And when your Lord said to the
angels, "Indeed, I am going to place upon the earth a successive
authority," they said, "Will You place therein one who will cause corruption therein and
shed
blood, while we exalt You with praise,
and we exalt You with praise and sanctify You." He said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not
know." And He taught Adam the names - all of them. Then He
showed them to the
angels and said, "Inform Me of the
names of
these, if you should be
truthful." They said, "Glory be to You! We have no knowledge except
what You
have taught us. Indeed, it is You who is the Knowing, the
Wise." He said, "O Adam,
inform them of
their names." And
when he had informed them of
their names, He said, "Did I not tell you that I
know the unseen [unseen] of the heavens and the
earth? Indeed, I know the unseen [unseen] of the heavens and the earth, and I know
what you reveal and what you
conceal." And when We said to
the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated,
except for Iblis. He refused and was arrogant and became of the
disbelievers. And We said, "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in
Paradise and eat from it in abundance as you
wish. But do not approach this tree, lest you be among the
wrongdoers." But
Satan caused them to slip from it and
removed them from that in which they were.
And We said, "Go down, some of you enemies to others, and upon
the earth you will be [even] the enemies of the disbelievers." A place of settlement and provision for a time. Then
Adam received from his Lord words, and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, it is He who is the Accepter of repentance, the
Merciful. We said, "Get down from it, all of you. But if there comes to
you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My guidance - then whoever follows My guidance - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they
grieve. And those who disbelieve and deny Our verses - those are the companions of the
Fire; they will abide therein eternally.
O children of
Israel, remember My favor which I have bestowed upon you and fulfill
My covenant, and I will fulfill your covenant. And fear Me and
believe in what I
have revealed, confirming that which is with you, and do not
be the first to disbelieve in it. And do not exchange My verses for a
small price. And fear Me and do
not mix truth with falsehood or conceal the truth
while you
know. And establish prayer and give zakah and
bow with those who bow. Do you enjoin righteousness upon the
people and
forget yourselves while you recite the
Scripture? Then will you not reason?
And seek help through patience
and prayer, and indeed, it is
difficult except for the humbly
submissive who are certain that they will meet their Lord and that they will return to Him. O Children of Israel, remember My favor which I have bestowed upon you. Who are certain that
they will meet their Lord and that they will return to Him. I have
bestowed
favor upon you, and I have preferred you over
the worlds. And fear a Day when no soul will suffice for another soul
at all, nor will
intercession be accepted from it, nor will compensation be taken from it, nor will they be
aided. And when We delivered
you from the people of Pharaoh, who were afflicting you with
the worst of
torment, slaughtering your
sons and
keeping your
women alive. And in
that was a
great trial from your Lord. And when We parted the sea for you and saved
you and
drowned the people of Pharaoh while you were
looking on. And when We appointed for Moses
forty nights, then you took the calf after him while
you were
wrongdoers;
then We pardoned you
after that that you might be
grateful. And when We gave Moses the Scripture and the Criterion that you might be guided. And when Moses said to his people, “O my people, indeed you have
wronged
yourselves by taking the calf, so repent to your Creator.” So he turned to you in
forgiveness. Indeed, it is He who is the
Accepter of Repentance, the
Merciful. And when you said, “O Moses, we will not believe you until we
see God
plainly,” so the thunderbolt seized you while you were
looking on.
We have raised you up after your death that you might be
grateful. And We
shaded you with clouds and
sent down to you manna
and quails, [saying], “Eat from the good things We have
provided for you.” They did not wrong Us, but they
were
wronging themselves. And when We said, “Enter this city and eat
from it as you wish in abundance, and enter the gate
bowing down and say, ‘Forgive us.’ We will forgive you your
sins, and We will increase for the
doers of good.” But those who did wrong substituted a statement other than that which was
said to them. So We
sent down upon those who did wrong a punishment from
the sky because they were defiantly disobedient.
