A conversation between Allah and Satan

  When Allah Almighty created Adam, formed Him in the perfect creation, and breathed into Him from His Spirit, He commanded the Angels to prostrate to Adam, so they all prostrated before Adam except for Iblis (Satan), as Allah has stated in Aya (11) of Surat Ala'raf {And indeed, We have created you, and given you form, then We said to the Angels Prostrate to Adam, and they prostrated except for Iblis, he was not of those who prostrated}. Satan was not one of the Angels, but he was one of the Jinn, and he rebelled against Allah's command as Allah has stated in Aya (50) of Surat Alkahf, so he was not of those who prostrated before Adam, then the following conversation took place between Allah and Satan as mentioned in Ayat (12-18) of Surat Ala'raf:

Allah said: What prevented you that you did not prostrate when I commanded you?.

Satan said: I am better than him, You created me from fire and created him from clay. 

Allah said: Go down from it, for it is not for you to be arrogant therein, so Get out, indeed, you are of the despised.

Satan said: Respite me until the day they are resurrected.  

Allah said: indeed, you are of those given respite.

Satan said: because You have let me astray, I will surely sit for them on Your straight path, then I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful.

Allah said: Get out from it, reprehensible, banished, whoever follows you among them, I will surely fill Hellfire with you, all together.

 Thereupon, Allah asked Iblis about what prevented him from prostrating to Adam when He commanded him to do so, but Iblis showed arrogance and claimed that he is better than Adam; because he was created from fire and Adam was created from clay, and the fire is better than the clay in his claim for it burns the clay, thereupon, Allah expelled Iblis from Paradise and commanded him to descend from it for it is not for him to be arrogant in Paradise, disdaining the command of his Lord for the inhabitants of Paradise are not arrogant to worship Allah, so Allah said to him Go out of Paradise, indeed, you are of those humiliated. Then Iblis asked Allah not to die, and to delay him until the day all creation will be resurrected, so Allah delayed Him until the day of resurrection.

  Iblis said to Allah just as You let me astray because Adam, I will surely sit for the Children of Adam on your straight path, so I will lead them astray from the path of truth and salvation, and will adorn the falsehood for them until they perish as I perished and go astray as I went astray, so that they will not worship You, and I will not leave a path of truth and falsehood except that I will come to them from, so I will come to them from before them, from behind them, from their right and from their left, so I will turn them away from the truth and adorn falsehood to them, and I will adorn the worldly life and its pleasures to them, I will make them doubt about the Hereafter that there will be no resurrection, nor Paradise, nor Hellfire, I will keep them away from doing good deeds, and I will encourage them to do evil deeds, and You will not find most of them grateful for the blessings that you have bestowed upon them, so most of them will not acknowledge Your oneness nor will they follow Your commands and prohibitions, but rather, most of them will associate others with You, thereupon, Allah said to Iblis, Get out of Paradise reprehensible for your bad behavior and actions, humiliated, and banished from Allah's mercy, then Allah promised him that He will fill Hellfire on the day of resurrection with him and whoever follows him from among the children of Adam, and Iblis has found his assumption true about them, so they followed him except a group of the believers, as Allah has stated in Aya (20) of Surat Saba'.
