O Children of Adam! The Shaytan should not tempt you, as he caused your parents to be expelled from paradise and removed their clothes to show them their shame. He and his group see you from where you do not see them. Indeed, We made the Shaytan friends for those who do not believe.

Then when he recovered, he said, “Praise be to you, I repent to you, and I am first of the believers.” [(Note: Why you can not see Allah (Subhan-a- Wa Taala) He is the Creator, and created things have to be different from the Creator.

Soon, I will turn away my signs from those arrogant on the earth without justification. And when they see any sign, they do not believe in it; even when they see the right path, they will not take it; and when they see a way inclined towards seduction (and temptation), they will hold it for a course. That is because they denied Our signs, and (to Our Signs) they have not paid attention (they are inattentive and negligent).

And he placed the slabs; and took hold of his brother's head, dragging him to himself. He (Haroon) said, "Son of my mother, indeed, the nation made me weak, and they were about to kill me; so, do not malice me with the enemies, and do not make (count) me with the nation of the unjust."

Say, "O the humankind; I am Allah's Messenger to you all, the One (Allah) for Whom is the kingdom of the universe and the earth. There is no God except Him. He gives life, and He gives death." So, believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered Prophet who believes in Allah and His Words. And follow him so that maybe you will be guided.

We divided them into twelve (12) tribal communities. And We Inspired Musa when he asked for drink (water) for his nation, “Strike on the rock with his staff.” Then twelve springs gushed out from it. Then, all people came to know of each of their drinking places. And We provided shade on them with clouds and sent them Manna and Salwa: “Eat from the clean things from what We have provided for you.” And We were not unjust to them, but they were unjust to themselves.

Nor can you say, “Our forefathers have made partners before, and we are their offspring after them (we were only following what our forefathers have shown us); will You destroy us because of what was done by those who were on falsehood?”
