WHY DID IBLIS (SATAN) OPPOSE? VERSE NO. 35

      Prostration which is the act of laying face downwards in submission and worship, belongs only to God, as ``praise belongs only to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.''

      Here in this case Adam must have been some sort of a QIBLEH, towards which the angels have prostrated themselves to God, and this is what is meant by the MONOTHEISM OF WORSHIP. Therefore there is no doubt that the angels did not prostrate themselves to worship ADAM, but rather to praise and glorify God, for having created such a wonderful creature and learned teacher, as ADAM was.

      Even if we want to admit that they prostrated themselves before ADAM, in the classical form of prostration, that was of surety, merely a sign of their humility and respect, an exclusive of worship. Imam Reza (AS) has said:

      ``The angels by their prostration worshipped God and esteemed ADAM, appreciating his worth and merits.''
