• It is He Who hath created for you all things that are on earth;  Moreover His design comprehended the heavens, for He gave order and  perfection to the seven firmaments; and of all things He hath perfect  knowledge.


• Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I will create a  vicegerent on earth." They said: "Wilt Thou place therein one who will  make mischief therein and shed blood?- whilst we do celebrate Thy  praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?" He said: "I know what ye know  not."


• And He taught Adam the names of all things; then He  placed them before the angels, and said: "Tell me the names of these if  ye are right."


• They said: "Glory to Thee, of knowledge We have  none, save what Thou Hast taught us: In truth it is Thou Who art perfect  in knowledge and wisdom."


• He said: "O Adam! Tell them their  names." When he had told them, Allah said: "Did I not tell you that I  know the secrets of heaven and earth, and I know what ye reveal and what  ye conceal?"


• And behold, We said to the angels: "Bow down to  Adam" and they bowed down. Not so Iblis: he refused and was haughty: He  was of those who reject Faith.


• We said: "O Adam! dwell thou and  thy wife in the Garden; and eat of the bountiful things therein as  (where and when) ye will; but approach not this tree, or ye run into  harm and transgression."


• Then did Satan make them slip from the  (garden), and get them out of the state (of felicity) in which they had  been. We said: "Get ye down, all (ye people), with enmity between  yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling-place and your means of  livelihood - for a time."
