Explanatory Notes

“And when We said to the angels, ‘Prostrate yourselves before Adam,’ they all prostrated themselves; except Iblīs, who refused.” (Verse 116)  This first episode of the story is given in very general terms, without the details given in other sūrahs. The general context here is one of mercy, care and blessings. Hence, these aspects are brought forth very quickly: “Adam,’ We said, ‘this is indeed a foe to you and your wife; so let him not drive the two of you out of the Garden, for then you will be plunged into affliction.
