18:50

وَ اِذۡ قُلۡنَا لِلۡمَلٰٓئِکَۃِ اسۡجُدُوۡا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُوۡۤا اِلَّاۤ اِبۡلِیۡسَ ؕ کَانَ مِنَ الۡجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنۡ اَمۡرِ رَبِّہٖ ؕ اَفَتَتَّخِذُوۡنَہٗ وَ ذُرِّیَّتَہٗۤ اَوۡلِیَآءَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِیۡ وَ ہُمۡ لَکُمۡ عَدُوٌّ ؕ بِئۡسَ لِلظّٰلِمِیۡنَ بَدَلًا ﴿۵۰﴾

And [mention] when We said to the angels, “Prostrate to Adam,” and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was of the jinn and departed from the command of his Lord. Then will you take him and his descendants as allies other than Me while they are enemies to you? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange.

18:51

مَاۤ اَشۡہَدۡتُّہُمۡ خَلۡقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الۡاَرۡضِ وَ لَا خَلۡقَ اَنۡفُسِہِمۡ ۪ وَ مَا کُنۡتُ مُتَّخِذَ الۡمُضِلِّیۡنَ عَضُدًا ﴿۵۱﴾

I did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth or to the creation of themselves, and I would not have taken the misguiders as assistants.

18:52

وَ یَوۡمَ یَقُوۡلُ نَادُوۡا شُرَکَآءِیَ الَّذِیۡنَ زَعَمۡتُمۡ فَدَعَوۡہُمۡ فَلَمۡ یَسۡتَجِیۡبُوۡا لَہُمۡ وَ جَعَلۡنَا بَیۡنَہُمۡ مَّوۡبِقًا ﴿۵۲﴾

And [warn of] the Day when He will say, “Call ‘My partners’ whom you claimed,” and they will invoke them, but they will not respond to them. And We will put between them [a valley of] destruction.

18:53

وَ رَاَ الۡمُجۡرِمُوۡنَ النَّارَ فَظَنُّوۡۤا اَنَّہُمۡ مُّوَاقِعُوۡہَا وَ لَمۡ یَجِدُوۡا عَنۡہَا مَصۡرِفًا ﴿٪۵۳﴾

And the criminals will see the Fire and will be certain that they are to fall therein. And they will not find from it a way elsewhere.
18:54

وَ لَقَدۡ صَرَّفۡنَا فِیۡ ہٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنِ لِلنَّاسِ مِنۡ کُلِّ مَثَلٍ ؕ وَ کَانَ الۡاِنۡسَانُ اَکۡثَرَ شَیۡءٍ جَدَلًا ﴿۵۴﴾

And We have certainly diversified in this Qur’an for the people from every [kind of] example; but man has ever been, most of anything, [prone to] dispute.
Tafsir Ibne Kasir Said:-

The Story of Adam and Iblis

Allah points out to the Children of Adam the enmity of Iblis towards them and their father before them, and rebukes those who follow him and go against their Creator and Master. It is He who created them from nothing and sustains and nourishes them by His kindness, yet they still took Iblis as their friend and declared their enmity towards Allah.

So Allah says:

وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَإيِكَةِ

And (remember) when We said to the angels,

meaning all the angels, as was mentioned in the beginning of Surah Al-Baqarah.

اسْجُدُوا لاِدَمَ

Prostrate yourselves unto Adam,

a prostration of respect and honor, as Allah says:

وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَـيِكَةِ إِنِّى خَـلِقٌ بَشَرًا مِّن صَلْصَـلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ

فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِى فَقَعُواْ لَهُ سَـجِدِينَ

And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to create a human (Adam) from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud. So, when I have fashioned him completely and breathed into him the soul which I created for him, then fall (you) down prostrating yourselves unto him. (15:28-29)

فَسَجَدُوا إِلاَّ إِبْلِيسَ كَانَ مِنَ الْجِنِّ

So they prostrated themselves except Iblis. He was one of the Jinn;

meaning, his original nature betrayed him. He had been created from smokeless fire, whereas the angels had been created from light, as is stated in Sahih Muslim where it is reported that A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said that the Messenger of Allah said:

خُلِقَتِ الْمَلَيِكَةُ مِنْ نُورٍ

وَخُلِقَ إِبْلِيسُ مِنْ مَارِجٍ مِنْ نَارٍ

وَخُلِقَ ادَمُ مِمَّا وُصِفَ لَكُم

The angels were created from light,

Iblis was created from smokeless fire, and

Adam was created from that which has been described to you.

When matters are crucial, every vessel leaks that which it contains and is betrayed by its true nature. Iblis used to do what the angels did and resembled them in their devotion and worship, so he was included when they were addressed, but he disobeyed and went against what he was told to do. So Allah points out here that he was one of the Jinn, i.e., he was created from fire, as He says elsewhere:

أَنَاْ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِي مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِن طِينٍ

I am better than he. You created me from fire, and You created him from clay. (38:76)

Al-Hasan Al-Basri said,

“Iblis was not one of the angels, not even for a second. He was the origin of the Jinn just as Adam, upon him be peace, was the origin of mankind.”

This was narrated by Ibn Jarir with a Sahih chain.

فَفَسَقَ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِ

he disobeyed the command of his Lord.

meaning by stepping beyond the bounds of obedience to Allah.
Fisq (disobeying) implies going out or stepping beyond. When the date emerges from its flower, the verb used in Arabic is Fasaqat; the same verb is used to describe a mouse coming out of its hole when it comes out to do damage.

Then Allah says, rebuking those who follow and obey Iblis:

أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُ أَوْلِيَاء مِن دُونِي

Will you then take him and his offspring as protectors and helpers rather than Me!

meaning, instead of Me.

وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ

while they are enemies to you,

This is why Allah says:

بِيْسَ لِلظَّالِمِينَ بَدَلاً

What an evil is the exchange for the wrongdoers.

This is like the Ayah in Surah Ya Sin where, after mentioning the Resurrection and its terrors, and the ultimate end of the blessed and the doomed, Allah then says:

وَامْتَازُوا الْيَوْمَ أَيُّهَا الْمُجْرِمُونَ

(It will be said):”And O you the criminals! Get you apart this Day (from the believers). until;
أَفَلَمْ تَكُونُوا تَعْقِلُونَ
(Did you not then understand). (36:59-62)

The gods of the Idolators did not witness the Creation of anything, not even Themselves

Allah says:

مَا أَشْهَدتُّهُمْ خَلْقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالاْاَرْضِ وَلَاا خَلْقَ أَنفُسِهِمْ

They did not witness the creation of the heavens and the earth nor their own creation,

Allah says that these whom you take as helpers instead of Me are creatures just like you. They do not possess anything and did not witness the creation of heaven and earth, because they did not exist at that time.’

Allah says, `I am the One Who independently and exclusively creates and controls all things, and I have no partner, associate or advisor in that.’

As Allah says:

قُلِ ادْعُواْ الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِثُقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَلَا فِى الاٌّرْضِ وَمَا لَهُمْ فِيهِمَا مِن شِرْكٍ وَمَا لَهُ مِنْهُمْ مِّن ظَهِيرٍ

وَلَا تَنفَعُ الشَّفَـعَةُ عِندَهُ إِلاَّ لِمَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ

Say:”Call upon those you claim besides Allah, they possess not even a speck of dust in the heavens or on the earth, nor have they any share in either, nor is there for Him any assistant among them.

Intercession with Him profits not except for him whom He permits. (34:22-23)

Similarly Allah says here:

وَمَا كُنتُ مُتَّخِذَ الْمُضِلِّينَ عَضُدًا

nor did I take those who mislead as `Adudan.

Malik said:

“Assistants.

 

Their Partners are not able to respond and the Criminals are brought to the Fire

Allah tells;

وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ

And (remember) the Day He will say:

Allah tells us how He will address the idolators on the Day of Resurrection before all of creation, rebuking and scolding them,

نَادُوا شُرَكَايِيَ الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ

Call those (so-called) partners of Mine whom you claimed.

meaning, in the world. Call them today to save you from the situation you are in!

Allah says:

وَلَقَدْ جِيْتُمُونَا فُرَادَى كَمَا خَلَقْنَـكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَتَرَكْتُمْ مَّا خَوَّلْنَـكُمْ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِكُمْ وَمَا نَرَى مَعَكُمْ شُفَعَأءَكُمُ الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ أَنَّهُمْ فِيكُمْ شُرَكَأءُ لَقَد تَّقَطَّعَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنكُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ

And truly, you have come unto Us alone as We created you the first time. You have left what you were given behind your backs and We do see not with you your intercessors whom you claimed were your partners. Now all relations between you and them have been cut off, and all that you used to claim has vanished from you. (6:94)

فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا لَهُمْ

Then they will cry unto them, but they will not answer them.

As Allah says:

وَقِيلَ ادْعُواْ شُرَكَأءَكُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُواْ لَهُمْ

And it will be said (to them):”Call upon those partners of yours,” then they will call upon them, but they will not answer them. (28:64)

And the Ayah:

وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّن يَدْعُو مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَن لاَّ يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ

And who is more astray than one who calls others besides Allah, such as will not answer him. (46:5) Until the end of the two Ayat;

And:

وَاتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ ءالِهَةً لِّيَكُونُواْ لَهُمْ عِزّاً

كَلَّ سَيَكْفُرُونَ بِعِبَـدَتِهِمْ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدّاً

And they have taken gods besides Allah, that they may grant them honor. Nay, but they will deny their worship of them, and become opponents to them. (19:81-82)

وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّوْبِقًا

and We shall put Mawbiq between them.

Ibn Abbas, Qatadah and others said:

“Destruction.”

The meaning is that Allah is stating that these idolators will have no way of reaching the gods they claimed in this world. He will separate them in the Hereafter and neither party will have any means of reaching the other. There will be devastation, great horrors and other terrible things in between them.

Abdullah bin Amr understood the pronoun in the phrase “between them” to refer to the believers and the disbelievers, meaning that the people of guidance and the people of misguidance will be separated.

This then is like the Ayat:

وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ يَوْمَيِذٍ يَتَفَرَّقُونَ

And on the Day when the Hour will be established — that Day shall (all men) be separated. (30:14)

يَوْمَيِذٍ يَصَّدَّعُونَ

On that Day men shall be divided. (30:43)

وَامْتَازُواْ الْيَوْمَ أَيُّهَا الْمُجْرِمُونَ

(It will be said), “And O you the criminals! Get you apart this Day (from the believers). (36:59)

وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ نَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُواْ مَكَانَكُمْ أَنتُمْ وَشُرَكَأوُكُمْ فَزَيَّلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ

And on the Day when We shall gather them all together, then We shall say to those who joined partners, “Stop in your place! You and your partners.” Then We shall separate between them… until,

وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ

And what they invented will vanish from them. (10:28-30)

Then Allah says

 

 

وَرَأَى الْمُجْرِمُونَ النَّارَ فَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُم مُّوَاقِعُوهَا

And the criminals shall see the Fire and apprehend that they are to fall therein.

meaning when they see Hell with their own eyes, since it is being dragged forth by seventy thousand reins, each pulled by seventy thousand angels. When,
وَرَأَى الْمُجْرِمُونَ النَّارَ
(the criminals shall see the Fire), they will realize that they cannot escape being thrown into it, and that will only intensify their anxiety and distress, because the anticipation and fear of punishment is in itself a real punishment.

وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا عَنْهَا مَصْرِفًا

And they will find no way of escape from it.

means, they will have no way of fleeing, it will be inevitable

 

 

Examples put forth in the Qur’an

Allah says,

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِي هَذَا الْقُرْانِ لِلنَّاسِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ وَكَانَ الاِْنسَانُ أَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلاً

And indeed We have given every kind of example in this Qur’an for mankind. But, man is ever more quarrelsome than anything.

Allah says, `In this Qur’an, We have explained to mankind and given clear details of matters so that they will not stray from the truth or be misled from the path of guidance. Despite this explanation, man is very quarrelsome and opposes truth with falsehood,’ except for those whom Allah guides to the path of salvation.

Imam Ahmad recorded that Ali bin Abi Talib said that;

the Messenger of Allah came to visit him and Fatima, the daughter of Allah’s Messenger at night, and said,

أَلَا تُصَلِّيَانِ

Are you not going to pray?

I said, “O Messenger of Allah, our souls are in the Hand of Allah. If He wills to wake us, He will wake us.”

When I said that, he went away without returning.

Then I heard him as he was walking away, slapping his thigh and saying,

وَكَانَ الاِْنسَانُ أَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلاً

But, man is ever more quarrelsome than anything.”

It was also recorded in the Two Sahihs
