Sura Xviii. Kahf, Or The Cave. Section 7

*
"The Holy Quran", tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934],

Sra Xviii.: Kahf, Or The Cave.

Section 7

50.
Wa-ith qulna lilmala-ikati osjudoo li-adama fasajadoo illa ibleesa kana mina aljinni fafasaqa AAan amri rabbihi afatattakhithoonahu wathurriyyatahu awliyaa min doonee wahum lakum AAaduwwun bi/sa liL"thth"alimeena badalaN

50.
Behold! We said

To the angels, "Bow down

To Adam
": they bowed down

Except Ibls. He was

One of the Jinns, and he

Broke the Command

Of his Lord.

Will ye then take him

And his progeny as protectors

Rather than Me? And they

Are enemies to you!

Evil would be the exchange

For the wrong-doers!

51.
Ma ashhadtuhum khalqa aLssamawati waAl-ardi wala khalqa anfusihim wama kuntu muttakhitha almudilleena AAadudaN

51. I
called them not

To witness the creation

Of the heavens and the earth,

Nor (even) their own creation:

Nor is it for Me

To take as helpers

Such as lead (men) astray!

52.
Wayawma yaqoolu nadoo shuraka-iya allatheena zaAAamtum fadaAAawhum falam yastajeeboo lahum wajaAAalna baynahum mawbiqaN

52.
One Day He will say,

"Call on those whom ye

Thought to be My partners,"

And they will call on them,

But they will not listen

To them; and We shall

Make for them a place

Of common perdition

53. Waraa almujrimoona aLnnara fa"th"annoo annahum muwaqiAAooha walam yajidoo AAanha masrifaN

53.
And the Sinful shall see

The Fire and apprehend

That they have to fall

Therein no means will they

Find to turn away therefrom.
