Then learnt Adam from his Lord words of inspiration, and his Lord Turned towards him; for He is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.
We said: "Get ye down all from here; and if, as is sure, there comes to  you Guidance from me, whosoever follows My guidance, on them shall be  no fear, nor shall they grieve.
"But those who reject Faith and belie Our Signs, they shall be companions of the Fire; they shall abide therein."
O Children of Israel! call to mind the (special) favour which I  bestowed upon you, and fulfil your covenant with Me as I fulfil My  Covenant with you, and fear none but Me.
And believe in what I  reveal, confirming the revelation which is with you, and be not the  first to reject Faith therein, nor sell My Signs for a small price; and  fear Me, and Me alone.
And cover not Truth with falsehood, nor conceal the Truth when ye know (what it is).
And be steadfast in prayer; practise regular charity; and bow down your heads with those who bow down (in worship).

It is He Who hath created for you all things that are on earth;  Moreover His design comprehended the heavens, for He gave order and  perfection to the seven firmaments; and of all things He hath perfect  knowledge.
Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I will create a  vicegerent on earth." They said: "Wilt Thou place therein one who will  make mischief therein and shed blood?- whilst we do celebrate Thy  praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?" He said: "I know what ye know  not."
And He taught Adam the names of all things; then He  placed them before the angels, and said: "Tell me the names of these if  ye are right."
They said: "Glory to Thee, of knowledge We have  none, save what Thou Hast taught us: In truth it is Thou Who art perfect  in knowledge and wisdom."
He said: "O Adam! Tell them their  names." When he had told them, Allah said: "Did I not tell you that I  know the secrets of heaven and earth, and I know what ye reveal and what  ye conceal?"
And behold, We said to the angels: "Bow down to  Adam" and they bowed down. Not so Iblis: he refused and was haughty: He  was of those who reject Faith.
We said: "O Adam! dwell thou and  thy wife in the Garden; and eat of the bountiful things therein as  (where and when) ye will; but approach not this tree, or ye run into  harm and transgression."
Then did Satan make them slip from the  (garden), and get them out of the state (of felicity) in which they had  been. We said: "Get ye down, all (ye people), with enmity between  yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling-place and your means of  livelihood - for a time."

And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to  time to Our servant, then produce a Sura like thereunto; and call your  witnesses or helpers (If there are any) besides Allah, if your (doubts)  are true.
But if ye cannot- and of a surety ye cannot- then  fear the Fire whose fuel is men and stones,- which is prepared for those  who reject Faith.
But give glad tidings to those who believe  and work righteousness, that their portion is Gardens, beneath which  rivers flow. Every time they are fed with fruits therefrom, they say:  "Why, this is what we were fed with before," for they are given things  in similitude; and they have therein companions pure (and holy); and  they abide therein (for ever).
Allah disdains not to use the  similitude of things, lowest as well as highest. Those who believe know  that it is truth from their Lord; but those who reject Faith say: "What  means Allah by this similitude?" By it He causes many to stray, and many  He leads into the right path; but He causes not to stray, except those  who forsake (the path),-
Those who break Allahs Covenant after  it is ratified, and who sunder what Allah Has ordered to be joined, and  do mischief on earth: These cause loss (only) to themselves.
How can ye reject the faith in Allah?- seeing that ye were without life,  and He gave you life; then will He cause you to die, and will again  bring you to life; and again to Him will ye return.

Allah will throw back their mockery on them, and give them rope in  their trespasses; so they will wander like blind ones (To and fro).
These are they who have bartered Guidance for error: But their traffic is profitless, and they have lost true direction,
Their similitude is that of a man who kindled a fire; when it lighted  all around him, Allah took away their light and left them in utter  darkness. So they could not see.
Deaf, dumb, and blind, they will not return (to the path).
Or (another similitude) is that of a rain-laden cloud from the sky: In  it are zones of darkness, and thunder and lightning: They press their  fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunder-clap, the while  they are in terror of death. But Allah is ever round the rejecters of  Faith!
The lightning all but snatches away their sight; every  time the light (Helps) them, they walk therein, and when the darkness  grows on them, they stand still. And if Allah willed, He could take away  their faculty of hearing and seeing; for Allah hath power over all  things.
O ye people! Adore your Guardian-Lord, who created you  and those who came before you, that ye may have the chance to learn  righteousness;
Who has made the earth your couch, and the  heavens your canopy; and sent down rain from the heavens; and brought  forth therewith Fruits for your sustenance; then set not up rivals unto  Allah when ye know (the truth).

Of the people there are some who say: "We believe in Allah and the Last Day;" but they do not (really) believe.
Fain would they deceive Allah and those who believe, but they only deceive themselves, and realise (it) not!
In their hearts is a disease; and Allah has increased their disease:  And grievous is the penalty they (incur), because they are false (to  themselves).
When it is said to them: "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: "Why, we only Want to make peace!"
Of a surety, they are the ones who make mischief, but they realise (it) not.
When it is said to them: "Believe as the others believe:" They say:  "Shall we believe as the fools believe?" Nay, of a surety they are the  fools, but they do not know.
When they meet those who believe,  they say: "We believe;" but when they are alone with their evil ones,  they say: "We are really with you: We (were) only jesting."
