:64 Lo! that is very truth: the wrangling of the dwellers in the Fire.

قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ مُنذِرٌ ۖ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَـٰهٍ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ ٱلْوَٰحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّارُ ۝٦٥

38:65 Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I am only a warner, and there is no Allah save Allah, the One, the Absolute,

رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفَّـٰرُ ۝٦٦

38:66 Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the Mighty, the Pardoning.

قُلْ هُوَ نَبَؤٌا۟ عَظِيمٌ ۝٦٧

38:67 Say: It is tremendous tidings

أَنتُمْ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضُونَ ۝٦٨

38:68 Whence ye turn away!

مَا كَانَ لِىَ مِنْ عِلْمٍۭ بِٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰٓ إِذْ يَخْتَصِمُونَ ۝٦٩

38:69 I had no knowledge of the Highest Chiefs when they disputed;

إِن يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ إِلَّآ أَنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ۝٧٠

38:70 It is revealed unto me only that I may be a plain warner.

إِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى خَـٰلِقٌۢ بَشَرًا مِّن طِينٍ ۝٧١

38:71 When thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am about to create a mortal out of mire,

فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُۥ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِى فَقَعُوا۟ لَهُۥ سَـٰجِدِينَ ۝٧٢

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

فَسَجَدَ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ ۝٧٣

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

إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ ٱسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ۝٧٤

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

قَالَ يَـٰٓإِبْلِيسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَن تَسْجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقْتُ بِيَدَىَّ ۖ أَسْتَكْبَرْتَ أَمْ كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْعَالِينَ ۝٧٥

38:75 He 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?

قَالَ أَنَا۠ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ ۖ خَلَقْتَنِى مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن طِينٍ ۝٧٦

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

قَالَ فَٱخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ ۝٧٧

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

وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ لَعْنَتِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ۝٧٨

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

قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرْنِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ۝٧٩

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

قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنظَرِينَ ۝٨٠

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

إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْوَقْتِ ٱلْمَعْلُومِ ۝٨١

38:81 Until the day of the time appointed.

قَالَ فَبِعِزَّتِكَ لَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ۝٨٢

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

إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ۝٨٣

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