  quote_or_summary: The passage rejects attributing daughters among angels to God,
    says the seven heavens and earth praise him, and describes a dark veil, covered
    hearts, heavy ears, and flight from the Koran among unbelievers.

  quote_or_summary: Unbelievers call the reciter enchanted and ask whether bones and
    dust can be raised as a new creation; the answer says the creator who made them
    first will bring them back and call them forth on a coming day.

  quote_or_summary: Servants are told to speak kindly because Satan stirs strife;
    the Lord may have mercy or chastise, the addressee is not a guardian, prophets
    receive differing gifts, David receives the Psalter, and invoked beings beside
    God are powerless and seek nearness to their Lord.

  quote_or_summary: Every city is destined for destruction or chastisement before
    Resurrection and this is written in the Book; earlier peoples denied miracles,
    Themoud maltreated the she-camel, and the vision and cursed tree are linked with
    dispute, terror, and increased wickedness.

  quote_or_summary: The angels are commanded to prostrate before Adam; Eblis refuses
    to bow to one created of clay, asks respite until Resurrection, vows to destroy
    Adam’s offspring except a few, and is allowed to entice and deceive, while lacking
    power over God’s servants.

  quote_or_summary: God speeds ships in the sea; in danger at sea people find God
    alone present, but after safe arrival on land they distance themselves from him;
    the passage warns of earth-cleaving and a sand-filled whirlwind with no protector.

  extraction: high
  motif_candidates: medium
  comparison_claims: uncertain
  notes: Extraction is based only on the supplied passage. Candidate motifs tied to
    explicit taxonomy terms are strongest for wisdom, covenant, divine judgment, and
    resurrection; Satan as trickster-boundary is less exact because the passage emphasizes
    enmity and temptation rather than a full trickster profile. No comparison claims
    were made because the passage itself does not support a specific external comparison.
