Transliteration:( Qaala fahbit minhaa famaa yakoonu laka an tatakabbara feehaa fakhruj innaka minas saaghireen )
19. "From here' is meant from Paradise.Â
From this, we learn that Paradise is there from before. Also that Paradise is above or in the upper region and not below the earth because one comes down from the upper region. Remember that from the time when he refused to prostrate Satan has been expelled out of Paradise though he would secretly try to go there. After the blessed coming of our Holy Prophet Satan is completely stopped from going to Paradise.
20. From this we learn that before Satan became accursed he was dwelling in Paradise, otherwise what does it mean to be expelled from it? In addition, he was given respect as well, otherwise what meaning does disgrace have regarding him? It is well known that he was the teacher of the angels, therefore he is called MUALLIMUL MALAKOOT. Allah Almighty and His Beloved know best.
21. From this we learn that an answer should not be given to every word and every proof provided by the opponent! Allah Almighty did not give a reply to the proofs of Satan but declared him accursed and expelled him from Paradise. The end result of pride is disgrace.

13. (Allah) said: “(O Iblis) get down from this (Paradise), it is not for you to be arrogant here. Get out, for you are of those humiliated and disgraced.” 14. (Iblis) said: “Allow me respite till the Day they are raised up (the Day of Resurrection).” 15. (Allah) said: “You are of those respited.”) Allah ordered Iblis;
(Get down from this) “because you defied My command and disobeyed Me. Get out, it is not for you to be arrogant here,” in Paradise, according to the scholars of Tafsir. It could also refer to particular status which he held in the utmost highs. Allah said to Iblis,
(Get out, for you are of those humiliated and disgraced.) as just recompense for his ill intentions, by giving him the opposite of what he intended (arrogance). This is when the cursed one remembered and asked for respite until the Day of Judgment,
(Then allow me respite till the Day they are raised up. (Allah) said: “Then you are of those respited.”) ﴿15: 36-37﴾ Allah gave Shaytan what he asked for out of His wisdom, being His decision and decree, that is never prevented or resisted. Surely, none can avert His decision, and He is swift in reckoning.
(7:13) Allah said: ‘Then get you down from here. It does not behove you to be arrogant here. So be gone. You will be among the humiliated.’[11]
11. Implicit in the Qur’anic expression (sagharin) is the idea of contentment with one’s disgrace and indignity, for saghir is he who invites disgrace and indignity, upon himself. Now, Satan was a victim of vanity and pride, and for that very reason defied God’s command to prostrate himself before Adam. Satan was therefore, guilty of self-inflicted degradation. False pride, baseless notions of glory, ill-founded illusions of greatness failed to confer any greatness upon him. They could only bring upon him disgrace and indignity. Satan could blame none but himself for this sordid end.
