[2:34] making yourself a god

"and when We said to the angels:
    'prostrate to Adam'
so they prostrated
except Beliel - he refused and was proud (sought to be bigger)
and was of the rejecters"
[2:34]


God commands the angels to prostrate to Adam as a sign of respect and to acknowledge that God had created the first human superior to angels (due to some of the abilities mentioned earlier).  They obeyed and acknowledged it, except Beliel (Arabic; Iblis), otherwise known as the Devil.  Beliel (formerly known as Azazel) is not the same race as the angels of light. He belongs to the demon race (an angel of darkness, a fallen 'angel', a watcher)  made of smokeless fire. They also have free will and so Beliel disobeyed God, refusing to acknowledge humans were superior to him or his race due to reasons of pride.

From this verse we learn that people who believe in God can still be considered from among the rejecters (k-f-r) if they refuse to obey God because they are too proud.  This is because they consider themselves and their decisions superior to God and His wisdom.  Although they know God is the truth, they reject Him and the truth by considering themselves superior.  They try to elevate themselves above God.  In essence, they are making themselves a god!  A crime the false messiah will commit.  The crime of the devil himself

• It was Belial who inspired the Egyptian sorcerers, Jochaneh and his brother, to oppose Moses and Aaron.
• Simeon 5:3 says that fornication separates man from God and brings him near to Belial. Levi tells his children to choose between the Law of God and the works of Belial^[24] 
•  when the soul is constantly disturbed, the Lord departs from it and Belial rules over it. 
• Naphtali^[25] contrasts the Law and will of God with the purposes of Belial
•  in 20:2, Joseph prophesies that when Israel leaves Egypt, they will be with God in light while Belial will remain in darkness with the Egyptians.
•  the Testament describes that when the Messiah comes, the angels will punish the spirits of deceit and Belial^[26] and that the Messiah will bind Belial and give to his children the power to trample the evil spirits.^[27]
• In the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (by Bartholomew)of the New Testament apocrypha, Belial was visible along with 666 fallen angels when Michael was commanded by Jesus to show Hell to his disciples
• In The Satanic Bible (The Book of Belial), Belial means "without a master", and symbolizes independence, self-sufficiency, and personal accomplishment.
• Azazel is one of the leaders of the rebellious Watchers in the time preceding the flood; he taught men the art of warfare, of making swords, knives, shields, and coats of mail, and women the art of deception by ornamenting the body, dying the hair, and painting the face and the eyebrows, and also revealed to the people the secrets of witchcraft and corrupted their manners, leading them into wickedness and impurity until at last he was, at Yahweh's command, bound hand and foot by the archangel Raphael and chained to the rough and jagged rocks of [Ha] Dudael (= Beth Ḥadudo), where he is to abide in utter darkness until the great Day of Judgment, when he will be cast into the fire to be consumed forever (Enoch viii. 1, ix. 6, x. 4–6, liv. 5, lxxxviii. 1; see Geiger, "Jüd. Zeit." 1864, pp. 196–204

For Abraham's portion is in heaven, and yours is on earth, for you have selected here, [and] become enamored of the dwelling place of your blemish. Therefore the Eternal Ruler, the Mighty One, has given you a dwelling on earth. Through you the all-evil spirit [was] a liar, and through you [come] wrath and trials on the generations of men who live impiously. Abr. 13:4–9
• God's heritage (the created world) is largely under the dominion of evil – i.e., it is "shared with Azazel" (Abr. 20:5), again identifying him with Satan, who was called "the prince of this world" by Jesus. (John 12:31 niv)
