The meaning of Verse 50
Remember when WE commanded to the Angels,
"Prostrate before Adam!".
All of them prostrated except Iblis. He belongs to the species of the genie.
He disobeyed the Commandments of his Lord.
He disobeyed the Commandments of his Lord.
"Is it appropiate that you take him and his ancestors and descendants as a leader other than ME. While he is your enemy?"
Iblis is the worst subsitute for GOD takenby the wrongdoers.
====================================================
Imam Jalalain commented that :-
The prostration is a bow in respect to Adam, not by putting the eyebrow.
[I do not understand what Imam Jalalaian meant by "not by putting the eyebrow"]
There are some opinions that Iblis is also an angel.
Others opinion said that he is the chief of the genie. He has got ancestors while the angels has no ancestors.
By refusing to bow to Adam, Iblis had ptotested and do not want to obey GOD.
The theme in this verse was for Prophet Adam and his descendants. At two instances the pronoun refers to Iblis, whom you follow.
It is wrong to follow the Iblis and his decendants as an alternative to ALLAH
[my understanding]
This verse shows man's inclinations to follows our desires, whims and fancies, instead of following the way of life as spelt out by GOD through the teachings of the prophets.
This verse is also meant for all human as we are all the descendants of Prophet Adam, because he was the first man created by GOD]
*************
Commentary by Harun Yahya :-
This verse points out the importance of obedience.
Iblis did not prostrate before Adam and disobeyed ALLAH.
In any society, law and order are established by the obedience, respect and trust that the people give to the state.
Religious morality prevents people from acts of violence and terror, because ALLAH forbids people to cause corruption. Those who live by this morality, will naturally do their best to refrain from evil.
They will follow the teaching of moral in the Quran and acquire contentment and inner peace, tolerance and a measured and non-provocative attitude and seek to create harmony.
If the Quran's morals and social modelsare accepted in society, peace and harmony will rule.
Those who live according to Quran's morality, as introduced by Islam, are helpful and tolerant.
There will be no arguments, disputes, terrorism and hostilities between the people and the police and governments.
