Qur'an
Creation of Adam, Jealousy & Deception of Iblis and the Fall
When your Lord said to the angels,"Indeed I am going to set a viceroy on the earth," they said, "Will You set in it someone who will cause corruption in it, and shed blood, while we celebrate Your praise and proclaim Your sanctity?" He said, "Indeed I know what you do not know."And He taught Adam the Names, all of them; then presented them to the angels and said, "Tell me the names of these, if you are truthful."
They said, "Immaculate are You! We have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Indeed You are the All-knowing, the All-wise."
He said, "O Adam, inform them of their names," and when he had informed them of their names, He said, "Did I not tell you that I indeed know the Unseen in the heavens and the earth, and that I know whatever you disclose and whatever you were concealing?"
And when We said to the angels, "Prostrate before Adam," they prostrated, but not Iblis: he refused and acted arrogantly, and he was one of the faithless.
We said, "O Adam, dwell with your mate in paradise, and eat thereof freely whencesoever you wish; but do not approach this tree, lest you should be among the wrongdoers."
Then Satan caused them to stumble from it, and he dislodged them from what they were in; and We said, "Get down, being enemies of one another! On the earth shall be your abode and sustenance for a time." (2:30-36)
When We said to the angels, "Prostrate before Adam," they prostrated, but not Iblis. He was one of the jinn, so he transgressed against his Lord's command. Will you then take him and his offspring for guardians in My stead, though they are your enemies? How evil a substitute for the wrongdoers! (18:50)
He said, "O Iblis! What keeps you from prostrating before that which I have created with My [own] two hands? Are you arrogant, or are you [one] of the exalted ones?"
"I am better than him," he said. "You created me from fire and You created him from clay."
He said, "Begone hence, for you are indeed an outcast. And indeed My curse will be on you till the Day of Retribution.
He said "My Lord! Respite me till the day they will be resurrected."
Said He,"You are indeed among the reprieved, until the day of the known time"
He said, "By Your might, I will surely pervert them, except Your exclusive servants among them." (37:75-83)
Faith in Previous Apostles and Scriptures
The Apostle (Prophet Muhammad) has faith in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and all the faithful. Each of them has faith in Allah, His angels, His scriptures and His apostles. [They declare,] "We make no distinction between any of His apostles." And they say, "We hear and obey. Our Lord, forgive us, and toward You is the return." (2:285)We have indeed revealed to you as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him, and as We revealed to Abraham and Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, Jesus and Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and We gave David the Psalms. and apostles We have recounted to you earlier and apostles We have not recounted to you, and to Moses God spoke directly. apostles, as bearers of good news and warners, so that mankind may not have any argument against God, after the sending of the apostles; and God is all-mighty, all-wise. (4:163-165)
Indeed the faithful, the Jews, the Christians, and the Sabaeans those of them who have faith in God and the Last Day and act righteously they shall have their reward near their Lord, and they will have no fear, nor will they grieve. (2:62 & 5:69)
These are the apostles, some of whom We gave an advantage over others: of them are those to whom God spoke, and some of them He raised in rank, and We gave Jesus, son of Mary, manifest proofs and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Had God wished, those who succeeded them would not have fought each other after the manifest proofs had come to them. But they differed. So there were among them those who had faith and there were among them those who were faithless, and had God wished, they would not have fought one another; but Allah does whatever He desires. 2:253
Piety is not to turn your faces to the east or the west; rather, piety is [personified by] those who have faith in God and the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets, and who give their wealth, for the love of Him, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveller and the beggar, and for [the freeing of] the slaves, and maintain the prayer and give the zakat, and those who fulfill their covenants, when they pledge themselves, and those who are patient in stress and distress, and in the heat of battle. They are the ones who are true [to their covenant], and it is they who are the God wary. 2:177
