فَلَنَقُصَّنَّ عَلَيۡهِم بِعِلۡمٖۖ وَمَا كُنَّا غَآئِبِينَ 7

7        Since We have full knowledge, so We will describe their full story (in the presence of everybody) and We were not absent (at the time and place of their activities).

وَٱلۡوَزۡنُ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡحَقُّۚ فَمَن ثَقُلَتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ 8

8        And on that Day (of Judge-ment) the true weighing (of actions and beliefs) will take place. Those whose scale (of belief) will be heavy, so they will be successful.

وَمَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِنَا يَظۡلِمُونَ 9

9        And those who pushed them-selves into a loss by rejecting Our revelations, their scales will be light.

وَلَقَدۡ مَكَّنَّٰكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَجَعَلۡنَا لَكُمۡ فِيهَا مَعَٰيِشَۗ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَشۡكُرُونَ 10

10        And, indeed, We gave you a place to live in the land and provided you with the means of livelihood of the life, yet little thanks you give.

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ ثُمَّ صَوَّرۡنَٰكُمۡ ثُمَّ قُلۡنَا لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسۡجُدُواْ لِأٓدَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓاْ إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ لَمۡ يَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ 11

11        And, surely; We created you [i.e. your father Adam ( peace be upon him )] and then We shaped you (note that the children of Adam ( peace be upon him ) have same shape as of Adam ( peace be upon him ), what an extraordinary invention!) then We ordered the angels: “Prostrate yourselves to Adam ( peace be upon him ).” So they prostrated except Satan. Satan was not one of those who prostrated.

قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلَّا تَسۡجُدَ إِذۡ أَمَرۡتُكَۖ قَالَ أَنَا۠ خَيۡرٞ مِّنۡهُ خَلَقۡتَنِي مِن نَّارٖ وَخَلَقۡتَهُۥ مِن طِينٖ 12

12        (Allah) said: “What prevented you to prostrate when I ordered you?” Satan said: “I am better than Adam ( peace be upon him ). You created me from fire and You created him from clay.”

قَالَ فَٱهۡبِطۡ مِنۡهَا فَمَا يَكُونُ لَكَ أَن تَتَكَبَّرَ فِيهَا فَٱخۡرُجۡ إِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰغِرِينَ 13

13        Allah said: “(O Satan) Get down from this (the Paradise). You are not supposed to be arrogant here. Hence, get out, since you are of those who are the meanest.”

قَالَ أَنظِرۡنِيٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ 14

14        Satan said: “Please grant me delay (in my punishment) till the Day of Resurrection.”

قَالَ إِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنظَرِينَ 15

15        Allah said: “You are granted this delay (due to some of My grand wisdom).”

قَالَ فَبِمَآ أَغۡوَيۡتَنِي لَأَقۡعُدَنَّ لَهُمۡ صِرَٰطَكَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ 16

16        Satan said: “Since You have led me astray, I shall, surely, sit on Your Straight Path (waiting for Adam ( peace be upon him ) and his children).

ثُمَّ لَأٓتِيَنَّهُم مِّنۢ بَيۡنِ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمِنۡ خَلۡفِهِمۡ وَعَنۡ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ وَعَن شَمَآئِلِهِمۡۖ وَلَا تَجِدُ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ شَٰكِرِينَ 17

17        “Then I shall attack them (from four directions) from their front and back as well as from their right and left, and You will not find most of them thankful to You (for Your favours).” (Also Surah Saba:20)

قَالَ ٱخۡرُجۡ مِنۡهَا مَذۡءُومٗا مَّدۡحُورٗاۖ لَّمَن تَبِعَكَ مِنۡهُمۡ لَأَمۡلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ 18

18        (Allah) said (to Satan); “Get out from the heavens, degraded and banished (i.e. expelled as punish-ment). Whoever (from man-kind) will follow you; I will definitely fill Hell with you all (this was part of the grand wisdom of Allah).” 

وَيَٰٓـَٔادَمُ ٱسۡكُنۡ أَنتَ وَزَوۡجُكَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ فَكُلَا مِنۡ حَيۡثُ شِئۡتُمَا وَلَا تَقۡرَبَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ 19

19        (And We commanded) “O Adam! You and your wife reside in Paradise and both of you eat from there as you wish, but don’t go near this tree otherwise both of you will be of the wrong-doers.”

فَوَسۡوَسَ لَهُمَا ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ لِيُبۡدِيَ لَهُمَا مَا وُۥرِيَ عَنۡهُمَا مِن سَوۡءَٰتِهِمَا وَقَالَ مَا نَهَىٰكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنۡ هَٰذِهِ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ إِلَّآ أَن تَكُونَا مَلَكَيۡنِ أَوۡ تَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلۡخَٰلِدِينَ 20

20        Then Satan whispered to both of them, in order to uncover their private parts which were hidden, and said: “Your Creator did not forbid you this tree except that you might become angels or become of the immortals.”

وَقَاسَمَهُمَآ إِنِّي لَكُمَا لَمِنَ ٱلنَّٰصِحِينَ 21

21        And Satan swore by Allah to both of them (stating): “Indeed, I am one of your well-wishers.”

فَدَلَّىٰهُمَا بِغُرُورٖۚ فَلَمَّا ذَاقَا ٱلشَّجَرَةَ بَدَتۡ لَهُمَا سَوۡءَٰتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخۡصِفَانِ عَلَيۡهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ ٱلۡجَنَّةِۖ وَنَادَىٰهُمَا رَبُّهُمَآ أَلَمۡ أَنۡهَكُمَا عَن تِلۡكُمَا ٱلشَّجَرَةِ وَأَقُل لَّكُمَآ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ لَكُمَا عَدُوّٞ مُّبِينٞ 22

22        So Satan caused (them) to fall by deception. Hence, when both of them tasted the tree, their private parts became uncovered. They both started covering themselves with the leaves of the (trees of) Paradise. And their Creator said to them: “Did I not forbid you that tree and I also told you both that, indeed, Satan is your obvious enemy?”

قَالَا رَبَّنَا ظَلَمۡنَآ أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمۡ تَغۡفِرۡ لَنَا وَتَرۡحَمۡنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ 23

23        They both said: “O our Creator! We both have wronged ourselves. If You don’t forgive us and don’t shower Your Mercy on us, we shall certainly be of the losers.”

قَالَ ٱهۡبِطُواْ بَعۡضُكُمۡ لِبَعۡضٍ عَدُوّٞۖ وَلَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُسۡتَقَرّٞ وَمَتَٰعٌ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ 24

24        (Allah) said: “Get down (from Paradise to earth in such a way) that some of you (i.e. your children) will be enemy to one another. Earth is residing place for you and to derive benefits from it for a while.” 

قَالَ فِيهَا تَحۡيَوۡنَ وَفِيهَا تَمُوتُونَ وَمِنۡهَا تُخۡرَجُونَ 25

25        (Allah) said: “You shall live there, and you shall die there and from it you shall be brought out (i.e. resurrected).” 

يَٰبَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ قَدۡ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡكُمۡ لِبَاسٗا يُوَٰرِي سَوۡءَٰتِكُمۡ وَرِيشٗاۖ وَلِبَاسُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞۚ ذَٰلِكَ مِنۡ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَذَّكَّرُونَ 26

26        O Children of Adam! (One of Our favours is) We have made clothing for you to cover your private parts and also as an adornment. (Apart from this apparent clothing) there is clothing in the form of God-consciousness (in your personality) which is better (than the apparent clothing). This (the clothing) is one of the signs of Allah so that, they may remember (this favour of Allah).
