Allah asked, “O Iblîs! What is the matter with you that you did not join others in prostration?”
15:32
He replied, “It is not for me to prostrate to a human You created from sounding clay moulded from black mud.”
15:33
Allah commanded, “Then get out of Paradise, for you are truly cursed.
15:34
And surely upon you is condemnation until the Day of Judgment.”
15:35
Satan appealed, “My Lord! Then delay my end until the Day of their resurrection.”
15:36
Allah said, “You will be delayed
15:37
until the appointed Day.”
15:38
Satan responded, “My Lord! For allowing me to stray I will surely tempt them on earth and mislead them all together,
15:39
except Your chosen servants among them.”
15:40
Allah said, “This is the Way, binding on Me:
15:41
you will certainly have no authority over My servants, except the deviant who follow you,
15:42
and surely Hell is their destined place, all together.
15:43
It has seven gates, to each a group of them is designated.”
15:44
Indeed, the righteous will be amid Gardens and springs.
15:45
˹It will be said to them,˺ “Enter in peace and security.”
15:46
We will remove whatever bitterness they had in their hearts.1 In a friendly manner, they will be on thrones, facing one another.
15:47
No fatigue will touch them there, nor will they ever be asked to leave.
15:48
Inform My servants ˹O Prophet˺ that I am truly the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful,
15:49
and that My torment is indeed the most painful.
15:50
And inform them ˹O Prophet˺ about Abraham’s guests
15:51
