7:1 Alif, Lam, Meem, Sad. 7:2 [This is] a Book revealed to you, [O Muhammad] - so let there not be in your breast distress therefrom - that you may warn thereby and as a reminder to the believers. 7:3 Follow, [O mankind] what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him any allies. Little do you remember. 7:4 And how many cities have We destroyed, and Our punishment came to them at night or while there were sleeping at noon. 7:5 And their declaration when Our punishment came to them was only that they said, "Indeed, we were wrongdoers!" 7:6 Then We will surely question those to whom [a message] was sent, and We will surely question the messengers. 7:7 Then We will surely relate [their deeds] to them with knowledge, and We were not [at all] absent. 7:8 And the weighing [of deeds] that Day will be the truth. So those whose scales are heavy - it is they who will be the successful. 7:9 And those whose scales are light - they are the ones who will lose themselves for what injustice they were doing toward Our verses. 7:10 And We have certainly established you upon the earth and made for you therein ways of livelihood. Little are you grateful. 7:11 And We have certainly created you, [O Mankind], and given you [human] form. Then We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was not of those who prostrated. 7:12 [Allah] said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?" [Satan] said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay." 7:13 [Allah] said, "Descend from Paradise, for it is not for you to be arrogant therein. So get out; you are of the debased." 7:14 [Satan] said, "Reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected." 7:15 [Allah] said, "Indeed, you are of those reprieved." 7:16 [Satan] said, "Because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them on Your straight path. 7:17 Then I will come to them before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful [to You]." 7:18 [Allah] said, "Get out of Paradise, reproached and expelled. Whoever follows you among them - I will surely fill Hell with you, all together."
