Great Regulars: by Allama Iqbal

(translated by M. Shahid Alam)

Translator's note: In the Qur'anic account of man's creation, God asks the angels to bow down to Adam; they bow down, except Iblīs. God banishes Iblīs but, granting his request, gives him the power to tempt and waylay humans except those who submit in sincerity to their Lord.

from The American Muslim: Gabriel and Iblīs
