ٱلْأَعْرَاف : ١١

  • وَلَقَدۡ And certainly
  • خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ We created you
  • ثُمَّ then
  • صَوَّرۡنَٰكُمۡ We fashioned you
  • ثُمَّ Then
  • قُلۡنَا We said
  • لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ to the Angels
  • ٱسۡجُدُواْ Prostrate
  • لِأٓدَمَ to Adam
  • فَسَجَدُوٓاْ So they prostrated
  • إِلَّآ except
  • إِبۡلِيسَ Iblees
  • لَمۡ Not
  • يَكُن he was
  • مِّنَ of
  • ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ those who prostrated
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.1 He was not of those who prostrated.
Footnotes
1 - Satan. See footnote to 2:34.
And We created you, that is, your father Adam, then shaped you, that is, We shaped him with you [deposited] in his back, then said to the angels: 'Prostrate yourselves before Adam!', a prostration that is a bow of salutation. So they fell prostrate, all save Iblees, the father of the jinn, who was among the angels - he was not of those who make prostration.
