Page 358 - Learning from the Qur'an

Say to My servants that they should only say the best. Satan wants
to stir up trouble between them. Satan is an outright enemy to
man. (Qur'an, 17:53)
He raised his parents up onto the throne. The others fell prostrate
in front of him. He said, 'My father, truly this is now the
interpretation of the dream I had. My Lord has made it all come
true; and He was kind to me by letting me out of prison and
brought you from the desert when satan had caused dissent
between me and my brothers. My Lord is kind to anyone He wills.
He is indeed All-Knowing and All-Wise. (Qur'an, 12:100)

HE IS INSOLENT AND
DISOBEDIENT TO ALLAH
We said to the angels, 'Prostrate to Adam!' and they prostrated,
with the exception of Diabolis. He refused and was arrogant and
was one of the unbelievers. (Qur'an, 2:34)
We created you and then formed you and then We said to the
angels, 'Prostrate before Adam,' and they prostrated—except for
Diabolis. He was not among those who prostrated. (Qur'an, 7:11)
Except Diabolis. He disdained to be one of the prostrators. (Qur'an,
15:31)
When We said to the angels, 'Prostrate yourselves to Adam!' they
prostrated, except for Diabolis. He said 'What! Am I to prostrate
to one You have created out of clay?' (Qur'an, 17:61)
When We said to the angels, 'Prostrate yourselves to Adam!' they
prostrated, with the exception of Diabolis who disdained to do it.
(Qur'an, 20:116)
Father, do not worship satan. Satan was disobedient to the All-
Merciful. (Qur'an, 19:44)
And guarded it against every defiant satan. (Qur'an, 37:7)
