Introduction
Al-Aʿrāf (الأعراف), “The Heights,” is the seventh surah of the Quran and contains 206 verses. It is generally classified as Meccan and is traditionally situated in the period before the Hijra, at a time when Muḥammad’s preaching in Mecca was encountering increasing opposition and the Quranic message placed particular emphasis on accountability before GOD, the continuity of revelation, and the fate of communities that either receive or reject prophetic warning. The surah takes its name from al-aʿrāf, the “Heights” mentioned in verses 46–49, a place within the eschatological scene situated between Paradise and the Fire. From a literary and theological perspective, the surah brings together some of the most extensive narrative cycles of the Meccan revelation: the account of Adam and Iblīs, the missions of Noah, Hūd, Ṣāliḥ, Lot, and Shuʿayb, and above all the extended narrative of Moses, Pharaoh, and the Children of Israel. Through these accounts, the text presents sacred history as a succession of calls to faithfulness toward GOD, followed by acceptance, resistance, repentance, or judgment. Themes such as covenant, idolatry, mercy, justice, revelation, and the Day of Judgment run throughout the surah. In this sense, Al-Aʿrāf also stands within a broader Abrahamic horizon, revisiting figures and motifs known from Jewish and Christian traditions and reframing them within the Quranic proclamation of the oneness, sovereignty, and guidance of GOD.

Qāla anā khayrun minhu, khalaqtanī min nārin wa-khalaqtahu min ṭīn. | 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.” |

So go out; indeed, you are among the abased.” |
| 7:14 | قَالَ أَنظِرْنِي إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ | Qāla anẓirnī ilā yawmi yubʿathūn. | He said, “Grant me respite until the Day they are raised.” |
| 7:15 | قَالَ إِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنظَرِينَ | Qāla innaka mina al-munẓarīn. | He said, “Indeed, you are among those granted respite.” |
| 7:16 | قَالَ فَبِمَا أَغْوَيْتَنِي لَأَقْعُدَنَّ لَهُمْ صِرَاطَكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ | Qāla fa-bi-mā aghwaytanī la-aqʿudanna lahum ṣirāṭaka al-mustaqīm. | He said, “Because You have caused me to stray, I will surely sit in wait for them on Your straight path.” |
| 7:17 | ثُمَّ لَآتِيَنَّهُم مِّن بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ وَعَنْ أَيْمَانِهِمْ وَعَن شَمَائِلِهِمْ ۖ وَلَا تَجِدُ أَكْثَرَهُمْ شَاكِرِينَ | Thumma la-ātiyannahum min bayni aydīhim wa-min khalfihim wa-ʿan aymānihim wa-ʿan shamāʾilihim, wa-lā tajidu aktharahum shākirīn. | Then I will surely come upon them from before them and from behind them, from their right and from their left, and You will not find most of them grateful. |
| 7:18 | قَالَ اخْرُجْ مِنْهَا مَذْءُومًا مَّدْحُورًا ۖ لَّمَن تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ | Qāla ukhruj minhā madhʾūman madḥūran; la-man tabiʿaka minhum la-amlaʾanna Jahannama minkum ajmaʿīn. | He said, “Go out from it, despised and banished. Whoever of them follows you—I will surely fill Hell with all of you together.” |
| 7:19 | وَيَا آدَمُ اسْكُنْ أَنتَ وَزَوْجُكَ الْجَنَّةَ فَكُلَا مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هَٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ | Wa-yā Ādamu uskun anta wa-zawjuka al-jannata fa-kulā min ḥaythu shiʾtumā wa-lā taqrabā hādhihi al-shajarata fa-takūnā mina al-ẓālimīn. | And, “O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in the Garden, and eat from wherever you both wish, but do not approach this tree, lest you become among the wrongdoers.” |
| 7:20 | فَوَسْوَسَ لَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ لِيُبْدِيَ لَهُمَا مَا وُورِيَ عَنْهُمَا مِن سَوْآتِهِمَا وَقَالَ مَا نَهَاكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنْ هَٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ إِلَّا أَن تَكُونَا مَلَكَيْنِ أَوْ تَكُونَا مِنَ الْخَالِدِينَ | Fa-waswasa lahumā al-shayṭānu li-yubdiya lahumā mā wūriya ʿanhumā min sawʾātihimā wa-qāla mā nahākumā rabbukumā ʿan hādhihi al-shajarati illā an takūnā malakayni aw takūnā mina al-khālidīn. | Then Satan whispered to them so as to reveal to them what had been concealed from them of their nakedness. He said, “Your Lord forbade you this tree only lest you become angels or become among the immortals.” |
| 7:21 | وَقَاسَمَهُمَا إِنِّي لَكُمَا لَمِنَ النَّاصِحِينَ | Wa-qāsamahumā innī lakumā la-mina al-nāṣiḥīn. | And he swore to them, “Indeed, I am to you both among the sincere advisers.” |
| 7:22 | فَدَلَّاهُمَا بِغُرُورٍ ۚ فَلَمَّا ذَاقَا الشَّجَرَةَ بَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْآتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ الْجَنَّةِ ۖ وَنَادَاهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا أَلَمْ أَنْهَكُمَا عَن تِلْكُمَا الشَّجَرَةِ وَأَقُل لَّكُمَا إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمَا عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ | Fa-dallāhumā bi-ghurūrin, fa-lammā dhāqā al-shajarata badat lahumā sawʾātuhumā wa-ṭafiqā yakhṣifāni ʿalayhimā min waraqi al-jannati, wa-nādāhumā rabbuhumā a-lam anhakumā ʿan tilkumā al-shajarati wa-aqul lakumā inna al-shayṭāna lakumā ʿaduwwun mubīn. | Thus he lured them down by deception. Then, when they tasted the tree, their nakedness became apparent to them, and they began fastening over themselves leaves of the Garden. Their Lord called to them, “Did I not forbid you that tree and tell you that Satan is to you both a clear enemy?” |
| 7:23 | قَالَا رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ | Qālā rabbanā ẓalamnā anfusanā wa-in lam taghfir lanā wa-tarḥamnā la-nakūnanna mina al-khāsirīn. | They said, “Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves. If You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers.” |
| 7:24 | قَالَ اهْبِطُوا بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۖ وَلَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمَتَاعٌ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ | Qāla ihbiṭū baʿḍukum li-baʿḍin ʿaduwwun, wa-lakum fī al-arḍi mustaqarrun wa-matāʿun ilā ḥīn. | He said, “Descend, some of you enemies to others. And for you on the earth is a dwelling place and enjoyment for a time.” |
| 7:25 | قَالَ فِيهَا تَحْيَوْنَ وَفِيهَا تَمُوتُونَ وَمِنْهَا تُخْرَجُونَ | Qāla fīhā taḥyawna wa-fīhā tamūtūna wa-minhā tukhrajūn. | He said, “Therein you will live, therein you will die, and from it you will be brought forth.” |

That is among the signs of GOD, so that they may remember. |
| 7:27 | يَا بَنِي آدَمَ لَا يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ كَمَا أَخْرَجَ أَبَوَيْكُم مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ يَنزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْآتِهِمَا ۗ إِنَّهُ يَرَاكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيلُهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا الشَّيَاطِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ | Yā banī Ādama lā yaftinannakumu al-shayṭānu kamā akhraja abawaykum mina al-jannati yanziʿu ʿanhumā libāsahumā li-yuriyahumā sawʾātihimā.

Indeed, he and his company see you from where you do not see them. We have made the devils allies of those who do not believe. |
| 7:28 | وَإِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً قَالُوا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهَا آبَاءَنَا وَاللَّهُ أَمَرَنَا بِهَا ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَأْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَاءِ ۖ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ | Wa-idhā faʿalū fāḥishatan qālū wajadnā ʿalayhā ābāʾanā wa-Allāhu amaranā bihā.

A-taqūlūna ʿalā Allāhi mā lā taʿlamūn? | When they commit an indecent act, they say, “We found our fathers doing this, and GOD commanded us to do it.” Say, “Indeed, GOD does not command indecency.

| 7:29 | قُلْ أَمَرَ رَبِّي بِالْقِسْطِ ۖ وَأَقِيمُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَادْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ ۚ كَمَا بَدَأَكُمْ تَعُودُونَ | Qul amara rabbī bil-qisṭi, wa-aqīmū wujūhakum ʿinda kulli masjidin wa-udʿūhu mukhliṣīna lahu al-dīna.

As He originated you, so you shall return.” |
| 7:30 | فَرِيقًا هَدَىٰ وَفَرِيقًا حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الضَّلَالَةُ ۗ إِنَّهُمُ اتَّخَذُوا الشَّيَاطِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ | Farīqan hadā wa-farīqan ḥaqqa ʿalayhimu al-ḍalālatu. Innahumu ittakhadhū al-shayāṭīna awliyāʾa min dūni Allāhi wa-yaḥsabūna annahum muhtadūn. | A group He guided, while upon another group error became deserved. Indeed, they took the devils as allies instead of GOD, yet they think that they are guided. |
| 7:31 | يَا بَنِي آدَمَ خُذُوا زِينَتَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا وَلَا تُسْرِفُوا ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ | Yā banī Ādama khudhū zīnatakum ʿinda kulli masjidin wa-kulū wa-shrabū wa-lā tusrifū. Innahu lā yuḥibbu al-musrifīn. | O children of Adam, wear your adornment at every place of prostration, and eat and drink, but do not be excessive. Indeed, He does not love those who exceed the bounds. |
| 7:32 | قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِ وَالطَّيِّبَاتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ ۚ قُلْ هِيَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا خَالِصَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ | Qul man ḥarrama zīnata Allāhi allatī akhraja li-ʿibādihi wa-al-ṭayyibāti mina al-rizqi? Qul hiya lilladhīna āmanū fī al-ḥayāti al-dunyā khāliṣatan yawma al-qiyāmati. Kadhālika nufaṣṣilu al-āyāti li-qawmin yaʿlamūn. | Say, “Who has forbidden the adornment of GOD which He has brought forth for His servants, and the good things of provision?” Say, “They are for those who believe in the life of this world, and exclusively theirs on the Day of Resurrection.” Thus We set out the signs in detail for a people who know. |
| 7:33 | قُلْ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّيَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَالْإِثْمَ وَالْبَغْيَ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَأَن تُشْرِكُوا بِاللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِ سُلْطَانًا وَأَن تَقُولُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ | Qul innamā ḥarrama rabbī al-fawāḥisha mā ẓahara minhā wa-mā baṭana wa-al-ithma wa-al-baghya bi-ghayri al-ḥaqqi wa-an tushrikū bi-Allāhi mā lam yunazzil bihi sulṭānan wa-an taqūlū ʿalā Allāhi mā lā taʿlamūn. | Say, “My Lord has forbidden only indecent acts, whether open or hidden, sin, aggression without right, associating with GOD that for which He has sent down no authority, and saying concerning GOD what you do not know.” |
| 7:34 | وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ ۖ فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ | Wa-li-kulli ummatin ajalun, fa-idhā jāʾa ajaluhum lā yastaʾkhirūna sāʿatan wa-lā yastaqdimūn. | For every community there is an appointed term.

| 7:35 | يَا بَنِي آدَمَ إِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِي فَمَنِ اتَّقَىٰ وَأَصْلَحَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ | Yā banī Ādama immā yaʾtiyannakum rusulun minkum yaquṣṣūna ʿalaykum āyātī, fa-mani ittaqā wa-aṣlaḥa fa-lā khawfun ʿalayhim wa-lā hum yaḥzanūn. | O children of Adam, whenever messengers from among you come to you recounting My signs, whoever is reverent and acts rightly shall have no fear upon them, nor shall they grieve. |
| 7:36 | وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا عَنْهَا أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ | Wa-alladhīna kadhdhabū bi-āyātinā wa-stakbarū ʿanhā ulāʾika aṣḥābu al-nāri hum fīhā khālidūn. | But those who deny Our signs and act arrogantly toward them are the inhabitants of the Fire; they shall remain therein forever. |
| 7:37 | فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِآيَاتِهِ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ يَنَالُهُمْ نَصِيبُهُم مِّنَ الْكِتَابِ ۖ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا جَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُنَا يَتَوَفَّوْنَهُمْ قَالُوا أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ ۖ قَالُوا ضَلُّوا عَنَّا وَشَهِدُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كَافِرِينَ | Fa-man aẓlamu mimmani iftarā ʿalā Allāhi kadhiban aw kadhdhaba bi-āyātihi? Ulāʾika yanāluhum naṣībuhum mina al-kitābi, ḥattā idhā jāʾathum rusulunā yatawaffawnahum qālū ayna mā kuntum tadʿūna min dūni Allāhi? Qālū ḍallū ʿannā wa-shahidū ʿalā anfusihim annahum kānū kāfirīn. | Who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against GOD or denies His signs?

Qāla li-kullin ḍiʿfun wa-lākin lā taʿlamūn. | He will say, “Enter the Fire among communities of jinn and humans that passed away before you.” Whenever a community enters, it will curse its counterpart, until, when they have all gathered therein, the later ones will say of the earlier ones, “Our Lord, these led us astray, so give them a double punishment in the Fire.” He will say, “For each there is a double portion, but you do not know.” |
| 7:39 | وَقَالَتْ أُولَاهُمْ لِأُخْرَاهُمْ فَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍ فَذُوقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْسِبُونَ | Wa-qālat ūlāhum li-ukhrāhum fa-mā kāna lakum ʿalaynā min faḍlin fa-dhūqū al-ʿadhāba bi-mā kuntum taksibūn. | And the earlier ones will say to the later ones, “You had no advantage over us, so taste the punishment for what you used to earn.” |

| 7:72 | فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَقَطَعْنَا دَابِرَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا ۖ وَمَا كَانُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ | Fa-anjaynāhu wa-alladhīna maʿahu bi-raḥmatin minnā wa-qaṭaʿnā dābira alladhīna kadhdhabū bi-āyātinā wa-mā kānū muʾminīn. | So We saved him and those with him by mercy from Us, and We cut off the last remnant of those who denied Our signs.

He said, “O my people, worship GOD; you have no god other than Him. A clear proof has come to you from your Lord.

That is better for you, if you are believers.” |
| 7:86 | وَلَا تَقْعُدُوا بِكُلِّ صِرَاطٍ تُوعِدُونَ وَتَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِهِ وَتَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا ۚ وَاذْكُرُوا إِذْ كُنتُمْ قَلِيلًا فَكَثَّرَكُمْ ۖ وَانظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِينَ | Wa-lā taqʿudū bi-kulli ṣirāṭin tūʿidūna wa-taṣuddūna ʿan sabīli Allāhi man āmana bihi wa-tabghūnahā ʿiwajan.

Our Lord, judge between us and our people in truth, for You are the best of those who judge. |
| 7:90 | وَقَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن قَوْمِهِ لَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتُمْ شُعَيْبًا إِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّخَاسِرُونَ | Wa-qāla al-malaʾu alladhīna kafarū min qawmihi laʾini ittabaʿtum Shuʿayban innakum idhan la-khāsirūn. | The leaders among his people who disbelieved said, “If you follow Shuʿayb, then you will surely be among the losers.” |

Even if they see every sign, they will not believe in it; if they see the path of right guidance, they will not take it as a way, but if they see the path of error, they will take it as a way. That is because they denied Our signs and remained heedless of them. |
| 7:147 | وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَلِقَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ ۚ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ | Wa-alladhīna kadhdhabū bi-āyātinā wa-liqāʾi al-ākhirati ḥabiṭat aʿmāluhum.

He said, “Son of my mother, the people considered me weak and nearly killed me. So do not let the enemies rejoice over me, and do not place me among the wrongdoing people.” |
| 7:151 | قَالَ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِأَخِي وَأَدْخِلْنَا فِي رَحْمَتِكَ ۖ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ | Qāla rabbi ighfir lī wa-li-akhī wa-adkhilnā fī raḥmatika wa-anta arḥamu al-rāḥimīn. | He said, “My Lord, forgive me and my brother, and admit us into Your mercy, for You are the most merciful of those who show mercy.” |
| 7:152 | إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا الْعِجْلَ سَيَنَالُهُمْ غَضَبٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَذِلَّةٌ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُفْتَرِينَ | Inna alladhīna ittakhadhū al-ʿijla sa-yanāluhum ghaḍabun min rabbihim wa-dhillatun fī al-ḥayāti al-dunyā. Wa-kadhālika najzī al-muftarīn. | Indeed, those who took the calf for worship will be overtaken by wrath from their Lord and humiliation in the life of this world. Thus We recompense those who invent falsehood. |
| 7:153 | وَالَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ ثُمَّ تَابُوا مِن بَعْدِهَا وَآمَنُوا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِن بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ | Wa-alladhīna ʿamilū al-sayyiʾāti thumma tābū min baʿdihā wa-āmanū inna rabbaka min baʿdihā la-ghafūrun raḥīm. | But those who committed evil deeds and afterward repented and believed—indeed, after that your Lord is surely Forgiving and Merciful. |
| 7:154 | وَلَمَّا سَكَتَ عَن مُّوسَى الْغَضَبُ أَخَذَ الْأَلْوَاحَ ۖ وَفِي نُسْخَتِهَا هُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِرَبِّهِمْ يَرْهَبُونَ | Wa-lammā sakata ʿan Mūsā al-ghaḍabu akhadha al-alwāḥa, wa-fī nuskhati-hā hudan wa-raḥmatun lilladhīna hum li-rabbihim yarhabūn. | When Moses’ anger subsided, he took up the Tablets; and in their inscription were guidance and mercy for those who stand in awe of their Lord. |
| 7:155 | وَاخْتَارَ مُوسَىٰ قَوْمَهُ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا لِّمِيقَاتِنَا ۖ فَلَمَّا أَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ قَالَ رَبِّ لَوْ شِئْتَ أَهْلَكْتَهُم مِّن قَبْلُ وَإِيَّايَ ۖ أَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ السُّفَهَاءُ مِنَّا ۖ إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا فِتْنَتُكَ تُضِلُّ بِهَا مَن تَشَاءُ وَتَهْدِي مَن تَشَاءُ ۖ أَنتَ وَلِيُّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا ۖ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْغَافِرِينَ | Wa-khtāra Mūsā qawmahu sabʿīna rajulan li-mīqātinā.

Anta waliyyunā fa-ghfir lanā wa-rḥamnā wa-anta khayru al-ghāfirīn. | Moses chose seventy men from his people for Our appointed meeting. When the earthquake seized them, he said, “My Lord, had You willed, You could have destroyed them before, and me as well. Will You destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? This is only Your trial: by it You allow whom You will to stray and guide whom You will. You are our Protector; forgive us and have mercy upon us, for You are the best of those who forgive.” |
| 7:156 | وَاكْتُبْ لَنَا فِي هَٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ إِنَّا هُدْنَا إِلَيْكَ ۚ قَالَ عَذَابِي أُصِيبُ بِهِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ ۖ وَرَحْمَتِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ ۚ فَسَأَكْتُبُهَا لِلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِآيَاتِنَا يُؤْمِنُونَ | Wa-ktub lanā fī hādhihi al-dunyā ḥasanatan wa-fī al-ākhirati innā hudnā ilayka.

I shall therefore decree it for those who are reverent, give the prescribed charity, and believe in Our signs.” |

Those who believe in him, honor him, support him, and follow the light sent down with him—it is they who shall prosper. |

| 7:159 | وَمِن قَوْمِ مُوسَىٰ أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ | Wa-min qawmi Mūsā ummatun yahdūna bil-ḥaqqi wa-bihi yaʿdilūn. | Tra il popolo di Mosè vi è una comunità che guida secondo la verità e mediante essa esercita la giustizia. |

Rivelammo a Mosè, quando il suo popolo gli chiese acqua: “Colpisci la pietra con il tuo bastone.” Da essa sgorgarono dodici sorgenti, e ogni gruppo conobbe il proprio luogo dove bere. Facemmo sì che le nubi li coprissero con la loro ombra e facemmo scendere su di loro la manna e le quaglie: “Mangiate delle cose buone che vi abbiamo concesso.” Non fecero torto a Noi, ma facevano torto a se stessi. |
| 7:161 | وَإِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمُ اسْكُنُوا هَٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةَ وَكُلُوا مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ وَقُولُوا حِطَّةٌ وَادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا نَّغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطِيئَاتِكُمْ ۚ سَنَزِيدُ الْمُحْسِنِينَ | Wa-idh qīla lahumu uskunū hādhihi al-qaryata wa-kulū minhā ḥaythu shiʾtum wa-qūlū ḥiṭṭatun wa-udkhulū al-bāba sujjadan naghfir lakum khaṭīʾātikum. Sa-nazīdu al-muḥsinīn. | E quando fu detto loro: “Abitate questa città e mangiate di ciò che vi si trova ovunque vogliate; dite: ‘Perdono’, ed entrate dalla porta prostrandovi. Perdoneremo i vostri peccati e accresceremo la ricompensa di coloro che fanno il bene.” |
| 7:162 | فَبَدَّلَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْهُمْ قَوْلًا غَيْرَ الَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمْ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِجْزًا مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَظْلِمُونَ | Fa-baddala alladhīna ẓalamū minhum qawlan ghayra alladhī qīla lahum fa-arsalnā ʿalayhim rijzan mina al-samāʾi bi-mā kānū yaẓlimūn. | Ma gli ingiusti tra loro sostituirono ciò che era stato detto loro con parole diverse; allora mandammo su di loro un castigo dal cielo per l’ingiustizia che commettevano. |
| 7:163 | وَاسْأَلْهُمْ عَنِ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ حَاضِرَةَ الْبَحْرِ إِذْ يَعْدُونَ فِي السَّبْتِ إِذْ تَأْتِيهِمْ حِيتَانُهُمْ يَوْمَ سَبْتِهِمْ شُرَّعًا وَيَوْمَ لَا يَسْبِتُونَ ۙ لَا تَأْتِيهِمْ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَبْلُوهُم بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْسُقُونَ | Wa-sʾalhum ʿani al-qaryati allatī kānat ḥāḍirata al-baḥri idh yaʿdūna fī al-sabti idh taʾtīhim ḥītānuhum yawma sabtihim shurraʿan wa-yawma lā yasbitūna lā taʾtīhim. Kadhālika nablūhum bi-mā kānū yafsuqūn. | E interrogali riguardo alla città che si trovava presso il mare, quando trasgredivano riguardo al sabato: nel giorno del loro sabato i pesci venivano a loro in superficie, mentre nei giorni in cui non osservavano il sabato non venivano. Così li mettevamo alla prova a causa della loro disobbedienza. |
| 7:164 | وَإِذْ قَالَتْ أُمَّةٌ مِّنْهُمْ لِمَ تَعِظُونَ قَوْمًا اللَّهُ مُهْلِكُهُمْ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا ۖ قَالُوا مَعْذِرَةً إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ | Wa-idh qālat ummatun minhum lima taʿiẓūna qawman Allāhu muhlikuhum aw muʿadhdhibuhum ʿadhāban shadīdan? Qālū maʿdhiratan ilā rabbikum wa-laʿallahum yattaqūn. | E quando un gruppo tra loro disse: “Perché ammonite un popolo che GOD distruggerà o punirà con un severo castigo?” Essi risposero: “Per avere una giustificazione davanti al vostro Signore, e affinché possano avere timore reverente.” |
| 7:165 | فَلَمَّا نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ أَنجَيْنَا الَّذِينَ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ السُّوءِ وَأَخَذْنَا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا بِعَذَابٍ بَئِيسٍ بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْسُقُونَ | Fa-lammā nasū mā dhukkirū bihi anjaynā alladhīna yanhawna ʿani al-sūʾi wa-akhadhnā alladhīna ẓalamū bi-ʿadhābin baʾīsin bi-mā kānū yafsuqūn. | Quando dimenticarono ciò mediante cui erano stati ammoniti, salvammo coloro che proibivano il male e colpimmo gli ingiusti con un terribile castigo per la loro disobbedienza. |
| 7:166 | فَلَمَّا عَتَوْا عَن مَّا نُهُوا عَنْهُ قُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُوا قِرَدَةً خَاسِئِينَ | Fa-lammā ʿataw ʿan mā nuhū ʿanhu qulnā lahum kūnū qiradatan khāsiʾīn. | Quando persistettero con arroganza in ciò che era stato loro proibito, dicemmo loro: “Siate scimmie disprezzate.” |
| 7:167 | وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكَ لَيَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَن يَسُومُهُمْ سُوءَ الْعَذَابِ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَسَرِيعُ الْعِقَابِ ۖ وَإِنَّهُ لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ | Wa-idh taʾadhdhana rabbuka la-yabʿathanna ʿalayhim ilā yawmi al-qiyāmati man yasūmuhum sūʾa al-ʿadhābi. Inna rabbaka la-sarīʿu al-ʿiqābi wa-innahu la-ghafūrun raḥīm. | E quando il tuo Signore proclamò che avrebbe certamente mandato contro di loro, fino al Giorno della Risurrezione, chi avrebbe inflitto loro un duro castigo. In verità, il tuo Signore è rapido nel castigo, ed Egli è certamente Perdonatore e Misericordioso. |
| 7:168 | وَقَطَّعْنَاهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أُمَمًا ۖ مِّنْهُمُ الصَّالِحُونَ وَمِنْهُمْ دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَبَلَوْنَاهُم بِالْحَسَنَاتِ وَالسَّيِّئَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ | Wa-qaṭṭaʿnāhum fī al-arḍi umaman. Minhum al-ṣāliḥūna wa-minhum dūna dhālika. Wa-balawnāhum bil-ḥasanāti wa-al-sayyiʾāti laʿallahum yarjiʿūn. | Li disperdemmo sulla terra in diverse comunità. Tra loro vi sono i giusti e tra loro ve ne sono altri che non lo sono. Li mettemmo alla prova mediante prosperità e avversità, affinché potessero ritornare. |
| 7:169 | فَخَلَفَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ وَرِثُوا الْكِتَابَ يَأْخُذُونَ عَرَضَ هَٰذَا الْأَدْنَىٰ وَيَقُولُونَ سَيُغْفَرُ لَنَا وَإِن يَأْتِهِمْ عَرَضٌ مِّثْلُهُ يَأْخُذُوهُ ۚ أَلَمْ يُؤْخَذْ عَلَيْهِم مِّيثَاقُ الْكِتَابِ أَن لَّا يَقُولُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْحَقَّ وَدَرَسُوا مَا فِيهِ ۗ وَالدَّارُ الْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ | Fa-khalafa min baʿdihim khalfun warithū al-kitāba yaʾkhudhūna ʿaraḍa hādhā al-adnā wa-yaqūlūna sa-yughfaru lanā, wa-in yaʾtihim ʿaraḍun mithluhu yaʾkhudhūhu.

A-fa-lā taʿqilūn? | Dopo di loro vennero successori che ereditarono il Libro, ma prendevano i beni effimeri di questa vita inferiore dicendo: “Saremo perdonati.” E se giungeva loro un altro bene simile, lo prendevano ancora. Non era forse stato preso da loro il patto del Libro, secondo cui non avrebbero detto riguardo a GOD altro che la verità? Eppure avevano studiato ciò che esso contiene. La dimora futura è migliore per coloro che hanno timore reverente. Non comprenderete dunque? |
| 7:170 | وَالَّذِينَ يُمَسِّكُونَ بِالْكِتَابِ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ إِنَّا لَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُصْلِحِينَ | Wa-alladhīna yumassikūna bil-kitābi wa-aqāmū al-ṣalāta innā lā nuḍīʿu ajra al-muṣliḥīn. | Quanto a coloro che si tengono saldamente al Libro e stabiliscono la preghiera, in verità Noi non lasciamo andare perduta la ricompensa di coloro che operano rettamente. |
| 7:171 | وَإِذْ نَتَقْنَا الْجَبَلَ فَوْقَهُمْ كَأَنَّهُ ظُلَّةٌ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُ وَاقِعٌ بِهِمْ خُذُوا مَا آتَيْنَاكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَاذْكُرُوا مَا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ | Wa-idh nataqnā al-jabala fawqahum ka-annahu ẓullatun wa-ẓannū annahu wāqiʿun bihim. Khudhū mā ātaynākum bi-quwwatin wa-udhkurū mā fīhi laʿallakum tattaqūn. | E quando elevammo il monte sopra di loro come se fosse una copertura, ed essi pensarono che stesse per cadere su di loro: “Afferrate con fermezza ciò che vi abbiamo dato e ricordate ciò che esso contiene, affinché possiate avere timore reverente.” |
| 7:172 | وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِن بَنِي آدَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ ۛ شَهِدْنَا ۛ أَن تَقُولُوا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَٰذَا غَافِلِينَ | Wa-idh akhadha rabbuka min banī Ādama min ẓuhūrihim dhurriyyatahum wa-ashhadahum ʿalā anfusihim a-lastu bi-rabbikum? Qālū balā, shahidnā, an taqūlū yawma al-qiyāmati innā kunnā ʿan hādhā ghāfilīn. | E quando il tuo Signore trasse dai figli di Adamo, dai loro lombi, la loro discendenza e li fece testimoniare riguardo a se stessi: “Non sono forse il vostro Signore?” Dissero: “Sì, lo attestiamo”, affinché nel Giorno della Risurrezione non diciate: “In verità, eravamo inconsapevoli di questo.” |
| 7:173 | أَوْ تَقُولُوا إِنَّمَا أَشْرَكَ آبَاؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا ذُرِّيَّةً مِّن بَعْدِهِمْ ۖ أَفَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ | Aw taqūlū innamā ashraka ābāʾunā min qablu wa-kunnā dhurriyyatan min baʿdihim. A-fa-tuhlikunā bi-mā faʿala al-mubṭilūn? | Oppure affinché non diciate: “Furono i nostri padri, prima di noi, ad associare altri a GOD, mentre noi eravamo soltanto una discendenza venuta dopo di loro. Ci distruggerai dunque per ciò che fecero coloro che seguivano la falsità?” |
| 7:174 | وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ | Wa-kadhālika nufaṣṣilu al-āyāti wa-laʿallahum yarjiʿūn. | Così esponiamo distintamente i segni, affinché possano ritornare. |
| 7:175 | وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ الَّذِي آتَيْنَاهُ آيَاتِنَا فَانسَلَخَ مِنْهَا فَأَتْبَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْغَاوِينَ | Wa-tlu ʿalayhim nabaʾa alladhī ātaynāhu āyātinā fa-nsalakha minhā fa-atbaʿahu al-shayṭānu fa-kāna mina al-ghāwīn. | E recita loro la storia di colui al quale avevamo dato i Nostri segni, ma che se ne spogliò; allora Satana lo inseguì ed egli divenne tra gli sviati. |
| 7:176 | وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنَاهُ بِهَا وَلَٰكِنَّهُ أَخْلَدَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ ۚ فَمَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ إِن تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْهِ يَلْهَثْ أَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ يَلْهَث ۚ ذَّٰلِكَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا ۚ فَاقْصُصِ الْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ | Wa-law shiʾnā la-rafʿnāhu bihā wa-lākinnahu akhlada ilā al-arḍi wa-ttabaʿa hawāhu.

Fa-qṣuṣi al-qaṣaṣa laʿallahum yatafakkarūn. | Se avessimo voluto, lo avremmo elevato mediante quei segni, ma egli rimase attaccato alla terra e seguì il proprio desiderio. La sua similitudine è come quella del cane: se lo incalzi, ansima; e se lo lasci, ansima ugualmente. Questa è la similitudine del popolo che ha smentito i Nostri segni. Narra dunque queste storie, affinché possano riflettere. |

| 7:179 | وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ ۖ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ لَّا يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ آذَانٌ لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ كَالْأَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْغَافِلُونَ | Wa-laqad dharaʾnā li-Jahannama kathīran mina al-jinni wa-al-insi. Lahum qulūbun lā yafqahūna bihā wa-lahum aʿyunun lā yubṣirūna bihā wa-lahum ādhānun lā yasmaʿūna bihā. Ulāʾika ka-al-anʿāmi bal hum aḍallu. Ulāʾika humu al-ghāfilūn. | We have certainly destined for Hell many of the jinn and humankind. 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; rather, they are even further astray. It is they who are heedless. |
| 7:180 | وَلِلَّهِ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَىٰ فَادْعُوهُ بِهَا ۖ وَذَرُوا الَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِي أَسْمَائِهِ ۚ سَيُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ | Wa-li-Allāhi al-asmāʾu al-ḥusnā fa-udʿūhu bihā, wa-dharū alladhīna yulḥidūna fī asmāʾihi. Sa-yujzawna mā kānū yaʿmalūn. | To GOD belong the most beautiful names, so call upon Him by them. Leave those who deviate concerning His names; they will be recompensed for what they used to do. |
| 7:181 | وَمِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ | Wa-mimman khalaqnā ummatun yahdūna bil-ḥaqqi wa-bihi yaʿdilūn. | Among those We have created is a community that guides by the truth and by it acts justly. |
| 7:182 | وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ | Wa-alladhīna kadhdhabū bi-āyātinā sa-nastadrijuhum min ḥaythu lā yaʿlamūn. | As for those who deny Our signs, We will gradually draw them on from where they do not know. |
| 7:183 | وَأُمْلِي لَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ كَيْدِي مَتِينٌ | Wa-umlī lahum. Inna kaydī matīn. | And I grant them respite. Indeed, My plan is firm. |
| 7:184 | أَوَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرُوا ۗ مَا بِصَاحِبِهِم مِّن جِنَّةٍ ۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ | A-wa-lam yatafakkarū? Mā bi-ṣāḥibihim min jinnatin. In huwa illā nadhīrun mubīn. | Have they not reflected? There is no madness in their companion. He is only a clear warner. |
| 7:185 | أَوَلَمْ يَنظُرُوا فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِن شَيْءٍ وَأَنْ عَسَىٰ أَن يَكُونَ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ أَجَلُهُمْ ۖ فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ | A-wa-lam yanẓurū fī malakūti al-samāwāti wa-al-arḍi wa-mā khalaqa Allāhu min shayʾin wa-an ʿasā an yakūna qad iqtaraba ajaluhum? Fa-bi-ayyi ḥadīthin baʿdahu yuʾminūn? | Have they not considered the dominion of the heavens and the earth and everything GOD has created, and that perhaps their appointed time has drawn near? In what message after this, then, will they believe? |
| 7:186 | مَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ ۚ وَيَذَرُهُمْ فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ | Man yuḍlili Allāhu fa-lā hādiya lahu, wa-yadharuhum fī ṭughyānihim yaʿmahūn. | Whomever GOD allows to stray has no guide, and He leaves them wandering blindly in their rebellion. |
| 7:187 | يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا ۖ قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّي ۖ لَا يُجَلِّيهَا لِوَقْتِهَا إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ ثَقُلَتْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ لَا تَأْتِيكُمْ إِلَّا بَغْتَةً ۗ يَسْأَلُونَكَ كَأَنَّكَ حَفِيٌّ عَنْهَا ۖ قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ اللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ | Yasʾalūnaka ʿani al-sāʿati ayyāna mursāhā. Qul innamā ʿilmuhā ʿinda rabbī, lā yujallīhā li-waqtihā illā huwa. Thaqulat fī al-samāwāti wa-al-arḍi, lā taʾtīkum illā baghtatan. Yasʾalūnaka ka-annaka ḥafiyyun ʿanhā. Qul innamā ʿilmuhā ʿinda Allāhi wa-lākinna akthara al-nāsi lā yaʿlamūn. | They ask you about the Hour: “When will it come to pass?” Say, “Knowledge of it is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him. It weighs heavily upon the heavens and the earth. It will come upon you only suddenly.” They ask you as though you were thoroughly informed about it. Say, “Knowledge of it is only with GOD, but most people do not know.” |
| 7:188 | قُل لَّا أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي نَفْعًا وَلَا ضَرًّا إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ وَلَوْ كُنتُ أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ لَاسْتَكْثَرْتُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ وَمَا مَسَّنِيَ السُّوءُ ۚ إِنْ أَنَا إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ وَبَشِيرٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ | Qul lā amliku li-nafsī nafʿan wa-lā ḍarran illā mā shāʾa Allāhu. Wa-law kuntu aʿlamu al-ghayba la-stakthartu mina al-khayri wa-mā massaniya al-sūʾu. In anā illā nadhīrun wa-bashīrun li-qawmin yuʾminūn. | Say, “I possess no power to bring benefit or harm to myself except as GOD wills. Had I known the unseen, I would have secured abundant good, and no harm would have touched me. I am only a warner and a bearer of good news for a people who believe.” |
| 7:189 | هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا لِيَسْكُنَ إِلَيْهَا ۖ فَلَمَّا تَغَشَّاهَا حَمَلَتْ حَمْلًا خَفِيفًا فَمَرَّتْ بِهِ ۖ فَلَمَّا أَثْقَلَت دَّعَوَا اللَّهَ رَبَّهُمَا لَئِنْ آتَيْتَنَا صَالِحًا لَّنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ | Huwa alladhī khalaqakum min nafsin wāḥidatin wa-jaʿala minhā zawjahā li-yaskuna ilayhā. Fa-lammā taghashshāhā ḥamalat ḥamlan khafīfan fa-marrat bihi. Fa-lammā athqalat daʿawā Allāha rabbahumā la-in ātaytanā ṣāliḥan la-nakūnanna mina al-shākirīn. | 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 came together with her, she carried a light burden and continued with it. Then, when it grew heavy, they both called upon GOD, their Lord: “If You grant us a sound child, we will surely be among the grateful.” |
| 7:190 | فَلَمَّا آتَاهُمَا صَالِحًا جَعَلَا لَهُ شُرَكَاءَ فِيمَا آتَاهُمَا ۚ فَتَعَالَى اللَّهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ | Fa-lammā ātāhumā ṣāliḥan jaʿalā lahu shurakāʾa fīmā ātāhumā. Fa-taʿālā Allāhu ʿammā yushrikūn. | But when He granted them a sound child, they attributed partners to Him concerning what He had given them. Exalted is GOD above what they associate with Him. |
| 7:191 | أَيُشْرِكُونَ مَا لَا يَخْلُقُ شَيْئًا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ | A-yushrikūna mā lā yakhluqu shayʾan wa-hum yukhlaqūn? | Do they associate with GOD those who create nothing, while they themselves are created? |
| 7:192 | وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ لَهُمْ نَصْرًا وَلَا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَنصُرُونَ | Wa-lā yastaṭīʿūna lahum naṣran wa-lā anfusahum yanṣurūn. | They are unable to give them any help, nor can they help themselves. |
| 7:193 | وَإِن تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدَىٰ لَا يَتَّبِعُوكُمْ ۚ سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ أَدَعَوْتُمُوهُمْ أَمْ أَنتُمْ صَامِتُونَ | Wa-in tadʿūhum ilā al-hudā lā yattabiʿūkum. Sawāʾun ʿalaykum a-daʿawtumūhum am antum ṣāmitūn. | If you call them to guidance, they will not follow you. It is the same for you whether you call them or remain silent. |
| 7:194 | إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ عِبَادٌ أَمْثَالُكُمْ ۖ فَادْعُوهُمْ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ | Inna alladhīna tadʿūna min dūni Allāhi ʿibādun amthālukum. Fa-udʿūhum fa-l-yastajībū lakum in kuntum ṣādiqīn. | Indeed, those whom you call upon besides GOD are servants like yourselves. So call upon them and let them answer you, if you are truthful. |
| 7:195 | أَلَهُمْ أَرْجُلٌ يَمْشُونَ بِهَا أَمْ لَهُمْ أَيْدٍ يَبْطِشُونَ بِهَا أَمْ لَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا أَمْ لَهُمْ آذَانٌ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا ۗ قُلِ ادْعُوا شُرَكَاءَكُمْ ثُمَّ كِيدُونِ فَلَا تُنظِرُونِ | A-lahum arjulun yamshūna bihā am lahum aydin yabṭishūna bihā am lahum aʿyunun yubṣirūna bihā am lahum ādhānun yasmaʿūna bihā? Quli udʿū shurakāʾakum thumma kīdūni fa-lā tunẓirūn. | 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 upon your partners, then scheme against me and grant me no respite.” |
| 7:196 | إِنَّ وَلِيِّيَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْكِتَابَ ۖ وَهُوَ يَتَوَلَّى الصَّالِحِينَ | Inna waliyyiya Allāhu alladhī nazzala al-kitāba wa-huwa yatawallā al-ṣāliḥīn. | Indeed, my Protector is GOD, who sent down the Book, and He protects the righteous. |
| 7:197 | وَالَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَكُمْ وَلَا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَنصُرُونَ | Wa-alladhīna tadʿūna min dūnihi lā yastaṭīʿūna naṣrakum wa-lā anfusahum yanṣurūn. | Those whom you call upon besides Him are unable to help you, nor can they help themselves. |
| 7:198 | وَإِن تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدَىٰ لَا يَسْمَعُوا ۖ وَتَرَاهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ | Wa-in tadʿūhum ilā al-hudā lā yasmaʿū. Wa-tarāhum yanẓurūna ilayka wa-hum lā yubṣirūn. | If you call them to guidance, they do not hear. You see them looking toward you, yet they do not see. |
| 7:199 | خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجَاهِلِينَ | Khudhi al-ʿafwa wa-mur bil-ʿurfi wa-aʿriḍ ʿani al-jāhilīn. | Hold to forgiveness, command what is right, and turn away from the ignorant. |
| 7:200 | وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ | Wa-immā yanzaghannaka mina al-shayṭāni nazghun fa-staʿidh bi-Allāhi. Innahu samīʿun ʿalīm. | If an impulse from Satan should provoke you, seek refuge in GOD. Indeed, He is Hearing and Knowing. |
| 7:201 | إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا إِذَا مَسَّهُمْ طَائِفٌ مِّنَ الشَّيْطَانِ تَذَكَّرُوا فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْصِرُونَ | Inna alladhīna ittaqaw idhā massahum ṭāʾifun mina al-shayṭāni tadhakkarū fa-idhā hum mubṣirūn. | Indeed, when those who are reverent are touched by an impulse from Satan, they remember, and suddenly they see clearly. |
| 7:202 | وَإِخْوَانُهُمْ يَمُدُّونَهُمْ فِي الْغَيِّ ثُمَّ لَا يُقْصِرُونَ | Wa-ikhwānuhum yamuddūnahum fī al-ghayyi thumma lā yuqṣirūn. | But their brethren draw them further into error and then do not hold back. |
| 7:203 | وَإِذَا لَمْ تَأْتِهِم بِآيَةٍ قَالُوا لَوْلَا اجْتَبَيْتَهَا ۚ قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَتَّبِعُ مَا يُوحَىٰ إِلَيَّ مِن رَّبِّي ۚ هَٰذَا بَصَائِرُ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ | Wa-idhā lam taʾtihim bi-āyatin qālū lawlā ijtabaytahā. Qul innamā attabiʿu mā yūḥā ilayya min rabbī. Hādhā baṣāʾiru min rabbikum wa-hudan wa-raḥmatun li-qawmin yuʾminūn. | When you do not bring them a sign, they say, “Why did you not devise one?” Say, “I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord. These are clear insights from your Lord, and guidance and mercy for a people who believe.” |
| 7:204 | وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ | Wa-idhā quriʾa al-Qurʾānu fa-stamiʿū lahu wa-anṣitū laʿallakum turḥamūn. | When the Quran is recited, listen to it and remain attentive, so that you may receive mercy. |
| 7:205 | وَاذْكُر رَّبَّكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ تَضَرُّعًا وَخِيفَةً وَدُونَ الْجَهْرِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْآصَالِ وَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ الْغَافِلِينَ | Wa-udhkur rabbaka fī nafsika taḍarruʿan wa-khīfatan wa-dūna al-jahri mina al-qawli bil-ghuduwwi wa-al-āṣāli wa-lā takun mina al-ghāfilīn. | Remember your Lord within yourself, with humility and reverence, and without loudness of speech, in the mornings and evenings; and do not be among the heedless. |
| 7:206 | إِنَّ الَّذِينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِ وَيُسَبِّحُونَهُ وَلَهُ يَسْجُدُونَ | Inna alladhīna ʿinda rabbika lā yastakbirūna ʿan ʿibādatihi wa-yusabbiḥūnahu wa-lahu yasjudūn. | Indeed, those who are near your Lord are not too proud to worship Him. They glorify Him, and before Him they prostrate. |
