Overall meaning : The Almighty states that He created Adam out of dried sounding clay formed from black fetid mud, and that He created Satan, the progenitor of the jinn, before the creation of Adam from intensely hot fire.
Then He recounts the story of what happened when He commanded the angels and Satan to do when He wanted to create Adam: Mention to the people, Muhammad, the time when your Lord said to the angels, ‘I am going to create a human being out of dried sounding clay formed from black fetid mud. Therefore, when I have formed him and breathed spirit, which is of My Own creation, into him to become a living being, fall down in prostration to him in token of respect.’

So all the angels obediently prostrated, as Allah had commanded them, except Ibless (Satan), who arrogantly refused to prostrate when commanded to do so. ‘Iblees,’ Allah asked him, ‘what is it that prevents you from joining the angels in prostration?’ Satan, driven by pride and envy, replied, ‘It is not for me to prostrate to a human being You created from dried sounding clay formed from black fetid mud.’ Allah said, ‘Then get out of Paradise. You are expelled from all good, and the curse will be on you until Judgement Day, when you will be repaid for your evil deeds.’ ‘My Lord,’ Satan appealed, ‘do not cause me to die and delay my end until the day you will resurrect the dead.’ Allah said, ‘You are among those who will be delayed until the appointed day, when all creation will fall dead after the first blow of the Trumpet, except whom I will.’ Satan said, ‘My Lord, since You have allowed me to go astray, I will make the path of error seem alluring to them on earth and make them all stray from the right path, except those among them whom You have chosen to be rightly-guided.’ Allah said, ‘This is a straight path that leads to Me and to My Paradise. You will certainly have no authority over My believing servants who worship Me alone and whom I have guided. You have authority only over those who, having gone astray and fallen into error, choose to follow you; and surely you and they are all destined for Hell. It has seven gates, through each of which a group of your followers will enter it commensurate with their evil deeds.’
