بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ

In the name of The God, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

Alif, Lam, Meem, Sad.

Al-A’raf 7:2

كِتٰبٌ أُنزِلَ إِلَيكَ فَلا يَكُن فى صَدرِكَ حَرَجٌ مِنهُ لِتُنذِرَ بِهِ وَذِكرىٰ لِلمُؤمِنينَ

A Book sent down to you—let there be no distress in your breast concerning it—so that you may warn by it, and as a reminder for the believers.

Al-A’raf 7:3

اتَّبِعوا ما أُنزِلَ إِلَيكُم مِن رَبِّكُم وَلا تَتَّبِعوا مِن دونِهِ أَولِياءَ ۗ قَليلًا ما تَذَكَّرونَ

Follow what has been sent down to you from your Lord, and do not follow guardians apart from Him. Little do you take heed.

Al-A’raf 7:4

وَكَم مِن قَريَةٍ أَهلَكنٰها فَجاءَها بَأسُنا بَيٰتًا أَو هُم قائِلونَ

How many towns We destroyed! Our severity came upon them by night or while they were resting at midday.

Al-A’raf 7:5

فَما كانَ دَعوىٰهُم إِذ جاءَهُم بَأسُنا إِلّا أَن قالوا إِنّا كُنّا ظٰلِمينَ

When Our severity came upon them, their cry was only to say, “We were unjust.”

Al-A’raf 7:6

فَلَنَسـَٔلَنَّ الَّذينَ أُرسِلَ إِلَيهِم وَلَنَسـَٔلَنَّ المُرسَلينَ

We will surely question those to whom messengers were sent, and We will surely question the messengers.

Al-A’raf 7:7

فَلَنَقُصَّنَّ عَلَيهِم بِعِلمٍ ۖ وَما كُنّا غائِبينَ

We will surely recount to them with knowledge; We were not absent.

Al-A’raf 7:8

وَالوَزنُ يَومَئِذٍ الحَقُّ ۚ فَمَن ثَقُلَت مَوٰزينُهُ فَأُولٰئِكَ هُمُ المُفلِحونَ

The weighing that day is the truth. Those whose scales are heavy are the successful.

Al-A’raf 7:9

وَمَن خَفَّت مَوٰزينُهُ فَأُولٰئِكَ الَّذينَ خَسِروا أَنفُسَهُم بِما كانوا بِـٔايٰتِنا يَظلِمونَ

Those whose scales are light are the ones who have lost themselves because they wronged Our signs.

Al-A’raf 7:10

وَلَقَد مَكَّنّٰكُم فِى الأَرضِ وَجَعَلنا لَكُم فيها مَعٰيِشَ ۗ قَليلًا ما تَشكُرونَ

We established you on the earth and placed means of livelihood for you in it. Little do you give thanks.

Al-A’raf 7:11

وَلَقَد خَلَقنٰكُم ثُمَّ صَوَّرنٰكُم ثُمَّ قُلنا لِلمَلٰئِكَةِ اسجُدوا لِـٔادَمَ فَسَجَدوا إِلّا إِبليسَ لَم يَكُن مِنَ السّٰجِدينَ

We created you, then formed you, then said to the angels, “Prostrate yourselves to Adam.” They prostrated, except Iblis; he was not among those who prostrated.

Al-A’raf 7:12

قالَ ما مَنَعَكَ أَلّا تَسجُدَ إِذ أَمَرتُكَ ۖ قالَ أَنا۠ خَيرٌ مِنهُ خَلَقتَنى مِن نارٍ وَخَلَقتَهُ مِن طينٍ

He said, “What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?” He said, “I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay.”

Al-A’raf 7:13

قالَ فَاهبِط مِنها فَما يَكونُ لَكَ أَن تَتَكَبَّرَ فيها فَاخرُج إِنَّكَ مِنَ الصّٰغِرينَ

He said, “Then descend from it. It is not for you to be arrogant in it. Get out; you are among the abased.”

Al-A’raf 7:14

قالَ أَنظِرنى إِلىٰ يَومِ يُبعَثونَ

He said, “Grant me respite until the day they are raised.”

Al-A’raf 7:15

قالَ إِنَّكَ مِنَ المُنظَرينَ

He said, “You are among those granted respite.”

Al-A’raf 7:16

قالَ فَبِما أَغوَيتَنى لَأَقعُدَنَّ لَهُم صِرٰطَكَ المُستَقيمَ

He said, “Because You have led me astray, I will surely sit in wait for them on Your straight path.”

Al-A’raf 7:17

ثُمَّ لَـٔاتِيَنَّهُم مِن بَينِ أَيديهِم وَمِن خَلفِهِم وَعَن أَيمٰنِهِم وَعَن شَمائِلِهِم ۖ وَلا تَجِدُ أَكثَرَهُم شٰكِرينَ

Then I will come upon them from before them and from behind them, from their right and from their left. You will not find most of them grateful.

Al-A’raf 7:18

قالَ اخرُج مِنها مَذءومًا مَدحورًا ۖ لَمَن تَبِعَكَ مِنهُم لَأَملَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكُم أَجمَعينَ

He said, “Get out of it, despised and banished. Whoever among them follows you—I will surely fill Hell with you all.”

Al-A’raf 7:19

وَيٰـٔادَمُ اسكُن أَنتَ وَزَوجُكَ الجَنَّةَ فَكُلا مِن حَيثُ شِئتُما وَلا تَقرَبا هٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكونا مِنَ الظّٰلِمينَ

Adam, dwell in the Garden, you and your spouse, and eat from wherever you wish; but do not approach this tree, lest you become among the unjust.

Al-A’raf 7:20

فَوَسوَسَ لَهُمَا الشَّيطٰنُ لِيُبدِىَ لَهُما ما وۥرِىَ عَنهُما مِن سَوءٰتِهِما وَقالَ ما نَهىٰكُما رَبُّكُما عَن هٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ إِلّا أَن تَكونا مَلَكَينِ أَو تَكونا مِنَ الخٰلِدينَ

Satan whispered to them to expose what had been concealed from them of their private parts. He said, “Your Lord only forbade you this tree lest you become two angels or become among those who remain forever.”

Al-A’raf 7:21

وَقاسَمَهُما إِنّى لَكُما لَمِنَ النّٰصِحينَ

He swore to them, “I am a sincere adviser to you.”

Al-A’raf 7:22

فَدَلّىٰهُما بِغُرورٍ ۚ فَلَمّا ذاقَا الشَّجَرَةَ بَدَت لَهُما سَوءٰتُهُما وَطَفِقا يَخصِفانِ عَلَيهِما مِن وَرَقِ الجَنَّةِ ۖ وَنادىٰهُما رَبُّهُما أَلَم أَنهَكُما عَن تِلكُمَا الشَّجَرَةِ وَأَقُل لَكُما إِنَّ الشَّيطٰنَ لَكُما عَدُوٌّ مُبينٌ

He drew them down through deception. When they tasted the tree, their private parts became apparent to them, and they began fastening leaves of the Garden over themselves. Their Lord called to them, “Did I not forbid you that tree and tell you that Satan is a clear enemy to you?”

Al-A’raf 7:23

قالا رَبَّنا ظَلَمنا أَنفُسَنا وَإِن لَم تَغفِر لَنا وَتَرحَمنا لَنَكونَنَّ مِنَ الخٰسِرينَ

They said, “Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves. If You do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will surely be among the losers.”

Al-A’raf 7:24

قالَ اهبِطوا بَعضُكُم لِبَعضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۖ وَلَكُم فِى الأَرضِ مُستَقَرٌّ وَمَتٰعٌ إِلىٰ حينٍ

He said, “Descend, some of you enemies to others. On the earth you will have a place of settlement and enjoyment for a time.”

Al-A’raf 7:25

قالَ فيها تَحيَونَ وَفيها تَموتونَ وَمِنها تُخرَجونَ

He said, “In it you will live, in it you will die, and from it you will be brought out.”

Al-A’raf 7:26

يٰبَنى ءادَمَ قَد أَنزَلنا عَلَيكُم لِباسًا يُوٰرى سَوءٰتِكُم وَريشًا ۖ وَلِباسُ التَّقوىٰ ذٰلِكَ خَيرٌ ۚ ذٰلِكَ مِن ءايٰتِ اللَّهِ لَعَلَّهُم يَذَّكَّرونَ

Children of Adam, We have sent down to you clothing to cover your private parts and as adornment. The clothing of mindfulness—that is better. This is among the signs of The God, so that they may take heed.

Al-A’raf 7:27

يٰبَنى ءادَمَ لا يَفتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّيطٰنُ كَما أَخرَجَ أَبَوَيكُم مِنَ الجَنَّةِ يَنزِعُ عَنهُما لِباسَهُما لِيُرِيَهُما سَوءٰتِهِما ۗ إِنَّهُ يَرىٰكُم هُوَ وَقَبيلُهُ مِن حَيثُ لا تَرَونَهُم ۗ إِنّا جَعَلنَا الشَّيٰطينَ أَولِياءَ لِلَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ

Children of Adam, do not let Satan tempt you, as he drove your parents out of the Garden, stripping them of their clothing to show them their private parts. He and his company see you from where you do not see them. We have made the devils guardians of those who do not believe.

Al-A’raf 7:28

وَإِذا فَعَلوا فٰحِشَةً قالوا وَجَدنا عَلَيها ءاباءَنا وَاللَّهُ أَمَرَنا بِها ۗ قُل إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَأمُرُ بِالفَحشاءِ ۖ أَتَقولونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ ما لا تَعلَمونَ

When they commit an indecency, they say, “We found our fathers upon it, and The God commanded us to do it.” Say, “The God does not command indecency. Do you say about The God what you do not know?”

Al-A’raf 7:29

قُل أَمَرَ رَبّى بِالقِسطِ ۖ وَأَقيموا وُجوهَكُم عِندَ كُلِّ مَسجِدٍ وَادعوهُ مُخلِصينَ لَهُ الدّينَ ۚ كَما بَدَأَكُم تَعودونَ

Say, “My Lord has commanded justice. Set your faces upright at every place of prostration, and call upon Him, making religion sincere to Him. As He originated you, you will return.”

Al-A’raf 7:30

فَريقًا هَدىٰ وَفَريقًا حَقَّ عَلَيهِمُ الضَّلٰلَةُ ۗ إِنَّهُمُ اتَّخَذُوا الشَّيٰطينَ أَولِياءَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ وَيَحسَبونَ أَنَّهُم مُهتَدونَ

A group He guided, and a group deserved error. They took the devils as guardians apart from The God, and they think they are guided.

Al-A’raf 7:31

يٰبَنى ءادَمَ خُذوا زينَتَكُم عِندَ كُلِّ مَسجِدٍ وَكُلوا وَاشرَبوا وَلا تُسرِفوا ۚ إِنَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ المُسرِفينَ

Children of Adam, take your adornment at every place of prostration. Eat and drink, but do not be excessive; He does not love the excessive.

Al-A’raf 7:32

قُل مَن حَرَّمَ زينَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتى أَخرَجَ لِعِبادِهِ وَالطَّيِّبٰتِ مِنَ الرِّزقِ ۚ قُل هِىَ لِلَّذينَ ءامَنوا فِى الحَيوٰةِ الدُّنيا خالِصَةً يَومَ القِيٰمَةِ ۗ كَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الـٔايٰتِ لِقَومٍ يَعلَمونَ

Say, “Who has forbidden the adornment of The God that He brought forth for His servants, and the good things of provision?” Say, “They are for those who believe in the worldly life, exclusively theirs on the Day of Resurrection.” Thus We explain the signs in detail for people who know.

Al-A’raf 7:33

قُل إِنَّما حَرَّمَ رَبِّىَ الفَوٰحِشَ ما ظَهَرَ مِنها وَما بَطَنَ وَالإِثمَ وَالبَغىَ بِغَيرِ الحَقِّ وَأَن تُشرِكوا بِاللَّهِ ما لَم يُنَزِّل بِهِ سُلطٰنًا وَأَن تَقولوا عَلَى اللَّهِ ما لا تَعلَمونَ

Say, “My Lord has only forbidden indecencies, outward and hidden, sin and unjust aggression, associating with The God that for which He has sent down no authority, and saying about The God what you do not know.”

Al-A’raf 7:34

وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ ۖ فَإِذا جاءَ أَجَلُهُم لا يَستَأخِرونَ ساعَةً ۖ وَلا يَستَقدِمونَ

Every community has a term. When their term comes, they can neither delay it an hour nor advance it.

Al-A’raf 7:35

يٰبَنى ءادَمَ إِمّا يَأتِيَنَّكُم رُسُلٌ مِنكُم يَقُصّونَ عَلَيكُم ءايٰتى ۙ فَمَنِ اتَّقىٰ وَأَصلَحَ فَلا خَوفٌ عَلَيهِم وَلا هُم يَحزَنونَ

Children of Adam, if messengers from among you come to you, relating My signs, then those who are mindful and make amends will have no fear upon them, nor will they grieve.

Al-A’raf 7:36

وَالَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِـٔايٰتِنا وَاستَكبَروا عَنها أُولٰئِكَ أَصحٰبُ النّارِ ۖ هُم فيها خٰلِدونَ

Those who deny Our signs and turn arrogantly away from them are the companions of the Fire; they remain in it.

Al-A’raf 7:37

فَمَن أَظلَمُ مِمَّنِ افتَرىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَو كَذَّبَ بِـٔايٰتِهِ ۚ أُولٰئِكَ يَنالُهُم نَصيبُهُم مِنَ الكِتٰبِ ۖ حَتّىٰ إِذا جاءَتهُم رُسُلُنا يَتَوَفَّونَهُم قالوا أَينَ ما كُنتُم تَدعونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ۖ قالوا ضَلّوا عَنّا وَشَهِدوا عَلىٰ أَنفُسِهِم أَنَّهُم كانوا كٰفِرينَ

Who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about The God or denies His signs? Their portion from the Book will reach them, until Our messengers come to take them and say, “Where are those you called upon apart from The God?” They will say, “They have vanished from us,” and testify against themselves that they were disbelievers.

Al-A’raf 7:38

قالَ ادخُلوا فى أُمَمٍ قَد خَلَت مِن قَبلِكُم مِنَ الجِنِّ وَالإِنسِ فِى النّارِ ۖ كُلَّما دَخَلَت أُمَّةٌ لَعَنَت أُختَها ۖ حَتّىٰ إِذَا ادّارَكوا فيها جَميعًا قالَت أُخرىٰهُم لِأولىٰهُم رَبَّنا هٰؤُلاءِ أَضَلّونا فَـٔاتِهِم عَذابًا ضِعفًا مِنَ النّارِ ۖ قالَ لِكُلٍّ ضِعفٌ وَلٰكِن لا تَعلَمونَ

He will say, “Enter the Fire among communities of jinn and humans that passed before you.” Whenever a community enters, it curses its sister community. When they have all joined one another in it, the last of them will say about the first, “Our Lord, these led us astray; give them a double punishment of the Fire.” He will say, “For each is double, but you do not know.”

Al-A’raf 7:39

وَقالَت أولىٰهُم لِأُخرىٰهُم فَما كانَ لَكُم عَلَينا مِن فَضلٍ فَذوقُوا العَذابَ بِما كُنتُم تَكسِبونَ

The first of them will say to the last, “You had no advantage over us; so taste the punishment for what you used to earn.”

Al-A’raf 7:40

إِنَّ الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِـٔايٰتِنا وَاستَكبَروا عَنها لا تُفَتَّحُ لَهُم أَبوٰبُ السَّماءِ وَلا يَدخُلونَ الجَنَّةَ حَتّىٰ يَلِجَ الجَمَلُ فى سَمِّ الخِياطِ ۚ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجزِى المُجرِمينَ

Those who deny Our signs and turn arrogantly away from them will not have the gates of heaven opened for them, nor will they enter the Garden until a camel passes through the eye of a needle. Thus We repay the guilty.

Al-A’raf 7:41

لَهُم مِن جَهَنَّمَ مِهادٌ وَمِن فَوقِهِم غَواشٍ ۚ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجزِى الظّٰلِمينَ

For them is a bed of Hell and coverings above them. Thus We repay the unjust.

Al-A’raf 7:42

وَالَّذينَ ءامَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لا نُكَلِّفُ نَفسًا إِلّا وُسعَها أُولٰئِكَ أَصحٰبُ الجَنَّةِ ۖ هُم فيها خٰلِدونَ

Those who believe and do righteous deeds—We burden no soul beyond its capacity—are the companions of the Garden; they remain in it.

Al-A’raf 7:43

وَنَزَعنا ما فى صُدورِهِم مِن غِلٍّ تَجرى مِن تَحتِهِمُ الأَنهٰرُ ۖ وَقالُوا الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذى هَدىٰنا لِهٰذا وَما كُنّا لِنَهتَدِىَ لَولا أَن هَدىٰنَا اللَّهُ ۖ لَقَد جاءَت رُسُلُ رَبِّنا بِالحَقِّ ۖ وَنودوا أَن تِلكُمُ الجَنَّةُ أورِثتُموها بِما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ

We will remove whatever rancor is in their breasts; rivers flow beneath them. They will say, “Praise belongs to The God, who guided us to this. We would not have been guided had The God not guided us. Our Lord’s messengers came with the truth.” They will be called, “This is the Garden you have been made to inherit for what you used to do.”

Al-A’raf 7:44

وَنادىٰ أَصحٰبُ الجَنَّةِ أَصحٰبَ النّارِ أَن قَد وَجَدنا ما وَعَدَنا رَبُّنا حَقًّا فَهَل وَجَدتُم ما وَعَدَ رَبُّكُم حَقًّا ۖ قالوا نَعَم ۚ فَأَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ بَينَهُم أَن لَعنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الظّٰلِمينَ

The companions of the Garden will call to the companions of the Fire, “We have found what our Lord promised us to be true. Have you found what your Lord promised to be true?” They will say, “Yes.” An announcer among them will proclaim, “The curse of The God is upon the unjust.”

Al-A’raf 7:45

الَّذينَ يَصُدّونَ عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ وَيَبغونَها عِوَجًا وَهُم بِالـٔاخِرَةِ كٰفِرونَ

Those who hinder others from the path of The God, seek to make it crooked, and disbelieve in the Hereafter.

Al-A’raf 7:46

وَبَينَهُما حِجابٌ ۚ وَعَلَى الأَعرافِ رِجالٌ يَعرِفونَ كُلًّا بِسيمىٰهُم ۚ وَنادَوا أَصحٰبَ الجَنَّةِ أَن سَلٰمٌ عَلَيكُم ۚ لَم يَدخُلوها وَهُم يَطمَعونَ

Between the two is a barrier, and on the heights are men who recognize each by their marks. They call to the companions of the Garden, “Peace be upon you.” They have not entered it, though they hope to.

Al-A’raf 7:47

وَإِذا صُرِفَت أَبصٰرُهُم تِلقاءَ أَصحٰبِ النّارِ قالوا رَبَّنا لا تَجعَلنا مَعَ القَومِ الظّٰلِمينَ

When their eyes are turned toward the companions of the Fire, they say, “Our Lord, do not place us with the unjust people.”

Al-A’raf 7:48

وَنادىٰ أَصحٰبُ الأَعرافِ رِجالًا يَعرِفونَهُم بِسيمىٰهُم قالوا ما أَغنىٰ عَنكُم جَمعُكُم وَما كُنتُم تَستَكبِرونَ

The companions of the heights call to men whom they recognize by their marks, saying, “Your gathering and your arrogance have not availed you.”

Al-A’raf 7:49

أَهٰؤُلاءِ الَّذينَ أَقسَمتُم لا يَنالُهُمُ اللَّهُ بِرَحمَةٍ ۚ ادخُلُوا الجَنَّةَ لا خَوفٌ عَلَيكُم وَلا أَنتُم تَحزَنونَ

Are these the ones you swore The God would not reach with mercy? Enter the Garden; no fear will be upon you, nor will you grieve.

Al-A’raf 7:50

وَنادىٰ أَصحٰبُ النّارِ أَصحٰبَ الجَنَّةِ أَن أَفيضوا عَلَينا مِنَ الماءِ أَو مِمّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ ۚ قالوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَهُما عَلَى الكٰفِرينَ

The companions of the Fire call to the companions of the Garden, “Pour some water upon us, or some of what The God has provided you.” They say, “The God has forbidden both to the disbelievers.”

Al-A’raf 7:51

الَّذينَ اتَّخَذوا دينَهُم لَهوًا وَلَعِبًا وَغَرَّتهُمُ الحَيوٰةُ الدُّنيا ۚ فَاليَومَ نَنسىٰهُم كَما نَسوا لِقاءَ يَومِهِم هٰذا وَما كانوا بِـٔايٰتِنا يَجحَدونَ

Those who took their religion as diversion and play, and whom the worldly life deceived. Today We will forget them as they forgot the meeting of this day of theirs and rejected Our signs.

Al-A’raf 7:52

وَلَقَد جِئنٰهُم بِكِتٰبٍ فَصَّلنٰهُ عَلىٰ عِلمٍ هُدًى وَرَحمَةً لِقَومٍ يُؤمِنونَ

We brought them a Book which We explained in detail with knowledge, as guidance and mercy for people who believe.

Al-A’raf 7:53

هَل يَنظُرونَ إِلّا تَأويلَهُ ۚ يَومَ يَأتى تَأويلُهُ يَقولُ الَّذينَ نَسوهُ مِن قَبلُ قَد جاءَت رُسُلُ رَبِّنا بِالحَقِّ فَهَل لَنا مِن شُفَعاءَ فَيَشفَعوا لَنا أَو نُرَدُّ فَنَعمَلَ غَيرَ الَّذى كُنّا نَعمَلُ ۚ قَد خَسِروا أَنفُسَهُم وَضَلَّ عَنهُم ما كانوا يَفتَرونَ

Are they waiting for anything but its fulfillment? On the day its fulfillment comes, those who forgot it before will say, “Our Lord’s messengers came with the truth. Do we have intercessors to intercede for us, or can we be sent back to act differently from how we used to act?” They have lost themselves, and what they used to invent has vanished from them.

Al-A’raf 7:54

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّذى خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضَ فى سِتَّةِ أَيّامٍ ثُمَّ استَوىٰ عَلَى العَرشِ يُغشِى الَّيلَ النَّهارَ يَطلُبُهُ حَثيثًا وَالشَّمسَ وَالقَمَرَ وَالنُّجومَ مُسَخَّرٰتٍ بِأَمرِهِ ۗ أَلا لَهُ الخَلقُ وَالأَمرُ ۗ تَبارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ العٰلَمينَ

Your Lord is The God, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then established Himself upon the Throne. He covers the day with the night, which pursues it swiftly; and the sun, the moon, and the stars are subjected to His command. Creation and command belong to Him. Blessed is The God, Lord of the worlds.

Al-A’raf 7:55

ادعوا رَبَّكُم تَضَرُّعًا وَخُفيَةً ۚ إِنَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ المُعتَدينَ

Call upon your Lord humbly and secretly. He does not love the transgressors.

Al-A’raf 7:56

وَلا تُفسِدوا فِى الأَرضِ بَعدَ إِصلٰحِها وَادعوهُ خَوفًا وَطَمَعًا ۚ إِنَّ رَحمَتَ اللَّهِ قَريبٌ مِنَ المُحسِنينَ

Do not cause corruption on the earth after it has been set right, and call upon Him with fear and hope. The mercy of The God is near to those who do good.

Al-A’raf 7:57

وَهُوَ الَّذى يُرسِلُ الرِّيٰحَ بُشرًا بَينَ يَدَى رَحمَتِهِ ۖ حَتّىٰ إِذا أَقَلَّت سَحابًا ثِقالًا سُقنٰهُ لِبَلَدٍ مَيِّتٍ فَأَنزَلنا بِهِ الماءَ فَأَخرَجنا بِهِ مِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰتِ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ نُخرِجُ المَوتىٰ لَعَلَّكُم تَذَكَّرونَ

He is the One who sends the winds as good news ahead of His mercy. When they carry heavy clouds, We drive them to a dead land and send down water with them; with it We bring forth every kind of fruit. Thus We bring forth the dead, so that you may take heed.

Al-A’raf 7:58

وَالبَلَدُ الطَّيِّبُ يَخرُجُ نَباتُهُ بِإِذنِ رَبِّهِ ۖ وَالَّذى خَبُثَ لا يَخرُجُ إِلّا نَكِدًا ۚ كَذٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ الـٔايٰتِ لِقَومٍ يَشكُرونَ

The good land brings forth its vegetation by its Lord’s permission; what is bad brings forth only scantily. Thus We present the signs in varied ways for people who give thanks.

Al-A’raf 7:59

لَقَد أَرسَلنا نوحًا إِلىٰ قَومِهِ فَقالَ يٰقَومِ اعبُدُوا اللَّهَ ما لَكُم مِن إِلٰهٍ غَيرُهُ إِنّى أَخافُ عَلَيكُم عَذابَ يَومٍ عَظيمٍ

We sent Noah to his people, and he said, “My people, worship The God; you have no god other than Him. I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous day.”

Al-A’raf 7:60

قالَ المَلَأُ مِن قَومِهِ إِنّا لَنَرىٰكَ فى ضَلٰلٍ مُبينٍ

The leaders of his people said, “We see you in clear error.”

Al-A’raf 7:61

قالَ يٰقَومِ لَيسَ بى ضَلٰلَةٌ وَلٰكِنّى رَسولٌ مِن رَبِّ العٰلَمينَ

He said, “My people, there is no error in me; rather, I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds.”

Al-A’raf 7:62

أُبَلِّغُكُم رِسٰلٰتِ رَبّى وَأَنصَحُ لَكُم وَأَعلَمُ مِنَ اللَّهِ ما لا تَعلَمونَ

I convey my Lord’s messages to you, advise you sincerely, and know from The God what you do not know.

Al-A’raf 7:63

أَوَعَجِبتُم أَن جاءَكُم ذِكرٌ مِن رَبِّكُم عَلىٰ رَجُلٍ مِنكُم لِيُنذِرَكُم وَلِتَتَّقوا وَلَعَلَّكُم تُرحَمونَ

Are you astonished that a reminder from your Lord has come to you upon a man from among you, to warn you, so that you may be mindful and may receive mercy?

Al-A’raf 7:64

فَكَذَّبوهُ فَأَنجَينٰهُ وَالَّذينَ مَعَهُ فِى الفُلكِ وَأَغرَقنَا الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِـٔايٰتِنا ۚ إِنَّهُم كانوا قَومًا عَمينَ

They denied him, so We saved him and those with him in the ship, and drowned those who denied Our signs. They were a blind people.

Al-A’raf 7:65

وَإِلىٰ عادٍ أَخاهُم هودًا ۗ قالَ يٰقَومِ اعبُدُوا اللَّهَ ما لَكُم مِن إِلٰهٍ غَيرُهُ ۚ أَفَلا تَتَّقونَ

And to Aad, their brother Hud. He said, “My people, worship The God; you have no god other than Him. Will you not be mindful?”

Al-A’raf 7:66

قالَ المَلَأُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا مِن قَومِهِ إِنّا لَنَرىٰكَ فى سَفاهَةٍ وَإِنّا لَنَظُنُّكَ مِنَ الكٰذِبينَ

The leaders of his people who disbelieved said, “We see you in foolishness, and we think you are among the liars.”

Al-A’raf 7:67

قالَ يٰقَومِ لَيسَ بى سَفاهَةٌ وَلٰكِنّى رَسولٌ مِن رَبِّ العٰلَمينَ

He said, “My people, there is no foolishness in me; rather, I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds.”

Al-A’raf 7:68

أُبَلِّغُكُم رِسٰلٰتِ رَبّى وَأَنا۠ لَكُم ناصِحٌ أَمينٌ

I convey my Lord’s messages to you, and I am a trustworthy adviser to you.

Al-A’raf 7:69

أَوَعَجِبتُم أَن جاءَكُم ذِكرٌ مِن رَبِّكُم عَلىٰ رَجُلٍ مِنكُم لِيُنذِرَكُم ۚ وَاذكُروا إِذ جَعَلَكُم خُلَفاءَ مِن بَعدِ قَومِ نوحٍ وَزادَكُم فِى الخَلقِ بَصۜطَةً ۖ فَاذكُروا ءالاءَ اللَّهِ لَعَلَّكُم تُفلِحونَ

Are you astonished that a reminder from your Lord has come to you upon a man from among you, to warn you? Remember when He made you successors after the people of Noah and increased you in stature. Remember the favors of The God, so that you may prosper.

Al-A’raf 7:70

قالوا أَجِئتَنا لِنَعبُدَ اللَّهَ وَحدَهُ وَنَذَرَ ما كانَ يَعبُدُ ءاباؤُنا ۖ فَأتِنا بِما تَعِدُنا إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقينَ

They said, “Have you come to us so that we worship The God alone and leave what our fathers worshipped? Bring us what you promise us, if you are truthful.”

Al-A’raf 7:71

قالَ قَد وَقَعَ عَلَيكُم مِن رَبِّكُم رِجسٌ وَغَضَبٌ ۖ أَتُجٰدِلونَنى فى أَسماءٍ سَمَّيتُموها أَنتُم وَءاباؤُكُم ما نَزَّلَ اللَّهُ بِها مِن سُلطٰنٍ ۚ فَانتَظِروا إِنّى مَعَكُم مِنَ المُنتَظِرينَ

He said, “Defilement and anger from your Lord have fallen upon you. Do you argue with me about names that you and your fathers have named, for which The God has sent down no authority? Wait, then; I too am waiting with you.”

Al-A’raf 7:72

فَأَنجَينٰهُ وَالَّذينَ مَعَهُ بِرَحمَةٍ مِنّا وَقَطَعنا دابِرَ الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِـٔايٰتِنا ۖ وَما كانوا مُؤمِنينَ

We saved him and those with him through mercy from Us, and cut off to the last those who denied Our signs. They were not believers.

Al-A’raf 7:73

وَإِلىٰ ثَمودَ أَخاهُم صٰلِحًا ۗ قالَ يٰقَومِ اعبُدُوا اللَّهَ ما لَكُم مِن إِلٰهٍ غَيرُهُ ۖ قَد جاءَتكُم بَيِّنَةٌ مِن رَبِّكُم ۖ هٰذِهِ ناقَةُ اللَّهِ لَكُم ءايَةً ۖ فَذَروها تَأكُل فى أَرضِ اللَّهِ ۖ وَلا تَمَسّوها بِسوءٍ فَيَأخُذَكُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

And to Thamud, their brother Salih. He said, “My people, worship The God; you have no god other than Him. Clear evidence has come to you from your Lord. This she-camel of The God is a sign for you; leave her to eat on the earth of The God, and do not touch her with harm, lest a painful punishment seize you.”

Al-A’raf 7:74

وَاذكُروا إِذ جَعَلَكُم خُلَفاءَ مِن بَعدِ عادٍ وَبَوَّأَكُم فِى الأَرضِ تَتَّخِذونَ مِن سُهولِها قُصورًا وَتَنحِتونَ الجِبالَ بُيوتًا ۖ فَاذكُروا ءالاءَ اللَّهِ وَلا تَعثَوا فِى الأَرضِ مُفسِدينَ

Remember when He made you successors after Aad and settled you on the earth. You build palaces on its plains and carve the mountains into homes. Remember the favors of The God, and do not act wickedly on the earth, spreading corruption.

Al-A’raf 7:75

قالَ المَلَأُ الَّذينَ استَكبَروا مِن قَومِهِ لِلَّذينَ استُضعِفوا لِمَن ءامَنَ مِنهُم أَتَعلَمونَ أَنَّ صٰلِحًا مُرسَلٌ مِن رَبِّهِ ۚ قالوا إِنّا بِما أُرسِلَ بِهِ مُؤمِنونَ

The arrogant leaders of his people said to those considered weak, to those among them who believed, “Do you know that Salih is sent from his Lord?” They said, “We believe in what he has been sent with.”

Al-A’raf 7:76

قالَ الَّذينَ استَكبَروا إِنّا بِالَّذى ءامَنتُم بِهِ كٰفِرونَ

Those who were arrogant said, “We disbelieve in what you believe in.”

Al-A’raf 7:77

فَعَقَرُوا النّاقَةَ وَعَتَوا عَن أَمرِ رَبِّهِم وَقالوا يٰصٰلِحُ ائتِنا بِما تَعِدُنا إِن كُنتَ مِنَ المُرسَلينَ

They hamstrung the she-camel, defied their Lord’s command, and said, “Salih, bring us what you promise us, if you are among the messengers.”

Al-A’raf 7:78

فَأَخَذَتهُمُ الرَّجفَةُ فَأَصبَحوا فى دارِهِم جٰثِمينَ

The earthquake seized them, and they lay fallen in their dwelling.

Al-A’raf 7:79

فَتَوَلّىٰ عَنهُم وَقالَ يٰقَومِ لَقَد أَبلَغتُكُم رِسالَةَ رَبّى وَنَصَحتُ لَكُم وَلٰكِن لا تُحِبّونَ النّٰصِحينَ

He turned away from them and said, “My people, I conveyed my Lord’s message to you and advised you sincerely, but you do not love sincere advisers.”

Al-A’raf 7:80

وَلوطًا إِذ قالَ لِقَومِهِ أَتَأتونَ الفٰحِشَةَ ما سَبَقَكُم بِها مِن أَحَدٍ مِنَ العٰلَمينَ

And Lot, when he said to his people, “Do you commit the indecency in which no one among the worlds has preceded you?”

Al-A’raf 7:81

إِنَّكُم لَتَأتونَ الرِّجالَ شَهوَةً مِن دونِ النِّساءِ ۚ بَل أَنتُم قَومٌ مُسرِفونَ

You approach men with desire instead of women. Rather, you are an excessive people.

Al-A’raf 7:82

وَما كانَ جَوابَ قَومِهِ إِلّا أَن قالوا أَخرِجوهُم مِن قَريَتِكُم ۖ إِنَّهُم أُناسٌ يَتَطَهَّرونَ

His people’s answer was only to say, “Drive them out of your town. They are people who keep themselves pure.”

Al-A’raf 7:83

فَأَنجَينٰهُ وَأَهلَهُ إِلَّا امرَأَتَهُ كانَت مِنَ الغٰبِرينَ

We saved him and his family, except his wife; she was among those who remained behind.

Al-A’raf 7:84

وَأَمطَرنا عَلَيهِم مَطَرًا ۖ فَانظُر كَيفَ كانَ عٰقِبَةُ المُجرِمينَ

We rained a rain upon them. See how the guilty ended.

Al-A’raf 7:85

وَإِلىٰ مَديَنَ أَخاهُم شُعَيبًا ۗ قالَ يٰقَومِ اعبُدُوا اللَّهَ ما لَكُم مِن إِلٰهٍ غَيرُهُ ۖ قَد جاءَتكُم بَيِّنَةٌ مِن رَبِّكُم ۖ فَأَوفُوا الكَيلَ وَالميزانَ وَلا تَبخَسُوا النّاسَ أَشياءَهُم وَلا تُفسِدوا فِى الأَرضِ بَعدَ إِصلٰحِها ۚ ذٰلِكُم خَيرٌ لَكُم إِن كُنتُم مُؤمِنينَ

And to Midian, their brother Shuayb. He said, “My people, worship The God; you have no god other than Him. Clear evidence has come to you from your Lord. Give full measure and weight, do not diminish people’s goods, and do not cause corruption on the earth after it has been set right. That is better for you, if you are believers.”

Al-A’raf 7:86

وَلا تَقعُدوا بِكُلِّ صِرٰطٍ توعِدونَ وَتَصُدّونَ عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ مَن ءامَنَ بِهِ وَتَبغونَها عِوَجًا ۚ وَاذكُروا إِذ كُنتُم قَليلًا فَكَثَّرَكُم ۖ وَانظُروا كَيفَ كانَ عٰقِبَةُ المُفسِدينَ

Do not sit on every path, threatening and hindering from the path of The God those who believe in Him, and seeking to make it crooked. Remember when you were few and He made you many. See how the corrupters ended.

Al-A’raf 7:87

وَإِن كانَ طائِفَةٌ مِنكُم ءامَنوا بِالَّذى أُرسِلتُ بِهِ وَطائِفَةٌ لَم يُؤمِنوا فَاصبِروا حَتّىٰ يَحكُمَ اللَّهُ بَينَنا ۚ وَهُوَ خَيرُ الحٰكِمينَ

If a group among you believes in what I have been sent with, and a group does not believe, be patient until The God judges between us. He is the best of judges.

Al-A’raf 7:88

قالَ المَلَأُ الَّذينَ استَكبَروا مِن قَومِهِ لَنُخرِجَنَّكَ يٰشُعَيبُ وَالَّذينَ ءامَنوا مَعَكَ مِن قَريَتِنا أَو لَتَعودُنَّ فى مِلَّتِنا ۚ قالَ أَوَلَو كُنّا كٰرِهينَ

The arrogant leaders of his people said, “Shuayb, we will surely drive you and those who believe with you out of our town, unless you return to our way.” He said, “Even if we are unwilling?”

Al-A’raf 7:89

قَدِ افتَرَينا عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا إِن عُدنا فى مِلَّتِكُم بَعدَ إِذ نَجّىٰنَا اللَّهُ مِنها ۚ وَما يَكونُ لَنا أَن نَعودَ فيها إِلّا أَن يَشاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّنا ۚ وَسِعَ رَبُّنا كُلَّ شَىءٍ عِلمًا ۚ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلنا ۚ رَبَّنَا افتَح بَينَنا وَبَينَ قَومِنا بِالحَقِّ وَأَنتَ خَيرُ الفٰتِحينَ

We would have invented a lie about The God if we returned to your way after The God saved us from it. It is not for us to return to it unless The God, our Lord, wills. Our Lord encompasses everything in knowledge. In The God we trust. Our Lord, decide between us and our people in truth; You are the best of deciders.

Al-A’raf 7:90

وَقالَ المَلَأُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا مِن قَومِهِ لَئِنِ اتَّبَعتُم شُعَيبًا إِنَّكُم إِذًا لَخٰسِرونَ

The leaders of his people who disbelieved said, “If you follow Shuayb, you will surely be losers.”

Al-A’raf 7:91

فَأَخَذَتهُمُ الرَّجفَةُ فَأَصبَحوا فى دارِهِم جٰثِمينَ

The earthquake seized them, and they lay fallen in their dwelling.

Al-A’raf 7:92

الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا شُعَيبًا كَأَن لَم يَغنَوا فيهَا ۚ الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا شُعَيبًا كانوا هُمُ الخٰسِرينَ

Those who denied Shuayb were as though they had never lived there. Those who denied Shuayb were themselves the losers.

Al-A’raf 7:93

فَتَوَلّىٰ عَنهُم وَقالَ يٰقَومِ لَقَد أَبلَغتُكُم رِسٰلٰتِ رَبّى وَنَصَحتُ لَكُم ۖ فَكَيفَ ءاسىٰ عَلىٰ قَومٍ كٰفِرينَ

He turned away from them and said, “My people, I conveyed my Lord’s messages to you and advised you sincerely. How, then, should I grieve for a disbelieving people?”

Al-A’raf 7:94

وَما أَرسَلنا فى قَريَةٍ مِن نَبِىٍّ إِلّا أَخَذنا أَهلَها بِالبَأساءِ وَالضَّرّاءِ لَعَلَّهُم يَضَّرَّعونَ

We sent no prophet to a town without seizing its people with hardship and adversity, so that they might humble themselves in supplication.

Al-A’raf 7:95

ثُمَّ بَدَّلنا مَكانَ السَّيِّئَةِ الحَسَنَةَ حَتّىٰ عَفَوا وَقالوا قَد مَسَّ ءاباءَنَا الضَّرّاءُ وَالسَّرّاءُ فَأَخَذنٰهُم بَغتَةً وَهُم لا يَشعُرونَ

Then We replaced adversity with good until they flourished and said, “Adversity and ease touched our fathers too.” We seized them suddenly while they were unaware.

Al-A’raf 7:96

وَلَو أَنَّ أَهلَ القُرىٰ ءامَنوا وَاتَّقَوا لَفَتَحنا عَلَيهِم بَرَكٰتٍ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَالأَرضِ وَلٰكِن كَذَّبوا فَأَخَذنٰهُم بِما كانوا يَكسِبونَ

Had the people of the towns believed and been mindful, We would have opened blessings from heaven and earth for them. But they denied, so We seized them for what they used to earn.

Al-A’raf 7:97

أَفَأَمِنَ أَهلُ القُرىٰ أَن يَأتِيَهُم بَأسُنا بَيٰتًا وَهُم نائِمونَ

Do the people of the towns feel secure that Our severity will not come upon them by night while they sleep?

Al-A’raf 7:98

أَوَأَمِنَ أَهلُ القُرىٰ أَن يَأتِيَهُم بَأسُنا ضُحًى وَهُم يَلعَبونَ

Or do the people of the towns feel secure that Our severity will not come upon them in the morning while they play?

Al-A’raf 7:99

أَفَأَمِنوا مَكرَ اللَّهِ ۚ فَلا يَأمَنُ مَكرَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا القَومُ الخٰسِرونَ

Do they feel secure from the plan of The God? None feels secure from the plan of The God except the losing people.

Al-A’raf 7:100

أَوَلَم يَهدِ لِلَّذينَ يَرِثونَ الأَرضَ مِن بَعدِ أَهلِها أَن لَو نَشاءُ أَصَبنٰهُم بِذُنوبِهِم ۚ وَنَطبَعُ عَلىٰ قُلوبِهِم فَهُم لا يَسمَعونَ

Has it not become clear to those who inherit the earth after its people that, if We will, We can afflict them for their sins? We seal their hearts, so they do not hear.

Al-A’raf 7:101

تِلكَ القُرىٰ نَقُصُّ عَلَيكَ مِن أَنبائِها ۚ وَلَقَد جاءَتهُم رُسُلُهُم بِالبَيِّنٰتِ فَما كانوا لِيُؤمِنوا بِما كَذَّبوا مِن قَبلُ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ يَطبَعُ اللَّهُ عَلىٰ قُلوبِ الكٰفِرينَ

Those towns—We relate to you some of their news. Their messengers came to them with clear proofs, but they would not believe in what they had denied before. Thus The God seals the hearts of the disbelievers.

Al-A’raf 7:102

وَما وَجَدنا لِأَكثَرِهِم مِن عَهدٍ ۖ وَإِن وَجَدنا أَكثَرَهُم لَفٰسِقينَ

We found no covenant in most of them, and We found most of them disobedient.

Al-A’raf 7:103

ثُمَّ بَعَثنا مِن بَعدِهِم موسىٰ بِـٔايٰتِنا إِلىٰ فِرعَونَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِ فَظَلَموا بِها ۖ فَانظُر كَيفَ كانَ عٰقِبَةُ المُفسِدينَ

Then after them We sent Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his leaders, but they wronged them. See how the corrupters ended.

Al-A’raf 7:104

وَقالَ موسىٰ يٰفِرعَونُ إِنّى رَسولٌ مِن رَبِّ العٰلَمينَ

Moses said, “Pharaoh, I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds.”

Al-A’raf 7:105

حَقيقٌ عَلىٰ أَن لا أَقولَ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِلَّا الحَقَّ ۚ قَد جِئتُكُم بِبَيِّنَةٍ مِن رَبِّكُم فَأَرسِل مَعِىَ بَنى إِسرٰءيلَ

It is incumbent upon me to say nothing about The God except the truth. I have come to you with clear evidence from your Lord, so send the Children of Israel with me.

Al-A’raf 7:106

قالَ إِن كُنتَ جِئتَ بِـٔايَةٍ فَأتِ بِها إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقينَ

He said, “If you have come with a sign, bring it, if you are truthful.”

Al-A’raf 7:107

فَأَلقىٰ عَصاهُ فَإِذا هِىَ ثُعبانٌ مُبينٌ

He threw down his staff, and it was a manifest serpent.

Al-A’raf 7:108

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ فَإِذا هِىَ بَيضاءُ لِلنّٰظِرينَ

He drew out his hand, and it was white to those looking on.

Al-A’raf 7:109

قالَ المَلَأُ مِن قَومِ فِرعَونَ إِنَّ هٰذا لَسٰحِرٌ عَليمٌ

The leaders of Pharaoh’s people said, “This is a knowledgeable magician.”

Al-A’raf 7:110

يُريدُ أَن يُخرِجَكُم مِن أَرضِكُم ۖ فَماذا تَأمُرونَ

He wants to drive you out of your land. What, then, do you command?

Al-A’raf 7:111

قالوا أَرجِه وَأَخاهُ وَأَرسِل فِى المَدائِنِ حٰشِرينَ

They said, “Put him and his brother off, and send gatherers into the cities.”

Al-A’raf 7:112

يَأتوكَ بِكُلِّ سٰحِرٍ عَليمٍ

To bring you every knowledgeable magician.

Al-A’raf 7:113

وَجاءَ السَّحَرَةُ فِرعَونَ قالوا إِنَّ لَنا لَأَجرًا إِن كُنّا نَحنُ الغٰلِبينَ

The magicians came to Pharaoh and said, “Surely we will have a reward if we are the victors.”

Al-A’raf 7:114

قالَ نَعَم وَإِنَّكُم لَمِنَ المُقَرَّبينَ

He said, “Yes, and you will be among those brought near.”

Al-A’raf 7:115

قالوا يٰموسىٰ إِمّا أَن تُلقِىَ وَإِمّا أَن نَكونَ نَحنُ المُلقينَ

They said, “Moses, either you throw, or we will be the ones to throw.”

Al-A’raf 7:116

قالَ أَلقوا ۖ فَلَمّا أَلقَوا سَحَروا أَعيُنَ النّاسِ وَاستَرهَبوهُم وَجاءو بِسِحرٍ عَظيمٍ

He said, “Throw.” When they threw, they bewitched people’s eyes, terrified them, and produced great magic.

Al-A’raf 7:117

وَأَوحَينا إِلىٰ موسىٰ أَن أَلقِ عَصاكَ ۖ فَإِذا هِىَ تَلقَفُ ما يَأفِكونَ

We revealed to Moses, “Throw your staff.” It began swallowing what they were falsifying.

Al-A’raf 7:118

فَوَقَعَ الحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ ما كانوا يَعمَلونَ

The truth prevailed, and what they were doing came to nothing.

Al-A’raf 7:119

فَغُلِبوا هُنالِكَ وَانقَلَبوا صٰغِرينَ

They were defeated there and turned back abased.

Al-A’raf 7:120

وَأُلقِىَ السَّحَرَةُ سٰجِدينَ

The magicians were cast down in prostration.

Al-A’raf 7:121

قالوا ءامَنّا بِرَبِّ العٰلَمينَ

They said, “We believe in the Lord of the worlds.”

رَبِّ موسىٰ وَهٰرونَ

The Lord of Moses and Aaron.

Pharaoh said, “You believed in Him before I gave you permission? This is a plot you devised in the city to drive its people out. You will come to know.”

Al-A’raf 7:124

لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيدِيَكُم وَأَرجُلَكُم مِن خِلٰفٍ ثُمَّ لَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُم أَجمَعينَ

I will surely cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, then crucify you all.

Al-A’raf 7:125

قالوا إِنّا إِلىٰ رَبِّنا مُنقَلِبونَ

They said, “We are returning to our Lord.”

Al-A’raf 7:126

وَما تَنقِمُ مِنّا إِلّا أَن ءامَنّا بِـٔايٰتِ رَبِّنا لَمّا جاءَتنا ۚ رَبَّنا أَفرِغ عَلَينا صَبرًا وَتَوَفَّنا مُسلِمينَ

You resent us only because we believed in our Lord’s signs when they came to us. Our Lord, pour patience upon us and take us in submission.

Al-A’raf 7:127

وَقالَ المَلَأُ مِن قَومِ فِرعَونَ أَتَذَرُ موسىٰ وَقَومَهُ لِيُفسِدوا فِى الأَرضِ وَيَذَرَكَ وَءالِهَتَكَ ۚ قالَ سَنُقَتِّلُ أَبناءَهُم وَنَستَحيۦ نِساءَهُم وَإِنّا فَوقَهُم قٰهِرونَ

The leaders of Pharaoh’s people said, “Will you leave Moses and his people to cause corruption on the earth, and to abandon you and your gods?” He said, “We will kill their sons and keep their women alive. We are dominant over them.”

Al-A’raf 7:128

قالَ موسىٰ لِقَومِهِ استَعينوا بِاللَّهِ وَاصبِروا ۖ إِنَّ الأَرضَ لِلَّهِ يورِثُها مَن يَشاءُ مِن عِبادِهِ ۖ وَالعٰقِبَةُ لِلمُتَّقينَ

Moses said to his people, “Seek help from The God and be patient. The earth belongs to The God; He gives it as an inheritance to whomever He wills among His servants. The final outcome belongs to the mindful.”

Al-A’raf 7:129

قالوا أوذينا مِن قَبلِ أَن تَأتِيَنا وَمِن بَعدِ ما جِئتَنا ۚ قالَ عَسىٰ رَبُّكُم أَن يُهلِكَ عَدُوَّكُم وَيَستَخلِفَكُم فِى الأَرضِ فَيَنظُرَ كَيفَ تَعمَلونَ

They said, “We were harmed before you came to us and after you came.” He said, “Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you successors on the earth, then see how you act.”

Al-A’raf 7:130

وَلَقَد أَخَذنا ءالَ فِرعَونَ بِالسِّنينَ وَنَقصٍ مِنَ الثَّمَرٰتِ لَعَلَّهُم يَذَّكَّرونَ

We afflicted Pharaoh’s people with years of scarcity and a shortage of fruits, so that they might take heed.

Al-A’raf 7:131

فَإِذا جاءَتهُمُ الحَسَنَةُ قالوا لَنا هٰذِهِ ۖ وَإِن تُصِبهُم سَيِّئَةٌ يَطَّيَّروا بِموسىٰ وَمَن مَعَهُ ۗ أَلا إِنَّما طٰئِرُهُم عِندَ اللَّهِ وَلٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَهُم لا يَعلَمونَ

When good came to them, they said, “This is ours.” If adversity struck them, they took Moses and those with him as an evil omen. Their fortune is only with The God, but most of them do not know.

Al-A’raf 7:132

وَقالوا مَهما تَأتِنا بِهِ مِن ءايَةٍ لِتَسحَرَنا بِها فَما نَحنُ لَكَ بِمُؤمِنينَ

They said, “Whatever sign you bring us to bewitch us, we will not believe you.”

Al-A’raf 7:133

فَأَرسَلنا عَلَيهِمُ الطّوفانَ وَالجَرادَ وَالقُمَّلَ وَالضَّفادِعَ وَالدَّمَ ءايٰتٍ مُفَصَّلٰتٍ فَاستَكبَروا وَكانوا قَومًا مُجرِمينَ

We sent upon them the flood, locusts, lice, frogs, and blood as distinct signs. They were arrogant and were a guilty people.

Al-A’raf 7:134

وَلَمّا وَقَعَ عَلَيهِمُ الرِّجزُ قالوا يٰموسَى ادعُ لَنا رَبَّكَ بِما عَهِدَ عِندَكَ ۖ لَئِن كَشَفتَ عَنَّا الرِّجزَ لَنُؤمِنَنَّ لَكَ وَلَنُرسِلَنَّ مَعَكَ بَنى إِسرٰءيلَ

When the affliction fell upon them, they said, “Moses, call upon your Lord for us by the covenant He has with you. If you remove the affliction from us, we will surely believe you and send the Children of Israel with you.”

Al-A’raf 7:135

فَلَمّا كَشَفنا عَنهُمُ الرِّجزَ إِلىٰ أَجَلٍ هُم بٰلِغوهُ إِذا هُم يَنكُثونَ

When We removed the affliction from them until a term they were to reach, they broke their pledge.

Al-A’raf 7:136

فَانتَقَمنا مِنهُم فَأَغرَقنٰهُم فِى اليَمِّ بِأَنَّهُم كَذَّبوا بِـٔايٰتِنا وَكانوا عَنها غٰفِلينَ

We took retribution from them and drowned them in the sea because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.

Al-A’raf 7:137

وَأَورَثنَا القَومَ الَّذينَ كانوا يُستَضعَفونَ مَشٰرِقَ الأَرضِ وَمَغٰرِبَهَا الَّتى بٰرَكنا فيها ۖ وَتَمَّت كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ الحُسنىٰ عَلىٰ بَنى إِسرٰءيلَ بِما صَبَروا ۖ وَدَمَّرنا ما كانَ يَصنَعُ فِرعَونُ وَقَومُهُ وَما كانوا يَعرِشونَ

We made the people who had been oppressed inherit the eastern and western parts of the land We had blessed. Your Lord’s good word was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because they were patient. We destroyed what Pharaoh and his people were making and what they were erecting.

Al-A’raf 7:138

وَجٰوَزنا بِبَنى إِسرٰءيلَ البَحرَ فَأَتَوا عَلىٰ قَومٍ يَعكُفونَ عَلىٰ أَصنامٍ لَهُم ۚ قالوا يٰموسَى اجعَل لَنا إِلٰهًا كَما لَهُم ءالِهَةٌ ۚ قالَ إِنَّكُم قَومٌ تَجهَلونَ

We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and they came upon people devoted to idols of their own. They said, “Moses, make a god for us as they have gods.” He said, “You are a people acting ignorantly.”

Al-A’raf 7:139

إِنَّ هٰؤُلاءِ مُتَبَّرٌ ما هُم فيهِ وَبٰطِلٌ ما كانوا يَعمَلونَ

What these people are engaged in is doomed to destruction, and what they have been doing is false.

Al-A’raf 7:140

قالَ أَغَيرَ اللَّهِ أَبغيكُم إِلٰهًا وَهُوَ فَضَّلَكُم عَلَى العٰلَمينَ

He said, “Shall I seek a god for you other than The God, when He has favored you above the worlds?”

Al-A’raf 7:141

وَإِذ أَنجَينٰكُم مِن ءالِ فِرعَونَ يَسومونَكُم سوءَ العَذابِ ۖ يُقَتِّلونَ أَبناءَكُم وَيَستَحيونَ نِساءَكُم ۚ وَفى ذٰلِكُم بَلاءٌ مِن رَبِّكُم عَظيمٌ

When We saved you from Pharaoh’s people, who subjected you to terrible punishment, killing your sons and keeping your women alive. In that was a tremendous trial from your Lord.

Al-A’raf 7:142

وَوٰعَدنا موسىٰ ثَلٰثينَ لَيلَةً وَأَتمَمنٰها بِعَشرٍ فَتَمَّ ميقٰتُ رَبِّهِ أَربَعينَ لَيلَةً ۚ وَقالَ موسىٰ لِأَخيهِ هٰرونَ اخلُفنى فى قَومى وَأَصلِح وَلا تَتَّبِع سَبيلَ المُفسِدينَ

We appointed thirty nights for Moses and completed them with ten, so his Lord’s appointed time was fulfilled in forty nights. Moses said to his brother Aaron, “Take my place among my people, set things right, and do not follow the way of the corrupters.”

Al-A’raf 7:143

وَلَمّا جاءَ موسىٰ لِميقٰتِنا وَكَلَّمَهُ رَبُّهُ قالَ رَبِّ أَرِنى أَنظُر إِلَيكَ ۚ قالَ لَن تَرىٰنى وَلٰكِنِ انظُر إِلَى الجَبَلِ فَإِنِ استَقَرَّ مَكانَهُ فَسَوفَ تَرىٰنى ۚ فَلَمّا تَجَلّىٰ رَبُّهُ لِلجَبَلِ جَعَلَهُ دَكًّا وَخَرَّ موسىٰ صَعِقًا ۚ فَلَمّا أَفاقَ قالَ سُبحٰنَكَ تُبتُ إِلَيكَ وَأَنا۠ أَوَّلُ المُؤمِنينَ

When Moses came at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, “My Lord, show me, that I may look at You.” He said, “You will not see Me, but look at the mountain. If it remains in its place, you will see Me.” When his Lord manifested Himself to the mountain, He made it crumble, and Moses fell unconscious. When he recovered, he said, “Glory be to You! I turn to You in repentance, and I am the first of the believers.”

Al-A’raf 7:144

قالَ يٰموسىٰ إِنِّى اصطَفَيتُكَ عَلَى النّاسِ بِرِسٰلٰتى وَبِكَلٰمى فَخُذ ما ءاتَيتُكَ وَكُن مِنَ الشّٰكِرينَ

He said, “Moses, I have chosen you above people with My messages and My speaking. Take what I have given you and be among the grateful.”

Al-A’raf 7:145

وَكَتَبنا لَهُ فِى الأَلواحِ مِن كُلِّ شَىءٍ مَوعِظَةً وَتَفصيلًا لِكُلِّ شَىءٍ فَخُذها بِقُوَّةٍ وَأمُر قَومَكَ يَأخُذوا بِأَحسَنِها ۚ سَأُو۟ريكُم دارَ الفٰسِقينَ

We wrote for him on the tablets an admonition concerning everything and an explanation of everything. Take them firmly and command your people to take the best of them. I will show you the abode of the disobedient.

Al-A’raf 7:146

سَأَصرِفُ عَن ءايٰتِىَ الَّذينَ يَتَكَبَّرونَ فِى الأَرضِ بِغَيرِ الحَقِّ وَإِن يَرَوا كُلَّ ءايَةٍ لا يُؤمِنوا بِها وَإِن يَرَوا سَبيلَ الرُّشدِ لا يَتَّخِذوهُ سَبيلًا وَإِن يَرَوا سَبيلَ الغَىِّ يَتَّخِذوهُ سَبيلًا ۚ ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُم كَذَّبوا بِـٔايٰتِنا وَكانوا عَنها غٰفِلينَ

I will turn away from My signs those who are unjustly arrogant on the earth. If they see every sign, they will not believe in it; if they see the way of sound guidance, they will not take it as a way, but if they see the way of error, they will take it as a way. That is because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.

Al-A’raf 7:147

وَالَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِـٔايٰتِنا وَلِقاءِ الـٔاخِرَةِ حَبِطَت أَعمٰلُهُم ۚ هَل يُجزَونَ إِلّا ما كانوا يَعمَلونَ

Those who deny Our signs and the meeting of the Hereafter—their deeds have come to nothing. Are they repaid for anything but what they used to do?

Al-A’raf 7:148

وَاتَّخَذَ قَومُ موسىٰ مِن بَعدِهِ مِن حُلِيِّهِم عِجلًا جَسَدًا لَهُ خُوارٌ ۚ أَلَم يَرَوا أَنَّهُ لا يُكَلِّمُهُم وَلا يَهديهِم سَبيلًا ۘ اتَّخَذوهُ وَكانوا ظٰلِمينَ

After Moses, his people took from their ornaments a calf, a body with a lowing sound. Did they not see that it neither spoke to them nor guided them to a way? They took it and were unjust.

Al-A’raf 7:149

وَلَمّا سُقِطَ فى أَيديهِم وَرَأَوا أَنَّهُم قَد ضَلّوا قالوا لَئِن لَم يَرحَمنا رَبُّنا وَيَغفِر لَنا لَنَكونَنَّ مِنَ الخٰسِرينَ

When they were overcome with remorse and saw that they had gone astray, they said, “Unless our Lord has mercy on us and forgives us, we will surely be among the losers.”

Al-A’raf 7:150

وَلَمّا رَجَعَ موسىٰ إِلىٰ قَومِهِ غَضبٰنَ أَسِفًا قالَ بِئسَما خَلَفتُمونى مِن بَعدى ۖ أَعَجِلتُم أَمرَ رَبِّكُم ۖ وَأَلقَى الأَلواحَ وَأَخَذَ بِرَأسِ أَخيهِ يَجُرُّهُ إِلَيهِ ۚ قالَ ابنَ أُمَّ إِنَّ القَومَ استَضعَفونى وَكادوا يَقتُلونَنى فَلا تُشمِت بِىَ الأَعداءَ وَلا تَجعَلنى مَعَ القَومِ الظّٰلِمينَ

When Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said, “Evil is how you succeeded me after I left. Did you seek to hasten your Lord’s command?” He threw down the tablets and seized his brother by the head, pulling him toward himself. He said, “Son of my mother, the people overpowered me and nearly killed me. Do not make the enemies rejoice over me, and do not place me with the unjust people.”

Al-A’raf 7:151

قالَ رَبِّ اغفِر لى وَلِأَخى وَأَدخِلنا فى رَحمَتِكَ ۖ وَأَنتَ أَرحَمُ الرّٰحِمينَ

He said, “My Lord, forgive me and my brother and admit us into Your mercy. You are the most merciful of those who show mercy.”

Al-A’raf 7:152

إِنَّ الَّذينَ اتَّخَذُوا العِجلَ سَيَنالُهُم غَضَبٌ مِن رَبِّهِم وَذِلَّةٌ فِى الحَيوٰةِ الدُّنيا ۚ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجزِى المُفتَرينَ

Those who took the calf will be reached by anger from their Lord and humiliation in the worldly life. Thus We repay those who invent lies.

Al-A’raf 7:153

وَالَّذينَ عَمِلُوا السَّيِّـٔاتِ ثُمَّ تابوا مِن بَعدِها وَءامَنوا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِن بَعدِها لَغَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

Those who did evil deeds, then repented afterward and believed—your Lord after that is Forgiving, Merciful.

Al-A’raf 7:154

وَلَمّا سَكَتَ عَن موسَى الغَضَبُ أَخَذَ الأَلواحَ ۖ وَفى نُسخَتِها هُدًى وَرَحمَةٌ لِلَّذينَ هُم لِرَبِّهِم يَرهَبونَ

When Moses’ anger subsided, he took up the tablets. In their inscription were guidance and mercy for those who fear their Lord.

Al-A’raf 7:155

وَاختارَ موسىٰ قَومَهُ سَبعينَ رَجُلًا لِميقٰتِنا ۖ فَلَمّا أَخَذَتهُمُ الرَّجفَةُ قالَ رَبِّ لَو شِئتَ أَهلَكتَهُم مِن قَبلُ وَإِيّٰىَ ۖ أَتُهلِكُنا بِما فَعَلَ السُّفَهاءُ مِنّا ۖ إِن هِىَ إِلّا فِتنَتُكَ تُضِلُّ بِها مَن تَشاءُ وَتَهدى مَن تَشاءُ ۖ أَنتَ وَلِيُّنا فَاغفِر لَنا وَارحَمنا ۖ وَأَنتَ خَيرُ الغٰفِرينَ

Moses chose seventy men from his people for Our appointed time. When the earthquake seized them, he said, “My Lord, had You willed, You could have destroyed them and me before. Will You destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? This is only Your trial; by it You lead astray whomever You will and guide whomever You will. You are our guardian, so forgive us and have mercy on us. You are the best of forgivers.”

Al-A’raf 7:156

وَاكتُب لَنا فى هٰذِهِ الدُّنيا حَسَنَةً وَفِى الـٔاخِرَةِ إِنّا هُدنا إِلَيكَ ۚ قالَ عَذابى أُصيبُ بِهِ مَن أَشاءُ ۖ وَرَحمَتى وَسِعَت كُلَّ شَىءٍ ۚ فَسَأَكتُبُها لِلَّذينَ يَتَّقونَ وَيُؤتونَ الزَّكوٰةَ وَالَّذينَ هُم بِـٔايٰتِنا يُؤمِنونَ

Prescribe good for us in this world and in the Hereafter; we have turned to You. He said, “My punishment—I afflict with it whomever I will, and My mercy encompasses everything. I will prescribe it for those who are mindful, give zakat, and believe in Our signs.”

Al-A’raf 7:157

الَّذينَ يَتَّبِعونَ الرَّسولَ النَّبِىَّ الأُمِّىَّ الَّذى يَجِدونَهُ مَكتوبًا عِندَهُم فِى التَّورىٰةِ وَالإِنجيلِ يَأمُرُهُم بِالمَعروفِ وَيَنهىٰهُم عَنِ المُنكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبٰتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيهِمُ الخَبٰئِثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنهُم إِصرَهُم وَالأَغلٰلَ الَّتى كانَت عَلَيهِم ۚ فَالَّذينَ ءامَنوا بِهِ وَعَزَّروهُ وَنَصَروهُ وَاتَّبَعُوا النّورَ الَّذى أُنزِلَ مَعَهُ ۙ أُولٰئِكَ هُمُ المُفلِحونَ

Those who follow the Messenger, the ummī Prophet, whom they find written with them in the Torah and the Gospel. He commands them to what is right, forbids them what is wrong, makes good things lawful for them and impure things unlawful, and removes their burden and the shackles that were upon them. Those who believe in him, support him, help him, and follow the light sent down with him are the successful.

Al-A’raf 7:158

قُل يٰأَيُّهَا النّاسُ إِنّى رَسولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيكُم جَميعًا الَّذى لَهُ مُلكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضِ ۖ لا إِلٰهَ إِلّا هُوَ يُحيۦ وَيُميتُ ۖ فَـٔامِنوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ النَّبِىِّ الأُمِّىِّ الَّذى يُؤمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَكَلِمٰتِهِ وَاتَّبِعوهُ لَعَلَّكُم تَهتَدونَ

Say, “People, I am the messenger of The God to you all, the One to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is no god except Him; He gives life and causes death. Believe in The God and His Messenger, the ummī Prophet who believes in The God and His words, and follow him so that you may be guided.”

Al-A’raf 7:159

وَمِن قَومِ موسىٰ أُمَّةٌ يَهدونَ بِالحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعدِلونَ

Among the people of Moses is a community that guides by the truth and acts justly by it.

Al-A’raf 7:160

وَقَطَّعنٰهُمُ اثنَتَى عَشرَةَ أَسباطًا أُمَمًا ۚ وَأَوحَينا إِلىٰ موسىٰ إِذِ استَسقىٰهُ قَومُهُ أَنِ اضرِب بِعَصاكَ الحَجَرَ ۖ فَانبَجَسَت مِنهُ اثنَتا عَشرَةَ عَينًا ۖ قَد عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُناسٍ مَشرَبَهُم ۚ وَظَلَّلنا عَلَيهِمُ الغَمٰمَ وَأَنزَلنا عَلَيهِمُ المَنَّ وَالسَّلوىٰ ۖ كُلوا مِن طَيِّبٰتِ ما رَزَقنٰكُم ۚ وَما ظَلَمونا وَلٰكِن كانوا أَنفُسَهُم يَظلِمونَ

We divided them into twelve tribes, communities. We revealed to Moses, when his people asked him for water, “Strike the rock with your staff.” Twelve springs gushed from it; each group knew its drinking place. We shaded them with clouds and sent down manna and quails to them: “Eat of the good things We have provided you.” They did not wrong Us, but they were wronging themselves.

Al-A’raf 7:161

وَإِذ قيلَ لَهُمُ اسكُنوا هٰذِهِ القَريَةَ وَكُلوا مِنها حَيثُ شِئتُم وَقولوا حِطَّةٌ وَادخُلُوا البابَ سُجَّدًا نَغفِر لَكُم خَطيـٰٔتِكُم ۚ سَنَزيدُ المُحسِنينَ

When it was said to them, “Dwell in this town and eat from it wherever you wish, say, ‘A lowering of the burden,’ and enter the gate in prostration. We will forgive your errors and increase the doers of good.”

Al-A’raf 7:162

فَبَدَّلَ الَّذينَ ظَلَموا مِنهُم قَولًا غَيرَ الَّذى قيلَ لَهُم فَأَرسَلنا عَلَيهِم رِجزًا مِنَ السَّماءِ بِما كانوا يَظلِمونَ

Those among them who did wrong substituted a saying other than what they had been told, so We sent an affliction upon them from heaven for their wrongdoing.

Al-A’raf 7:163

وَسـَٔلهُم عَنِ القَريَةِ الَّتى كانَت حاضِرَةَ البَحرِ إِذ يَعدونَ فِى السَّبتِ إِذ تَأتيهِم حيتانُهُم يَومَ سَبتِهِم شُرَّعًا وَيَومَ لا يَسبِتونَ ۙ لا تَأتيهِم ۚ كَذٰلِكَ نَبلوهُم بِما كانوا يَفسُقونَ

Ask them about the town by the sea, when they transgressed on the Sabbath: their fish came openly to them on their Sabbath day, but on the day they did not keep Sabbath, they did not come. Thus We tested them because of their disobedience.

Al-A’raf 7:164

وَإِذ قالَت أُمَّةٌ مِنهُم لِمَ تَعِظونَ قَومًا ۙ اللَّهُ مُهلِكُهُم أَو مُعَذِّبُهُم عَذابًا شَديدًا ۖ قالوا مَعذِرَةً إِلىٰ رَبِّكُم وَلَعَلَّهُم يَتَّقونَ

When a community among them said, “Why do you admonish people whom The God will destroy or punish severely?” They said, “As an excuse before your Lord, and so that they may be mindful.”

Al-A’raf 7:165

فَلَمّا نَسوا ما ذُكِّروا بِهِ أَنجَينَا الَّذينَ يَنهَونَ عَنِ السّوءِ وَأَخَذنَا الَّذينَ ظَلَموا بِعَذابٍ بَـٔيسٍ بِما كانوا يَفسُقونَ

When they forgot what they had been reminded of, We saved those who forbade evil and seized those who did wrong with a terrible punishment for their disobedience.

Al-A’raf 7:166

فَلَمّا عَتَوا عَن ما نُهوا عَنهُ قُلنا لَهُم كونوا قِرَدَةً خٰسِـٔينَ

When they defiantly persisted in what they had been forbidden, We said to them, “Be apes, despised.”

Al-A’raf 7:167

وَإِذ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكَ لَيَبعَثَنَّ عَلَيهِم إِلىٰ يَومِ القِيٰمَةِ مَن يَسومُهُم سوءَ العَذابِ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَسَريعُ العِقابِ ۖ وَإِنَّهُ لَغَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

When your Lord declared that He would send against them, until the Day of Resurrection, those who would subject them to terrible punishment. Your Lord is swift in punishment, and He is Forgiving, Merciful.

Al-A’raf 7:168

وَقَطَّعنٰهُم فِى الأَرضِ أُمَمًا ۖ مِنهُمُ الصّٰلِحونَ وَمِنهُم دونَ ذٰلِكَ ۖ وَبَلَونٰهُم بِالحَسَنٰتِ وَالسَّيِّـٔاتِ لَعَلَّهُم يَرجِعونَ

We dispersed them on the earth as communities. Among them are the righteous, and among them are those short of that. We tested them with good things and bad, so that they might return.

Al-A’raf 7:169

فَخَلَفَ مِن بَعدِهِم خَلفٌ وَرِثُوا الكِتٰبَ يَأخُذونَ عَرَضَ هٰذَا الأَدنىٰ وَيَقولونَ سَيُغفَرُ لَنا وَإِن يَأتِهِم عَرَضٌ مِثلُهُ يَأخُذوهُ ۚ أَلَم يُؤخَذ عَلَيهِم ميثٰقُ الكِتٰبِ أَن لا يَقولوا عَلَى اللَّهِ إِلَّا الحَقَّ وَدَرَسوا ما فيهِ ۗ وَالدّارُ الـٔاخِرَةُ خَيرٌ لِلَّذينَ يَتَّقونَ ۗ أَفَلا تَعقِلونَ

Successors came after them who inherited the Book, taking the goods of this lower life and saying, “We will be forgiven.” If similar goods came to them, they would take them too. Was the covenant of the Book not taken from them, that they say nothing about The God except the truth? They have studied what is in it. The abode of the Hereafter is better for those who are mindful. Will you not reason?

Al-A’raf 7:170

وَالَّذينَ يُمَسِّكونَ بِالكِتٰبِ وَأَقامُوا الصَّلوٰةَ إِنّا لا نُضيعُ أَجرَ المُصلِحينَ

Those who hold firmly to the Book and establish prayer—We do not let the reward of those who set things right go to waste.

Al-A’raf 7:171

وَإِذ نَتَقنَا الجَبَلَ فَوقَهُم كَأَنَّهُ ظُلَّةٌ وَظَنّوا أَنَّهُ واقِعٌ بِهِم خُذوا ما ءاتَينٰكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَاذكُروا ما فيهِ لَعَلَّكُم تَتَّقونَ

When We raised the mountain above them as though it were a canopy, and they thought it would fall upon them: “Take what We have given you firmly and remember what is in it, so that you may be mindful.”

Al-A’raf 7:172

وَإِذ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِن بَنى ءادَمَ مِن ظُهورِهِم ذُرِّيَّتَهُم وَأَشهَدَهُم عَلىٰ أَنفُسِهِم أَلَستُ بِرَبِّكُم ۖ قالوا بَلىٰ ۛ شَهِدنا ۛ أَن تَقولوا يَومَ القِيٰمَةِ إِنّا كُنّا عَن هٰذا غٰفِلينَ

When your Lord took from the Children of Adam, from their backs, their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves: “Am I not your Lord?” They said, “Yes, we testify.” Lest you say on the Day of Resurrection, “We were unaware of this.”

Al-A’raf 7:173

أَو تَقولوا إِنَّما أَشرَكَ ءاباؤُنا مِن قَبلُ وَكُنّا ذُرِّيَّةً مِن بَعدِهِم ۖ أَفَتُهلِكُنا بِما فَعَلَ المُبطِلونَ

Or say, “Our fathers associated partners before us, and we were descendants after them. Will You destroy us for what the followers of falsehood did?”

Al-A’raf 7:174

وَكَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الـٔايٰتِ وَلَعَلَّهُم يَرجِعونَ

Thus We explain the signs in detail, and so that they may return.

Al-A’raf 7:175

وَاتلُ عَلَيهِم نَبَأَ الَّذى ءاتَينٰهُ ءايٰتِنا فَانسَلَخَ مِنها فَأَتبَعَهُ الشَّيطٰنُ فَكانَ مِنَ الغاوينَ

Recite to them the news of the one to whom We gave Our signs, who then cast them off. Satan pursued him, and he became one of those who went astray.

Al-A’raf 7:176

وَلَو شِئنا لَرَفَعنٰهُ بِها وَلٰكِنَّهُ أَخلَدَ إِلَى الأَرضِ وَاتَّبَعَ هَوىٰهُ ۚ فَمَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ الكَلبِ إِن تَحمِل عَلَيهِ يَلهَث أَو تَترُكهُ يَلهَث ۚ ذٰلِكَ مَثَلُ القَومِ الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِـٔايٰتِنا ۚ فَاقصُصِ القَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُم يَتَفَكَّرونَ

Had We willed, We would have raised him through them, but he clung to the earth and followed his desire. His likeness is that of a dog: if you drive it away, it pants, and if you leave it, it pants. That is the likeness of the people who deny Our signs. Relate the account, so that they may reflect.

Al-A’raf 7:177

ساءَ مَثَلًا القَومُ الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِـٔايٰتِنا وَأَنفُسَهُم كانوا يَظلِمونَ

Evil is the likeness of the people who deny Our signs and wrong themselves.

Al-A’raf 7:178

مَن يَهدِ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ المُهتَدى ۖ وَمَن يُضلِل فَأُولٰئِكَ هُمُ الخٰسِرونَ

Whomever The God guides is the guided one. Whomever He leads astray—those are the losers.

Al-A’raf 7:179

وَلَقَد ذَرَأنا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثيرًا مِنَ الجِنِّ وَالإِنسِ ۖ لَهُم قُلوبٌ لا يَفقَهونَ بِها وَلَهُم أَعيُنٌ لا يُبصِرونَ بِها وَلَهُم ءاذانٌ لا يَسمَعونَ بِها ۚ أُولٰئِكَ كَالأَنعٰمِ بَل هُم أَضَلُّ ۚ أُولٰئِكَ هُمُ الغٰفِلونَ

We have brought forth for Hell many of the jinn and humans. They have hearts with which they do not understand, eyes with which they do not see, and ears with which they do not hear. They are like livestock, but more astray. They are the heedless.

Al-A’raf 7:180

وَلِلَّهِ الأَسماءُ الحُسنىٰ فَادعوهُ بِها ۖ وَذَرُوا الَّذينَ يُلحِدونَ فى أَسمٰئِهِ ۚ سَيُجزَونَ ما كانوا يَعمَلونَ

The finest names belong to The God, so call upon Him by them. Leave those who deviate concerning His names; they will be repaid for what they used to do.

Al-A’raf 7:181

وَمِمَّن خَلَقنا أُمَّةٌ يَهدونَ بِالحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعدِلونَ

Among those We have created is a community that guides by the truth and acts justly by it.

Al-A’raf 7:182

وَالَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِـٔايٰتِنا سَنَستَدرِجُهُم مِن حَيثُ لا يَعلَمونَ

Those who deny Our signs—We will draw them on step by step from where they do not know.

Al-A’raf 7:183

وَأُملى لَهُم ۚ إِنَّ كَيدى مَتينٌ

I grant them respite. My plan is firm.

Al-A’raf 7:184

أَوَلَم يَتَفَكَّروا ۗ ما بِصاحِبِهِم مِن جِنَّةٍ ۚ إِن هُوَ إِلّا نَذيرٌ مُبينٌ

Have they not reflected? There is no madness in their companion. He is only a clear warner.

Al-A’raf 7:185

أَوَلَم يَنظُروا فى مَلَكوتِ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِن شَىءٍ وَأَن عَسىٰ أَن يَكونَ قَدِ اقتَرَبَ أَجَلُهُم ۖ فَبِأَىِّ حَديثٍ بَعدَهُ يُؤمِنونَ

Have they not looked into the dominion of the heavens and the earth, everything The God has created, and the possibility that their term may have drawn near? In what discourse after this will they believe?

Al-A’raf 7:186

مَن يُضلِلِ اللَّهُ فَلا هادِىَ لَهُ ۚ وَيَذَرُهُم فى طُغيٰنِهِم يَعمَهونَ

Whomever The God leads astray has no guide. He leaves them wandering blindly in their transgression.

Al-A’raf 7:187

يَسـَٔلونَكَ عَنِ السّاعَةِ أَيّانَ مُرسىٰها ۖ قُل إِنَّما عِلمُها عِندَ رَبّى ۖ لا يُجَلّيها لِوَقتِها إِلّا هُوَ ۚ ثَقُلَت فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالأَرضِ ۚ لا تَأتيكُم إِلّا بَغتَةً ۗ يَسـَٔلونَكَ كَأَنَّكَ حَفِىٌّ عَنها ۖ قُل إِنَّما عِلمُها عِندَ اللَّهِ وَلٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَ النّاسِ لا يَعلَمونَ

They ask you about the Hour: when will it arrive? Say, “Knowledge of it is only with my Lord. None but Him will reveal it at its time. It weighs heavily in the heavens and the earth. It will come upon you only suddenly.” They ask you as though you were fully acquainted with it. Say, “Knowledge of it is only with The God, but most people do not know.”

Al-A’raf 7:188

قُل لا أَملِكُ لِنَفسى نَفعًا وَلا ضَرًّا إِلّا ما شاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ وَلَو كُنتُ أَعلَمُ الغَيبَ لَاستَكثَرتُ مِنَ الخَيرِ وَما مَسَّنِىَ السّوءُ ۚ إِن أَنا۠ إِلّا نَذيرٌ وَبَشيرٌ لِقَومٍ يُؤمِنونَ

Say, “I possess no benefit or harm for myself except as The God wills. Had I known the unseen, I would have acquired much good, and no evil would have touched me. I am only a warner and a bearer of good news for people who believe.”

Al-A’raf 7:189

هُوَ الَّذى خَلَقَكُم مِن نَفسٍ وٰحِدَةٍ وَجَعَلَ مِنها زَوجَها لِيَسكُنَ إِلَيها ۖ فَلَمّا تَغَشّىٰها حَمَلَت حَملًا خَفيفًا فَمَرَّت بِهِ ۖ فَلَمّا أَثقَلَت دَعَوَا اللَّهَ رَبَّهُما لَئِن ءاتَيتَنا صٰلِحًا لَنَكونَنَّ مِنَ الشّٰكِرينَ

He is the One who created you from a single soul and made from it its mate, so that he might find rest with her. When he covered her, she bore a light burden and went about with it. When she grew heavy, they called upon The God, their Lord: “If You give us a sound one, we will surely be among the grateful.”

Al-A’raf 7:190

فَلَمّا ءاتىٰهُما صٰلِحًا جَعَلا لَهُ شُرَكاءَ فيما ءاتىٰهُما ۚ فَتَعٰلَى اللَّهُ عَمّا يُشرِكونَ

When He gave them a sound one, they assigned partners to Him in what He had given them. Exalted is The God above what they associate as partners.

Al-A’raf 7:191

أَيُشرِكونَ ما لا يَخلُقُ شَيـًٔا وَهُم يُخلَقونَ

Do they associate those who create nothing and are themselves created?

Al-A’raf 7:192

وَلا يَستَطيعونَ لَهُم نَصرًا وَلا أَنفُسَهُم يَنصُرونَ

They cannot help them, nor can they help themselves.

Al-A’raf 7:193

وَإِن تَدعوهُم إِلَى الهُدىٰ لا يَتَّبِعوكُم ۚ سَواءٌ عَلَيكُم أَدَعَوتُموهُم أَم أَنتُم صٰمِتونَ

If you call them to guidance, they will not follow you. It is the same for you whether you call them or remain silent.

Al-A’raf 7:194

إِنَّ الَّذينَ تَدعونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ عِبادٌ أَمثالُكُم ۖ فَادعوهُم فَليَستَجيبوا لَكُم إِن كُنتُم صٰدِقينَ

Those you call upon apart from The God are servants like you. Call upon them, then, and let them answer you, if you are truthful.

Al-A’raf 7:195

أَلَهُم أَرجُلٌ يَمشونَ بِها ۖ أَم لَهُم أَيدٍ يَبطِشونَ بِها ۖ أَم لَهُم أَعيُنٌ يُبصِرونَ بِها ۖ أَم لَهُم ءاذانٌ يَسمَعونَ بِها ۗ قُلِ ادعوا شُرَكاءَكُم ثُمَّ كيدونِ فَلا تُنظِرونِ

Do they have feet with which they walk, hands with which they grasp, eyes with which they see, or ears with which they hear? Say, “Call your partners, then scheme against me and give me no respite.”

Al-A’raf 7:196

إِنَّ وَلِـِّۧىَ اللَّهُ الَّذى نَزَّلَ الكِتٰبَ ۖ وَهُوَ يَتَوَلَّى الصّٰلِحينَ

My guardian is The God, who sent down the Book. He takes care of the righteous.

Al-A’raf 7:197

وَالَّذينَ تَدعونَ مِن دونِهِ لا يَستَطيعونَ نَصرَكُم وَلا أَنفُسَهُم يَنصُرونَ

Those you call upon apart from Him cannot help you, nor can they help themselves.

Al-A’raf 7:198

وَإِن تَدعوهُم إِلَى الهُدىٰ لا يَسمَعوا ۖ وَتَرىٰهُم يَنظُرونَ إِلَيكَ وَهُم لا يُبصِرونَ

If you call them to guidance, they do not hear. You see them looking at you, but they do not see.

Al-A’raf 7:199

خُذِ العَفوَ وَأمُر بِالعُرفِ وَأَعرِض عَنِ الجٰهِلينَ

Take to pardon, command what is right, and turn away from the ignorant.

Al-A’raf 7:200

وَإِمّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيطٰنِ نَزغٌ فَاستَعِذ بِاللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ سَميعٌ عَليمٌ

If an incitement from Satan provokes you, seek refuge in The God. He is Hearing, Knowing.

Al-A’raf 7:201

إِنَّ الَّذينَ اتَّقَوا إِذا مَسَّهُم طٰئِفٌ مِنَ الشَّيطٰنِ تَذَكَّروا فَإِذا هُم مُبصِرونَ

Those who are mindful, when a passing impulse from Satan touches them, remember, and then they see clearly.

Al-A’raf 7:202

وَإِخوٰنُهُم يَمُدّونَهُم فِى الغَىِّ ثُمَّ لا يُقصِرونَ

Their brothers draw them further into error, then do not relent.

Al-A’raf 7:203

وَإِذا لَم تَأتِهِم بِـٔايَةٍ قالوا لَولَا اجتَبَيتَها ۚ قُل إِنَّما أَتَّبِعُ ما يوحىٰ إِلَىَّ مِن رَبّى ۚ هٰذا بَصائِرُ مِن رَبِّكُم وَهُدًى وَرَحمَةٌ لِقَومٍ يُؤمِنونَ

When you do not bring them a sign, they say, “Why did you not select it yourself?” Say, “I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord.” These are insights from your Lord, and guidance and mercy for people who believe.

Al-A’raf 7:204

وَإِذا قُرِئَ القُرءانُ فَاستَمِعوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتوا لَعَلَّكُم تُرحَمونَ

When the Qur’an is recited, listen to it and be silent, so that you may receive mercy.

Al-A’raf 7:205

وَاذكُر رَبَّكَ فى نَفسِكَ تَضَرُّعًا وَخيفَةً وَدونَ الجَهرِ مِنَ القَولِ بِالغُدُوِّ وَالـٔاصالِ وَلا تَكُن مِنَ الغٰفِلينَ

Remember your Lord within yourself, humbly and fearfully, without loud speech, in the mornings and evenings, and do not be among the heedless.

Al-A’raf 7:206

إِنَّ الَّذينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لا يَستَكبِرونَ عَن عِبادَتِهِ وَيُسَبِّحونَهُ وَلَهُ يَسجُدونَ ۩

Those who are with your Lord are not too proud to worship Him. They glorify Him and prostrate themselves to Him.
