The First Sin

The first Sin recorded in the Quran to be that of Iblis (Satan) refusing to obey God's orders and bow down to Adam as God has ordered. In Surat Al-Baqara verse [aya 34]God says : "they all bowed except for Iblis, he denied and was haughty. "

When Satan was asked why he refused his answer was "You created me from Fire and created him from Clay".

Therefore it was obvious that the first recorded Sin was disobeying God due to racism. To judge someone by means other than what they have done. We often do that, we jump into conclusion about people because of nationality , religion, race, clothing style, etc ... Lesson to be learnt here is to judge people only by what they do.
