وَلَقَد عَهِدنا إِلىٰ آدَمَ مِن قَبلُ فَنَسِيَ وَلَم نَجِد لَهُ عَزمًا

We had previously covenanted with Adam, but he forgot, and We found no resolve in him.

وَإِذ قُلنا لِلمَلائِكَةِ اسجُدوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدوا إِلّا إِبليسَ أَبىٰ

When We commanded the angels, “Prostrate yourselves before Adam,” they all complied, except for Iblis, who refused.

فَقُلنا يا آدَمُ إِنَّ هـٰذا عَدُوٌّ لَكَ وَلِزَوجِكَ فَلا يُخرِجَنَّكُما مِنَ الجَنَّةِ فَتَشقىٰ

We said, “O Adam, this is an enemy to you and your wife. Don’t let him drive you out of Paradise, or you will be miserable.

إِنَّ لَكَ أَلّا تَجوعَ فيها وَلا تَعرىٰ

In it, you will never experience hunger or nakedness.

وَأَنَّكَ لا تَظمَأُ فيها وَلا تَضحىٰ

And you won’t be thirsty or suffer from the sun’s heat.”

فَأَكَلا مِنها فَبَدَت لَهُما سَوآتُهُما وَطَفِقا يَخصِفانِ عَلَيهِما مِن وَرَقِ الجَنَّةِ ۚ وَعَصىٰ آدَمُ رَبَّهُ فَغَوىٰ

So they ate from it, and their nakedness was revealed to them. Consequently, they started covering themselves with leaves from the Garden. Adam disobeyed his Lord and strayed.

ثُمَّ اجتَباهُ رَبُّهُ فَتابَ عَلَيهِ وَهَدىٰ

But then, his Lord selected him, accepted his repentance, and provided guidance.

قالَ اهبِطا مِنها جَميعًا ۖ بَعضُكُم لِبَعضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۖ فَإِمّا يَأتِيَنَّكُم مِنّي هُدًى فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُدايَ فَلا يَضِلُّ وَلا يَشقىٰ

He commanded, “Descend from it, all of you, some of you enemies to others. However, when guidance from Me comes to you, those who follow My guidance will neither go astray nor be miserable.

وَمَن أَعرَضَ عَن ذِكري فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحشُرُهُ يَومَ القِيامَةِ أَعمىٰ

However, those who disregard My reminder will have a life of hardship, and on the Day of Resurrection, We will resurrect them blind.”

قالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرتَني أَعمىٰ وَقَد كُنتُ بَصيرًا

He will protest, “My Lord, why did You resurrect me blind, though I was sighted?”
