إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ ٱسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ
Ill a ibleesa istakbara wak a na mina alk a fireen a
save Iblis: he gloried in his arrogance, and [thus] became one of those who deny the truth.57
  - Mohammad Asad

See note [26] on 2:34 and note [31] on 15:41 .

except Iblees; he acted arrogantly and became one of the disbelievers.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
but not Iblîs,1 who acted arrogantly,2 becoming unfaithful.
  - Mustafa Khattab

 See footnote for 2:34.

 The command to bow down was a test of obedience. Satan arrogantly refused to comply because he believed he was superior to Adam (ﷺ).

Saving Iblis; he was scornful and became one of the disbelievers.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Not so Iblis: he was haughty and became one of those who reject Faith. 4228
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Arrogance (self-love) is thus the root of Evil and of Unfaith.
