Analysis of Religious Texts

Then the angels prostrated

all of them

together.

Except

Iblis, who refused

to be with those who prostrated.

He said, “O

Iblis, what is the matter with you that you are not among

those who prostrate?” He said,

“I would not prostrate to a human You created

from

sounding clay, whom You created from

sounding clay, from black mud

molded. He said, “Then get out

of it, for you are

accursed.

And upon you is the curse until

the Day of Judgment.”
