Why did Iblis refuse to bow to Adam?

Key findingsEditorial

One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.

  1. 01 7:12 He said: WHAT HINDERED THEE THAT THOU DIDST NOT FALL PROSTRATE WHEN I BADE THEE? Iblis said: I AM BETTER THAN HIM. THOU CREATEDST ME OF FIRE WHILE HIM THOU DIDST CREATE OF MUD. In because it is the question and the answer in one verse, and because the answer is a comparison of materials.
  2. 02 38:75–76 He said: O Iblis, what hindereth thee from falling prostrate before that which I have created WITH BOTH MY HANDS? ART THOU TOO PROUD, OR ART THOU OF THE HIGH EXALTED? He said: I am better than him. Thou createdst me of fire, whilst him Thou didst create of clay. In as ONE PASSAGE because the question here contains its own diagnosis - two alternatives, pride or rank - and because the making WITH BOTH MY HANDS is stated only here.
  3. 03 15:29–33 So, when I have made him and have breathed into him of My spirit, do ye fall down prostrating yourselves unto him... He said: I AM NOT ONE TO PROSTRATE MYSELF UNTO A MORTAL WHOM THOU HAST CREATED OUT OF POTTER'S CLAY OF BLACK MUD ALTERED. In as ONE PASSAGE because the command states the ground - the breathing of the spirit - and the refusal answers a different question, the material.
  4. 04 2:34 And when We said unto the angels: prostrate yourselves before Adam - they fell prostrate, all save Iblis. HE DEMURRED THROUGH PRIDE, AND SO BECAME A DISBELIEVER. In because it is the text's own verdict, and it names the cause as pride rather than as reasoning. ALSO CARRIED by the study Is Iblis (Satan) an angel or a jinn in the Qur'an? and What does the Qur'an say about arrogance as the first sin?, with different reasons there.
  5. 05 17:61–62 He said: shall I fall prostrate before that which Thou hast created of clay? He said: SEEST THOU THIS WHOM THOU HAST HONOURED ABOVE ME? If Thou give me grace until the Day of Resurrection I VERILY WILL SEIZE HIS SEED, SAVE BUT A FEW. In as ONE PASSAGE because the refusal here is followed immediately by a stated grievance - being honoured above him - and by the vow that follows from it.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It is an editorial restatement of the verses in this study and carries their name because someone has to answer for it.

He gives a reason, the text gives a different one, and the two do not match.

His reason is a comparison of substances, and he gives it twice in identical form. 7:12 and 38:76: I AM BETTER THAN HIM. THOU CREATEDST ME OF FIRE WHILE HIM THOU DIDST CREATE OF CLAY. 15:33 puts it as a refusal of the category: I AM NOT ONE TO PROSTRATE MYSELF UNTO A MORTAL whom Thou hast created out of potter's clay of black mud altered.

The Qur'an's verdict is different. 2:34: HE DEMURRED THROUGH PRIDE, AND SO BECAME A DISBELIEVER. Not that his reasoning was faulty - that pride was what produced it.

38:75 is the sharpest verse, because the question put to him contains its own analysis: what hinders thee from prostrating before what I created WITH BOTH MY HANDS? ART THOU TOO PROUD, OR ART THOU OF THE HIGH EXALTED? Two possible explanations are offered, and both are about status.

That question also states the ground his argument ignores. The command in 15:29 and 38:72 is not to bow to clay; it is to bow to something into which God has BREATHED OF HIS SPIRIT. Iblis answers by naming the material and says nothing about the breathing.

17:62 shows what was really at stake, in his own words: SEEST THOU THIS WHOM THOU HAST HONOURED ABOVE ME? The objection is to a ranking, and what follows immediately is the vow to seize Adam's descendants.

The study Is Iblis (Satan) an angel or a jinn in the Qur'an? takes up the separate question of what kind of being he was.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.

Scope of this study

This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.

What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.

What this rests on

Opens with 7:12, widening across 5 passages in all.

Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The versesSource fact 5 passages, each with every cleared translation

5 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.

Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

15:30 অতঃপর ফিরিশতারা সকলেই (তাকে) সাজদাহ করলো।

15:31 ইবলীস ছাড়া।(৭) সে সাজদাহকারীদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত হতে অস্বীকার করলো।

15:32 আল্লাহ বললেন: ‘হে ইবলীস! তোমার কী হলো যে, তুমি সাজদাহকারীদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত হলে না?’

15:33 সে (অহংকার করে) বললো: ‘আমি তো এমন নই যে, একজন মানুষকে আমি সাজদাহ করব, যাকে আপনি সৃষ্টি করেছেন গন্ধযুক্ত, শুকনো ও ঠনঠনে কালচে কাদামাটি থেকে।’

17:62 “Реци ми”, рече онда, “ево овог кога си изнад мене уздигао: ако ме оставиш до Судњег дана сигурно ћу, осим малобројних, над потомством његовим загосподарити.”

17:61 Na pale tulipowaambia Malaika, "Msujudieni Adam." Wakamsujudia isipokuwa Iblisi. Akasema, "Je, nimsujudie uliyemuumba kwa udongo?"

17:62 Akasema, "Hebu unamuona huyu uliyemtukuza zaidi yangu, ukiniahirisha mpaka Siku ya Kiyama, hapana shaka nitakiangamiza kizazi chake isipokuwa wachache tu."

17:61 Och minns när vi befallde änglarna: ”Fall ned inför Adam!” Då gjorde alla det utom Iblīs som sa: ”Ska jag falla ned inför någon som du har skapat av lera?”

17:62 Sedan sa han: ”Säg mig, är detta den [skapelse som] du har kommit att hedra mer än mig? Om du låter mig vara kvar till uppståndelsens dag ska jag förleda hans avkomma, allesamman utom ett fåtal.”

17:61 Hani meleklere: "Âdem'e secde edin" demiştik de İblis dışında hepsi secde etmişti. O: "Ben bir çamur olarak yarattığına mı secde edeyim?" demişti.

17:62 Şu benden üstün kıldığını görüyor musun? Yemin ederim ki, eğer beni kıyamete kadar yaşatırsan, pek azı dışında onun soyunu kendi buyruğum altına alacağım" demişti.

17:61 جب ہم نے فرشتوں کو حکم دیا کہ آدم کو سجده کرو تو ابلیس کے سوا سب نے کیا، اس نے کہا کہ کیا میں اسے سجده کروں جسے تو نے مٹی سے پیدا کیا ہے.

17:62 اچھا دیکھ لے اسے تو نے مجھ پر بزرگی تو دی ہے، لیکن اگر مجھے بھی قیامت تک تو نے ڈھیل دی تو میں اس کی اوﻻد کو بجز بہت تھوڑے لوگوں کے، اپنے بس[1] میں کرلوں گا.

The translators word this verse differently

Talal Itani2012 Nothing prevents Us from sending miraculous signs, except that the ancients called them lies. We gave Thamood the she-camel, a visible sign, but they mistreated her. We do not send the signs except to instill reverence.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 Naught hindereth Us from sending portents save that the folk of old denied them. And We gave Thamud the she-camel - a clear portent save to warn

Edward Henry Palmer1880 Naught hindered us from sending thee with signs, save that those of yore said they were lies; so we gave Thamud the visible she-camel, but they treated her unjustly! for we do not send (any one) with signs save to make men fear

John Medows Rodwell1861 Nothing hindered us from sending thee with the power of working miracles, except that the peoples of old treated them as lies. We gave to Themoud the she-camel before their very eyes, yet they maltreated her! We send not a prophet with miracles but to strike terror

George Sale1734 Nothing hindered us from sending thee with miracles, except that the former nations have charged them with imposture. We gave unto the tribe of Thamud, at their demand, the she-camel visible to their sight; yet they dealt unjustly with her: And We send not a prophet with miracles, but to strike terror

The translators word this verse differently

Talal Itani2012 We said to you that your Lord encompasses humanity. We did not make the vision We showed you, except as a test for the people, and the tree cursed in the Quran. We frighten them, but that only increases their defiance.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 And (it was a warning) when we told thee: Lo! thy Lord encompasseth mankind, and We appointed the sight which We showed thee as an ordeal for mankind, and (likewise) the Accursed Tree in the Qur'an. We warn them, but it increaseth them in naught save gross impiety

Edward Henry Palmer1880 And when we said to thee, 'Verily, thy Lord encompasses men!' and we made the vision which we showed thee only a cause of sedition unto men, and the cursed tree as well; for we will frighten them, but it will only increase them in great rebellion

John Medows Rodwell1861 And remember when we said to thee, Verily, thy Lord is round about mankind; we ordained the vision which we shewed thee, and likewise the cursed tree of the Koran, only for men to dispute of; we will strike them with terror; but it shall only increase in them enormous wickedness

George Sale1734 Remember when We said unto thee, verily thy Lord encompasseth men by his knowledge and power. We have appointed the vision which We shewed thee, and also the tree cursed in the Koran, only for an occasion of dispute unto men, and to strike them with terror; but it shall cause them to transgress only the more enormously

Talal Itani2012 He said, "Begone! Whoever of them follows you-Hell is your reward, an ample reward."

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 He said: Go, and whosoever of them followeth thee - lo! hell will be your payment, ample payment

Edward Henry Palmer1880 Said He, 'Begone! and whoso of them follows thee - verily, hell is your recompense, an ample recompense

John Medows Rodwell1861 He said, "Begone; but whosoever of them shall follow thee, verily, Hell shall be your recompense; an ample recompense

The translators word this verse differently

Talal Itani2012 "And entice whomever of them you can with your voice, and rally against them your cavalry and your infantry, and share with them in wealth and children, and make promises to them." But Satan promises them nothing but delusion.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 And excite any of them whom thou canst with thy voice, and urge thy horse and foot against them, and be a partner in their wealth and children, and promise them. Satan promiseth them only to deceive

Edward Henry Palmer1880 Entice away whomsoever of them thou canst with thy voice; and bear down upon them with thy horse and with thy foot; and share with them in their wealth and their children; and promise them,- but Satan promises them naught but deceit

John Medows Rodwell1861 And entice such of them as thou canst by thy voice; assault them with thy horsemen and thy footmen; be their partner in their riches and in their children, and make them promises: but Satan shall make them only deceitful promises

George Sale1734 an ample reward for your demerits! And entice to vanity such of them as thou canst, by thy voice; and assault them on all sides with thy horsemen and thy footmen; and partake with them in their riches, and their children; and make them promises; (but the devil shall make them no other than deceitful promises)

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it5 of the 6 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page

The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.

Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 7:12, 38:75-76, 15:29-33, 2:34, 17:61-62, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.

How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - i + am + better + than + him; createdst + me + of + fire; shall + i + fall + prostrate + before + that + which + thou + hast + created + of + clay; he + was + scornful + and + became + one + of + the + disbelievers. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.

What was returned and not carried. 3 verse(s) the search qualified are recorded as not carried with a reason each, rather than silently discarded: 11:88 - Shu'ayb; matched incidentally; 38:74 - absorbed into the 38:75-76 passage; 41:33 - matched on the better-than formula.

Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.

Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
