[15:16]

And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of the stars, and We have beautified it for beholders.

[15:17]

And We have guarded it from every outcast devil,

[15:18]

Save him who stealeth the hearing, and them doth a clear flame pursue.

[15:19]

And the earth have We spread out, and placed therein firm hills, and caused each seemly thing to grow therein.

[15:20]

And we have given unto you livelihoods therein, and unto those for whom ye provide not.

[15:21]

And there is not a thing but with Us are the stores thereof. And we send it not down save in appointed measure.

[15:22]

And We send the winds fertilising, and cause water to descend from the sky, and give it you to drink. It is not ye who are the holders of the store thereof.

[15:23]

Lo! and it is We, even We, Who quicken and give death, and We are the Inheritor.

[15:24]

And verily We know the eager among you and verily We know the laggards.

[15:25]

Lo! thy Lord will gather them together. Lo! He is Wise, Aware.

[15:26]

Verily We created man of potter’s clay of black mud altered,

[15:27]

And the jinn did We create aforetime of essential fire.

[15:28]

And (remember) when thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am creating a mortal out of potter’s clay of black mud altered,

[15:29]

So, when I have made him and have breathed into him of My Spirit, do ye fall down, prostrating yourselves unto him.

[15:30]

So the angels fell prostrate, all of them together

[15:31]

Save Iblis. He refused to be among the prostrate.
