38:62 They will say, “Why do we not see those whom we considered to be among the wicked[1]?

38:63 Is it that we mistakenly made fun of them, or do our eyes fail to see them [in the Fire]?”

38:64 This is certainly true that the people of the Fire will dispute among themselves.

38:65 Say [O Prophet], “I am only a warner, and none has the right to be worshiped except Allah, the One, the Subjugator,

38:66 Lord of the heavens and earth and all that is between them, the All-Mighty[1], Most Forgiving[2].”

38:67 Say, “This [Qur’an] is of momentous news

38:68 from which you are turning away.”

38:69 [And say], “I had no knowledge of the highest assembly [of angels] when they were disputing [about Adam][1].

38:70 I have only received revelation in order to give a clear warning.”

38:71 [Remember] when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to create a human being from clay.

38:72 When I completed his creation and breathed into him of My spirit[1], fall down in prostration to him.”

38:73 Then the angels fell down in prostration all together,

38:74 except Iblīs, who was arrogant and became one of the disbelievers[1].

38:75 [Allah] said, “O Iblīs, what prevented you from prostrating to whom I created with My two Hands? Did you just become proud or have you always been arrogant?”

38:76 He said, “I am better than him: You created me from fire and created him from clay.”

38:77 [Allah] said, “Then get out of here, for you are accursed,

38:78 and My curse will be upon you until the Day of Judgment.”

38:79 He said, “My Lord, then give me respite until the Day of their resurrection.”

38:80 Allah said, “You are given respite,

38:81 until the Day of the appointed time.”

38:82 Iblīs said, “By Your Glory, I will surely mislead them all,

38:83 except for Your chosen slaves among them.”
