And behold We said to the angels: "Bow down to Adam"; and they
bowed down not so Iblis he refused and was haughty he was of
those who reject Faith. 49 [English translation of al-Baqarah, 2: 34 by Abdullah Yusuf Ali]
Notes:
The Arabic may also be translated: "They bowed down,
except Iblis." In that case Iblis (Satan) would be one of
the angels. But the theory of fallen angels is not
usually accepted in Muslim theology. In xviii, 50 Iblis
is spoken of as a Jinn. We shall discuss later the
meaning of this word.
