(7:1) Alif, Lam, Meem, Sad. (7:2) [This is] a Book revealed to you, [O Muhammad] - so let there not be in your breast distress therefrom - that you may warn thereby and as a reminder to the believers. (7:3) Follow, [O mankind], what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him any allies. Little do you remember. (7:4) And how many cities have We destroyed, and Our punishment came to them at night or while they were sleeping at noon. (7:5) And their declaration when Our punishment came to them was only that they said, "Indeed, we were wrongdoers!" (7:6) Then We will surely question those to whom [a message] was sent, and We will surely question the messengers. (7:7) Then We will surely relate [their deeds] to them with knowledge, and We were not [at all] absent. (7:8) And the weighing [of deeds] that Day will be the truth. So those whose scales are heavy - it is they who will be the successful. (7:9) And those whose scales are light - they are the ones who will lose themselves for what injustice they were doing toward Our verses. (7:10) And We have certainly established you upon the earth and made for you therein ways of livelihood. Little are you grateful. (7:11) And We have certainly created you, [O Mankind], and given you [human] form. Then We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was not of those who prostrated. (7:12) [Allah] said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?" [Satan] said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay." (7:13) [Allah] said, "Descend from Paradise, for it is not for you to be arrogant therein. So get out; indeed, you are of the debased. (7:14) [Satan] said, "Reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."
