7.21 . And he swore unto them ( saying ) : Lo! I am a sincere adviser unto you .
7. 7.22 . Thus did he lead them on with guile . And when they tasted of the tree their shame was manifest to them and they began to hide ( by heaping ) on themselves some of the leaves of the Garden . And their Lord called them , ( saying ) : Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you : Lo! Satan is an open enemy to you?
7. 7.23 . They said : Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves . If Thou forgive us not and have not mercy on us , surely we are of the lost!
7. 7.24 . He said : Go down ( from hence ) , one of you a foe unto the other . There will be for you on earth a habitation and provision for a while .
7. 7.25 . He said : There shall ye live , and there shall ye die , and thence shall ye be brought forth .
7. 7.26 . O Children of Adam! We have revealed unto you raiment to conceal your shame , and splendid vesture , but the raiment of restraint from evil , that is best . This is of the revelations of Allah , that they may remember .
7. 7.27 . O Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you as he caused your ( first ) parents to go forth from the Garden and tore off from them their robe ( of innocence ) that be might manifest their shame to them . Lo! he seeth you , he and his tribe , from whence ye see him not . Lo! We have made the devils protecting friends for those who believe not .
7. 7.28 . And when they do some lewdness they say : We found our fathers doing it and Allah hath enjoined it on us . Say : Allah , verily , enjoineth not lewdness . Tell ye concerning Allah that which ye know not?
7. 7.29 . Say : My Lord enjoineth justice . And set your faces , upright ( toward Him ) at every place of worship and call upon Him , making religion pure for Him ( only ) . As He brought you into being , so return ye ( unto Him ) .
7. 7.30 . A party hath He led aright , while error hath just hold over ( another ) party , for lo! they choose the devils for protecting friends instead of Allah and deem that they are rightly guided .
