Satan thinks he is far greater and higher in rank than man, therefore he refused to prostrate himself before Adam, because Allah Almighty created him from Fire whereas He created Adam from clay. And he thought that fire is better than clay, so he was too haughty to carry out the Divine Command, (Did you ˹just˺ become proud? Or have you always been arrogant?” ) Sad 38:75
(Allah asked, “What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?” He replied, “I am better than he is: You created me from fire and him from clay.”) Al-Araf 7: 12
(So the angels prostrated all together— but not Iblîs,1 who refused to prostrate with the others. Allah asked, “O Iblîs! What is the matter with you that you did not join others in prostration?” He replied, “It is not for me to prostrate to a human You created from sounding clay moulded from black mud.”) Al-Hijr 15: 30-33
(And ˹remember˺ when We said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam,” so they all did—but not Iblîs, who protested, “Should I prostrate to the one You have created from mud?”) Al-Isra 17: 61
(So the angels prostrated all together—but not Iblîs,1 who acted arrogantly, becoming unfaithful. (Allah asked, “O Iblîs! What prevented you from prostrating to what I created with My Own Hands? Did you ˹just˺ become proud? Or have you always been arrogant?” He replied, “I am better than he is: You created me from fire and him from clay.”) Sad 38: 73-7
إبليس ظن نفسه أعظم و أعلى درجة من الإنسان و لذلك أبى أن يسجد لآدم لأن الله خلقه من نار و خلق آدم عليه السلام من طين. فظن أن النار أفضل من الطين فتكبر على أمر الله

قَالَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِي مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِن طِينٍ)قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلَّا تَسْجُدَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَ ۖ ﴿
12:الأعراف 7
وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ قَالَ أَأَسْجُدُ لِمَنْ خَلَقْتَ طِينًا﴾ الإسراء 17: 61
إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ اسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ .. قَالَ يَا إِبْلِيسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَن تَسْجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقْتُ بِيَدَيَّ أَسْتَكْبَرْتَ أَمْ كُنتَ مِنَ الْعَالِينَ قَالَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ ۖ فَسَجَدَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ ﴿
خَلَقْتَنِي مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِن طِينٍ )
ص 38: 75 -76
فَسَجَدَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ ﴿٣٠﴾ إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ ﴿٣١﴾قَالَ يَا إِبْلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ ﴿٣٢﴾ قَالَ لَمْ أَكُن لِّأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُ مِن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ ﴿٣٣
