50a. And (remember) when We said unto the
angels: Fall prostrate before Adam, and they fell prostrate, all save Iblis.
He was of the Jinn, so he rebelled against his Lord’s Command.

Commentary
Fa-fasaqa – {so (he)
rebelled}, it is past tense from the word fisq, which means “to cross
the Line, to rebel, to disobey”.
The mankind has the things to
meditate, but he delays from taking work from the things. And one such enemy
has been teasing him who wants, by deceiving and enticing, to keep his sense
entangled in the things which are transitory and of a passing nature. Alas! The
mankind does not know the foe of his sense. It is the reason that the story of his
forefather Adam (peace be upon him) has been being reminded again and again. Therefore,
here too, his attention has been drawn again towards it according to
circumstances that “did he not remember that when Adam (peace be upon him) was
born, We commanded to the Angels (peace be upon them) that they should fall
prostrate before him? The Angels fell prostrate as soon as We commanded, but Iblis
who was from the kind of Jinn, and who was included among the Angels due to his
worship, he denied, disobeyed the Command of his Lord and rebelled openly. He became
enemy of Adam (peace be upon him) because Allah Almighty determined him as
accursed because of falling not prostrate before Adam (peace be upon him). Then
because this curse was fixed upon him due to Adam (peace be upon him), so he
got ready to trouble him and asked for life from Allah Almighty until the
establishment of the world. Therefore his request was sanctioned. Now every
time his only work is to mislead the children of Adam (peace be upon him)
continuously from the prescribed Path of God Almighty and keep the sense of
mankind entangled in transitory things of the world.
