Lessons and Reflections
AYAH 30
And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord
said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the
earth a successive authority." They said, "Will
You place upon it one who causes corruption
therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your
praise and sanctify You?" Allah said, "Indeed, I
know that which you do not know."
AYAH 30
• Malak: To bring and deliver messages; made
of light
• They aren’t robots, however, they are made to
obey and worship Allah SWT
• They have intellect; possess different roles and
ranks
• Jibreel A.S.  Brings down revelation
AYAH 30
• Jeem Aain Laam: to make something; to place
something
• Khaa Laam Faa: used for behind; Khaleef: one
who comes after someone and takes his place;
also used for a deputy  one who works
under someone else

Two types of
Questions
For Answer
In Objection
What is our intention when we question about deen?
AYAH 30
• Seen Faa Kaaf – to spill
• Daal Meem Waw – plural form for blood (they
will shed lots of blood)
• Why did the angels mention this?
– The species before human did the same as well
because of free will
– Khalifa is supposed to establish justice on the
earth; so the angels are asking if humans will
cause fasad
AYAH 30
• SEEN BAA HAA – lit. to travel a long distance;
Tasbeeh: to declare Allah free from anything
that does not befit Him. Tasbeeh done in
words and also in the heart
• HAMD – negation is only partial praise; to say
only the good things someone does or the bad
things that someone doesn’t do
• In tasbeeh there is negation and in hamd
there is affirmation = complete praise
AYAH 30
AYAH 30
QAAF DAAL SEEN – pure; far away; Taqdees: to purify
something
We purify ourselves for you
We purify you from that which does not
befit you
We pray to you
We exalt you out of sincerity
AYAH 30
• The angels are saying that if you’re creating a
species for glorifying Allah, then we’re already
doing that
• Allah SWT only knows the wisdom of creating
Adam A.S.
• There are humans who do fasaad, but so
many do good as well, and worship sincerely
• Angels don’t have to face any challenges but
humans have to fight their own nafs, shaitaan
etc.
Allah told us about our origin, He didn’t
leave us in Mystery
Key For Good Relations
Before doing a task, it is liked that you
present what you are about to do
AYAH 31
And He taught Adam the names - all
of them. Then He showed them to the
angels and said, "Inform Me of the
names of these, if you are truthful."
AYAH 31
• AAIN LAAM MEEM – to give or to teach
knowledge; used for formal teaching
• Adam – (Admah): surface/crust of the earth;
he was created from mud
• Al Asmaa – 1. All things that have names; 2. all
those things that were present at that time; 3.
the names of all the human beings/his
children
• NOON BAA HAMZA – important & relevant
news
What do we Learn from Ayah 31?
Importance of Knowledge
Allah gave the angels a quiz and proved it to
them that Adam(a.s) knew more than them.
Allah taught them through Practical Example
AYAH 32
- Angels didn’t have the knowledge of those
things
- They acknowledge and realize their mistake
- Hakeem = all Your actions and decisions and
sayings are based on wisdom
AYAH 32: LESSONS
Beautiful Reaction of Angels
They Submitted
Greatness is in submitting, accepting your
mistake
AYAH 33
He said, "O Adam, inform them of their
names." And when he had informed them
of their names, He said, "Did I not tell you
that I know the unseen [aspects] of the
heavens and the earth? And I know what
you reveal and what you have concealed."
AYAH 33
• BAA DAAL WAW – to make something
known/reveal unintentionally
• KAAF TAA MEEM – to hide something
deliberately
AYAH 34
And [mention] when We said to the angels,
"Prostrate before Adam"; so they prostrated,
except for Iblees. He refused and was
arrogant and became of the disbelievers.
AYAH 34
• Sajdah – place your forehead on the ground
out of humility to the person
• The angels did this because it was a command
of Allah SWT
• Sajdah out of respect NOT worship
• The angels had to respect Adam A.S. because
he had more knowledge than them
Angels Submission
Refusal and Arrogance  Disbelief
AYAH 34
• BAA LAAM SEEN – completely hopeless;
hopeless of Allah’s mercy
• HAMZA BAA YAA – to refuse something
harshly “no way”
Two
Behaviors
Behavior of
Satan
Arrogance
Behavior of
Angels
Obedience
AYAH 34
• KAAF BAA RAA – Shaitaan became extremely
arrogant
• Who is Iblees?
– He was and is a jinn; father of jinns
– He was very righteous therefore, he was in the
company of the angels
– But it was only outwardly, therefore his heart had
not truly submitted to Allah
– I am made of fire, and fire is better than clay
AYAH 34
• KUFR: kufr of arrogance
• Iblees refused one sajdah and that was only to
Adam A.S. and his result was that he became a
disbeliever
• So what about when we refuse to do sajdah to
Allah SWT in salaah?
LESSONS
• Angels Submission
• Refusal and Arrogance  Disbelief
• Do we become hopeless of Allah’s mercy,
and if so, then who are we resembling?
