I am about to place a viceroy in the earth, they said: Wilt Thou place therein one who will do harm therein and will shed blood, while we, we hymn Thy praise and sanctify Thee? He said: Surely I know that which ye know not.<BR/><BR/>And He taught Adam all the names, then showed them to the angels, saying: Inform me of the names of these, if ye are truthful.<BR/><BR/>They said: Be glorified! We have no knowledge saving that which Thou hast taught us. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower, the Wise.<BR/><BR/>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 secret of the heavens and the earth? And I know that which ye disclose and which ye hide.<BR/><BR/>And when We said unto the angels: Prostrate yourselves before Adam, they fell prostrate, all save Iblîs. He demurred through pride, and so became a disbeliever.<BR/><BR/>And We said: O Adam! Dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden, and eat ye freely (of the fruits) thereof where ye will; but come not nigh this tree lest ye become wrongdoers.<BR/><BR/>But Satan caused them to deflect therefrom and expelled them from the (happy) state in which they were; and We said: Fall down, one of you a foe unto the other! There shall be for you on earth a habitation and provision for a time.<BR/><BR/>Then Adam received from his Lord words (of revelation), and He relented toward him. Lo! He is the Relenting, the Merciful.<BR/><BR/>We said: Go down, all of you, from hence; but verily there cometh unto you from Me a guidance; and whoso followeth My guidance, there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.<BR/><BR/>But they who disbelieve, and deny Our revelations, such are rightful owners of the Fire. They will abide therein.<BR/><BR/>Verses of the Qur'ân<BR/><BR/>Surah: 2/30-39Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
