15:32 Allah said, “O Iblīs, what is the matter with you that you were not with those who prostrated?”

15:33 He said, “I would never prostrate before a human whom You created from sounding clay, made of aging mud[1].”

15:34 He said, “Then get out of here[1], for you are accursed,

15:35 and the curse will be upon you until the Day of Judgment.”

15:36 Iblīs said, “My Lord, then grant me respite until the Day they are resurrected.”

15:37 Allah said, “You are of those who are granted respite[1],

15:38 until the Day of the Appointed Time[1].”

15:39 He said, “My Lord, since You have sent me astray[1], I will surely make [sins] alluring to them on earth and mislead them all,

15:40 except for Your chosen slaves among them.”

15:41 Allah said, “This is a straight path leading to Me.

15:42 You will have no authority over My slaves, except the deviants who follow you.

15:43 And Hell is certainly the promised place for them, all together.

15:44 It has seven gates[1]; each gate will have its allotted share of them.”

15:45 The righteous will be amidst gardens and springs.

15:46 “Enter in peace and safety[1]!”

15:47 We will remove all ill feelings from their hearts[1]; like brothers, seated on couches facing one another.

15:48 No fatigue will ever touch them therein[1], nor will they ever be made to leave.

15:49 Inform My slaves that I am indeed the All-Forgiving, the Most Merciful,

15:50 and that My punishment is the most painful punishment.

15:51 And inform them about the guests of Abraham.
