or your protecting friends instead of Me, when they are an enemy unto
you? Calamitous is the exchange for evil-doers.

S: And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam; they made
obeisance but Iblis (did it not). He was of the jinn, so he
transgressed the commandment of his Lord. What! would you then take him
and his offspring for friends rather than Me, and they are your
enemies? Evil is (this) change for the unjust.

Y: I called them not to witness the creation of the heavens and the
earth, nor (even) their own creation: nor is it for helpers such as Me
to take as lead (men) astray!

P: I made them not to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth,
nor their own creation; nor choose I misleaders for (My) helpers.

earth, nor of the creation of their own souls; nor could I take those
who lead (others) astray for aiders.

P: And the guilty behold the Fire and know that they are about to fall
therein, and they find no way of escape thence.

S: And the guilty shall see the fire, then they shall know that they are
going to fall into it, and they shall not find a place to which to turn

Y: We have explained in detail in this Qur'an, for the benefit of
mankind, every kind of similitude: but man is, in most things,
contentious.

P: And verily We have displayed for mankind in this Qur'an all manner of
similitudes, but man is more than anything contentious.
