Creation of man
Angels prostrate except
Satan
Satan becomes the
tempter
Hell and Paradise
We created man from dry clay, from black moulded
loam, and before him Satan from smokeless fire.
Your Lord said to the angels: “I am creating man from dry clay, from black moulded loam. When I have fashioned him and breathed of
My spirit into him, kneel down and prostrate yourselves before him.”
The angels one and all, prostrated themselves, except
Satan. He refused to prostrate
himself as the others did.
“Satan,” said Allah, “why do you not prostrate yourself?”
He replied: “I
will not bow to a mortal whom You created of dry clay, of black moulded
loam.”
“Get you hence,” said Allah, “you are accursed. The curse shall be on you till Judgment
Day.”
“Lord,” said Satan, reprieve me till the Day of
Resurrection.”
He answered, “You are reprieved till the Appointed Day.”
“Lord,” said Satan, “since You have thus seduced me, I
will tempt mankind on earth: I will
seduce them all, except those of them who are your faithful servants.”
He replied, “This is My straight path. You shall have no power over My servants,
only the sinners who follow you. They
are all destined for Hell. It
has seven gates, and through each gate they shall come in separate
bands. But the righteous shall
dwell among gardens and fountains; in peace and safety they shall enter
them. We shall remove all hatred from
their hearts, and they shall take their ease on couches face to face, a band
of brothers. Toil shall not weary
them, nor shall they ever be driven out.”
Tell My servants that I alone am the Forgiving One, the
Merciful; and that only My scourge is the woeful scourge.
Al-Hijr 15:19-15:33

Creation of man
He created man from a little germ: yet is he openly contentious.
Al-Nahl The
Bee 16:4
Creation
Are the disbelievers unaware that the heavens and the
earth were but one solid mass which We tore asunder, and that We made every
living thing from water? Will they
not have faith?
We set firm mountains upon the earth lest it should move
away with them, and hewed out highways in the rock so that they might be
rightly guided.
We spread the heaven like a canopy and provided it with
strong support: yet of its signs they
are heedless.
It was He who created the night and the day, and the sun
and the moon: each moves swiftly in
an orbit of its own.
The Prophets
21:26-21:33
Creation
You people! If you
doubt the Resurrection remember that We first created you from dust,
then from a living germ, then from a clot of blood, and then
from a half-formed lump of flesh, so that We might manifest to you Our
power. We caused to remain in the
womb whatever We please for an appointed term, and then We bring you forth as
infants, that you may grow up and reach your prime. Some die young, and some live on to abject old age when all
that they once knew they know no more.
You sometimes see the earth dry and barren: but no sooner do We send the water down
upon it than it begins to stir and swell, putting forth every kind of radiant
bloom. That is because Allah is
truth: He resurrects the dead and has
power over all things.
Al-Hajj
Pilgrimage 22:5-22:5-6
Creation of man
We first created man from an essence of clay; then placed him, a living germ, in
a secure enclosure. The germ We made
a clot of blood, and the clot a lump of flesh. This We fashioned into bones, then
clothed the bones with flesh, thus bringing forth another creation. Blessed be Allah, the noblest of creators.
Al-Muminun The Believers 23:12-14
Creation
Allah created every beast from water. Some creep upon their bellies, others walk
on two legs, and others yet on four.
Allah creates what He pleases.
Allah has power over all things.
Al-Nur
Light 24:45
Creation of man
It was He who created man from water, and gave him kindred
of blood and of marriage. All
powerful is your Lord.
Al-Furqan 25:54
Creation of man
He first created man from clay, then made his offspring
from a drop of humble fluid. He molded
him and breathed His spirit into him.
He gave you ears and eyes and hearts:
yet you are seldom thankful.
As-Sajda
Adoration 32:7-9
Creation of man
Allah created you from dust, then from a little germ. Into two sexes He divided you. No female conceives or gives birth without
His knowledge. No man grows old or
has his life cut short but in accordance with His decree. All this is easy enough for Allah.
Fatir The
Creator 35:11
Man created from little germ
Is man not aware that We created him from a little
germ? Yet is he flagrantly
contentious. He answers back with
arguments, and forgets his own creation.
He asks: “Who will give life
to rotten bones?”
Ya-Sin 36:77-78
Creation of man
Ask the unbelievers if they deem themselves of a nobler
make than the rest of Our creation. Of
coarse clay We created them.
As-Saffat The
Ranks 37:11
Creation of man
Your Lord said to the angels: “I am creating man from clay.
When I have fashioned him and breathed My spirit into him, kneel down
and prostrate yourselves before him.”
The angels all prostrated themselves except Satan, who was
too proud, for he was an unbeliever.

Creation of man
Genesis 1:26-31
26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image,
according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over
every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27 So God created man
in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He
created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be
fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the
fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that
moves on the earth."
29 And God said, "See, I have given you every herb
that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose
fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. 30 Also, to every beast of
the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the
earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food";
and it was so. 31 Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it
was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
NKJV
Genesis 2:7-9
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living
being.
8 The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and
there He put the man whom He had formed. 9 And out of the ground the LORD God
made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The
tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil.
NKJV
Genesis 2:15-25
15 Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the
garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the
man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day
that you eat of it you shall surely die."
18 And the LORD God said, "It is not good that man
should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." 19 Out
of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of
the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And
whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So Adam gave
names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the
field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam,
and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its
place. 22 Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into
a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23 And Adam said:
"This is now bone of my
bones
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of
Man."
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and
be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 25 And they were both
naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
NKJV
Genesis 5:1-2
5:1 This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In the day
that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. 2 He created
them male and female, and blessed them and called them Mankind in the day
they were created.
NKJV
Temptations are all common to man
1 Corinthians 10:13
13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to
man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.
But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can
stand up under it.
NIV
Colossians 3:1-11
3:1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things
which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your
mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your
life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears,
then you also will appear with Him in glory. 5 Therefore put to death your
members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil
desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these things the
wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, 7 in which you
yourselves once walked when you lived in them. 8 But now you yourselves are
to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of
your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man
with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge
according to the image of Him who created him, 11 where there is neither
Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor
free, but Christ is all and in all.
NKJV
Jesus and the Angels
Hebrews 1:1-6
1:1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the
prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has
spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through
whom he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of God's glory and
the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful
word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the
right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4 So he became as much superior to
the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,
"You are my Son;
today I have become your
Father"?
Or again,
"I will be his Father,
and he will be my Son"?
6 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world,
he says,
"Let all God's angels worship him."
NIV
Worship of God and of
Jesus the Lamb
Revelation 5:13-14
NKJV
13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth
and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I
heard saying:
Blessing and honor and glory and
power
Be to Him who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and
ever!"

“Satan,” said He,
“why do you not bow to him whom My own hands have made? Are you too proud, or do you deem yourself
superior?”
Satan replied: “I
am nobler than he. You created me
from fire, but him from clay.”
“Be gone, you accursed!”
said He. “My curse shall
remain on you until the Day of Reckoning.”
He replied:
“Reprieve me, Lord, till the Day of Resurrection.”
He said: “Reprieved
you shall be till the Appointed Day.”
“I swear by Your glory,”
said Satan, “that I will deduce them all except your faithful
servants.”
He replied: “Learn
the truth, then (and I speak nothing but the truth): I will surely fill Hell with your offspring
and with your followers all.”
Sad 38:71-85
Creation of man
It was He who created you from dust, then from a little
germ, and then from a clot of blood.
He brings you as infants into the world; you reach manhood, then
decline into old age (though some die young), so that you may serve your
appointed term and grow in wisdom.
It is He who ordains life and death. If He decrees a thing, He need only
say: “Be,” and it is.
Gafir The
Believer 40:67-68
Creation of Man and Jinn
He created man from potter’s clay, and the jinn from
smokeless fire.

14 Then the four living creatures said, "Amen!" And
the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and
ever. NKJV
Hebrews 1:7-14
7 And of the angels He says:
"Who makes His angels
spirits
And His ministers a flame of
fire."
8 But to the Son He says:
"Your throne, O God, is
forever and ever;
A scepter of righteousness is the
scepter of Your Kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness
and hated lawlessness;
Therefore God, Your God, has
anointed You
With the oil of gladness more
than Your companions."
10 And:
"You, LORD, in the beginning
laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of
Your hands.
11 They will perish, but You
remain;
And they will all grow old like a
garment;
12 Like a cloak You will fold
them up,
And they will be changed.
But You are the same,
And Your years will not
fail."
13 But to which of the angels has He ever said:
"Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your
footstool"?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to
minister for those who will inherit salvation?
NKJV
Hebrews 2
2:1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the
things we have heard, lest we drift away. 2 For if the word spoken through
angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a
just reward, 3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which
at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those
who heard Him, 4 God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with
various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?
5 For He has not put the world to come, of which we speak,
in subjection to angels. 6 But one testified in a certain place, saying:
"What is man that You are mindful of him, Or
the son of man that You take care of him?
7 You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned
him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands. 8 You have put all things in subjection
under his feet."
For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing
that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under
him. 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the
suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of
God, might taste death for everyone.
10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and
by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain
of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both He who sanctifies
and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not
ashamed to call them brethren, 12 saying:
"I will declare Your name to My brethren; In
the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You."
13 And again:
"I will put My trust in
Him."
And again:
"Here am I and the children whom God has
given Me."
14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh
and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He
might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and
release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to
bondage. 16 For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does
give aid to the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, in all things He had to be
made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest
in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid
those who are tempted.
