kept from evil, no longer distant. * This is that
which you were promised. It is for every penitent
and heedful one.* Who is apprehensive of The
Most Merciful unseen and comes with a returning
loving humble heart “ 50:29-33.

to a human whom You created out of clay from an
altered black mud. * God said: Then get out of it, for
indeed you are expelled. * And indeed, upon you is the
curse until the Day of Recompense. * He said: My
Lord, then reprieve me until the day they are
resurrected. * God said : So indeed, you are of those
reprieved. * Until the Day of time well-Known. * Iblees
said: My Lord, because you have sent me astray, I will
surely make disobedience attractive to them on earth
and I will mislead them all.* Except, among them, Your
chosen slaves”.
