آية رقم 1

Al-A'raf


(7:1) Alif-Lam-Mim-Sad.

(7:2) This is a Book revealed to you. 1 Let there be no impediment
in your heart about it.2 (It has been revealed to you) that you may
thereby warn [the unbelievers], that it may be a reminder to the believers.3
آية رقم 6

(7:6) So We shall call to account those to whom Messengers were sent,6
and We shall call to account the Messengers (to see how dutifully they conveyed
the Message, and how people responded to it).7
آية رقم 7

(7:7) Then We shall narrate to them with knowledge the whole account. For
surely, We were not away from them.

(7:11) We initiated your creation, then We gave you each a shape, and then
We said to the angels: 'Prostrate before Adam.') 0 They all prostrated
except Iblis: he was not one of those who fell Prostrate.
آية رقم 14

(7:14) Satan replied: 'Give me respite till the Day they shall be raised.'
آية رقم 16

(7:16) Satan said: 'Since You have led me astray, I shall surely sit in ambush
for them on Your Straight Path.
آية رقم 21

(7:21) And he swore to them both: 'Surely I am your sincere adviser.'

(7:23) Both cried out: 'Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You do not
forgive us and do not have mercy on us, we shall surely be among the losers.'3
آية رقم 25

(7:25) He continued: 'You shall live there, and there shall you die, and
from it you shall be raised to life.'

(7:29) Say to them (0 Muhammad): 'My Lord enjoins justice; and that you set
your faces aright at the time of every Prayer; and that you call upon Him, exclusively
dedicating your faith to Him. You shall return to Him as you were created.'9

(7:30) A party He has guided to the Right Way, and for another party straying
is justly its due for they have taken satans, rather than Allah, as their guardians,
even though they think that they are rightly-guided.

(7:32) Say (0 Muhammad): 'Who has forbidden the adornment which Allah has
brought forth for His creatures or the good things from among the means of sustenance?'2
Say: 'These are for the enjoyment of the believers in this world, and shall
be exclusively theirs on the Day of Resurrection.'3 Thus do We clearly
expound Our revelations for those who have knowledge.

(7:33) Tell them (0 Muhammad): 'My Lord has only forbidden indecent acts,
whether overt or hidden;4 all manner of sin;5 wrongful
transgression;6 and [He has forbidden] that you associate with Allah
in His divinity that for which He has sent down no sanction; and that you ascribe
to Allah things of which you have no sure knowledge that they are from Him.'

(7:36) And those who reject Our revelations as false and turn away from them
in arrogance, they shall be the inmates of Hell; and there shall they abide.8

(7:37) Who is more unjust then he who invents a falsehood, ascribing it to
Allah, or who rejects His revelation as false? Their full portion of God's Decree
shall reach them,9 until Our deputed angels come to them to take
charge of their souls, and say: 'Where are the deities now, those whom you invoked
besides Allah?' They will say: 'They are all gone away from us.' And they shall
bear witness against themselves that they were unbelievers.

(7:38) Allah ivill say: 'Enter the fire of Hell and join the nations of jinn
and men that have gone before You.' As a nation enters Hill, it will curse the
one that went before it, and when all are gathered there, the last of them shall
say of the first: 'Our Lord! These are the ones who led us astray. Let their
torment be doubled in Hell-Fire.' He will answer: 'Each will have a doubled
torment; although you do not know.'0

(7:43) We shall strip away all rancour from their hearts,2 and
rivers shall flow beneath them, and they shall say: 'All praise be to Allah
Who has guided us on to this. Had it not been for Allah Who granted us guidance,
we would not be on the Right Path. Surely the Messengers of our Lord did indeed
come down with truth.' Then a voice will cry out to them: 'This is the Paradise
which you are made to inherit as a reward for your deeds.' 3

(7:46) And between the two there will be a barrier, and on the Heights will
be men who will recognize each person by his mark and will cry, out to the people
of Paradise: 'Peace be to you.'These will be the ones who had not yet joined
them in Paradise, though they long to do so.4

(7:48) And the people of the Heights will cry out to the men whom they would
recognize by their marks. saving: 'Neither your numbers nor the riches of which
you were proud availed you.

(7:52) Surely We have brought them a Book which We expounded with knowledge;6
a guidance and a mercy to those who believe ' 7

(7:53) Are they waiting for the fulfilment of its warning?8 On
the Day that warning is fulfilled, those that have neglected it before will
say: 'The Messengers of Our Lord did indeed bring forth the truth. Are there
any intercessors who will now plead on our behalf? Or, can we be restored to
life that we might perform differently from that which we did? '9
They surely ended in utter loss, and the lies they had fabricated failed them.

(7:54) Surely your Lord is none other than Allah, Who created the heavens
and the earth in six days,0 and then ascended His Throne;1
Who causes the night to cover the day and then the day swiftly pursues the night;
Who created the sun and the moon and the stars making them all subservient to
His command. Lo! His is the creation and His is the command.2 Blessed
is Allah,3 the Lord of the universe.

(7:58) As for the good land, vegetation comes forth in abundance by the command
of its Lord, whereas from the bad land, only poor vegetation comes forth.6
Thus do We expound Our signs in diverse ways for a people who are grateful.

(7:63) Do you wonder that admonition should come to you from your Lord through
a man from amongst yourselves that he may warn you, that you may avoid evil
and that mercy may be shown to you?'9

(7:64) But they charged him with falsehood. Thereupon We delivered Noah and
those who were with him in the Ark, and caused those who rejected Our signs
as false to be drowned.0 Surely they were a blind folk.

(7:70) They said: 'Have you come to us that we should worship none other
than Allah and forsake all whom our forefathers were wont to worship?3
Then bring upon us the scourge with which you have threatened us if you are
truthful?'

(7:73) And to Thamud7 We sent forth their brother. Salih. He
said to them: '0 my people! Serve Allah, you have no other god than Him. Truly
there has come to you a clear proof from your Lord. This she-camel from Allah
is a Divine portent for you.8 So leave her alone to pasture on Allah's
earth, and touch her with no evil lest a painful chastisement should seize you.

(7:77) Then they hamstrung the she-camel,1 disdainfuliy disobeyed
the commandment of their Lord, and said: '0 Salih! Bring upon us the scourge
with which you threatened us if you are truly a Messenger [of Allah].'
آية رقم 78

(7:78) Thereupon a shocking catastrophe seized them,2 so that
they lay prostrate in their dwellings.

(7:80) And remember when We sent Lot [as a Messeng to his people and he said
to them:3 'Do you realize you practise an indecency of which no
other people in the world were guilty of before you?

(7:85) And to Midian9 We sent forth their brother Shu'ayb He
exhorted them: O my people! Serve Allah, you have no god but Him. Indeed a clear
proof has come to you from your Lord. So give just weight and measure and diminish
not to men their things '0 and make no mischief on the earth after
it has been set in good order.1 That is to your own good, if you
truly believe.2

(7:89) If we return to your faith after Allah has delivered us from it we
would be fabricating a lie against Allah. nor can we return to it again unless
it be by, the will of Allah, our Lord.3 Our Lord has knowledge of
all things, and in Allah we put our trust. Our Lord! Judge rightly between us
and our people, for You are the best of those who judge.'
آية رقم 91

(7:91) Thereupon a shocking catastrophe seized them, and they remained prostrate
in their dwellings.

(7:93) Shu'ayb then departed from his people, and said: '0 my people! Surely
I conveyed to you the message of my Lord, and gave you sincere advice. How,
then, can I mourn for a people who refuse to accept the truth?'6

(7:96) Had the people of those towns believed and been God-fearing, We would
certainly have opened up to them blessings from the heavens and the earth; but
they gave the lie [to their Prophets] and so We seized them for their deeds.
so.

(7:97) Do the people of those towns feel secure that Our punishment will
not come to them at night while they are asleep?

(7:98) Or, do the people of those towns feel secure that Our punishment will
not come to them by daylight while they are at play?

(7:100) Has it not, then, become plain to those who have inherited the earth
in the wake of the former generations that, had We so willed, We could have
afflicted them for their sins,9 (they, however, are heedless to
basic facts and so) We seal their hearts so that they hear nothing.0
آية رقم 107

(7:107) Thereupon Moses threw his rod, and suddenly it was a veritable serpent.
آية رقم 108

(7:108) Then he drew out his hand, and it appeared luminous to all beholders.7
آية رقم 111

(7:111) Then they advised Pharaoh: 'Put off Moses and his brother for a while,
and send forth heralds to your cities
آية رقم 112

(7:112) to summon every skilful magician to your presence.'9
آية رقم 114

(7:114) Pharaoh replied: 'Certainly, and you shall be among those who are
near to me.'

(7:116) Moses said: 'You throw.' So when they threw [their rods], they enchanted
the eyes of the people, and struck them with awe, and produced a mighty sorcery.
آية رقم 119

(7:119) Pharaoh and his men were defeated and put to shame,
آية رقم 120

(7:120) and the magicians flung themselves prostrate,
آية رقم 121

(7:121) saying: 'We believe in the Lord of the universe,
آية رقم 122

(7:122) the Lord of Moses and Aaron.'1

(7:127) The elders of Pharaoh's people said: 'Will you leave alone Moses
and his people to spread mischief in the land, and forsake you and your gods?'
Pharaoh replied: 'We will kill their male children and spare their female ones.
3 For indeed we hold irresistible sway over them.'

(7:133) Then We afflicted them with a great flood 5 and locusts,
and the lice6 , and the frogs, and the blood. All these were distinct
signs and yet they remained haughty. They were a wicked people.

(7:135) But when We removed the scourge from them until a term - a term which
they were bound to reach - they at once broke their promise.

(7:136) So We inflicted Our retribution on them, and caused them to drown
in the sea because they gave the lie to Our signs and were heedless of them.
آية رقم 140

(7:140) Moses said: 'Should I seek any god for you other than Allah although
it is He who has exalted you above all?'

(7:141) And call to mind when We delivered you from Pharaoh's people who
perpetrated on you a terrible torment, putting your males to death and sparing
your females. Surely in it there was an awesome trial for you from your Lord.

(7:143) And when Moses came at Our appointment, and his Lord spoke to him,
he said: 'O my Lord! Reveal Yourself to me, that I may look upon You!' He replied:
'Never can you see Me. However, behold this mount; if it remains firm in its
place, only then you will be able to see Me.' And as soon as his Lord unveiled
His glory to the mount, He crushed it into fine dust, and Moses fell down in
a swoon. And when he recovered, he said: 'Glory be to You! To You I turn in
repentance, and I am the foremost among those who believe.'

(7:144) He said: 'O Moses! I have indeed preferred you to all others by virtue
of the Message I have entrusted to you and by virtue of My speaking to you.
Hold fast therefore, to whatever I have granted you, and give thanks.'

(7:145) And We ordained for Moses in the Tablets all manner of admonition,
and instruction concerning all things,1 and said to him: Hold to
these, with all your strength. and bid your people to follow them in accord
with their best understanding.2 I shall soon show you the habitation
of the wicked. 3

(7:146) I shall turn away from My signs those who, without any right, behaved
haughtily in the earth,4 even if they may, witness each and every,
sign, they shall not believe therein. And even if they see the right path, they
shall still not follow it; but if they see the path of error. they shall choose
it for their path. This is because they rejected Our signs as false and were
heedless to them.

(7:150) And when Moses returned to his people, full of wrath and sorrow,
he said: 'Vile is the course you have followed in my absence. Could you not
patiently wait for the decree of your Lord?' And he threw down the Tablets [of
the Law] and took hold of his brother's head, dragging him to himself. Aaron
said: 'My mother's son, the people overpowered me and almost killed me. So let
not my enemies gloat over me, and do not number me among the wrong-doing folk.'8

(7:151) Thereupon Moses said: 'O Lord! Grant forgiveness upon me and my brother
and admit us to Your Mercy, for You are most merciful of the merciful.'

(7:152) In reply they were told: 'Verily those who worshipped the calf will
certainly incur indignation from their Lord, and will be abased in the life
of this world. Thus do We reward those who fabricate lies.

(7:155) And out of his people Moses singled out seventy men for Our appointment.
9 Then, when violent shaking seized them, he addressed his Lord:
'Had You willed, O my Lord, You could have destroyed them and me long ago. Will
You destroy us for what the fools amongst us did? That was nothing but a trial
from You whereby You mislead whom You will and guide whom You will. 0
You alone are our guardian. Forgive us, then, and have mercy upon us. You are
the best of those who forgive.

(7:157) [To-day this mercy is for] those who follow the ummi Prophet,
2 whom they find mentioned in the Torah and the Gospel with them.3
He enjoins upon them what is good and forbids them what is evil. He makes the
clean things lawful to them and prohibits all corrupt things,4
and removes from them their burdens and the shackles that were upon them.5
So those who believe in him and assist him, and succour him and follow the Light
which has been sent down with him, it is they who shall prosper.
آية رقم 159

(7:159) Among the people of Moses'6 there was a party who guided
others in the way of the truth and established justice in its light. 7

(7:160) And We divided them into twelve tribes, forming them into communities.8
When his people asked Moses for water We directed him: 'Smite the rock with
your rod.' Then twelve springs gushed forth from the rock and every people knew
their drinking-places. And We caused thick clouds to provide them shade, and
We sent down upon them manna and quails,9 saying: 'Eat of the clean
things that We have provided you.' They wronged not Us, but it was themselves
that they wronged.

(7:164) And recall when a party of them said: 'Why do you admonish a people
whom Allah is about to destroy or punish severely?' They said: 'We admonish
them in order to be able to offer an excuse before Your Lord, and in the hope
that they will guard against disobedience.'

(7:167) And recall when Your Lord proclaimed7 that 'He would
continually set in authority over them, till the Day of Judgement, those who
would ruthless oppress thern.'8 Surely, your Lord is swift in chastising;
and yet He is All-Forgiving, All-Merciful.

(7:168) And We dispersed them through the earth in communities - some were
righteous, others were not -and We tested them with prosperity and adversity
that they may turn back (to righteousness).

(7:169) Then others succeeded them who inherited the scriptures, and yet
kept themselves occupied in acquiring the goods of this world and kept saying:
'We shall be forgiven.' And when there comes to them an opportunity for acquiring
more of those goods, they seize it.9 Was not the covenant of the
Book taken from them that they would not ascribe to Allah anything but the truth?
And they have read what is in the Book0 and know that the abode
of the Hereafter is better for the God-fearing.1 Do you not understand?

(7:170) Those who hold fast to the Book and establish Prayer - We shall not
allow the reward of such righteous men to go to waste.

(7:171) And recall when We shook the mountain over them as though it were
a canopy, and they thought that it was going to fall over them; and We said:
'Hold firmly to that which We have given you, and remember what is in it, that
you may guard against evil.2

(7:173) Or say: 'Our forefathers before us who associated others with Allah
in His divinity; we were merely their offspring who followed them. And would
You destroy us for that which the unrighteous did?'5
آية رقم 174

(7:174) And thus do We expound the signs6 that they may turn
back (to the right path).7

(7:175) And recite to them [O Muhammad] the story of the man to whom We gave
Our signs8 and who turned away from them; then ultimately Satan
caught up with him and he was led astray.
آية رقم 177

(7:177) Evil is the example of the people who reject Our signs as false and
perpetrate wrong against their own selves.
آية رقم 181

(7:181) And of those whom We have created there is a party who guide men
through the truth and act justly according to it.
آية رقم 182

(7:182) As for those who reject Our signs as false, We shall lead them, step
by step, to their ruin without their even perceiving it.
آية رقم 183

(7:183) And (for this purpose) I will grant them respite. My design is incontrovertible.

(7:187) They ask you concerning the Hour, when will its coming be? Say: 'The
knowledge of it is with my Lord alone: none but He will disclose it at its time.
That will weigh heavily on the heavens and the earth; and it shall not come
to you other than all of a sudden.' They ask you - as if you are eagerly inquisitive
about it - concerning it. Say to them: 'The knowledge of it is with none except
Allah. But most people are unaware of this reality.'

(7:190) But when He vouchsafes them a healthy child, they attribute to Him
partners regarding what Allah had bestowed upon them. Subliminally exalted is
Allah above that which they associate with Him.6
آية رقم 191

(7:191) Do they associate (with Allah in His divinity) those who can create
nothing; rather, they are themselves created?

(7:201) If the God-fearing are instigated by any suggestion of Satan, they
instantly become alert, whereafter they clearly perceive the right way.
آية رقم 202

(7:202) As for their brethren [the Satans], they draw them deeper into error
and do not relax in their efforts.0

(7:203) [O Prophet!] When you do not produce before them any miracle, they
say: 'Why do you not choose for yourself a miracle?'1 Say to them:
'I follow only what is revealed to me by my Lord. This is nothing but a means
of insight into the truth, and guidance and mercy from your Lord to the people
who believe.2
آية رقم 204

(7:204) So when the Qur'an is recited, listen carefully to it, and keep silent
so that you may, be shown mercy.'3

(7:205) And remember [O Prophet] your Lord in your mind, with humility and
fear, and without raising your voice; remember Him in the morning and evening,
and do not become of those who are negligent.4

(7:206) [The angels] who are near to Your Lord, never turn away from His
service out of arrogance;5 they rather glorify Him6
and prostrate themselves before Him.7
