Surah Araf ayat 12 Tafsir Quran 7:12

﴿قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلَّا تَسْجُدَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَ ۖ قَالَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِي مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِن طِينٍ﴾
[ الأعراف: 12]

7:12 [Allah] said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?" [Satan] said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."

He exalted be He said ‘What prevented you from falling prostrate allā is made up of an-lā the lā being extra when I commanded you?’ He Iblīs said ‘I am better than him. You created me from fire while him You created from clay’.

Then Allah asked: What prompted you AL-Shaytan not to prostrate to Adam when I commanded you to do so!. But I am of a better sort than he is. Said AL-Shaytan; You created me from fire whereas You created him from clay

( He said: What hindered thee ) Allah said to Iblis: what prevents you ( that thou didst not fall prostrate ) to Adam ( when I bade thee ) to prostrate? ( (Iblis ) said: I am better than him. Thou createdst me of fire while him Thou didst create of mud) I am made of fire while he is made of mud, and fire devours mud.

(Allah) said: "What prevented you (O Iblis) that you did not prostrate, when I commanded you?" Iblis said: "I am better than him (Adam), You created me from fire, and him You created from clay."
