#274 Podcast Al Quran Juz 16 QS 20 Taha 116-128

[Quran Chapter 20] 116. And when We said to the angels, "Bow down to Adam." They bowed down, except for Satan; he refused. 117. We said, "O Adam, this is an enemy to you and to your wife. So do not let him make you leave the Garden, for then you will suffer. 118. In it you will never go hungry, nor be naked. 119. Nor will you be thirsty in it, nor will you swelter." 120. But Satan whispered to him. He said, "O Adam, shall I show you the Tree of Immortality, and a kingdom that never decays?" 121. And so they ate from it; whereupon their bodies became visible to them, and they started covering themselves with the leaves of the Garden. Thus Adam disobeyed his Lord, and fell. 122. But then his Lord recalled him, and pardoned him, and guided him. 123. He said, "Go down from it, altogether; some of you enemies of some others. But whenever guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows My guidance, will not go astray, nor suffer. 124. But whoever turns away from My Reminder, for him is a confined life. And We will raise him on the Day of Resurrection blind." 125. He will say, "My Lord, why did You raise me blind, though I was seeing?" 126. He will say, "Just as Our revelations came to you, and you forgot them, today you will be forgotten." 127. Thus We recompense him who transgresses and does not believe in the revelations of his Lord. The punishment of the Hereafter is more severe, and more lasting. 128. Is it not instructive to them, how many generations before them We destroyed, in whose settlements they walk? Surely in that are signs for people of understanding.
