                        "He said: "I will not prostrate myself to the man whom You created out of dried and aged clay."          
        
        
          All the angels, except Iblis, accepted that man was created superior to them:

                                        "When We said to the angels, "Prostrate yourselves to Adam,"they all prostrated except Iblis. He said, "Am I to prostrate to what you created out of clay?"

                                        "He said, "Do you see this one whom You have made superior to me? If You delay me until the Day of Resurrection, I will possess and destroy his progeny except a few."

                                        O Iblis, what prevents you from prostrating to that which I created with my hands? Were you arrogant? Or did you rebel?

                                        "He said, "I am superior to him,"he said, "You created me from the Fire and created him from clay."
