قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنظَرِينَ

‘You have respite,’ said God,


إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡوَقۡتِ ٱلۡمَعۡلُومِ

‘until the Day of the Appointed Time.’


قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَغۡوَيۡتَنِي لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَأُغۡوِيَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

Iblis then said to God, ‘Because You have put me in the wrong, I will lure mankind on earth and put them in the wrong,


إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنۡهُمُ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

all except Your devoted servants.’


قَالَ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ عَلَيَّ مُسۡتَقِيمٌ

God said, ‘[Devotion] is a straight path to Me:


إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيۡسَ لَكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٌ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡغَاوِينَ

you will have no power over My servants, only over the ones who go astray and follow you.


وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوۡعِدُهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

Hell is the promised place for all these,


لَهَا سَبۡعَةُ أَبۡوَٰبٖ لِّكُلِّ بَابٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ جُزۡءٞ مَّقۡسُومٌ

with seven gates, each gate having its allotted share of them.
