بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى عِزَّةٍ وَشِقَاقٍ
Nay, but those who disbelieve are in false pride and schism.

Saving Iblis; he was scornful and became one of the disbelievers.
Illa ibleesa istakbara wakanamina alkafireen
قَالَ يَـٰٓإِبْلِيسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَن تَسْجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقْتُ بِيَدَىَّ ۖ أَسْتَكْبَرْتَ أَمْ كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْعَالِينَ
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?

Qala fakhruj minhafa-innaka rajeem
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ لَعْنَتِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
And lo! My curse is on thee till the Day of Judgment.

Until the day of the time appointed.
Ila yawmi alwaqti almaAAloom
قَالَ فَبِعِزَّتِكَ لَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
He said: Then, by Thy might, I surely will beguile them every one,
Qala fabiAAizzatika laoghwiyannahumajmaAAeen
إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ

That I shall fill hell with thee and with such of them as follow thee, together.
Laamlaanna jahannama minka wamimmantabiAAaka minhum ajmaAAeen
قُلْ مَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ
Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): I ask of you no fee for this, and I am no simulating.
Qul ma as-alukum AAalayhi min ajrinwama ana mina almutakallifeen
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
Lo! it is naught else than a reminder for all peoples
In huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameen
وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ نَبَأَهُۥ بَعْدَ حِينٍۭ
And ye will come in time to know the truth thereof.
