(30) ˹Mention Muhammad˺[58] When your Lord said to the angels: “I shall instate a successor[59] on Earth!” They said: “Will you instate in it one who sows corruption and sheds blood, whereas we ˹incessantly˺ glorify You in gratitude to You and exalt You?”[60] He said: “I know that which you do not”.
[58] Abū al-Baqā’ al-Kafawī (al-Kulliyyāt, p. 69) says: “Whenever ˹the particle˺ idh is mentioned in the Qur’an it implies ˹the command˺ ‘mention!’ That is, mention ˹Muhammad˺ to them ˹the ones to whom the Qur’an is being recited˺ or recall in your mind… most exegetes agree to this”. [59] Khalīfah is derived from khalafa which denotes standing in place of someone else (Ibn Fāris, Maqāyīs al-Lughah, 2: 210; al-Iṣfahānī, al-Mufradāt, p. 294). Here, it means someone who comes after another and takes his place; these are mankind, Adam and his progeny, who successively take over each other’s place, generation after generation, until the Day of Judgement. (al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Shinqīṭī) [60] Abū Dharr (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) was asked: “What is the best utterance?” He replied: “Whatever Allah chose for His angels and servants: “Subḥān Allāh wa bi-ḥamdih (Glorified be Allah and ˹we do this˺ in gratitude to Him)”. (Muslim: 2731)
(33) He said: “Adam! Tell them their names”. When he told them their names, He said: “Did I not instruct you that I know what is hidden in the Heavens and the Earth?—and I know what you make public and what you hide”[61].
[61] This quiz was posed to the angels, the closest to God of His creation, to prove to them, by practical example, the Truth of God’s All-Encompassing Knowledge, and, in turn, the Wisdom of His Choice. It is also a concrete manifestation of God’s infinite Justice, which allows for questioning by even the most obedient of His subjects, the angels. This Most Able of Sovereigns answers their concerns.
(34) ˹Mention Muhammad˺ When We said to the angels: “Bow down to Adam!”[62]; they bowed down except Iblīs[63]; he refused, became arrogant[64] and was one of the Deniers.
[62] The command to the angels to bow down to Adam is an act of worship to God and reverence to Adam who was honoured by God Himself. (al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī, al-Shinqīṭī) [63] Iblīs is Satan. Etymologically, iblīs comes from iblās, i.e. having no hope in good things, grief and sadness caused by utter despair. (Ibn Qutaybah, Gharīb al-Qur’ān, p. 23; al-Iṣfahānī, al-Mufradāt, p. 143) [64] His arrogance is spelled out elsewhere in the Qur’an; 7: 12, 38: 76, 15: 33.
(35) We said: “Adam! Dwell yourself and your wife in the Garden[65] and eat thereof ˹bountifully˺ aplenty wherever you wish, but do not come near this tree, or ˹else˺ you will be from among the wrongful”.
[65] This Garden is Paradise, the very Heavenly abode of eternal bliss. (al-Qurṭubī, Ibn Taymiyyah, Majmūʿ al-Fatāwā, 4: 347, Ibn Kathīr, Ibn ʿĀshūr)
(36) Satan tripped them into it[66] and drove them out from where they were[67]; We said: “Go down, as enemies to each other. In Earth will be your dwelling and livelihood for a given time[68]”.
[66] How he managed to do this is told in more detail in 7: 20-22. [67] The great blessing of dwelling in Paradise. [68] Until the Day of Judgement. (al-Ṭabarī, al-Saʿdī, Ibn ʿĀshūr)
(37) Adam received a few words[69] from His Lord, and He forgave him; He is the All-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
[69] These kalimāt or ‘words’, or supplication, are provided in 7: 23: “They ˹both˺ said: “Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers”.
