AlQuran.My

It is We Who have set out the zodiacal signs in the heavens, and made them fair-seeming to (all) beholders;

And (moreover) We have guarded them from every evil spirit accursed:

But any that gains a hearing by stealth, is pursued by a flaming fire, bright (to see).

And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon mountains firm and immovable; and produced therein all kinds of things in due balance.

And We have provided therein means of subsistence,- for you and for those for whose sustenance ye are not responsible.

And there is not a thing but its (sources and) treasures (inexhaustible) are with Us; but We only send down thereof in due and ascertainable measures.

And We send the fecundating winds, then cause the rain to descend from the sky, therewith providing you with water (in abundance), though ye are not the guardians of its stores.

And verily, it is We Who give life, and Who give death: it is We Who remain inheritors (after all else passes away).

To Us are known those of you who hasten forward, and those who lag behind.

Assuredly it is thy Lord Who will gather them together: for He is perfect in Wisdom and Knowledge.

We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape;

And the Jinn race, We had created before, from the fire of a scorching wind.

Behold! thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man, from sounding clay from mud moulded into shape;

"When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him."

So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together:

Not so Iblis: he refused to be among those who prostrated themselves.
