Al-A'raf (The Heights)

Surah 7 · Verse 12

He (Allah) said, “What prevented you, that you did not bow down when I commanded you?” He (Iblis) said, “I am better than him, You created me from fire whereas You created him from clay.”

قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلَّا تَسْجُدَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَ ۖ قَالَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِي مِنْ نَارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِنْ طِينٍ
