Verse 7:2

كِتٰبٌ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْكَ فَلَا یَكُنْ فِیْ صَدْرِكَ حَرَجٌ مِّنْهُ لِتُنْذِرَ بِهٖ وَذِكْرٰی لِلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟

Kitaabun ʹuñzila ʹilayka falaa yakuñ fee ṣadrika ḥarajum min-hu lituñẓira bihee waẓikraa lil-Muʹmineen.

˹This is˺ a Book sent down to you ˹O Prophet˺—do not let anxiety into your heart regarding it—so with it you may warn ˹the disbelievers˺, and as a reminder to the believers.

Verse 7:3

اِتَّبِعُوْا مَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْكُمْ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اَوْلِیَآءَ ؕ قَلِیْلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۟

ʹIttabiʻoo maaa ʹuñzila ʹilaykum mir rabbikum wa-laa tattabiʻoo miñ dooniheee ʹawliyaaaʹ. Q̣aleelam maa taẓakkaroon.

Follow what has been sent down to you from your Lord, and do not take others as guardians besides Him. How seldom are you mindful!

Verse 7:4

وَكَمْ مِّنْ قَرْیَةٍ اَهْلَكْنٰهَا فَجَآءَهَا بَاْسُنَا بَیَاتًا اَوْ هُمْ قَآىِٕلُوْنَ ۟

Wa-kam miñ q̣aryatin ʹahlaknaahaa fajaaaʹahaa baʹsunaa bayaatan ʹaw hum q̣aaaʹiloon?

˹Imagine˺ how many societies We have destroyed! Our torment took them by surprise ˹while sleeping˺ at night or midday.

Verse 7:5

فَمَا كَانَ دَعْوٰىهُمْ اِذْ جَآءَهُمْ بَاْسُنَاۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّا كُنَّا ظٰلِمِیْنَ ۟

Famaa kaana daʻwaahum ʹiẓ jaaaʹahum̃ baʹsunaaa ʹillaaa ʹañ q̣aalooo ʹinnaa kunnaa z̤̣aalimeen.

Their only cry—when overwhelmed by Our torment—was, “We have indeed been wrongdoers.”

Verse 7:6

فَلَنَسْـَٔلَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اُرْسِلَ اِلَیْهِمْ وَلَنَسْـَٔلَنَّ الْمُرْسَلِیْنَ ۟ۙ

falanasʹalannal laẓeena ursila ʹilayhim wa-lanasʹalannal mursaleen.

We will surely question those who received messengers and We will question the messengers ˹themselves˺.

Verse 7:7

فَلَنَقُصَّنَّ عَلَیْهِمْ بِعِلْمٍ وَّمَا كُنَّا غَآىِٕبِیْنَ ۟

Falanaq̣uṣṣanna ʻalayhim̃ biʻilmiñw wamaa kunnaa g̣aaaʹibeen.

Then We will give them a full account with sure knowledge—for We were never absent.

Verse 7:8

وَالْوَزْنُ یَوْمَىِٕذِ لْحَقُّ ۚ فَمَنْ ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِیْنُهٗ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ ۟

Walwaznu Yawmaʹiẓinil ḥaq̣q̣. Famañ s̤aq̣ulat mawaazeenuhoo faʹulaaaʹika humul Mufliḥoon.

The weighing on that Day will be just. As for those whose scale will be heavy ˹with good deeds˺, ˹only˺ they will be successful.

Verse 7:9

وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِیْنُهٗ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ خَسِرُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا یَظْلِمُوْنَ ۟

Wa-man khaffat mawaazeenuhoo faʹulaaaikal laẓeena khasirooo añfusahum̃ bimaa kaanoo biʹAayaatinaa yaz̤̣limoon.

But those whose scale is light, they have doomed themselves for wrongfully denying Our signs.

Verse 7:10

وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنّٰكُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِیْهَا مَعَایِشَ ؕ قَلِیْلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُوْنَ ۟۠

Wa-laq̣ad makkannaakum fil ʹarḍi wa-jaʻalnaa lakum feehaa maʻaayish: q̣aleelam maa tashkuroon!

We have indeed established you on earth and provided you with a means of livelihood. ˹Yet˺ you seldom give any thanks.

Verse 7:11

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنٰكُمْ ثُمَّ صَوَّرْنٰكُمْ ثُمَّ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ اسْجُدُوْا لِاٰدَمَ ۖۗ فَسَجَدُوْۤا اِلَّاۤ اِبْلِیْسَ ؕ لَمْ یَكُنْ مِّنَ السّٰجِدِیْنَ ۟

Wa-laq̣ad khalaq̣naakum s̤umma ṣawwarnaakum s̤umma q̣ulnaa lil-malaaaʹikatis judoo liʹAadama fasajadooo ʹillaaa ʹIblees; lam yakum minas saajideen.

Surely We created you, then shaped you, then said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam,” so they all did—but not Iblîs, who refused to prostrate with the others.

Verse 7:12

قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ اَلَّا تَسْجُدَ اِذْ اَمَرْتُكَ ؕ قَالَ اَنَا خَیْرٌ مِّنْهُ ۚ خَلَقْتَنِیْ مِنْ نَّارٍ وَّخَلَقْتَهٗ مِنْ طِیْنٍ ۟

Q̣aala maa- manaʻaka ʹallaa tasjuda ʹiẓ ʹamartuk? Q̣aala ʹana khayrum minh. Khalaq̣tanee miñ naariñw wakhalaq̣tahoo miñ ṭeen.

Allah asked, “What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?” He replied, “I am better than he is: You created me from fire and him from clay.”

Verse 7:13

قَالَ فَاهْبِطْ مِنْهَا فَمَا یَكُوْنُ لَكَ اَنْ تَتَكَبَّرَ فِیْهَا فَاخْرُجْ اِنَّكَ مِنَ الصّٰغِرِیْنَ ۟

Q̣aala fahbiṭ minhaa famaa yakoonu laka ʹañ tatakabbara feehaa fakhruj ʹinnaka minaṣ ṣaag̣ireen.

Allah said, “Then get down from Paradise! It is not for you to be arrogant here. So get out! You are truly one of the disgraced.”

Verse 7:14

قَالَ اَنْظِرْنِیْۤ اِلٰی یَوْمِ یُبْعَثُوْنَ ۟

Q̣aala ʹañz̤̣irneee ʹilaa yawmi yubʻas̤oon.

He appealed, “Then delay my end until the Day of their resurrection.”

Verse 7:15

قَالَ اِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنْظَرِیْنَ ۟

Q̣aala ʹinnaka minal muñz̤̣areen.

Allah said, “You are delayed ˹until the appointed Day˺.”

Verse 7:16

قَالَ فَبِمَاۤ اَغْوَیْتَنِیْ لَاَقْعُدَنَّ لَهُمْ صِرَاطَكَ الْمُسْتَقِیْمَ ۟ۙ

Q̣aala fabimaaa ʹag̣waytanee laʹaq̣ʻudanna lahum Ṣiraaṭakal Mustaq̣eem:

He said, “For leaving me to stray I will lie in ambush for them on Your Straight Path.

Verse 7:17

ثُمَّ لَاٰتِیَنَّهُمْ مِّنْ بَیْنِ اَیْدِیْهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ وَعَنْ اَیْمَانِهِمْ وَعَنْ شَمَآىِٕلِهِمْ ؕ وَلَا تَجِدُ اَكْثَرَهُمْ شٰكِرِیْنَ ۟

S̤umma laʹaatiyannahum mim bayni ʹaydeehim wa-min khalfihim wa-ʻan ʹaymaanihim wa-ʻañ shamaaaʹilihim: wa-laa tajidu ʹaks̤arahum shaakireen.

I will approach them from their front, their back, their right, their left, and then You will find most of them ungrateful.”

Verse 7:18

قَالَ اخْرُجْ مِنْهَا مَذْءُوْمًا مَّدْحُوْرًا ؕ لَمَنْ تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ لَاَمْلَـَٔنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنْكُمْ اَجْمَعِیْنَ ۟

Q̣aala khruj minhaa maẓʹoomam madḥooraa. Lamañ tabiʻaka minhum laʹamlaʹanna Jahannama miñkum ʹajmaʻeen.

Allah said, “Get out of Paradise! You are disgraced and rejected! I will certainly fill up Hell with you and your followers all together.”

Verse 7:19

وَیٰۤاٰدَمُ اسْكُنْ اَنْتَ وَزَوْجُكَ الْجَنَّةَ فَكُلَا مِنْ حَیْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُوْنَا مِنَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟

Wa-yaaaʹAadamus kun ʹañta wa-zawjukal jannata fakulaa min ḥays̤u shiʹtumaa wa-laa taq̣rabaa haaẓihish shajarata fatakoona minaz̤̣ z̤̣aalimeen.

˹Allah said,˺ “O Adam! Live with your wife in Paradise and eat from wherever you please, but do not approach this tree, or else you will be wrongdoers.”

Verse 7:20

فَوَسْوَسَ لَهُمَا الشَّیْطٰنُ لِیُبْدِیَ لَهُمَا مَا وٗرِیَ عَنْهُمَا مِنْ سَوْاٰتِهِمَا وَقَالَ مَا نَهٰىكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنْ هٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ تَكُوْنَا مَلَكَیْنِ اَوْ تَكُوْنَا مِنَ الْخٰلِدِیْنَ ۟

Fawaswasa lahumash Shayṭaanu liyubdiya lahumaa maa- wooriya ʻanhumaa miñ saw-ʹaatihimaa waq̣aala maa- nahaakumaa Rabbukumaa ʻan haaẓihish shajarati ʹillaaa ʹañ takoonaa malakayni ʹaw takoonaa minal khaalideen.

Then Satan tempted them in order to expose what was hidden of their nakedness. He said, “Your Lord has forbidden this tree to you only to prevent you from becoming angels or immortals.”

Verse 7:21

وَقَاسَمَهُمَاۤ اِنِّیْ لَكُمَا لَمِنَ النّٰصِحِیْنَ ۟ۙ

Wa-q̣aasamahumaaa ʹinnee lakumaa laminan naaṣiḥeen.

And he swore to them, “I am truly your sincere advisor.”

Verse 7:22

فَدَلّٰىهُمَا بِغُرُوْرٍ ۚ فَلَمَّا ذَاقَا الشَّجَرَةَ بَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْاٰتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا یَخْصِفٰنِ عَلَیْهِمَا مِنْ وَّرَقِ الْجَنَّةِ ؕ وَنَادٰىهُمَا رَبُّهُمَاۤ اَلَمْ اَنْهَكُمَا عَنْ تِلْكُمَا الشَّجَرَةِ وَاَقُلْ لَّكُمَاۤ اِنَّ الشَّیْطٰنَ لَكُمَا عَدُوٌّ مُّبِیْنٌ ۟

Fadal-laahumaa big̣uroor. Falammaa ẓaaq̣ash shajarata badat lahumaa saw-ʹaatuhumaa waṭafiq̣aa yakhṣifaani ʻalayhimaa miñw waraq̣il Jannah. Wa-naadaa-humaa Rabbuhumaaa ʹalam ʹanhakumaa ʻañ til-kumash shajarati wa-ʹaq̣ul lakumaaa ʹinnash Shayṭaana lakumaa ʻaduwwum mubeen?

So he brought about their fall through deception. And when they tasted of the tree, their nakedness was exposed to them, prompting them to cover themselves with leaves from Paradise. Then their Lord called out to them, “Did I not forbid you from that tree and ˹did I not˺ tell you that Satan is your sworn enemy?”

Verse 7:23

قَالَا رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَاۤ اَنْفُسَنَا ٚ وَاِنْ لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الْخٰسِرِیْنَ ۟

Q̣aalaa Rabbanaa z̤̣alamnaaa ʹañfusanaa: wa-ʹil lam tag̣fir lanaa wa-tarḥamnaa lanakoonanna minal Khaasireen.

They replied, “Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will certainly be losers.”

Verse 7:24

قَالَ اهْبِطُوْا بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۚ وَلَكُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَّمَتَاعٌ اِلٰی حِیْنٍ ۟

Q̣aalah biṭoo baʻḍukum libaʻḍin ʻaduww. Wa-lakum fil ʹarḍi mustaq̣arruñw wamataaʻun ʹilaa ḥeen.

Allah said, “Descend as enemies to each other. You will find in the earth a residence and provision for your appointed stay.”

Verse 7:25

قَالَ فِیْهَا تَحْیَوْنَ وَفِیْهَا تَمُوْتُوْنَ وَمِنْهَا تُخْرَجُوْنَ ۟۠

Q̣aala feehaa taḥ-yawna wa-feehaa tamootoona wa-minhaa tukhrajoon.

He added, “There you will live, there you will die, and from there you will be resurrected.”

Verse 7:26

یٰبَنِیْۤ اٰدَمَ قَدْ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَیْكُمْ لِبَاسًا یُّوَارِیْ سَوْاٰتِكُمْ وَرِیْشًا ؕ وَلِبَاسُ التَّقْوٰی ۙ ذٰلِكَ خَیْرٌ ؕ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ اٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَذَّكَّرُوْنَ ۟

Yaa-Baneee ʹaadama q̣ad ʹañzalnaa ʻalaykum libaasañy yuwaaree saw-ʹaatikum wa-reeshaa. Wa-libaasut taq̣waa ẓaalika khayr. Ẓaalika min ʹAayaatil laahi laʻallahum yaẓ-ẓakkaroon.

O children of Adam! We have provided for you clothing to cover your nakedness and as an adornment. However, the best clothing is righteousness. This is one of Allah’s bounties, so perhaps you will be mindful.

Verse 7:27

یٰبَنِیْۤ اٰدَمَ لَا یَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّیْطٰنُ كَمَاۤ اَخْرَجَ اَبَوَیْكُمْ مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ یَنْزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِیُرِیَهُمَا سَوْاٰتِهِمَا ؕ اِنَّهٗ یَرٰىكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِیْلُهٗ مِنْ حَیْثُ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْ ؕ اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا الشَّیٰطِیْنَ اَوْلِیَآءَ لِلَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۟

Yaa-Baneee ʹAadama laa- yaftinannakumush Shayṭaanu kamaaa ʹakhraja ʹa-bawaykum minal Jannati yañziʻu ʻanhumaa libaasahumaa liyuriyahumaa saw-ʹaati-himaa. ʹInnahoo yaraakum huwa wa-q̣abeeluhoo min ḥays̤u laa- tarawnahum. ʹInnaa jaʻalnash shayaaṭeena ʹawliyaaaʹa lillaẓeena laa- yuʹminoon.

O children of Adam! Do not let Satan deceive you as he tempted your parents out of Paradise and caused their cover to be removed in order to expose their nakedness. Surely he and his soldiers watch you from where you cannot see them. We have made the devils allies of those who disbelieve.

Verse 7:28

وَاِذَا فَعَلُوْا فَاحِشَةً قَالُوْا وَجَدْنَا عَلَیْهَاۤ اٰبَآءَنَا وَاللّٰهُ اَمَرَنَا بِهَا ؕ قُلْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یَاْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَآءِ ؕ اَتَقُوْلُوْنَ عَلَی اللّٰهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟

Whenever they commit a shameful deed, they say, “We found our forefathers doing it and Allah has commanded us to do it.” Say, “No! Allah never commands what is shameful. How can you attribute to Allah what you do not know?”

Verse 7:29

قُلْ اَمَرَ رَبِّیْ بِالْقِسْطِ ۫ وَاَقِیْمُوْا وُجُوْهَكُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَّادْعُوْهُ مُخْلِصِیْنَ لَهُ الدِّیْنَ ؕ۬ كَمَا بَدَاَكُمْ تَعُوْدُوْنَ ۟ؕ

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “My Lord has commanded uprightness and dedication ˹to Him alone˺ in worship, calling upon Him with sincere devotion. Just as He first brought you into being, you will be brought to life again.”

Verse 7:30

فَرِیْقًا هَدٰی وَفَرِیْقًا حَقَّ عَلَیْهِمُ الضَّلٰلَةُ ؕ اِنَّهُمُ اتَّخَذُوا الشَّیٰطِیْنَ اَوْلِیَآءَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَیَحْسَبُوْنَ اَنَّهُمْ مُّهْتَدُوْنَ ۟

Fareeq̣an hadaa wa-fareeq̣an ḥaq̣q̣a ʻalayhimuḍ ḍalaalah: ʹinnahumut takhaẓush shayaaṭeena ʹawliyaaaʹa miñ doonil laahi wa-yaḥsaboona ʹannahum muhtadoon.

He has guided some, while others are destined to stray. They have taken devils as their masters instead of Allah—thinking they are ˹rightly˺ guided.

Verse 7:31

یٰبَنِیْۤ اٰدَمَ خُذُوْا زِیْنَتَكُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَّكُلُوْا وَاشْرَبُوْا وَلَا تُسْرِفُوْا ۚ اِنَّهٗ لَا یُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِیْنَ ۟۠

Yaa-Baaneee ʹAadama khuẓoo zeenatakum ʻiñda kulli masjidiñw wakuloo washraboo wa-laa tusrifoo, innahoo laa- yuḥibbul musrifeen.

O Children of Adam! Dress properly whenever you are at worship. Eat and drink, but do not waste. Surely He does not like the wasteful.

Verse 7:32

قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِیْنَةَ اللّٰهِ الَّتِیْۤ اَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِهٖ وَالطَّیِّبٰتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ ؕ قُلْ هِیَ لِلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا خَالِصَةً یَّوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْاٰیٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ یَّعْلَمُوْنَ ۟

Q̣ul man ḥarrama zeenatal laahil lateee ʹakhraja liʻibaadihee waṭ-ṭayyibaati minar rizq̣? Q̣ul hiya lil-laẓeena ʹaamanoo fil ḥayaatid dunyaa khaaliṣatañy Yawmal Q̣iyaamah. Kaẓaalika nufaṣṣilul ʹAayaati liq̣awmiñy yaʻlamoon.

Ask, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Who has forbidden the adornments and lawful provisions Allah has brought forth for His servants?” Say, “They are for the enjoyment of the believers in this worldly life, but they will be exclusively theirs on the Day of Judgment. This is how We make Our revelations clear for people of knowledge.”

Verse 7:33

قُلْ اِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّیَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَالْاِثْمَ وَالْبَغْیَ بِغَیْرِ الْحَقِّ وَاَنْ تُشْرِكُوْا بِاللّٰهِ مَا لَمْ یُنَزِّلْ بِهٖ سُلْطٰنًا وَّاَنْ تَقُوْلُوْا عَلَی اللّٰهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟

Say, “My Lord has only forbidden open and secret indecencies, sinfulness, unjust aggression, associating ˹others˺ with Allah ˹in worship˺—a practice He has never authorized—and attributing to Allah what you do not know.”

Verse 7:34

وَلِكُلِّ اُمَّةٍ اَجَلٌ ۚ فَاِذَا جَآءَ اَجَلُهُمْ لَا یَسْتَاْخِرُوْنَ سَاعَةً وَّلَا یَسْتَقْدِمُوْنَ ۟

Wa-likulli ʹummatin ʹajal: faʹiẓaa jaaaʹa ʹajaluhum laa- yastaʹkhiroona saaʻatañw walaa yastaq̣dimoon.

For each community there is an appointed term. When their time arrives, they can neither delay it for a moment, nor could they advance it.

Verse 7:35

یٰبَنِیْۤ اٰدَمَ اِمَّا یَاْتِیَنَّكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنْكُمْ یَقُصُّوْنَ عَلَیْكُمْ اٰیٰتِیْ ۙ فَمَنِ اتَّقٰی وَاَصْلَحَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَیْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ یَحْزَنُوْنَ ۟

Yaa-Baneee ʹAadama ʹimmaa yaʹtiyannakum rusulum miñkum yaq̣uṣṣoona ʻalaykum ʹAayaatee famanit taq̣aa wa-ʹaṣlaḥa falaa khawfun ʻalayhim wa-laa hum yaḥzanoon.

O children of Adam! When messengers from among yourselves come to you reciting My revelations—whoever shuns evil and mends their ways, there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.

Verse 7:36

وَالَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا عَنْهَاۤ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ ۚ هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ ۟

Wallaẓeena kaẓẓaboo biʹAayaatinaa wastakbaroo ʻan-haaa ʹulaaaʹika ʹAṣḥaabun Naari hum feehaa khaalidoon.

But those who receive Our revelations with denial and arrogance will be the residents of the Fire. They will be there forever.

Verse 7:37

فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰی عَلَی اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا اَوْ كَذَّبَ بِاٰیٰتِهٖ ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ یَنَالُهُمْ نَصِیْبُهُمْ مِّنَ الْكِتٰبِ ؕ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُنَا یَتَوَفَّوْنَهُمْ ۙ قَالُوْۤا اَیْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ؕ قَالُوْا ضَلُّوْا عَنَّا وَشَهِدُوْا عَلٰۤی اَنْفُسِهِمْ اَنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا كٰفِرِیْنَ ۟

Faman ʹaz̤̣lamu mimmanif taraa ʻalal laahi kaẓiban ʹaw kaẓẓaba biʹAayaatih? ʹUlaaaʹika yanaaluhum naṣeebuhum minal Kitaab: Ḥattaaa ʹiẓaa jaaaʹathum rusulunaa yatawaffawnahum q̣aalooo ʹayna maa- kuñtum tadʻoona miñ doonil laah? Q̣aaloo ḍalloo ʻannaa wa-shahidoo ʻalaaa ʹañfusihim ʹannahum kaanoo kaafireen.

Who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah or deny His revelations? They will receive what is destined for them, until Our messenger-angels arrive to take their souls, asking them, “Where are those ˹false gods˺ you used to invoke besides Allah?” They will cry, “They have failed us,” and they will confess against themselves that they were indeed disbelievers.

Verse 7:38

قَالَ ادْخُلُوْا فِیْۤ اُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْاِنْسِ فِی النَّارِ ؕ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَتْ اُمَّةٌ لَّعَنَتْ اُخْتَهَا ؕ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا ادَّارَكُوْا فِیْهَا جَمِیْعًا ۙ قَالَتْ اُخْرٰىهُمْ لِاُوْلٰىهُمْ رَبَّنَا هٰۤؤُلَآءِ اَضَلُّوْنَا فَاٰتِهِمْ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا مِّنَ النَّارِ ؕ۬ قَالَ لِكُلٍّ ضِعْفٌ وَّلٰكِنْ لَّا تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟

Q̣aala likulliñ ḍiʻfuñw walaakil laa taʻlamoon.

Allah will say, “Enter the Fire along with the ˹evil˺ groups of jinn and humans that preceded you.” Whenever a group enters Hell, it will curse the preceding one until they are all gathered inside, the followers will say about their leaders, “Our Lord! They have misled us, so multiply their torment in the Fire.” He will answer, “It has already been multiplied for all, but you do not know.”

Verse 7:39

وَقَالَتْ اُوْلٰىهُمْ لِاُخْرٰىهُمْ فَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ عَلَیْنَا مِنْ فَضْلٍ فَذُوْقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْسِبُوْنَ ۟۠

Then the leaders will say to their followers, “You were no better than us! So taste the torment for what you used to commit.”

Verse 7:40

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا عَنْهَا لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمْ اَبْوَابُ السَّمَآءِ وَلَا یَدْخُلُوْنَ الْجَنَّةَ حَتّٰی یَلِجَ الْجَمَلُ فِیْ سَمِّ الْخِیَاطِ ؕ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِی الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ ۟

Surely those who receive our revelations with denial and arrogance, the gates of heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel passes through the eye of a needle. This is how We reward the wicked.

Verse 7:41

لَهُمْ مِّنْ جَهَنَّمَ مِهَادٌ وَّمِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ غَوَاشٍ ؕ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِی الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟

Lahum miñ Jahannama mihaaduñw wamiñ faw-q̣ihim g̣awaash: wakaẓaalika najziz̤̣ z̤̣aalimeen.

Hell will be their bed; flames will be their cover. This is how We reward the wrongdoers.

Verse 7:42

وَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا اِلَّا وُسْعَهَاۤ ؗ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِ ۚ هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ ۟

As for those who believe and do good—We never require of any soul more than what it can afford—it is they who will be the residents of Paradise. They will be there forever.

Verse 7:43

وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِیْ صُدُوْرِهِمْ مِّنْ غِلٍّ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهِمُ الْاَنْهٰرُ ۚ وَقَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِیْ هَدٰىنَا لِهٰذَا ۫ وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِیَ لَوْلَاۤ اَنْ هَدٰىنَا اللّٰهُ ۚ لَقَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِالْحَقِّ ؕ وَنُوْدُوْۤا اَنْ تِلْكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ اُوْرِثْتُمُوْهَا بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟

We will remove whatever bitterness they had in their hearts. Rivers will flow under their feet. And they will say, “Praise be to Allah for guiding us to this. We would have never been guided if Allah had not guided us. The messengers of our Lord had certainly come with the truth.” It will be announced to them, “This is Paradise awarded to you for what you used to do.”

Verse 7:44

وَنَادٰۤی اَصْحٰبُ الْجَنَّةِ اَصْحٰبَ النَّارِ اَنْ قَدْ وَجَدْنَا مَا وَعَدَنَا رَبُّنَا حَقًّا فَهَلْ وَجَدْتُّمْ مَّا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا ؕ قَالُوْا نَعَمْ ۚ فَاَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ بَیْنَهُمْ اَنْ لَّعْنَةُ اللّٰهِ عَلَی الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟ۙ

The residents of Paradise will call out to the residents of the Fire, “We have certainly found our Lord’s promise to be true. Have you too found your Lord’s promise to be true?” They will reply, “Yes, we have!” Then a caller will announce to both, “May Allah’s condemnation be upon the wrongdoers,

Verse 7:45

الَّذِیْنَ یَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَیَبْغُوْنَهَا عِوَجًا ۚ وَهُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ كٰفِرُوْنَ ۟ۘ

There will be a barrier between Paradise and Hell. And on the heights ˹of that barrier˺ will be people who will recognize ˹the residents of˺ both by their appearance. They will call out to the residents of Paradise, “Peace be upon you!” They will have not yet entered Paradise, but eagerly hope to.

Verse 7:47

وَاِذَا صُرِفَتْ اَبْصَارُهُمْ تِلْقَآءَ اَصْحٰبِ النَّارِ ۙ قَالُوْا رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟۠

When their eyes will turn towards the residents of Hell, they will pray, “Our Lord! Do not join us with the wrongdoing people.”

Verse 7:48

وَنَادٰۤی اَصْحٰبُ الْاَعْرَافِ رِجَالًا یَّعْرِفُوْنَهُمْ بِسِیْمٰىهُمْ قَالُوْا مَاۤ اَغْنٰی عَنْكُمْ جَمْعُكُمْ وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ ۟

Wa-naadaaa ʹAṣḥaabul ʹAʻRAAFI rijaalañy yaʻrifoonahum̃ biseemaahum q̣aaloo maaa ʹag̣naa ʻañkum jamʻukum wa-maa kuñtum tastakbiroon?

Those on the heights will call out to some ˹tyrants in the Fire˺, who they will recognize by their appearance, saying, “Your large numbers and arrogance are of no use ˹today˺!

Verse 7:49

اَهٰۤؤُلَآءِ الَّذِیْنَ اَقْسَمْتُمْ لَا یَنَالُهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ ؕ اُدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَیْكُمْ وَلَاۤ اَنْتُمْ تَحْزَنُوْنَ ۟

Are these ˹humble believers˺ the ones you swore would never be shown Allah’s mercy?” ˹Finally, those on the heights will be told:˺ “Enter Paradise! There will be no fear for you, nor will you grieve.”

Verse 7:50

وَنَادٰۤی اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ اَصْحٰبَ الْجَنَّةِ اَنْ اَفِیْضُوْا عَلَیْنَا مِنَ الْمَآءِ اَوْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللّٰهُ ؕ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّ اللّٰهَ حَرَّمَهُمَا عَلَی الْكٰفِرِیْنَ ۟ۙ

The residents of the Fire will then cry out to the residents of Paradise, “Aid us with some water or any provision Allah has granted you.” They will reply, “Allah has forbidden both to the disbelievers,

those who took this faith ˹of Islam˺ as mere amusement and play and were deluded by ˹their˺ worldly life.” ˹Allah will say,˺ “Today We will ignore them just as they ignored the coming of this Day of theirs and for rejecting Our revelations.”

Verse 7:52

وَلَقَدْ جِئْنٰهُمْ بِكِتٰبٍ فَصَّلْنٰهُ عَلٰی عِلْمٍ هُدًی وَّرَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ یُّؤْمِنُوْنَ ۟

Wa-laq̣ad jiʹnaahum̃ bi-Kitaabiñ faṣṣalnaahu ʻalaa ʻilmin hudañw waraḥmatal liq̣awmiñy yuʹminoon.

We have certainly brought them a Book which We explained with knowledge—a guide and mercy for those who believe.

Verse 7:53

هَلْ یَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّا تَاْوِیْلَهٗ ؕ یَوْمَ یَاْتِیْ تَاْوِیْلُهٗ یَقُوْلُ الَّذِیْنَ نَسُوْهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ قَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِالْحَقِّ ۚ فَهَلْ لَّنَا مِنْ شُفَعَآءَ فَیَشْفَعُوْا لَنَاۤ اَوْ نُرَدُّ فَنَعْمَلَ غَیْرَ الَّذِیْ كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ ؕ قَدْ خَسِرُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا یَفْتَرُوْنَ ۟۠

Do they only await the fulfilment ˹of its warning˺? The Day it will be fulfilled, those who ignored it before will say, “The messengers of our Lord certainly came with the truth. Are there any intercessors who can plead on our behalf? Or can we be sent back so we may do ˹good,˺ unlike what we used to do?” They will have certainly ruined themselves, and whatever ˹gods˺ they fabricated will fail them.

Verse 7:54

اِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ فِیْ سِتَّةِ اَیَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰی عَلَی الْعَرْشِ ۫ یُغْشِی الَّیْلَ النَّهَارَ یَطْلُبُهٗ حَثِیْثًا ۙ وَّالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُوْمَ مُسَخَّرٰتٍۭ بِاَمْرِهٖ ؕ اَلَا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالْاَمْرُ ؕ تَبٰرَكَ اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ ۟

Indeed your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then established Himself on the Throne. He makes the day and night overlap in rapid succession. He created the sun, the moon, and the stars—all subjected by His command. The creation and the command belong to Him ˹alone˺. Blessed is Allah—Lord of all worlds!

Verse 7:55

اُدْعُوْا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًا وَّخُفْیَةً ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَا یُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِیْنَ ۟ۚ

ʹUdʻoo Rabbakum taḍarruʻañw wakhufyah: ʹinnahoo laa- yuḥibbul muʻtadeen.

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

Verse 7:56

وَلَا تُفْسِدُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ بَعْدَ اِصْلَاحِهَا وَادْعُوْهُ خَوْفًا وَّطَمَعًا ؕ اِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللّٰهِ قَرِیْبٌ مِّنَ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ ۟

Wa-laa tufsidoo fil ʹarḍi baʻda ʹiṣlaaḥihaa wadʻoohu khawfañw waṭamaʻaa: ʹinna Raḥmatal laahi q̣areebum minal Muḥsineen.

Do not spread corruption in the land after it has been set in order. And call upon Him with hope and fear. Indeed, Allah’s mercy is always close to the good-doers.

Verse 7:57

وَهُوَ الَّذِیْ یُرْسِلُ الرِّیٰحَ بُشْرًاۢ بَیْنَ یَدَیْ رَحْمَتِهٖ ؕ حَتّٰۤی اِذَاۤ اَقَلَّتْ سَحَابًا ثِقَالًا سُقْنٰهُ لِبَلَدٍ مَّیِّتٍ فَاَنْزَلْنَا بِهِ الْمَآءَ فَاَخْرَجْنَا بِهٖ مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰتِ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ نُخْرِجُ الْمَوْتٰی لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۟

He is the One Who sends the winds ushering in His mercy. When they bear heavy clouds, We drive them to a lifeless land and then cause rain to fall, producing every type of fruit. Similarly, We will bring the dead to life, so perhaps you will be mindful.

Verse 7:58

وَالْبَلَدُ الطَّیِّبُ یَخْرُجُ نَبَاتُهٗ بِاِذْنِ رَبِّهٖ ۚ وَالَّذِیْ خَبُثَ لَا یَخْرُجُ اِلَّا نَكِدًا ؕ كَذٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ الْاٰیٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ یَّشْكُرُوْنَ ۟۠

The fertile land produces abundantly by the Will of its Lord, whereas the infertile land hardly produces anything. This is how We vary ˹Our˺ lessons to those who are thankful.

Verse 7:59

لَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰی قَوْمِهٖ فَقَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَیْرُهٗ ؕ اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَیْكُمْ عَذَابَ یَوْمٍ عَظِیْمٍ ۟

Indeed, We sent Noah to his people. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah—you have no other god except Him. I truly fear for you the torment of a tremendous Day.”

Do you find it astonishing that a reminder should come to you from your Lord through one of your own, warning you, so you may beware and perhaps be shown mercy?”

Verse 7:64

فَكَذَّبُوْهُ فَاَنْجَیْنٰهُ وَالَّذِیْنَ مَعَهٗ فِی الْفُلْكِ وَاَغْرَقْنَا الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا ؕ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمًا عَمِیْنَ ۟۠

But they rejected him, so We saved him and those with him in the Ark, and drowned those who rejected Our signs. They were certainly a blind people.

And to the people of ’Âd We sent their brother Hûd. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah—you have no other god except Him. Will you not then fear Him?”

Verse 7:66

قَالَ الْمَلَاُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖۤ اِنَّا لَنَرٰىكَ فِیْ سَفَاهَةٍ وَّاِنَّا لَنَظُنُّكَ مِنَ الْكٰذِبِیْنَ ۟

Do you find it astonishing that a reminder should come to you from your Lord through one of your own so he may warn you? Remember that He made you successors after the people of Noah and increased you greatly in stature. So remember Allah’s favours, so you may be successful.”

Verse 7:70

قَالُوْۤا اَجِئْتَنَا لِنَعْبُدَ اللّٰهَ وَحْدَهٗ وَنَذَرَ مَا كَانَ یَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَا ۚ فَاْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ ۟

They said, “Have you come to us so that we would worship Allah alone and abandon what our forefathers used to worship? Then bring us what you threaten us with, if what you say is true!”

Verse 7:71

قَالَ قَدْ وَقَعَ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ رِجْسٌ وَّغَضَبٌ ؕ اَتُجَادِلُوْنَنِیْ فِیْۤ اَسْمَآءٍ سَمَّیْتُمُوْهَاۤ اَنْتُمْ وَاٰبَآؤُكُمْ مَّا نَزَّلَ اللّٰهُ بِهَا مِنْ سُلْطٰنٍ ؕ فَانْتَظِرُوْۤا اِنِّیْ مَعَكُمْ مِّنَ الْمُنْتَظِرِیْنَ ۟

He said, “You will certainly be subjected to your Lord’s torment and wrath. Do you dispute with me regarding the so-called gods which you and your forefathers have made up—a practice Allah has never authorized? Then wait! I too am waiting with you.”

Verse 7:72

فَاَنْجَیْنٰهُ وَالَّذِیْنَ مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَقَطَعْنَا دَابِرَ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَمَا كَانُوْا مُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟۠

Faʹañjaynaahu wallaẓeena maʻahoo biraḥmatim minnaa wa-q̣aṭaʻnaa daabiral laẓeena kaẓẓaboo biʹAayaatinaa wa-maa kaanoo Muʹmineen.

So We saved him and those with him by Our mercy and uprooted those who denied Our signs. They were not believers.

Verse 7:73

وَاِلٰی ثَمُوْدَ اَخَاهُمْ صٰلِحًا ۘ قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَیْرُهٗ ؕ قَدْ جَآءَتْكُمْ بَیِّنَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ ؕ هٰذِهٖ نَاقَةُ اللّٰهِ لَكُمْ اٰیَةً فَذَرُوْهَا تَاْكُلْ فِیْۤ اَرْضِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا تَمَسُّوْهَا بِسُوْٓءٍ فَیَاْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ ۟

And to the people of Thamûd We sent their brother Ṣâliḥ. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah—you have no other god except Him. A clear proof has come to you from your Lord: this is Allah’s she-camel as a sign to you. So leave her to graze ˹freely˺ on Allah’s land and do not harm her, or else you will be overcome by a painful punishment.

Verse 7:74

وَاذْكُرُوْۤا اِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَآءَ مِنْ بَعْدِ عَادٍ وَّبَوَّاَكُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ تَتَّخِذُوْنَ مِنْ سُهُوْلِهَا قُصُوْرًا وَّتَنْحِتُوْنَ الْجِبَالَ بُیُوْتًا ۚ فَاذْكُرُوْۤا اٰلَآءَ اللّٰهِ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِیْنَ ۟

Remember when He made you successors after ’Âd and established you in the land—˹and˺ you built palaces on its plains and carved homes into mountains. So remember Allah’s favours, and do not go about spreading corruption in the land.”

Verse 7:75

قَالَ الْمَلَاُ الَّذِیْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖ لِلَّذِیْنَ اسْتُضْعِفُوْا لِمَنْ اٰمَنَ مِنْهُمْ اَتَعْلَمُوْنَ اَنَّ صٰلِحًا مُّرْسَلٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ ؕ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّا بِمَاۤ اُرْسِلَ بِهٖ مُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۟

The arrogant chiefs of his people asked the lowly who believed among them, “Are you certain that Ṣâliḥ has been sent by his Lord?” They replied, “We certainly believe in what he has been sent with.”

Verse 7:76

قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْۤا اِنَّا بِالَّذِیْۤ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِهٖ كٰفِرُوْنَ ۟

Q̣aalal laẓeenas takbarooo ʹinnaa billaẓeee ʹaamañtum̃ bihee kaafiroon.

The arrogant said, “We surely reject what you believe in.”

Verse 7:77

فَعَقَرُوا النَّاقَةَ وَعَتَوْا عَنْ اَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ وَقَالُوْا یٰصٰلِحُ ائْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِیْنَ ۟

Faʻaq̣arun Naaq̣ata wa-ʻataw ʻan ʹamri Rabbihim wa-q̣aaloo yaa-Ṣaaliḥuʹ tinaa bimaa taʻidunaaa ʹiñ kuñta minal mursaleen.

Then they killed the she-camel—defying their Lord’s command—and challenged ˹Ṣâliḥ˺, “Bring us what you threaten us with, if you are ˹truly˺ one of the messengers.”

Verse 7:78

فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِیْ دَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِیْنَ ۟

Faʹakhaẓathumur rajfatu faʹaṣbaḥoo fee daarihim jaas̤imeen.

Then an ˹overwhelming˺ earthquake struck them, and they fell lifeless in their homes.

Verse 7:79

فَتَوَلّٰی عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ یٰقَوْمِ لَقَدْ اَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّیْ وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ وَلٰكِنْ لَّا تُحِبُّوْنَ النّٰصِحِیْنَ ۟

Fatawallaa ʻanhum wa-q̣aala yaa-q̣awmi laq̣ad ʹablag̣tukum risaalata Rabbee wa-naṣaḥtu lakum wa-laakil laa tuḥibboonan naaṣiḥeen.

So he turned away from them, saying, “O my people! Surely I conveyed to you my Lord’s message and gave you ˹sincere˺ advice, but you do not like ˹sincere˺ advisors.”

Verse 7:80

وَلُوْطًا اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهٖۤ اَتَاْتُوْنَ الْفَاحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُمْ بِهَا مِنْ اَحَدٍ مِّنَ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ ۟

Wa-Looṭan ʹiẓ q̣aala liq̣awmiheee ʹataʹtoonal faaḥishata maa- sabaq̣akum̃ bihaa min ʹaḥadim minal ʻaalameen?

And ˹remember˺ when Lot scolded ˹the men of˺ his people, ˹saying,˺ “Do you commit a shameful deed that no man has ever done before?

Verse 7:81

اِنَّكُمْ لَتَاْتُوْنَ الرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّنْ دُوْنِ النِّسَآءِ ؕ بَلْ اَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّسْرِفُوْنَ ۟

ʹInnakum lataʹtoonar rijaala shahwatam miñ doonin nisaaaʹ. Bal ʹañtum q̣awmum musrifoon.

You lust after men instead of women! You are certainly transgressors.”

Verse 7:82

وَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ قَالُوْۤا اَخْرِجُوْهُمْ مِّنْ قَرْیَتِكُمْ ۚ اِنَّهُمْ اُنَاسٌ یَّتَطَهَّرُوْنَ ۟

Wa-maa kaana jawaaba q̣awmiheee ʹillaaa ʹañ q̣aalooo ʹakhrijoohum miñ q̣aryatikum: ʹinnahum ʹunaasuñy yataṭahharoon!

But his people’s only response was to say, “Expel them from your land! They are a people who wish to remain chaste!”

Verse 7:83

فَاَنْجَیْنٰهُ وَاَهْلَهٗۤ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَهٗ ۖؗ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغٰبِرِیْنَ ۟

Faʹañjaynaahu wa-ʹahlahooo ʹillam raʹatahoo kaanat minal g̣aabireen.

So We saved him and his family except his wife, who was one of the doomed.

Verse 7:84

وَاَمْطَرْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ مَّطَرًا ؕ فَانْظُرْ كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ ۟۠

Wa-ʹamṭarnaa ʻalayhim maṭaraa: fañz̤̣ur kayfa kaana ʻaaq̣ibatul mujrimeen!

We poured upon them a rain ˹of brimstone˺. See what was the end of the wicked!

Verse 7:85

وَاِلٰی مَدْیَنَ اَخَاهُمْ شُعَیْبًا ؕ قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَیْرُهٗ ؕ قَدْ جَآءَتْكُمْ بَیِّنَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ فَاَوْفُوا الْكَیْلَ وَالْمِیْزَانَ وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ اَشْیَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تُفْسِدُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ بَعْدَ اِصْلَاحِهَا ؕ ذٰلِكُمْ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟ۚ

And to the people of Midian We sent their brother Shu’aib. He said, “O my people! Worship Allah—you have no other god except Him. A clear proof has already come to you from your Lord. So give just measure and weight, do not defraud people of their property, nor spread corruption in the land after it has been set in order. This is for your own good, if you are ˹truly˺ believers.

Verse 7:86

وَلَا تَقْعُدُوْا بِكُلِّ صِرَاطٍ تُوْعِدُوْنَ وَتَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ مَنْ اٰمَنَ بِهٖ وَتَبْغُوْنَهَا عِوَجًا ۚ وَاذْكُرُوْۤا اِذْ كُنْتُمْ قَلِیْلًا فَكَثَّرَكُمْ ۪ وَانْظُرُوْا كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِیْنَ ۟

And do not lie in ambush on every road—threatening and hindering those who believe in Allah from His Path and striving to make it ˹appear˺ crooked. Remember when you were few, then He increased you in number. And consider the fate of the corruptors!

Verse 7:87

وَاِنْ كَانَ طَآىِٕفَةٌ مِّنْكُمْ اٰمَنُوْا بِالَّذِیْۤ اُرْسِلْتُ بِهٖ وَطَآىِٕفَةٌ لَّمْ یُؤْمِنُوْا فَاصْبِرُوْا حَتّٰی یَحْكُمَ اللّٰهُ بَیْنَنَا ۚ وَهُوَ خَیْرُ الْحٰكِمِیْنَ ۟

If some of you do believe in what I have been sent with while others do not, then be patient until Allah judges between us. He is the Best of Judges.”

Verse 7:88

قَالَ الْمَلَاُ الَّذِیْنَ اسْتَكْبَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكَ یٰشُعَیْبُ وَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَكَ مِنْ قَرْیَتِنَاۤ اَوْ لَتَعُوْدُنَّ فِیْ مِلَّتِنَا ؕ قَالَ اَوَلَوْ كُنَّا كٰرِهِیْنَ ۟۫

The arrogant chiefs of his people threatened, “O Shu’aib! We will certainly expel you and your fellow believers from our land, unless you return to our faith.” He replied, “Even if we hate it?

Verse 7:89

قَدِ افْتَرَیْنَا عَلَی اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا اِنْ عُدْنَا فِیْ مِلَّتِكُمْ بَعْدَ اِذْ نَجّٰىنَا اللّٰهُ مِنْهَا ؕ وَمَا یَكُوْنُ لَنَاۤ اَنْ نَّعُوْدَ فِیْهَاۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یَّشَآءَ اللّٰهُ رَبُّنَا ؕ وَسِعَ رَبُّنَا كُلَّ شَیْءٍ عِلْمًا ؕ عَلَی اللّٰهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا ؕ رَبَّنَا افْتَحْ بَیْنَنَا وَبَیْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَاَنْتَ خَیْرُ الْفٰتِحِیْنَ ۟

We would surely be fabricating a lie against Allah if we were to return to your faith after Allah has saved us from it. It does not befit us to return to it unless it is the Will of Allah, our Lord. Our Lord has encompassed everything in ˹His˺ knowledge. In Allah we trust. Our Lord! Judge between us and our people with truth. You are the best of those who judge.”

Verse 7:90

وَقَالَ الْمَلَاُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖ لَىِٕنِ اتَّبَعْتُمْ شُعَیْبًا اِنَّكُمْ اِذًا لَّخٰسِرُوْنَ ۟

Wa-q̣aalal malaʹul laẓeena kafaroo miñ q̣awmihee laʹinit tabaʻtum Shuʻayban ʹinnakum ʹiẓal lakhaasiroon!

The disbelieving chiefs of his people threatened, “If you follow Shu’aib, you will surely be losers!”

Verse 7:91

فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِیْ دَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِیْنَ ۟

Faʹakhaẓathumur rajfatu faʹaṣbaḥoo fee daarihim jaas̤imeen.

Then an ˹overwhelming˺ earthquake struck them and they fell lifeless in their homes.

Verse 7:92

الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا شُعَیْبًا كَاَنْ لَّمْ یَغْنَوْا فِیْهَا ۛۚ اَلَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا شُعَیْبًا كَانُوْا هُمُ الْخٰسِرِیْنَ ۟

ʹAllaẓeena kaẓẓaboo Shuʻaybañ kaʹal lam yag̣naw feehal laẓeena kaẓẓaboo Shuʻaybañ kaanoo humul khaasireen!

Those who rejected Shu’aib were ˹wiped out˺ as if they had never lived there. Those who rejected Shu’aib were the true losers.

Verse 7:93

فَتَوَلّٰی عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ یٰقَوْمِ لَقَدْ اَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسٰلٰتِ رَبِّیْ وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ ۚ فَكَیْفَ اٰسٰی عَلٰی قَوْمٍ كٰفِرِیْنَ ۟۠

He turned away from them, saying, “O my people! Indeed, I have delivered to you the messages of my Lord and gave you ˹sincere˺ advice. How can I then grieve for those who chose to disbelieve?”

Verse 7:94

وَمَاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا فِیْ قَرْیَةٍ مِّنْ نَّبِیٍّ اِلَّاۤ اَخَذْنَاۤ اَهْلَهَا بِالْبَاْسَآءِ وَالضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَضَّرَّعُوْنَ ۟

Wa-maaa ʹarsalnaa fee q̣aryatim min nabiyyin ʹillaaa ʹakhaẓnaaa ʹahlahaa bil-baʹsaaaʹi waḍḍarraaaʹi laʻallahum yaḍḍarraʻoon.

Whenever We sent a prophet to a society, We afflicted its ˹disbelieving˺ people with suffering and adversity, so perhaps they would be humbled.

Verse 7:95

ثُمَّ بَدَّلْنَا مَكَانَ السَّیِّئَةِ الْحَسَنَةَ حَتّٰی عَفَوْا وَّقَالُوْا قَدْ مَسَّ اٰبَآءَنَا الضَّرَّآءُ وَالسَّرَّآءُ فَاَخَذْنٰهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَّهُمْ لَا یَشْعُرُوْنَ ۟

Then We changed their adversity to prosperity until they flourished and argued ˹falsely˺, “Our forefathers ˹too˺ had been visited by adversity and prosperity.” So We seized them by surprise, while they were unaware.

Verse 7:96

وَلَوْ اَنَّ اَهْلَ الْقُرٰۤی اٰمَنُوْا وَاتَّقَوْا لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ بَرَكٰتٍ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَلٰكِنْ كَذَّبُوْا فَاَخَذْنٰهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَكْسِبُوْنَ ۟

Wa-law ʹanna ʹahlal q̣uraaa ʹaamanoo wattaq̣aw lafataḥnaa ʻalayhim barakaatim minas samaaaʹi wal-ʹarḍi wa-laakiñ kaẓẓaboo faʹakhaẓnaahum̃ bimaa kaanoo yaksiboon.

Had the people of those societies been faithful and mindful ˹of Allah˺, We would have overwhelmed them with blessings from heaven and earth. But they disbelieved, so We seized them for what they used to commit.

Verse 7:97

اَفَاَمِنَ اَهْلُ الْقُرٰۤی اَنْ یَّاْتِیَهُمْ بَاْسُنَا بَیَاتًا وَّهُمْ نَآىِٕمُوْنَ ۟ؕ

ʹA-faʹamina ahlul q̣uraaa ʹañy yaʹtiyahum baʹsunaa bayaatañw wahum naaaʹimoon?

Did the people of those societies feel secure that Our punishment would not come upon them by night while they were asleep?

Verse 7:98

اَوَاَمِنَ اَهْلُ الْقُرٰۤی اَنْ یَّاْتِیَهُمْ بَاْسُنَا ضُحًی وَّهُمْ یَلْعَبُوْنَ ۟

ʹA-waʹamina ʹahlul q̣uraaa ʹañy yaʹtiyahum baʹsunaa ḍuḥañw wahum yalʻaboon?

Or did they feel secure that Our punishment would not come upon them by day while they were at play?

Verse 7:99

اَفَاَمِنُوْا مَكْرَ اللّٰهِ ۚ فَلَا یَاْمَنُ مَكْرَ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ ۟۠

ʹA-faʹaminoo makral laaḥ? Falaa yaʹmanu makral laahi ʹillal q̣awmul khaasiroon!

Did they feel secure against Allah’s planning? None would feel secure from Allah’s planning except the losers.

Verse 7:100

اَوَلَمْ یَهْدِ لِلَّذِیْنَ یَرِثُوْنَ الْاَرْضَ مِنْ بَعْدِ اَهْلِهَاۤ اَنْ لَّوْ نَشَآءُ اَصَبْنٰهُمْ بِذُنُوْبِهِمْ ۚ وَنَطْبَعُ عَلٰی قُلُوْبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا یَسْمَعُوْنَ ۟

Is it not clear to those who take over the land after ˹the destruction of˺ its former residents that—if We will—We can punish them ˹too˺ for their sins and seal their hearts so they will not hear ˹the truth˺?

Verse 7:101

We have narrated to you ˹O Prophet˺ some of the stories of those societies. Surely, their messengers came to them with clear proofs, but still they would not believe in what they had already denied. This is how Allah seals the hearts of the disbelievers.

Verse 7:102

وَمَا وَجَدْنَا لِاَكْثَرِهِمْ مِّنْ عَهْدٍ ۚ وَاِنْ وَّجَدْنَاۤ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَفٰسِقِیْنَ ۟

Wa-maa wajadnaa liʹaks̤arihim min ʻahd. Wa-ʹiñw wajadnaaa ʹaks̤arahum lafaasiq̣een.

We did not find most of them true to their covenant. Rather, We found most of them truly rebellious.

Verse 7:103

ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ مُّوْسٰی بِاٰیٰتِنَاۤ اِلٰی فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَاۡىِٕهٖ فَظَلَمُوْا بِهَا ۚ فَانْظُرْ كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِیْنَ ۟

Then after them We sent Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they wrongfully rejected them. See what was the end of the corruptors!

Verse 7:104

وَقَالَ مُوْسٰی یٰفِرْعَوْنُ اِنِّیْ رَسُوْلٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ ۟ۙ

Wa-q̣aala Moosaa Yaa- -Firʻawnu ʹinnee Rasoolum mir Rabbil ʻAalameen.

And Moses said, “O Pharaoh! I am truly a messenger from the Lord of all worlds,

Verse 7:106

قَالَ اِنْ كُنْتَ جِئْتَ بِاٰیَةٍ فَاْتِ بِهَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ ۟

Q̣aala ʹiñ kuñta jiʹta biʹAayatiñ faʹti bihaaa ʹiñ kuñta minaṣ ṣaadiq̣een.

Pharaoh said, “If you have come with a sign, then bring it if what you say is true.”

Verse 7:107

Faʹalq̣aa ʻAṣaahu faʹiẓaa hiya s̤uʻbaanum mubeen!

So Moses threw down his staff and—behold!—it became a real snake.

Yureedu ʹañy yukhrijakum min ʹarḍikum: famaaẓaa taʹmuroon?

Wa-jaaaʹas saḥaratu Firʻawna q̣aalooo ʹinna lanaa laʹajran ʹiñ kunnaa naḥnul g̣aalibeen.

The magicians came to Pharaoh, saying, “Shall we receive a ˹suitable˺ reward if we prevail?”

Verse 7:114

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَاِنَّكُمْ لَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِیْنَ ۟

Q̣aala naʻam wa-ʹinnakum laminal muq̣arrabeen.

He replied, “Yes, and you will certainly be among those closest to me.”

قَالُوْا یٰمُوْسٰۤی اِمَّاۤ اَنْ تُلْقِیَ وَاِمَّاۤ اَنْ نَّكُوْنَ نَحْنُ الْمُلْقِیْنَ ۟

Q̣aaloo yaa-Moosaaa ʹimmaaa ʹañ tulq̣iya wa-ʹimmaaa ʹan nakoona naḥnul mulq̣een?

They asked, “O Moses! Will you cast, or shall we be the first to cast?”

Verse 7:116

قَالَ اَلْقُوْا ۚ فَلَمَّاۤ اَلْقَوْا سَحَرُوْۤا اَعْیُنَ النَّاسِ وَاسْتَرْهَبُوْهُمْ وَجَآءُوْ بِسِحْرٍ عَظِیْمٍ ۟

Q̣aala ʹalq̣oo. Falammaaa ʹalq̣aw saḥarooo ʹaʻyunan naasi wastarhaboohum wa-jaaaʹoo bisiḥrin ʻaz̤̣eem.

Moses said, “You first.” So when they did, they deceived the eyes of the people, stunned them, and made a great display of magic.

Verse 7:117

وَاَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلٰی مُوْسٰۤی اَنْ اَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۚ فَاِذَا هِیَ تَلْقَفُ مَا یَاْفِكُوْنَ ۟ۚ

Wa-ʹawḥaynaaa ʹilaa Moosaaa ʹan ʹalq̣i ʻAṣaak: faʹiẓaa hiya talq̣afu maa- yaʹfikoon!

Fawaq̣aʻal ḥaq̣q̣u wabaṭala maa- kaanoo yaʻmaloon.

So the truth prevailed and their illusions failed.

Fag̣uliboo hunaalika wañq̣alaboo ṣaag̣ireen.

Wa-ʹulq̣iyas saḥaratu saajideen,

the Lord of Moses and Aaron.”

Verse 7:123

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِهٖ قَبْلَ اَنْ اٰذَنَ لَكُمْ ۚ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَمَكْرٌ مَّكَرْتُمُوْهُ فِی الْمَدِیْنَةِ لِتُخْرِجُوْا مِنْهَاۤ اَهْلَهَا ۚ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟

Pharaoh threatened, “How dare you believe in him before I give you permission? This must be a conspiracy you devised in the city to drive out its people, but soon you will see.

Verse 7:124

لَاُقَطِّعَنَّ اَیْدِیَكُمْ وَاَرْجُلَكُمْ مِّنْ خِلَافٍ ثُمَّ لَاُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ اَجْمَعِیْنَ ۟

Your rage towards us is only because we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord! Shower us with perseverance, and let us die while submitting ˹to You˺.”

Verse 7:127

وَقَالَ الْمَلَاُ مِنْ قَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ اَتَذَرُ مُوْسٰی وَقَوْمَهٗ لِیُفْسِدُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ وَیَذَرَكَ وَاٰلِهَتَكَ ؕ قَالَ سَنُقَتِّلُ اَبْنَآءَهُمْ وَنَسْتَحْیٖ نِسَآءَهُمْ ۚ وَاِنَّا فَوْقَهُمْ قٰهِرُوْنَ ۟

The chiefs of Pharaoh’s people protested, “Are you going to leave Moses and his people free to spread corruption in the land and abandon you and your gods?” He responded, “We will kill their sons and keep their women. We will completely dominate them.”

Verse 7:128

قَالَ مُوْسٰی لِقَوْمِهِ اسْتَعِیْنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَاصْبِرُوْا ۚ اِنَّ الْاَرْضَ لِلّٰهِ ۙ۫ یُوْرِثُهَا مَنْ یَّشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖ ؕ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِیْنَ ۟

Moses reassured his people, “Seek Allah’s help and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah ˹alone˺. He grants it to whoever He chooses of His servants. The ultimate outcome belongs ˹only˺ to the righteous.”

Verse 7:129

قَالُوْۤا اُوْذِیْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ تَاْتِیَنَا وَمِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جِئْتَنَا ؕ قَالَ عَسٰی رَبُّكُمْ اَنْ یُّهْلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَیَسْتَخْلِفَكُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ فَیَنْظُرَ كَیْفَ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟۠

They complained, “We have always been oppressed—before and after you came to us ˹with the message˺.” He replied, “Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you successors in the land to see what you will do.”

Verse 7:130

وَلَقَدْ اَخَذْنَاۤ اٰلَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِالسِّنِیْنَ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الثَّمَرٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَذَّكَّرُوْنَ ۟

Wa-laq̣ad ʹakhaẓnaaa ʹaala Firʻawna bis-sineena wa-naq̣ṣim minas̤ s̤amaraati laʻallahum yaẓẓakkaroon.

Indeed, We afflicted Pharaoh’s people with famine and shortage of crops so they might come back ˹to their senses˺.

Verse 7:131

فَاِذَا جَآءَتْهُمُ الْحَسَنَةُ قَالُوْا لَنَا هٰذِهٖ ۚ وَاِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ سَیِّئَةٌ یَّطَّیَّرُوْا بِمُوْسٰی وَمَنْ مَّعَهٗ ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّمَا طٰٓىِٕرُهُمْ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟

In times of prosperity, they said, “This is what we deserve,” but in adversity, they blamed it on Moses and those with him. Surely all is destined by Allah. Yet most of them did not know.

Verse 7:132

وَقَالُوْا مَهْمَا تَاْتِنَا بِهٖ مِنْ اٰیَةٍ لِّتَسْحَرَنَا بِهَا ۙ فَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟

Wa-q̣aaloo mahmaa taʹtinaa bihee min ʹAayatil litasḥaranaa bihaa famaa naḥnu laka bi-Muʹmineen.

They said, “No matter what sign you may bring to deceive us, we will never believe in you.”

Verse 7:133

فَاَرْسَلْنَا عَلَیْهِمُ الطُّوْفَانَ وَالْجَرَادَ وَالْقُمَّلَ وَالضَّفَادِعَ وَالدَّمَ اٰیٰتٍ مُّفَصَّلٰتٍ ۫ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا وَكَانُوْا قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِیْنَ ۟

So We plagued them with floods, locusts, lice, frogs, and blood—all as clear signs, but they persisted in arrogance and were a wicked people.

Verse 7:134

وَلَمَّا وَقَعَ عَلَیْهِمُ الرِّجْزُ قَالُوْا یٰمُوْسَی ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِنْدَكَ ۚ لَىِٕنْ كَشَفْتَ عَنَّا الرِّجْزَ لَنُؤْمِنَنَّ لَكَ وَلَنُرْسِلَنَّ مَعَكَ بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ ۟ۚ

When tormented, they pleaded, “O Moses! Pray to your Lord on our behalf, by virtue of the covenant He made with you. If you help remove this torment from us, we will certainly believe in you and let the Children of Israel go with you.”

Verse 7:135

فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْزَ اِلٰۤی اَجَلٍ هُمْ بٰلِغُوْهُ اِذَا هُمْ یَنْكُثُوْنَ ۟

Falammaa kashafnaa ʻanhumur rijza ʹilaaa ʹajalin hum̃ baalig̣oohu ʹiẓaa hum yañkus̤oon!

But as soon as We removed the torment from them—until they met their inevitable fate—they broke their promise.

Verse 7:136

فَانْتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَاَغْرَقْنٰهُمْ فِی الْیَمِّ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَكَانُوْا عَنْهَا غٰفِلِیْنَ ۟

Fañtaq̣amnaa minhum faʹag̣raq̣naahum fil yammi biʹannahum kaẓẓaboo biʹAayaatinaa wa-kaanoo ʻanhaa g̣aafileen.

So We inflicted punishment upon them, drowning them in the sea for denying Our signs and being heedless of them.

Verse 7:137

وَاَوْرَثْنَا الْقَوْمَ الَّذِیْنَ كَانُوْا یُسْتَضْعَفُوْنَ مَشَارِقَ الْاَرْضِ وَمَغَارِبَهَا الَّتِیْ بٰرَكْنَا فِیْهَا ؕ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ الْحُسْنٰی عَلٰی بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ ۙ۬ بِمَا صَبَرُوْا ؕ وَدَمَّرْنَا مَا كَانَ یَصْنَعُ فِرْعَوْنُ وَقَوْمُهٗ وَمَا كَانُوْا یَعْرِشُوْنَ ۟

And ˹so˺ We made the oppressed people successors of the eastern and western lands, which We had showered with blessings. ˹In this way˺ the noble Word of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel for what they had endured. And We destroyed what Pharaoh and his people constructed and what they established.

Verse 7:138

وَجٰوَزْنَا بِبَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ الْبَحْرَ فَاَتَوْا عَلٰی قَوْمٍ یَّعْكُفُوْنَ عَلٰۤی اَصْنَامٍ لَّهُمْ ۚ قَالُوْا یٰمُوْسَی اجْعَلْ لَّنَاۤ اِلٰهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ اٰلِهَةٌ ؕ قَالَ اِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُوْنَ ۟

We brought the Children of Israel across the sea and they came upon a people devoted to idols. They demanded, “O Moses! Make for us a god like their gods.” He replied, “Indeed, you are a people acting ignorantly!

Verse 7:139

اِنَّ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ مُتَبَّرٌ مَّا هُمْ فِیْهِ وَبٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟

ʹInna haaaʹulaaaʹi mutabbarum maa hum feehi wa-baaṭilum maa kaanoo yaʻmaloon.

What they follow is certainly doomed to destruction and their deeds are in vain.”

Verse 7:140

قَالَ اَغَیْرَ اللّٰهِ اَبْغِیْكُمْ اِلٰهًا وَّهُوَ فَضَّلَكُمْ عَلَی الْعٰلَمِیْنَ ۟

Q̣aala ʹa-g̣ayral laahi ʹabg̣eekum ʹilaahañw Wa-Huwa faḍḍalakum ʻalal ʻaalameen?

He added, “Shall I seek for you a god other than Allah, while He has honoured you above the others?”

Verse 7:141

وَاِذْ اَنْجَیْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ اٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَ یَسُوْمُوْنَكُمْ سُوْٓءَ الْعَذَابِ ۚ یُقَتِّلُوْنَ اَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَیَسْتَحْیُوْنَ نِسَآءَكُمْ ؕ وَفِیْ ذٰلِكُمْ بَلَآءٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ عَظِیْمٌ ۟۠

And ˹remember˺ when We rescued you from the people of Pharaoh, who afflicted you with dreadful torment—killing your sons and keeping your women. That was a severe test from your Lord.

Verse 7:142

وَوٰعَدْنَا مُوْسٰی ثَلٰثِیْنَ لَیْلَةً وَّاَتْمَمْنٰهَا بِعَشْرٍ فَتَمَّ مِیْقَاتُ رَبِّهٖۤ اَرْبَعِیْنَ لَیْلَةً ۚ وَقَالَ مُوْسٰی لِاَخِیْهِ هٰرُوْنَ اخْلُفْنِیْ فِیْ قَوْمِیْ وَاَصْلِحْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ سَبِیْلَ الْمُفْسِدِیْنَ ۟

We appointed for Moses thirty nights then added another ten—completing his Lord’s term of forty nights. Moses commanded his brother Aaron, “Take my place among my people, do what is right, and do not follow the way of the corruptors.”

Verse 7:143

وَلَمَّا جَآءَ مُوْسٰی لِمِیْقَاتِنَا وَكَلَّمَهٗ رَبُّهٗ ۙ قَالَ رَبِّ اَرِنِیْۤ اَنْظُرْ اِلَیْكَ ؕ قَالَ لَنْ تَرٰىنِیْ وَلٰكِنِ انْظُرْ اِلَی الْجَبَلِ فَاِنِ اسْتَقَرَّ مَكَانَهٗ فَسَوْفَ تَرٰىنِیْ ۚ فَلَمَّا تَجَلّٰی رَبُّهٗ لِلْجَبَلِ جَعَلَهٗ دَكًّا وَّخَرَّ مُوْسٰی صَعِقًا ۚ فَلَمَّاۤ اَفَاقَ قَالَ سُبْحٰنَكَ تُبْتُ اِلَیْكَ وَاَنَا اَوَّلُ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟

When Moses came at the appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he asked, “My Lord! Reveal Yourself to me so I may see You.” Allah answered, “You cannot see Me! But look at the mountain. If it remains firm in its place, only then will you see Me.” When his Lord appeared to the mountain, He levelled it to dust and Moses collapsed unconscious. When he recovered, he cried, “Glory be to You! I turn to You in repentance and I am the first of the believers.”

Verse 7:144

قَالَ یٰمُوْسٰۤی اِنِّی اصْطَفَیْتُكَ عَلَی النَّاسِ بِرِسٰلٰتِیْ وَبِكَلَامِیْ ۖؗ فَخُذْ مَاۤ اٰتَیْتُكَ وَكُنْ مِّنَ الشّٰكِرِیْنَ ۟

Q̣aala yaa-Moosaaa ʹinniṣ ṭafaytuka ʻalan naasi bi-Risaalaatee wa-bi-Kalaamee fakhuẓ maaa ʹaataytuka wa-kum minash shaakireen.

Allah said, “O Moses! I have ˹already˺ elevated you above all others by My messages and speech. So hold firmly to what I have given you and be grateful.”

Verse 7:145

وَكَتَبْنَا لَهٗ فِی الْاَلْوَاحِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَیْءٍ مَّوْعِظَةً وَّتَفْصِیْلًا لِّكُلِّ شَیْءٍ ۚ فَخُذْهَا بِقُوَّةٍ وَّاْمُرْ قَوْمَكَ یَاْخُذُوْا بِاَحْسَنِهَا ؕ سَاُورِیْكُمْ دَارَ الْفٰسِقِیْنَ ۟

We wrote for him on the Tablets ˹the fundamentals˺ of everything; commandments and explanations of all things. ˹We commanded,˺ “Hold to this firmly and ask your people to take the best of it. I will soon show ˹all of˺ you the home of the rebellious.

Verse 7:146

سَاَصْرِفُ عَنْ اٰیٰتِیَ الَّذِیْنَ یَتَكَبَّرُوْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ بِغَیْرِ الْحَقِّ ؕ وَاِنْ یَّرَوْا كُلَّ اٰیَةٍ لَّا یُؤْمِنُوْا بِهَا ۚ وَاِنْ یَّرَوْا سَبِیْلَ الرُّشْدِ لَا یَتَّخِذُوْهُ سَبِیْلًا ۚ وَاِنْ یَّرَوْا سَبِیْلَ الْغَیِّ یَتَّخِذُوْهُ سَبِیْلًا ؕ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَكَانُوْا عَنْهَا غٰفِلِیْنَ ۟

Ẓaalika biʹannahum kaẓẓaboo biʹAayaatinaa wa-kaanoo ʻanhaa g̣aafileen.

I will turn away from My signs those who act unjustly with arrogance in the land. And even if they were to see every sign, they still would not believe in them. If they see the Right Path, they will not take it. But if they see a crooked path, they will follow it. This is because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.

Verse 7:147

وَالَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَلِقَآءِ الْاٰخِرَةِ حَبِطَتْ اَعْمَالُهُمْ ؕ هَلْ یُجْزَوْنَ اِلَّا مَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟۠

Wallaẓeena kaẓẓaboo biʹAayaatinaa wa-Liq̣aaaʹil ʹAakhirati ḥabiṭat ʹaʻmaaluhum. Hal yujzawna ʹillaa maa- kaanoo yaʻmaloon?

The deeds of those who deny Our signs and the meeting ˹with Allah˺ in the Hereafter will be in vain. Will they be rewarded except for what they have done?”

Verse 7:148

وَاتَّخَذَ قَوْمُ مُوْسٰی مِنْ بَعْدِهٖ مِنْ حُلِیِّهِمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَّهٗ خُوَارٌ ؕ اَلَمْ یَرَوْا اَنَّهٗ لَا یُكَلِّمُهُمْ وَلَا یَهْدِیْهِمْ سَبِیْلًا ۘ اِتَّخَذُوْهُ وَكَانُوْا ظٰلِمِیْنَ ۟

In the absence of Moses, his people made from their ˹golden˺ jewellery an idol of a calf that made a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to the ˹Right˺ Path? Still they took it as a god and were wrongdoers.

Verse 7:149

وَلَمَّا سُقِطَ فِیْۤ اَیْدِیْهِمْ وَرَاَوْا اَنَّهُمْ قَدْ ضَلُّوْا ۙ قَالُوْا لَىِٕنْ لَّمْ یَرْحَمْنَا رَبُّنَا وَیَغْفِرْ لَنَا لَنَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الْخٰسِرِیْنَ ۟

Later, when they were filled with remorse and realized they had gone astray, they cried, “If our Lord does not have mercy on us and forgive us, we will certainly be losers.”

Verse 7:150

وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ مُوْسٰۤی اِلٰی قَوْمِهٖ غَضْبَانَ اَسِفًا ۙ قَالَ بِئْسَمَا خَلَفْتُمُوْنِیْ مِنْ بَعْدِیْ ۚ اَعَجِلْتُمْ اَمْرَ رَبِّكُمْ ۚ وَاَلْقَی الْاَلْوَاحَ وَاَخَذَ بِرَاْسِ اَخِیْهِ یَجُرُّهٗۤ اِلَیْهِ ؕ قَالَ ابْنَ اُمَّ اِنَّ الْقَوْمَ اسْتَضْعَفُوْنِیْ وَكَادُوْا یَقْتُلُوْنَنِیْ ۖؗ فَلَا تُشْمِتْ بِیَ الْاَعْدَآءَ وَلَا تَجْعَلْنِیْ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟

Upon Moses’ return to his people, ˹totally˺ furious and sorrowful, he said, “What an evil thing you committed in my absence! Did you want to hasten your Lord’s torment?” Then he threw down the Tablets and grabbed his brother by the hair, dragging him closer. Aaron pleaded, “O son of my mother! The people overpowered me and were about to kill me. So do not ˹humiliate me and˺ make my enemies rejoice, nor count me among the wrongdoing people.”

Verse 7:151

قَالَ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِیْ وَلِاَخِیْ وَاَدْخِلْنَا فِیْ رَحْمَتِكَ ۖؗ وَاَنْتَ اَرْحَمُ الرّٰحِمِیْنَ ۟۠

Q̣aala Rabbig̣ fir lee wa-liʹakhee wa-ʹadkhilnaa fee Raḥmatika wa-ʹAñta ʹArḥamur raaḥimeen!

Moses prayed, “My Lord! Forgive me and my brother! And admit us into Your mercy. You are the Most Merciful of the merciful.”

Verse 7:152

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اتَّخَذُوا الْعِجْلَ سَیَنَالُهُمْ غَضَبٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِمْ وَذِلَّةٌ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا ؕ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِی الْمُفْتَرِیْنَ ۟

ʹInnal laẓeenat takhaẓul ʻijlasa yanaaluhum g̣aḍabum mir Rabbihim waẓillatuñ fil ḥayaatid dunyaa: wa-kaẓaalika najzil muftareen.

Those who worshipped the calf will certainly be afflicted with Allah’s wrath as well as disgrace in the life of this world. This is how We reward those who invent falsehood.

Verse 7:153

وَالَّذِیْنَ عَمِلُوا السَّیِّاٰتِ ثُمَّ تَابُوْا مِنْ بَعْدِهَا وَاٰمَنُوْۤا ؗ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنْ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟

Wallaẓeena ʻamilus sayyiʹaati s̤umma taaboo mim baʻdihaa wa-ʹaamanooo ʹinna Rabbaka mim baʻdihaa la-G̣afoorur Raḥeem.

But those who commit evil, then repent and become ˹true˺ believers, your Lord will certainly be All-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.

Verse 7:154

وَلَمَّا سَكَتَ عَنْ مُّوْسَی الْغَضَبُ اَخَذَ الْاَلْوَاحَ ۖۚ وَفِیْ نُسْخَتِهَا هُدًی وَّرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِیْنَ هُمْ لِرَبِّهِمْ یَرْهَبُوْنَ ۟

Wa-lammaa sakata ʻam Moosal g̣aḍabu ʹakhaẓal ʹAlwaaḥa wa-fee nuskhatihaa Hudañw Wa-Raḥmatul lil-laẓeena hum li-Rabbihim yarhaboon.

When Moses’ anger subsided, he took up the Tablets whose text contained guidance and mercy for those who stand in awe of their Lord.

Verse 7:155

وَاخْتَارَ مُوْسٰی قَوْمَهٗ سَبْعِیْنَ رَجُلًا لِّمِیْقَاتِنَا ۚ فَلَمَّاۤ اَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ قَالَ رَبِّ لَوْ شِئْتَ اَهْلَكْتَهُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُ وَاِیَّایَ ؕ اَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ السُّفَهَآءُ مِنَّا ۚ اِنْ هِیَ اِلَّا فِتْنَتُكَ ؕ تُضِلُّ بِهَا مَنْ تَشَآءُ وَتَهْدِیْ مَنْ تَشَآءُ ؕ اَنْتَ وَلِیُّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا وَاَنْتَ خَیْرُ الْغٰفِرِیْنَ ۟

Moses chose seventy men from among his people for Our appointment and, when they were seized by an earthquake, he cried, “My Lord! Had You willed, You could have destroyed them long ago, and me as well. Will You destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? This is only a test from You—by which You allow whoever you will to stray and guide whoever You will. You are our Guardian. So forgive us and have mercy on us. You are the best forgiver.

Verse 7:156

وَاكْتُبْ لَنَا فِیْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْیَا حَسَنَةً وَّفِی الْاٰخِرَةِ اِنَّا هُدْنَاۤ اِلَیْكَ ؕ قَالَ عَذَابِیْۤ اُصِیْبُ بِهٖ مَنْ اَشَآءُ ۚ وَرَحْمَتِیْ وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَیْءٍ ؕ فَسَاَكْتُبُهَا لِلَّذِیْنَ یَتَّقُوْنَ وَیُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَالَّذِیْنَ هُمْ بِاٰیٰتِنَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۟ۚ

Ordain for us what is good in this life and the next. Indeed, we have turned to You ˹in repentance˺.” Allah replied, “I will inflict My torment on whoever I will. But My mercy encompasses everything. I will ordain mercy for those who shun evil, pay alms-tax, and believe in Our revelations.

Verse 7:157

“˹They are˺ the ones who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whose description they find in their Torah and the Gospel. He commands them to do good and forbids them from evil, permits for them what is lawful and forbids to them what is impure, and relieves them from their burdens and the shackles that bound them. ˹Only˺ those who believe in him, honour and support him, and follow the light sent down to him will be successful.”

Verse 7:158

قُلْ یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنِّیْ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ اِلَیْكُمْ جَمِیْعَا لَّذِیْ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ۚ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ یُحْیٖ وَیُمِیْتُ ۪ فَاٰمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهِ النَّبِیِّ الْاُمِّیِّ الَّذِیْ یُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَكَلِمٰتِهٖ وَاتَّبِعُوْهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُوْنَ ۟

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O humanity! I am Allah’s Messenger to you all. To Him ˹alone˺ belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. He gives life and causes death.” So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, who believes in Allah and His revelations. And follow him, so you may be ˹rightly˺ guided.

Verse 7:159

وَمِنْ قَوْمِ مُوْسٰۤی اُمَّةٌ یَّهْدُوْنَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهٖ یَعْدِلُوْنَ ۟

There are some among the people of Moses who guide with the truth and establish justice accordingly.

We divided them into twelve tribes—each as a community. And We revealed to Moses, when his people asked for water, “Strike the rock with your staff.” Then twelve springs gushed out. Each tribe knew its drinking place. We shaded them with clouds and sent down to them manna and quails, ˹saying˺, “Eat from the good things We have provided for you.” They ˹certainly˺ did not wrong Us, but wronged themselves.

Verse 7:161

وَاِذْ قِیْلَ لَهُمُ اسْكُنُوْا هٰذِهِ الْقَرْیَةَ وَكُلُوْا مِنْهَا حَیْثُ شِئْتُمْ وَقُوْلُوْا حِطَّةٌ وَّادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا نَّغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطِیْٓـٰٔتِكُمْ ؕ سَنَزِیْدُ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ ۟

And ˹remember˺ when it was said to them, “Enter this city ˹of Jerusalem˺ and eat from wherever you please. Say, ‘Absolve us,’ and enter the gate with humility. We will forgive your sins, ˹and˺ We will multiply the reward for the good-doers.”

Verse 7:162

فَبَدَّلَ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مِنْهُمْ قَوْلًا غَیْرَ الَّذِیْ قِیْلَ لَهُمْ فَاَرْسَلْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ رِجْزًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَظْلِمُوْنَ ۟۠

But the wrongdoers among them changed the words they were commanded to say. So We sent down a punishment from the heavens upon them for their wrongdoing.

Ask them ˹O Prophet˺ about ˹the people of˺ the town which was by the sea, who broke the Sabbath. During the Sabbath, ˹abundant˺ fish would come to them clearly visible, but on other days the fish were never seen. In this way We tested them for their rebelliousness.

Verse 7:164

وَاِذْ قَالَتْ اُمَّةٌ مِّنْهُمْ لِمَ تَعِظُوْنَ قَوْمَا ۙ للّٰهُ مُهْلِكُهُمْ اَوْ مُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِیْدًا ؕ قَالُوْا مَعْذِرَةً اِلٰی رَبِّكُمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَّقُوْنَ ۟

When some of ˹the righteous among˺ them questioned ˹their fellow Sabbath-keepers˺, “Why do you ˹bother to˺ warn those ˹Sabbath-breakers˺ who will either be destroyed or severely punished by Allah?” They replied, “Just to be free from your Lord’s blame, and so perhaps they may abstain.”

Verse 7:165

فَلَمَّا نَسُوْا مَا ذُكِّرُوْا بِهٖۤ اَنْجَیْنَا الَّذِیْنَ یَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ السُّوْٓءِ وَاَخَذْنَا الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا بِعَذَابٍۭ بَىِٕیْسٍ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَفْسُقُوْنَ ۟

When they ignored the warning they were given, We rescued those who used to warn against evil and overtook the wrongdoers with a dreadful punishment for their rebelliousness.

Verse 7:166

فَلَمَّا عَتَوْا عَنْ مَّا نُهُوْا عَنْهُ قُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُوْنُوْا قِرَدَةً خٰسِىِٕیْنَ ۟

Falammaa ʻataw ʻam maa nuhoo ʻanhu q̣ulnaa lahum koonoo q̣iradatan khaasiʹeen.

But when they stubbornly persisted in violation, We said to them, “Be disgraced apes!”

Verse 7:167

وَاِذْ تَاَذَّنَ رَبُّكَ لَیَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَیْهِمْ اِلٰی یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَةِ مَنْ یَّسُوْمُهُمْ سُوْٓءَ الْعَذَابِ ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَسَرِیْعُ الْعِقَابِ ۖۚ وَاِنَّهٗ لَغَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟

Wa-ʹiẓ taʹaẓẓana Rabbuka layabʻas̤anna ʻalayhim ʹilaa yawmil Q̣iyaamati mañy yasoomuhum soooʹal ʻaẓaab. ʹInna rabbaka la-Sareeʻul ʻiq̣aabi wa-ʹinnahoo la-G̣afoorur Raḥeem.

And ˹remember, O Prophet,˺ when your Lord declared that He would send against them others who would make them suffer terribly until the Day of Judgment. Indeed, your Lord is swift in punishment, but He is certainly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Verse 7:168

وَقَطَّعْنٰهُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ اُمَمًا ۚ مِنْهُمُ الصّٰلِحُوْنَ وَمِنْهُمْ دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَ ؗ وَبَلَوْنٰهُمْ بِالْحَسَنٰتِ وَالسَّیِّاٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَرْجِعُوْنَ ۟

Wa-q̣aṭṭaʻnaahum fil ʹarḍi ʹumamaa. Min-humuṣ ṣaaliḥoona wa-minhum doona ẓaalik. Wa-balawnaahum̃ bil-ḥasanaati was-sayyiʹaati laʻallahum yarjiʻoon.

We dispersed them through the land in groups—some were righteous, others were less so. We tested them with prosperity and adversity, so perhaps they would return ˹to the Right Path˺.

Verse 7:169

فَخَلَفَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ وَّرِثُوا الْكِتٰبَ یَاْخُذُوْنَ عَرَضَ هٰذَا الْاَدْنٰی وَیَقُوْلُوْنَ سَیُغْفَرُ لَنَا ۚ وَاِنْ یَّاْتِهِمْ عَرَضٌ مِّثْلُهٗ یَاْخُذُوْهُ ؕ اَلَمْ یُؤْخَذْ عَلَیْهِمْ مِّیْثَاقُ الْكِتٰبِ اَنْ لَّا یَقُوْلُوْا عَلَی اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الْحَقَّ وَدَرَسُوْا مَا فِیْهِ ؕ وَالدَّارُ الْاٰخِرَةُ خَیْرٌ لِّلَّذِیْنَ یَتَّقُوْنَ ؕ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ ۟

Then they were succeeded by other generations who inherited the Scripture. They indulged in unlawful gains, claiming, “We will be forgiven ˹after all˺.” And if similar gain came their way, they would seize it. Was a covenant not taken from them in the Scripture that they would not say anything about Allah except the truth? And they were already well-versed in its teachings. But the ˹eternal˺ Home of the Hereafter is far better for those mindful ˹of Allah˺. Will you not then understand?

Verse 7:170

وَالَّذِیْنَ یُمَسِّكُوْنَ بِالْكِتٰبِ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ ؕ اِنَّا لَا نُضِیْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُصْلِحِیْنَ ۟

Wallaẓeena yumassikoona bil-Kitaabi wa-ʹaq̣aamuṣ Ṣalaata ʹinnaa laa- nuḍeeʻu ʹajral Muṣliḥeen.

As for those who firmly abide by the Scripture and establish prayer—surely We never discount the reward of those acting righteously.

Verse 7:171

وَاِذْ نَتَقْنَا الْجَبَلَ فَوْقَهُمْ كَاَنَّهٗ ظُلَّةٌ وَّظَنُّوْۤا اَنَّهٗ وَاقِعٌ بِهِمْ ۚ خُذُوْا مَاۤ اٰتَیْنٰكُمْ بِقُوَّةٍ وَّاذْكُرُوْا مَا فِیْهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُوْنَ ۟۠

And ˹remember˺ when We raised the mountain over them as if it were a cloud and they thought it would fall on them. ˹We said,˺ “Hold firmly to that ˹Scripture˺ which We have given you and observe its teachings so perhaps you will become mindful ˹of Allah˺.”

Verse 7:172

وَاِذْ اَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَنِیْۤ اٰدَمَ مِنْ ظُهُوْرِهِمْ ذُرِّیَّتَهُمْ وَاَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلٰۤی اَنْفُسِهِمْ ۚ اَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ ؕ قَالُوْا بَلٰی ۛۚ شَهِدْنَا ۛۚ اَنْ تَقُوْلُوْا یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ اِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هٰذَا غٰفِلِیْنَ ۟ۙ

And ˹remember˺ when your Lord brought forth from the loins of the children of Adam their descendants and had them testify regarding themselves. ˹Allah asked,˺ “Am I not your Lord?” They replied, “Yes, You are! We testify.” ˹He cautioned,˺ “Now you have no right to say on Judgment Day, ‘We were not aware of this.’

Verse 7:173

اَوْ تَقُوْلُوْۤا اِنَّمَاۤ اَشْرَكَ اٰبَآؤُنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا ذُرِّیَّةً مِّنْ بَعْدِهِمْ ۚ اَفَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ الْمُبْطِلُوْنَ ۟

Nor say, ‘It was our forefathers who had associated others ˹with Allah in worship˺ and we, as their descendants, followed in their footsteps. Will you then destroy us for the falsehood they invented?’”

Verse 7:174

وَكَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْاٰیٰتِ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ یَرْجِعُوْنَ ۟

Wa-kaẓaalika nufaṣṣilul ʹAayaati wa-laʻallahum yarjiʻoon.

This is how We make our signs clear, so perhaps they will return ˹to the Right Path˺.

Verse 7:175

وَاتْلُ عَلَیْهِمْ نَبَاَ الَّذِیْۤ اٰتَیْنٰهُ اٰیٰتِنَا فَانْسَلَخَ مِنْهَا فَاَتْبَعَهُ الشَّیْطٰنُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْغٰوِیْنَ ۟

Watlu ʻalayhim naba ʹallaẓeee ʹaataynaahu ʹaayaatinaa fañsalakha minhaa faʹatba ʻahush-Shayṭaanu fakaana minal g̣aaween.

And relate to them ˹O Prophet˺ the story of the one to whom We gave Our signs, but he abandoned them, so Satan took hold of him, and he became a deviant.

Verse 7:176

وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنٰهُ بِهَا وَلٰكِنَّهٗۤ اَخْلَدَ اِلَی الْاَرْضِ وَاتَّبَعَ هَوٰىهُ ۚ فَمَثَلُهٗ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ ۚ اِنْ تَحْمِلْ عَلَیْهِ یَلْهَثْ اَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ یَلْهَثْ ؕ ذٰلِكَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا ۚ فَاقْصُصِ الْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَفَكَّرُوْنَ ۟

Wa-law shiʹnaa larafaʻnaahu bihaa walaakinnahooo ʹakhlada ʹilal ʹarḍi wattabaʻa hawaah. Famas̤aluhoo kamas̤alil kalb: ʹiñ taḥmil ʻalayhi yalhas̤ ʹaw tatrukhu yalhas̤. Ẓaalika mas̤alul q̣awmil laẓeena kaẓẓaboo biʹAayaatinaa. Faq̣ṣuṣil q̣aṣaṣa laʻallahum yatafakkaroon.

If We had willed, We would have elevated him with Our signs, but he clung to this life—following his evil desires. His example is that of a dog: if you chase it away, it pants, and if you leave it, it ˹still˺ pants. This is the example of the people who deny Our signs. So narrate ˹to them˺ stories ˹of the past˺, so perhaps they will reflect.

Verse 7:177

سَآءَ مَثَلَا لْقَوْمُ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَاَنْفُسَهُمْ كَانُوْا یَظْلِمُوْنَ ۟

Saaaʹa mas̤alanil q̣awmul laẓeena kaẓẓaboo biʹAayaatinaa wa-ʹañfusahum kaanoo yaz̤̣limoon.

What an evil example of those who denied Our signs! They ˹only˺ wronged their own souls.

Verse 7:178

مَنْ یَّهْدِ اللّٰهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِیْ ۚ وَمَنْ یُّضْلِلْ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ ۟

Mañy yahdil laahu fahuwal muhtadee: wa-mañy yuḍlil faʹulaaaʹika humul khaasiroon.

Whoever Allah guides is truly guided. And whoever He leaves to stray, they are the ˹true˺ losers.

Verse 7:179

وَلَقَدْ ذَرَاْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِیْرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْاِنْسِ ۖؗ لَهُمْ قُلُوْبٌ لَّا یَفْقَهُوْنَ بِهَا ؗ وَلَهُمْ اَعْیُنٌ لَّا یُبْصِرُوْنَ بِهَا ؗ وَلَهُمْ اٰذَانٌ لَّا یَسْمَعُوْنَ بِهَا ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ كَالْاَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ اَضَلُّ ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْغٰفِلُوْنَ ۟

Indeed, We have destined many jinn and humans for Hell. They have hearts they do not understand with, eyes they do not see with, and ears they do not hear with. They are like cattle. In fact, they are even less guided! Such ˹people˺ are ˹entirely˺ heedless.

Verse 7:180

وَلِلّٰهِ الْاَسْمَآءُ الْحُسْنٰی فَادْعُوْهُ بِهَا ۪ وَذَرُوا الَّذِیْنَ یُلْحِدُوْنَ فِیْۤ اَسْمَآىِٕهٖ ؕ سَیُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟

Wa-lillaahil ʹAsmaaaʹul Ḥusnaa fadʻoohu bihaa. Waẓarul laẓeena yulḥidoona feee ʹAsmaaaʹih: sayujzawna maa- kaanoo yaʻmaloon.

Allah has the Most Beautiful Names. So call upon Him by them, and keep away from those who abuse His Names. They will be punished for what they used to do.

Verse 7:181

وَمِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَاۤ اُمَّةٌ یَّهْدُوْنَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهٖ یَعْدِلُوْنَ ۟۠

Wa-mimman khalaq̣naaa ʹummatuñy yahdoona bilḥaq̣q̣i wa-bihee yaʻdiloon.

And among those We created is a group that guides with the truth and establishes justice accordingly.

Verse 7:182

وَالَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُمْ مِّنْ حَیْثُ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟ۚۖ

Wallaẓeena kaẓẓaboo biʹAayaatinaa sanastadrijuhum min ḥays̤u laa- yaʻlamoon.

As for those who deny Our signs, We will gradually draw them to destruction in ways they cannot comprehend.

Verse 7:183

وَاُمْلِیْ لَهُمْ ۫ؕ اِنَّ كَیْدِیْ مَتِیْنٌ ۟

Wa-ʹumlee lahum: ʹinna kaydee mateen.

I ˹only˺ delay their end for a while, but My planning is flawless.

Verse 7:184

اَوَلَمْ یَتَفَكَّرُوْا ٚ مَا بِصَاحِبِهِمْ مِّنْ جِنَّةٍ ؕ اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا نَذِیْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ ۟

ʹAwalam yatafakkaroo, Maa- bi-Ṣaaḥibihim miñ jinnah; ʹin huwa ʹillaa naẓeerum mubeen.

Have they not ever given it a thought? Their fellow man is not insane. He is only sent with a clear warning.

Verse 7:185

اَوَلَمْ یَنْظُرُوْا فِیْ مَلَكُوْتِ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ شَیْءٍ ۙ وَّاَنْ عَسٰۤی اَنْ یَّكُوْنَ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ اَجَلُهُمْ ۚ فَبِاَیِّ حَدِیْثٍ بَعْدَهٗ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۟

Have they ever reflected on the wonders of the heavens and the earth, and everything Allah has created, and that perhaps their end is near? So what message after this ˹Quran˺ would they believe in?

Verse 7:186

مَنْ یُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَلَا هَادِیَ لَهٗ ؕ وَیَذَرُهُمْ فِیْ طُغْیَانِهِمْ یَعْمَهُوْنَ ۟

Mañy yuḍlilil laahu falaa haadiya lah: wa-yaẓaruhum fee ṭug̣yaanihim yaʻmahoon.

Whoever Allah allows to stray, none can guide, leaving them to wander blindly in their defiance.

Verse 7:187

یَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ اَیَّانَ مُرْسٰىهَا ؕ قُلْ اِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ رَبِّیْ ۚ لَا یُجَلِّیْهَا لِوَقْتِهَاۤ اِلَّا هُوَ ؔؕۘ ثَقُلَتْ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ؕ لَا تَاْتِیْكُمْ اِلَّا بَغْتَةً ؕ یَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ كَاَنَّكَ حَفِیٌّ عَنْهَا ؕ قُلْ اِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟

They ask you ˹O Prophet˺ regarding the Hour, “When will it be?” Say, “That knowledge is only with my Lord. He alone will reveal it when the time comes. It is too tremendous for the heavens and the earth and will only take you by surprise.” They ask you as if you had full knowledge of it. Say, “That knowledge is only with Allah, but most people do not know.”

Verse 7:188

قُلْ لَّاۤ اَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِیْ نَفْعًا وَّلَا ضَرًّا اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ اللّٰهُ ؕ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ اَعْلَمُ الْغَیْبَ لَاسْتَكْثَرْتُ مِنَ الْخَیْرِ ۛۖۚ وَمَا مَسَّنِیَ السُّوْٓءُ ۛۚ اِنْ اَنَا اِلَّا نَذِیْرٌ وَّبَشِیْرٌ لِّقَوْمٍ یُّؤْمِنُوْنَ ۟۠

Say, “I have no power to benefit or protect myself, except by the Will of Allah. If I had known the unknown, I would have benefited myself enormously, and no harm would have ever touched me. I am only a warner and deliverer of good news for those who believe.”

Verse 7:189

هُوَ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ نَّفْسٍ وَّاحِدَةٍ وَّجَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا لِیَسْكُنَ اِلَیْهَا ۚ فَلَمَّا تَغَشّٰىهَا حَمَلَتْ حَمْلًا خَفِیْفًا فَمَرَّتْ بِهٖ ۚ فَلَمَّاۤ اَثْقَلَتْ دَّعَوَا اللّٰهَ رَبَّهُمَا لَىِٕنْ اٰتَیْتَنَا صَالِحًا لَّنَكُوْنَنَّ مِنَ الشّٰكِرِیْنَ ۟

He is the One Who created you from a single soul, then from it made its spouse so he may find comfort in her. After he had been united with her, she carried a light burden that developed gradually. When it grew heavy, they prayed to Allah, their Lord, “If you grant us good offspring, we will certainly be grateful.”

Verse 7:190

فَلَمَّاۤ اٰتٰىهُمَا صَالِحًا جَعَلَا لَهٗ شُرَكَآءَ فِیْمَاۤ اٰتٰىهُمَا ۚ فَتَعٰلَی اللّٰهُ عَمَّا یُشْرِكُوْنَ ۟

Falammaaa ʹaataahumaa ṣaaliḥañ jaʻalaa lahoo shurakaaaʹa feemaaa ʹaataahumaa. Fataʻaalal laahu ʻammaa yushrikoon.

But when He granted their descendants good offspring, they associated false gods in what He has given them. Exalted is Allah above what they associate ˹with Him˺!

Verse 7:191

اَیُشْرِكُوْنَ مَا لَا یَخْلُقُ شَیْـًٔا وَّهُمْ یُخْلَقُوْنَ ۟ؗۖ

ʹA-yushrikoona Maa laa- yakhluq̣u shayʹañw wahum yukhlaq̣oon?

Do they associate ˹with Allah˺ those ˹idols˺ which cannot create anything, but are in fact created;

Verse 7:192

وَلَا یَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ لَهُمْ نَصْرًا وَّلَاۤ اَنْفُسَهُمْ یَنْصُرُوْنَ ۟

Wa-laa yastaṭeeʻoona lahum naṣrañw walaaa ʹañfusahum yañṣuroon.

which cannot help them, or even help themselves?

Verse 7:193

وَاِنْ تَدْعُوْهُمْ اِلَی الْهُدٰی لَا یَتَّبِعُوْكُمْ ؕ سَوَآءٌ عَلَیْكُمْ اَدَعَوْتُمُوْهُمْ اَمْ اَنْتُمْ صَامِتُوْنَ ۟

Wa-ʹiñ tadʻoohum ʹilal hudaa laa- yattabiʻookum. Sawaaaʹun ʻalaykum ʹa-daʻawtumoohum ʹam ʹañtum ṣaamitoon.

And if you ˹idolaters˺ call upon them for guidance, they cannot respond to you. It is all the same whether you call them or remain silent.

Verse 7:194

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ عِبَادٌ اَمْثَالُكُمْ فَادْعُوْهُمْ فَلْیَسْتَجِیْبُوْا لَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ ۟

ʹInnal laẓeena tadʻoona miñ doonil laahi ʻibaadun ʹams̤aalukum fadʻoohum fal-yastajeeboo lakum ʹiñ kuñtum ṣaadiq̣een!

Those ˹idols˺ you invoke besides Allah are created beings like yourselves. So call upon them and see if they will answer you, if your claims are true!

Verse 7:195

اَلَهُمْ اَرْجُلٌ یَّمْشُوْنَ بِهَاۤ ؗ اَمْ لَهُمْ اَیْدٍ یَّبْطِشُوْنَ بِهَاۤ ؗ اَمْ لَهُمْ اَعْیُنٌ یُّبْصِرُوْنَ بِهَاۤ ؗ اَمْ لَهُمْ اٰذَانٌ یَّسْمَعُوْنَ بِهَا ؕ قُلِ ادْعُوْا شُرَكَآءَكُمْ ثُمَّ كِیْدُوْنِ فَلَا تُنْظِرُوْنِ ۟

Do they have feet to walk with? Or hands to hold with? Or eyes to see with? Or ears to hear with? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Call upon your associate-gods and conspire against me without delay!

Verse 7:196

اِنَّ وَلِیِّ  اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْ نَزَّلَ الْكِتٰبَ ۖؗ وَهُوَ یَتَوَلَّی الصّٰلِحِیْنَ ۟

ʹInna Waliyyal laahul laẓee nazzalal Kitaaba wa-Huwa yatawallaṣ Ṣaaliḥeen.

“Indeed, my Protector is Allah Who has revealed this Book. For He ˹alone˺ protects the righteous.

Verse 7:197

وَالَّذِیْنَ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ لَا یَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ نَصْرَكُمْ وَلَاۤ اَنْفُسَهُمْ یَنْصُرُوْنَ ۟

Wallaẓeena tadʻoona miñ doonihee laa- yastaṭeeʻoona naṣrakum wa-laaa ʹañfusahum yañṣuroon.

But those ˹false gods˺ you call besides Him can neither help you nor even themselves.”

Verse 7:198

وَاِنْ تَدْعُوْهُمْ اِلَی الْهُدٰی لَا یَسْمَعُوْا ؕ وَتَرٰىهُمْ یَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَیْكَ وَهُمْ لَا یُبْصِرُوْنَ ۟

Wa-ʹiñ tadʻoohum ʹilal hudaa laa- yasmaʻoo. Wa-taraahum yañz̤̣uroona ʹilayka Wahum laa- yubṣiroon.

If you ˹idolaters˺ call them to guidance, they cannot hear. And you ˹O Prophet˺ may see them facing towards you, but they cannot see.

Verse 7:199

خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَاْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَاَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجٰهِلِیْنَ ۟

Khuẓil ʻafwa waʹmur bilʻurfi wa-ʹaʻriḍ ʻanil jaahileen.

Be gracious, enjoin what is right, and turn away from those who act ignorantly.

Verse 7:200

وَاِمَّا یَنْزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ ۟

Wa-ʹimmaa yañzag̣annaka minash Shayṭaani nazg̣uñ fastaʻiẓ billaah; ʹinnahoo Sameeʻun ʻAleem.

If you are tempted by Satan, then seek refuge with Allah. Surely He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Verse 7:201

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اتَّقَوْا اِذَا مَسَّهُمْ طٰٓىِٕفٌ مِّنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ تَذَكَّرُوْا فَاِذَا هُمْ مُّبْصِرُوْنَ ۟ۚ

ʹInnal laẓeenat taq̣aw ʹiẓaa massahum ṭaaaʹifum minash Shayṭaani taẓakkaroo faʹiẓaa hum mubṣiroon!

Indeed, when Satan whispers to those mindful ˹of Allah˺, they remember ˹their Lord˺ then they start to see ˹things˺ clearly.

Verse 7:202

وَاِخْوَانُهُمْ یَمُدُّوْنَهُمْ فِی الْغَیِّ ثُمَّ لَا یُقْصِرُوْنَ ۟

Wa-ʹikhwaanuhum yamuddoonahum fil g̣ayyi s̤umma laa- yuq̣ṣiroon.

But the devils persistently plunge their ˹human˺ associates deeper into wickedness, sparing no effort.

Verse 7:203

وَاِذَا لَمْ تَاْتِهِمْ بِاٰیَةٍ قَالُوْا لَوْلَا اجْتَبَیْتَهَا ؕ قُلْ اِنَّمَاۤ اَتَّبِعُ مَا یُوْحٰۤی اِلَیَّ مِنْ رَّبِّیْ ۚ هٰذَا بَصَآىِٕرُ مِنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَهُدًی وَّرَحْمَةٌ لِّقَوْمٍ یُّؤْمِنُوْنَ ۟

Wa-ʹiẓaa lam taʹtihim̃ biʹAayatiñ q̣aaloo law-laj tabaytahaa? Q̣ul ʹinnamaaa ʹattabiʻu maa- yooḥaaa ʹilayya mir Rabbee. Haaẓaa Baṣaaaʹiru mir Rabbikum wa-Hudañw wa-Raḥmatul liq̣awmiñy yuʹminoon.

If you ˹O Prophet˺ do not bring them a sign ˹which they demanded˺, they ask, “Why do you not make it yourself?” Say, “I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord. This ˹Quran˺ is an insight from your Lord—a guide and a mercy for those who believe.”

Verse 7:204

وَاِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْاٰنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوْا لَهٗ وَاَنْصِتُوْا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ ۟

Wa-ʹiẓaa q̣uriʹal Q̣urʹaanu fastamiʻoo lahoo wa-añṣitoo laʻallakum turḥamoon.

When the Quran is recited, listen to it attentively and be silent, so you may be shown mercy.

Verse 7:205

وَاذْكُرْ رَّبَّكَ فِیْ نَفْسِكَ تَضَرُّعًا وَّخِیْفَةً وَّدُوْنَ الْجَهْرِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْاٰصَالِ وَلَا تَكُنْ مِّنَ الْغٰفِلِیْنَ ۟

Waẓkur Rabbaka fee nafsika taḍarruʻañw wakheefatañw wadoonal jahri minal q̣awli bilg̣uduwwi wal-ʹaaṣaali wa-laa takum minal g̣aafileen.

Remember your Lord inwardly with humility and reverence and in a moderate tone of voice, both morning and evening. And do not be one of the heedless.

Verse 7:206

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ لَا یَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهٖ وَیُسَبِّحُوْنَهٗ وَلَهٗ یَسْجُدُوْنَ ۟

ʹInnal laẓeena ʻiñda Rabbika laa- yastakbiroona ʻan ʻibaadatihee wa-yusabbiḥoonahoo wa-lahoo yasjudoon,

Surely those ˹angels˺ nearest to your Lord are not too proud to worship Him. They glorify Him. And to Him they prostrate.
