And verily

We have placed

in

the heavens

constellations

and We have beautified it

for the observers

And We have protected it

from

every

devil

accursed

Except

(one) who

steals

the hearing

then follows him

a burning flame

clear

And the earth

We have spread it

and [We] cast

therein

firm mountains

and [We] caused to grow

therein

of

every

thing

well-balanced

And We have made

for you

therein

means of living

and whom

you are not

for him

providers

And not

(is) any

thing

but

with Us

(are) its treasures

and not

We send it down

except

in a measure

known

And We have sent

the winds

fertilizing

and We sent down

from

the sky

water

and We gave it to you to drink

And not

you

of it

(are) retainers

And indeed, We

surely [We]

We give life

and We cause death

and We

(are) the Inheritors

And verily

We know

the preceding ones

among you

and verily

We know

the later ones

And indeed

your Lord

He

will gather them

Indeed, He

(is) All-Wise

All-Knowing

And verily

We created

humankind

(out) of

sounding clay

from

black mud

altered

And the jinn

We created it

before

before

from

fire

scorching

And when

your Lord said

your Lord said

to the Angels

Indeed, I

(will) create

a human being

(out) of

clay

from

black mud

altered

So, when

I have fashioned him

and [I] breathed

into him

of

My spirit

then fall down

to him

prostrating

So prostrated

the Angels

all of them

together

Except

Iblis

He refused

to

be

with

those who prostrated
