M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

62. And they shall say: What is the matter with us that we do not see men whom we used to count among the vicious?

63. Was it that we (only) took them in scorn, or have our eyes (now) turned aside from them?

64. That most surely is the truth: the contending one with another of the inmates of the lire.

Section 5

65. Say: I am only a warner, and there is no god but Allah, the One, the Subduer (of all):

66. The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Mighty, the most Forgiving.

67. Say: It is a message of importance,

68. (And) you are turning aside from it:

69. I had no knowledge of the exalted chiefs when they contended:

70. Naught is revealed to me save that I am a plain warner.

71. When your Lord said to the angels; Surely I am going to create a mortal from dust:

72. So when I have made him complete and breathed into him of My spirit, then fall down making obeisance to him.

73. And the angels did obeisance, all of them,

74. But not Iblis: he was proud and he was one of the unbelievers.
