وَالطَّوَاغِيْتُ كَثِيرةٌ وَرُؤُسُهُمْ خَمْسَةٌ: إِبْلِيسُ لَعَنَهُ اللهُ، وَمَنْ عَبَدَ وَهُوَ رَاضٍ، وَمَنْ دَعَا النَّاسَ إِلَى عِبَادَةِ نَفْسِهِ، وَمَنِ ادَّعَى شَيْئًا مِنَ عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ؛

The false deities (tawaghit) are many, and their heads are five: Iblis—may Allah curse him—, one who is worshipped while he is content with it, one who calls people to worship himself, and one who claims any part of the knowledge of the unseen.

إِبْلِيسُ هُوَ الشَّيْطَانُ الرَّجِيمُ اللَّعِينُ الَّذِي قَالَ اللهُ لَهُ: ﴿وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ لَعْنَتِي إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ﴾

Iblis is the accursed, damned Satan to whom Allah said: 'And indeed, upon you is My curse until the Day of Recompense.'

وَكَانَ إِبْلِيسُ مَعَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ فِي صُحْبَتِهِمْ يَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِهِمْ، وَلَمَّا أُمِرَ بِالسُّجُودِ لِآدَمَ ظَهَرَ مَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْخُبْثِ وَالْإِبَاءِ وَالِاسْتِكْبَارِ فَأَبَى وَاسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ فَطُرِدَ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.

Iblis was with the angels in their company, performing their deeds, but when he was commanded to prostrate to Adam, the malice, refusal, and arrogance within him were revealed; so he refused, acted arrogantly, and became one of the disbelievers, and thus he was cast out from the mercy of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic.
