• Al A’raf Ayah 1
  الٓمٓصٓ ١ Alif-Lãm-Mim-?ãd.
• Al A’raf Ayah 2
  كِتَـٰبٌ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ فَلَا يَكُن فِى صَدْرِكَ حَرَجٌ مِّنْهُ لِتُنذِرَ بِهِۦ وَذِكْرَىٰ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٢ ?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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 3
  ٱتَّبِعُواْ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُواْ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ‌ۗ قَلِيلاً مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ ٣ 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!
• Al A’raf Ayah 4
  وَكَم مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهَا فَجَآءَهَا بَأْسُنَا بَيَـٰتًا أَوْ هُمْ قَآئِلُونَ ٤ ?Imagine? how many societies We have destroyed! Our torment took them by surprise ?while sleeping? at night or midday.
• Al A’raf Ayah 5
  فَمَا كَانَ دَعْوَٮٰهُمْ إِذْ جَآءَهُم بَأْسُنَآ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ ٥ Their only cry—when overwhelmed by Our torment—was, “We have indeed been wrongdoers.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 6
  فَلَنَسْــَٔلَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَنَسْــَٔلَنَّ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ٦ We will surely question those who received messengers and We will question the messengers ?themselves?.
• Al A’raf Ayah 7
  فَلَنَقُصَّنَّ عَلَيْهِم بِعِلْمٍ‌ۖ وَمَا كُنَّا غَآئِبِينَ ٧ Then We will give them a full account with sure knowledge—for We were never absent.
• Al A’raf Ayah 8
  وَٱلْوَزْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْحَقُّ‌ۚ فَمَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٲزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ ٨ The weighing on that Day will be just. As for those whose scale will be heavy ?with good deeds?, ?only? they will be successful.
• Al A’raf Ayah 9
  وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٲزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا يَظْلِمُونَ ٩ But those whose scale is light, they have doomed themselves for wrongfully denying Our signs.
• Al A’raf Ayah 10
  وَلَقَدْ مَكَّنَّـٰكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَـٰيِشَ‌ۗ قَلِيلاً مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ ١٠ We have indeed established you on earth and provided you with a means of livelihood. ?Yet? you seldom give any thanks.
• Al A’raf Ayah 11
  وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ ثُمَّ صَوَّرْنَـٰكُمْ ثُمَّ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُواْ لِأَدَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓاْ إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ لَمْ يَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ ١١ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 12
  قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلَّا تَسْجُدَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَ‌ۖ قَالَ أَنَا۟ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِى مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن طِينٍ ١٢ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 13
  قَالَ فَٱهْبِطْ مِنْهَا فَمَا يَكُونُ لَكَ أَن تَتَكَبَّرَ فِيهَا فَٱخْرُجْ إِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰغِرِينَ ١٣ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 14
  قَالَ أَنظِرْنِىٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ١٤ He appealed, “Then delay my end until the Day of their resurrection.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 15
  قَالَ إِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنظَرِينَ ١٥ Allah said, “You are delayed ?until the appointed Day?.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 16
  قَالَ فَبِمَآ أَغْوَيْتَنِى لَأَقْعُدَنَّ لَهُمْ صِرَٲطَكَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ ١٦ He said, “For leaving me to stray I will lie in ambush for them on Your Straight Path.
• Al A’raf Ayah 17
  ثُمَّ لَأَتِيَنَّهُم مِّنۢ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ وَعَنْ أَيْمَـٰنِهِمْ وَعَن شَمَآئِلِهِمْ‌ۖ وَلَا تَجِدُ أَكْثَرَهُمْ شَـٰكِرِينَ ١٧ I will approach them from their front, their back, their right, their left, and then You will find most of them ungrateful.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 18
  قَالَ ٱخْرُجْ مِنْهَا مَذْءُومًا مَّدْحُورًا‌ۖ لَّمَن تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ١٨ Allah said, “Get out of Paradise! You are disgraced and rejected! I will certainly fill up Hell with you and your followers all together.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 19
  وَيَـٰٓــَٔـادَمُ ٱسْكُنْ أَنتَ وَزَوْجُكَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ فَكُلَا مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هَـٰذِهِ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ١٩ ?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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 20
  فَوَسْوَسَ لَهُمَا ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ لِيُبْدِىَ لَهُمَا مَا وُۥرِىَ عَنْهُمَا مِن سَوْءَٲتِهِمَا وَقَالَ مَا نَهَـٰكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنْ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ إِلَّآ أَن تَكُونَا مَلَكَيْنِ أَوْ تَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلْخَـٰلِدِينَ ٢٠ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 21
  وَقَاسَمَهُمَآ إِنِّى لَكُمَا لَمِنَ ٱلنَّـٰصِحِينَ ٢١ And he swore to them, “I am truly your sincere advisor.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 22
  فَدَلَّـٰهُمَا بِغُرُورٍ‌ۚ فَلَمَّا ذَاقَا ٱلشَّجَرَةَ بَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْءَٲتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ‌ۖ وَنَادَٮٰهُمَا رَبُّهُمَآ أَلَمْ أَنْهَكُمَا عَن تِلْكُمَا ٱلشَّجَرَةِ وَأَقُل لَّكُمَآ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ لَكُمَا عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ٢٢ 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?”
• Al A’raf Ayah 23
  قَالَا رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَآ أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ ٢٣ They replied, “Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will certainly be losers.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 24
  قَالَ ٱهْبِطُواْ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ‌ۖ وَلَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمَتَـٰعٌ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ ٢٤ Allah said, “Descend as enemies to each other. You will find in the earth a residence and provision for your appointed stay.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 25
  قَالَ فِيهَا تَحْيَوْنَ وَفِيهَا تَمُوتُونَ وَمِنْهَا تُخْرَجُونَ ٢٥ He added, “There you will live, there you will die, and from there you will be resurrected.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 26
  يَـٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ قَدْ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ لِبَاسًا يُوَٲرِى سَوْءَٲتِكُمْ وَرِيشًا‌ۖ وَلِبَاسُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ذَٲلِكَ خَيْرٌ‌ۚ ذَٲلِكَ مِنْ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ٢٦ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 27
  يَـٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ لَا يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ كَمَآ أَخْرَجَ أَبَوَيْكُم مِّنَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ يَنزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْءَٲتِهِمَآ‌ۗ إِنَّهُۥ يَرَٮٰكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيلُهُۥ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْ‌ۗ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ أَوْلِيَآءَ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٢٧ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 28
  وَإِذَا فَعَلُواْ فَـٰحِشَةً قَالُواْ وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهَآ ءَابَآءَنَا وَٱللَّهُ أَمَرَنَا بِهَا‌ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَأْمُرُ بِٱلْفَحْشَآءِ‌ۖ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٢٨ 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?”
• Al A’raf Ayah 29
  قُلْ أَمَرَ رَبِّى بِٱلْقِسْطِ‌ۖ وَأَقِيمُواْ وُجُوهَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَٱدْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ‌ۚ كَمَا بَدَأَكُمْ تَعُودُونَ ٢٩ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 30
  فَرِيقًا هَدَىٰ وَفَرِيقًا حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةُ‌ۗ إِنَّهُمُ ٱتَّخَذُواْ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ ٣٠ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 31
  ۞ يَـٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ خُذُواْ زِينَتَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَكُلُواْ وَٱشْرَبُواْ وَلَا تُسْرِفُوٓاْ‌ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ ٣١ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 32
  قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِۦ وَٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ مِنَ ٱلرِّزْقِ‌ۚ قُلْ هِىَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا خَالِصَةً يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ‌ۗ كَذَٲلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلْأَيَـٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ ٣٢ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 33
  قُلْ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّىَ ٱلْفَوَٲحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَٱلْإِثْمَ وَٱلْبَغْىَ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَأَن تُشْرِكُواْ بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِۦ سُلْطَـٰنًا وَأَن تَقُولُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٣٣ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 34
  وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ‌ۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً‌ۖ وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ ٣٤ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 35
  يَـٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ إِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ ءَايَـٰتِى‌ۙ فَمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰ وَأَصْلَحَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ ٣٥ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 36
  وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا وَٱسْتَكْبَرُواْ عَنْهَآ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ‌ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ ٣٦ But those who receive Our revelations with denial and arrogance will be the residents of the Fire. They will be there forever.
• Al A’raf Ayah 37
  فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِهِۦٓ‌ۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ يَنَالُهُمْ نَصِيبُهُم مِّنَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ‌ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُنَا يَتَوَفَّوْنَهُمْ قَالُوٓاْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ‌ۖ قَالُواْ ضَلُّواْ عَنَّا وَشَهِدُواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ كَـٰفِرِينَ ٣٧ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 38
  قَالَ ٱدْخُلُواْ فِىٓ أُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِ فِى ٱلنَّارِ‌ۖ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَتْ أُمَّةٌ لَّعَنَتْ أُخْتَهَا‌ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا ٱدَّارَكُواْ فِيهَا جَمِيعًا قَالَتْ أُخْرَٮٰهُمْ لِأُولَـٰهُمْ رَبَّنَا هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ أَضَلُّونَا فَـَٔـاتِهِمْ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ‌ۖ قَالَ لِكُلٍّ ضِعْفٌ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تَعْلَمُونَ ٣٨ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 39
  وَقَالَتْ أُولَـٰهُمْ لِأُخْرَٮٰهُمْ فَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍ فَذُوقُواْ ٱلْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْسِبُونَ ٣٩ Then the leaders will say to their followers, “You were no better than us! So taste the torment for what you used to commit.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 40
  إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا وَٱسْتَكْبَرُواْ عَنْهَا لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمْ أَبْوَٲبُ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَلَا يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ حَتَّىٰ يَلِجَ ٱلْجَمَلُ فِى سَمِّ ٱلْخِيَاطِ‌ۚ وَكَذَٲلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ٤٠ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 41
  لَهُم مِّن جَهَنَّمَ مِهَادٌ وَمِن فَوْقِهِمْ غَوَاشٍ‌ۚ وَكَذَٲلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٤١ Hell will be their bed; flames will be their cover. This is how We reward the wrongdoers.
• Al A’raf Ayah 42
  وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَآ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ‌ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ ٤٢ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 43
  وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِى صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهِمُ ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ‌ۖ وَقَالُواْ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى هَدَٮٰنَا لِهَـٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِىَ لَوْلَآ أَنْ هَدَٮٰنَا ٱللَّهُ‌ۖ لَقَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ‌ۖ وَنُودُوٓاْ أَن تِلْكُمُ ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُورِثْتُمُوهَا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ٤٣ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 44
  وَنَادَىٰٓ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ أَن قَدْ وَجَدْنَا مَا وَعَدَنَا رَبُّنَا حَقًّا فَهَلْ وَجَدتُّم مَّا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا‌ۖ قَالُواْ نَعَمْ‌ۚ فَأَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنُۢ بَيْنَهُمْ أَن لَّعْنَةُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٤٤ 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,
• Al A’raf Ayah 45
  ٱلَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا وَهُم بِٱلْأَخِرَةِ كَـٰفِرُونَ ٤٥ those who hindered ?others? from Allah’s Way, strived to make it ?appear? crooked, and disbelieved in the Hereafter.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 46
  وَبَيْنَهُمَا حِجَابٌ‌ۚ وَعَلَى ٱلْأَعْرَافِ رِجَالٌ يَعْرِفُونَ كُلاَّۢ بِسِيمَـٰهُمْ‌ۚ وَنَادَوْاْ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ أَن سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ‌ۚ لَمْ يَدْخُلُوهَا وَهُمْ يَطْمَعُونَ ٤٦ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 47
  ۞ وَإِذَا صُرِفَتْ أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ تِلْقَآءَ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلنَّارِ قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا مَعَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٤٧ When their eyes will turn towards the residents of Hell, they will pray, “Our Lord! Do not join us with the wrongdoing people.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 48
  وَنَادَىٰٓ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْأَعْرَافِ رِجَالاً يَعْرِفُونَهُم بِسِيمَـٰهُمْ قَالُواْ مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنكُمْ جَمْعُكُمْ وَمَا كُنتُمْ تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ٤٨ 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?!
• Al A’raf Ayah 49
  أَهَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَقْسَمْتُمْ لَا يَنَالُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ‌ۚ ٱدْخُلُواْ ٱلْجَنَّةَ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَآ أَنتُمْ تَحْزَنُونَ ٤٩ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 50
  وَنَادَىٰٓ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ أَنْ أَفِيضُواْ عَلَيْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمَآءِ أَوْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ‌ۚ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ حَرَّمَهُمَا عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ٥٠ 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,
• Al A’raf Ayah 51
  ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ دِينَهُمْ لَهْوًا وَلَعِبًا وَغَرَّتْهُمُ ٱلْحَيَوٲةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا‌ۚ فَٱلْيَوْمَ نَنسَـٰهُمْ كَمَا نَسُواْ لِقَآءَ يَوْمِهِمْ هَـٰذَا وَمَا كَانُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ ٥١ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 52
  وَلَقَدْ جِئْنَـٰهُم بِكِتَـٰبٍ فَصَّلْنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ هُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ٥٢ We have certainly brought them a Book which We explained with knowledge—a guide and mercy for those who believe.
• Al A’raf Ayah 53
  هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا تَأْوِيلَهُۥ‌ۚ يَوْمَ يَأْتِى تَأْوِيلُهُۥ يَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ نَسُوهُ مِن قَبْلُ قَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ فَهَل لَّنَا مِن شُفَعَآءَ فَيَشْفَعُواْ لَنَآ أَوْ نُرَدُّ فَنَعْمَلَ غَيْرَ ٱلَّذِى كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ‌ۚ قَدْ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ ٥٣ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 54
  إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ يُغْشِى ٱلَّيْلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهُۥ حَثِيثًا وَٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ وَٱلنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَٲتِۭ بِأَمْرِهِۦٓ‌ۗ أَلَا لَهُ ٱلْخَلْقُ وَٱلْأَمْرُ‌ۗ تَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٥٤ 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!
• Al A’raf Ayah 55
  ٱدْعُواْ رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًا وَخُفْيَةً‌ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ ٥٥ Call upon your Lord humbly and secretly. Surely He does not like the transgressors.
• Al A’raf Ayah 56
  وَلَا تُفْسِدُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَـٰحِهَا وَٱدْعُوهُ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا‌ۚ إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِّنَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٥٦ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 57
  وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُرْسِلُ ٱلرِّيَـٰحَ بُشْرَۢا بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَحْمَتِهِۦ‌ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَقَلَّتْ سَحَابًا ثِقَالاً سُقْنَـٰهُ لِبَلَدٍ مَّيِّتٍ فَأَنزَلْنَا بِهِ ٱلْمَآءَ فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِۦ مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٲتِ‌ۚ كَذَٲلِكَ نُخْرِجُ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ ٥٧ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 58
  وَٱلْبَلَدُ ٱلطَّيِّبُ يَخْرُجُ نَبَاتُهُۥ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِۦ‌ۖ وَٱلَّذِى خَبُثَ لَا يَخْرُجُ إِلَّا نَكِدًا‌ۚ كَذَٲلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلْأَيَـٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَشْكُرُونَ ٥٨ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 59
  لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ فَقَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥٓ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ ٥٩ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 60
  قَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنَّا لَنَرَٮٰكَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ٦٠ But the chiefs of his people said, “We surely see that you are clearly misguided.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 61

• Al A’raf Ayah 62
  أُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَـٰلَـٰتِ رَبِّى وَأَنصَحُ لَكُمْ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٦٢ conveying to you my Lord’s messages and giving you ?sincere? advice. And I know from Allah what you do not know.
• Al A’raf Ayah 63

• Al A’raf Ayah 65
  ۞ وَإِلَىٰ عَادٍ أَخَاهُمْ هُودًا‌ۗ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥٓ‌ۚ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ٦٥ 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?”
• Al A’raf Ayah 64
  فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ وَأَغْرَقْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَآ‌ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ قَوْمًا عَمِينَ ٦٤ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 66
  قَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنَّا لَنَرَٮٰكَ فِى سَفَاهَةٍ وَإِنَّا لَنَظُنُّكَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ ٦٦ The disbelieving chiefs of his people responded, “We surely see you as a fool, and we certainly think you are a liar.”

  إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ مُتَبَّرٌ مَّا هُمْ فِيهِ وَبَـٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ١٣٩ What they follow is certainly doomed to destruction and their deeds are in vain.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 140

• Al A’raf Ayah 141
  وَإِذْ أَنجَيْنَـٰكُم مِّنْ ءَالِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَسُومُونَكُمْ سُوٓءَ ٱلْعَذَابِ‌ۖ يُقَتِّلُونَ أَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَآءَكُمْ‌ۚ وَفِى ذَٲلِكُم بَلَآءٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَظِيمٌ ١٤١ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 142
  ۞ وَوَٲعَدْنَا مُوسَىٰ ثَلَـٰثِينَ لَيْلَةً وَأَتْمَمْنَـٰهَا بِعَشْرٍ فَتَمَّ مِيقَـٰتُ رَبِّهِۦٓ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً‌ۚ وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِأَخِيهِ هَـٰرُونَ ٱخْلُفْنِى فِى قَوْمِى وَأَصْلِحْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ١٤٢ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 143
  وَلَمَّا جَآءَ مُوسَىٰ لِمِيقَـٰتِنَا وَكَلَّمَهُۥ رَبُّهُۥ قَالَ رَبِّ أَرِنِىٓ أَنظُرْ إِلَيْكَ‌ۚ قَالَ لَن تَرَٮٰنِى وَلَـٰكِنِ ٱنظُرْ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ فَإِنِ ٱسْتَقَرَّ مَكَانَهُۥ فَسَوْفَ تَرَٮٰنِى‌ۚ فَلَمَّا تَجَلَّىٰ رَبُّهُۥ لِلْجَبَلِ جَعَلَهُۥ دَكًّا وَخَرَّ مُوسَىٰ صَعِقًا‌ۚ فَلَمَّآ أَفَاقَ قَالَ سُبْحَـٰنَكَ تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَأَنَا۟ أَوَّلُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ١٤٣ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 144
  قَالَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنِّى ٱصْطَفَيْتُكَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ بِرِسَـٰلَـٰتِى وَبِكَلَـٰمِى فَخُذْ مَآ ءَاتَيْتُكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ ١٤٤ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 145
  وَكَتَبْنَا لَهُۥ فِى ٱلْأَلْوَاحِ مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مَّوْعِظَةً وَتَفْصِيلاً لِّكُلِّ شَىْءٍ فَخُذْهَا بِقُوَّةٍ وَأْمُرْ قَوْمَكَ يَأْخُذُواْ بِأَحْسَنِهَا‌ۚ سَأُوْرِيكُمْ دَارَ ٱلْفَـٰسِقِينَ ١٤٥ 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.

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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 147
  وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا وَلِقَآءِ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ‌ۚ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ١٤٧ 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?”
• Al A’raf Ayah 148
  وَٱتَّخَذَ قَوْمُ مُوسَىٰ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ مِنْ حُلِيِّهِمْ عِجْلاً جَسَدًا لَّهُۥ خُوَارٌ‌ۚ أَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّهُۥ لَا يُكَلِّمُهُمْ وَلَا يَهْدِيهِمْ سَبِيلاً‌ۘ ٱتَّخَذُوهُ وَكَانُواْ ظَـٰلِمِينَ ١٤٨ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 149
  وَلَمَّا سُقِطَ فِىٓ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَرَأَوْاْ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ ضَلُّواْ قَالُواْ لَئِن لَّمْ يَرْحَمْنَا رَبُّنَا وَيَغْفِرْ لَنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ ١٤٩ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 150
  وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ غَضْبَـٰنَ أَسِفًا قَالَ بِئْسَمَا خَلَفْتُمُونِى مِنۢ بَعْدِىٓ‌ۖ أَعَجِلْتُمْ أَمْرَ رَبِّكُمْ‌ۖ وَأَلْقَى ٱلْأَلْوَاحَ وَأَخَذَ بِرَأْسِ أَخِيهِ يَجُرُّهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِ‌ۚ قَالَ ٱبْنَ أُمَّ إِنَّ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱسْتَضْعَفُونِى وَكَادُواْ يَقْتُلُونَنِى فَلَا تُشْمِتْ بِىَ ٱلْأَعْدَآءَ وَلَا تَجْعَلْنِى مَعَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ١٥٠ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 151
  قَالَ رَبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِأَخِى وَأَدْخِلْنَا فِى رَحْمَتِكَ‌ۖ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٲحِمِينَ ١٥١ Moses prayed, “My Lord! Forgive me and my brother! And admit us into Your mercy. You are the Most Merciful of the merciful.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 152
  إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ ٱلْعِجْلَ سَيَنَالُهُمْ غَضَبٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَذِلَّةٌ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٲةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا‌ۚ وَكَذَٲلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُفْتَرِينَ ١٥٢ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 153
  وَٱلَّذِينَ عَمِلُواْ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتِ ثُمَّ تَابُواْ مِنۢ بَعْدِهَا وَءَامَنُوٓاْ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ١٥٣ But those who commit evil, then repent and become ?true? believers, your Lord will certainly be All-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.
• Al A’raf Ayah 154
  وَلَمَّا سَكَتَ عَن مُّوسَى ٱلْغَضَبُ أَخَذَ ٱلْأَلْوَاحَ‌ۖ وَفِى نُسْخَتِهَا هُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِرَبِّهِمْ يَرْهَبُونَ ١٥٤ When Moses’ anger subsided, he took up the Tablets whose text contained guidance and mercy for those who stand in awe of their Lord.
• Al A’raf Ayah 155
  وَٱخْتَارَ مُوسَىٰ قَوْمَهُۥ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلاً لِّمِيقَـٰتِنَا‌ۖ فَلَمَّآ أَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلرَّجْفَةُ قَالَ رَبِّ لَوْ شِئْتَ أَهْلَكْتَهُم مِّن قَبْلُ وَإِيَّـٰىَ‌ۖ أَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ مِنَّآ‌ۖ إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا فِتْنَتُكَ تُضِلُّ بِهَا مَن تَشَآءُ وَتَهْدِى مَن تَشَآءُ‌ۖ أَنتَ وَلِيُّنَا فَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَٱرْحَمْنَا‌ۖ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْغَـٰفِرِينَ ١٥٥ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 156
  ۞ وَٱكْتُبْ لَنَا فِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِى ٱلْأَخِرَةِ إِنَّا هُدْنَآ إِلَيْكَ‌ۚ قَالَ عَذَابِىٓ أُصِيبُ بِهِۦ مَنْ أَشَآءُ‌ۖ وَرَحْمَتِى وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ‌ۚ فَسَأَكْتُبُهَا لِلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ وَيُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٲةَ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ١٥٦ 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.

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.”

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.

  وَقَطَّعْنَـٰهُمُ ٱثْنَتَىْ عَشْرَةَ أَسْبَاطًا أُمَمًا‌ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱسْتَسْقَـٰهُ قَوْمُهُۥٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْحَجَرَ‌ۖ فَٱنۢبَجَسَتْ مِنْهُ ٱثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًا‌ۖ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَهُمْ‌ۚ وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْغَمَـٰمَ وَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلْوَىٰ‌ۖ كُلُواْ مِن طَيِّبَـٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنَـٰكُمْ‌ۚ وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ١٦٠ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 161
  وَإِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱسْكُنُواْ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْقَرْيَةَ وَكُلُواْ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ وَقُولُواْ حِطَّةٌ وَٱدْخُلُواْ ٱلْبَابَ سُجَّدًا نَّغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطِيٓـَٔـٰتِكُمْ‌ۚ سَنَزِيدُ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ١٦١ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 162
  فَبَدَّلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنْهُمْ قَوْلاً غَيْرَ ٱلَّذِى قِيلَ لَهُمْ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِجْزًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَظْلِمُونَ ١٦٢ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 163
  وَسْــَٔلْهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلَّتِى كَانَتْ حَاضِرَةَ ٱلْبَحْرِ إِذْ يَعْدُونَ فِى ٱلسَّبْتِ إِذْ تَأْتِيهِمْ حِيتَانُهُمْ يَوْمَ سَبْتِهِمْ شُرَّعًا وَيَوْمَ لَا يَسْبِتُونَ‌ۙ لَا تَأْتِيهِمْ‌ۚ كَذَٲلِكَ نَبْلُوهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفْسُقُونَ ١٦٣ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 164
  وَإِذْ قَالَتْ أُمَّةٌ مِّنْهُمْ لِمَ تَعِظُونَ قَوْمًا‌ۙ ٱللَّهُ مُهْلِكُهُمْ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا‌ۖ قَالُواْ مَعْذِرَةً إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ ١٦٤ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 165
  فَلَمَّا نَسُواْ مَا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهِۦٓ أَنجَيْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلسُّوٓءِ وَأَخَذْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ بِعَذَابِۭ بَــِٔيسِۭ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفْسُقُونَ ١٦٥ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 166
  فَلَمَّا عَتَوْاْ عَن مَّا نُهُواْ عَنْهُ قُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُواْ قِرَدَةً خَـٰسِــِٔينَ ١٦٦ But when they stubbornly persisted in violation, We said to them, “Be disgraced apes!”
• Al A’raf Ayah 167
  وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكَ لَيَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ مَن يَسُومُهُمْ سُوٓءَ ٱلْعَذَابِ‌ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَسَرِيعُ ٱلْعِقَابِ‌ۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ١٦٧ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 168
  وَقَطَّعْنَـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أُمَمًا‌ۖ مِّنْهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰلِحُونَ وَمِنْهُمْ دُونَ ذَٲلِكَ‌ۖ وَبَلَوْنَـٰهُم بِٱلْحَسَنَـٰتِ وَٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ١٦٨ 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?.
• Al A’raf Ayah 169
  فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ وَرِثُواْ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ يَأْخُذُونَ عَرَضَ هَـٰذَا ٱلْأَدْنَىٰ وَيَقُولُونَ سَيُغْفَرُ لَنَا وَإِن يَأْتِهِمْ عَرَضٌ مِّثْلُهُۥ يَأْخُذُوهُ‌ۚ أَلَمْ يُؤْخَذْ عَلَيْهِم مِّيثَـٰقُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ أَن لَّا يَقُولُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلْحَقَّ وَدَرَسُواْ مَا فِيهِ‌ۗ وَٱلدَّارُ ٱلْأَخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ‌ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ١٦٩ 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?
• Al A’raf Ayah 170
  وَٱلَّذِينَ يُمَسِّكُونَ بِٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٲةَ إِنَّا لَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُصْلِحِينَ ١٧٠ As for those who firmly abide by the Scripture and establish prayer—surely We never discount the reward of those acting righteously.
• Al A’raf Ayah 171
  ۞ وَإِذْ نَتَقْنَا ٱلْجَبَلَ فَوْقَهُمْ كَأَنَّهُۥ ظُلَّةٌ وَظَنُّوٓاْ أَنَّهُۥ وَاقِعُۢ بِهِمْ خُذُواْ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٰكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَٱذْكُرُواْ مَا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ ١٧١ 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?.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 172
  وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنۢ بَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ‌ۖ قَالُواْ بَلَىٰ‌ۛ شَهِدْنَآ‌ۛ أَن تَقُولُواْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَـٰذَا غَـٰفِلِينَ ١٧٢ 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.’
• Al A’raf Ayah 173
  أَوْ تَقُولُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أَشْرَكَ ءَابَآؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا ذُرِّيَّةً مِّنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ‌ۖ أَفَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ ٱلْمُبْطِلُونَ ١٧٣ 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?’”
• Al A’raf Ayah 174
  وَكَذَٲلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلْأَيَـٰتِ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ١٧٤ This is how We make our signs clear, so perhaps they will return ?to the Right Path?.
• Al A’raf Ayah 176
  وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنَـٰهُ بِهَا وَلَـٰكِنَّهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَٮٰهُ‌ۚ فَمَثَلُهُۥ كَمَثَلِ ٱلْكَلْبِ إِن تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْهِ يَلْهَثْ أَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ يَلْهَث‌ۚ ذَّٲلِكَ مَثَلُ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا‌ۚ فَٱقْصُصِ ٱلْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ١٧٦ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 175
  وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ ٱلَّذِىٓ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ ءَايَـٰتِنَا فَٱنسَلَخَ مِنْهَا فَأَتْبَعَهُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْغَاوِينَ ١٧٥ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 177
  سَآءَ مَثَلاً ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا وَأَنفُسَهُمْ كَانُواْ يَظْلِمُونَ ١٧٧ What an evil example of those who denied Our signs! They ?only? wronged their own souls.
• Al A’raf Ayah 178
  مَن يَهْدِ ٱللَّهُ فَهُوَ ٱلْمُهْتَدِى‌ۖ وَمَن يُضْلِلْ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ ١٧٨ Whoever Allah guides is truly guided. And whoever He leaves to stray, they are the ?true? losers.
• Al A’raf Ayah 179
  وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِ‌ۖ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ لَّا يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ ءَاذَانٌ لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَآ‌ۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ كَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ‌ۚ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰفِلُونَ ١٧٩ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 180
  وَلِلَّهِ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ فَٱدْعُوهُ بِهَا‌ۖ وَذَرُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِىٓ أَسْمَـٰٓئِهِۦ‌ۚ سَيُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ١٨٠ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 181
  وَمِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَبِهِۦ يَعْدِلُونَ ١٨١ And among those We created is a group that guides with the truth and establishes justice accordingly.
• Al A’raf Ayah 182
  وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ١٨٢ As for those who deny Our signs, We will gradually draw them to destruction in ways they cannot comprehend.
• Al A’raf Ayah 183
  وَأُمْلِى لَهُمْ‌ۚ إِنَّ كَيْدِى مَتِينٌ ١٨٣ I ?only? delay their end for a while, but My planning is flawless.
• Al A’raf Ayah 184
  أَوَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرُواْ‌ۗ مَا بِصَاحِبِهِم مِّن جِنَّةٍ‌ۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ١٨٤ Have they not ever given it a thought? Their fellow man is not insane. He is only sent with a clear warning.
• Al A’raf Ayah 187
  يَسْــَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَـٰهَا‌ۖ قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّى‌ۖ لَا يُجَلِّيهَا لِوَقْتِهَآ إِلَّا هُوَ‌ۚ ثَقُلَتْ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ‌ۚ لَا تَأْتِيكُمْ إِلَّا بَغْتَةً‌ۗ يَسْــَٔلُونَكَ كَأَنَّكَ حَفِىٌّ عَنْهَا‌ۖ قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ١٨٧ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 186
  مَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَا هَادِىَ لَهُۥ‌ۚ وَيَذَرُهُمْ فِى طُغْيَـٰنِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ ١٨٦ Whoever Allah allows to stray, none can guide, leaving them to wander blindly in their defiance.
• Al A’raf Ayah 185
  أَوَلَمْ يَنظُرُواْ فِى مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَىْءٍ وَأَنْ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ قَدِ ٱقْتَرَبَ أَجَلُهُمْ‌ۖ فَبِأَىِّ حَدِيثِۭ بَعْدَهُۥ يُؤْمِنُونَ ١٨٥ 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?
• Al A’raf Ayah 188
  قُل لَّآ أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِى نَفْعًا وَلَا ضَرًّا إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ‌ۚ وَلَوْ كُنتُ أَعْلَمُ ٱلْغَيْبَ لَٱسْتَكْثَرْتُ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَمَا مَسَّنِىَ ٱلسُّوٓءُ‌ۚ إِنْ أَنَا۟ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ وَبَشِيرٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ١٨٨ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 189
  ۞ هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَٲحِدَةٍ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا لِيَسْكُنَ إِلَيْهَا‌ۖ فَلَمَّا تَغَشَّـٰهَا حَمَلَتْ حَمْلاً خَفِيفًا فَمَرَّتْ بِهِۦ‌ۖ فَلَمَّآ أَثْقَلَت دَّعَوَا ٱللَّهَ رَبَّهُمَا لَئِنْ ءَاتَيْتَنَا صَـٰلِحًا لَّنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ ١٨٩ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 190
  فَلَمَّآ ءَاتَـٰهُمَا صَـٰلِحًا جَعَلَا لَهُۥ شُرَكَآءَ فِيمَآ ءَاتَـٰهُمَا‌ۚ فَتَعَـٰلَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ١٩٠ 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?!
• Al A’raf Ayah 191
  أَيُشْرِكُونَ مَا لَا يَخْلُقُ شَيْــًٔا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ ١٩١ Do they associate ?with Allah? those ?idols? which cannot create anything, but are in fact created;
• Al A’raf Ayah 192
  وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ لَهُمْ نَصْرًا وَلَآ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَنصُرُونَ ١٩٢ which cannot help them, or even help themselves?
• Al A’raf Ayah 193
  وَإِن تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰ لَا يَتَّبِعُوكُمْ‌ۚ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ أَدَعَوْتُمُوهُمْ أَمْ أَنتُمْ صَـٰمِتُونَ ١٩٣ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 194
  إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ عِبَادٌ أَمْثَالُكُمْ‌ۖ فَٱدْعُوهُمْ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُواْ لَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ١٩٤ 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!
• Al A’raf Ayah 195
  أَلَهُمْ أَرْجُلٌ يَمْشُونَ بِهَآ‌ۖ أَمْ لَهُمْ أَيْدٍ يَبْطِشُونَ بِهَآ‌ۖ أَمْ لَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَآ‌ۖ أَمْ لَهُمْ ءَاذَانٌ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا‌ۗ قُلِ ٱدْعُواْ شُرَكَآءَكُمْ ثُمَّ كِيدُونِ فَلَا تُنظِرُونِ ١٩٥ 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!
• Al A’raf Ayah 196
  إِنَّ وَلِــِّۧىَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى نَزَّلَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ‌ۖ وَهُوَ يَتَوَلَّى ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ١٩٦ “Indeed, my Protector is Allah Who has revealed this Book. For He ?alone? protects the righteous.
• Al A’raf Ayah 197
  وَٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَكُمْ وَلَآ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَنصُرُونَ ١٩٧ But those ?false gods? you call besides Him can neither help you nor even themselves.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 198
  وَإِن تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰ لَا يَسْمَعُواْ‌ۖ وَتَرَٮٰهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ ١٩٨ If you ?idolaters? call them to guidance, they cannot hear. And you ?O Prophet? may see them facing towards you, but they cannot see.
• Al A’raf Ayah 199
  خُذِ ٱلْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِٱلْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ ٱلْجَـٰهِلِينَ ١٩٩ Be gracious, enjoin what is right, and turn away from those who act ignorantly.
• Al A’raf Ayah 200
  وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ نَزْغٌ فَٱسْتَعِذْ بِٱللَّهِ‌ۚ إِنَّهُۥ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ٢٠٠ If you are tempted by Satan, then seek refuge with Allah. Surely He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
• Al A’raf Ayah 201
  إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوْاْ إِذَا مَسَّهُمْ طَـٰٓئِفٌ مِّنَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ تَذَكَّرُواْ فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْصِرُونَ ٢٠١ Indeed, when Satan whispers to those mindful ?of Allah?, they remember ?their Lord? then they start to see ?things? clearly.
• Al A’raf Ayah 202
  وَإِخْوَٲنُهُمْ يَمُدُّونَهُمْ فِى ٱلْغَىِّ ثُمَّ لَا يُقْصِرُونَ ٢٠٢ But the devils persistently plunge their ?human? associates deeper into wickedness, sparing no effort.
• Al A’raf Ayah 203
  وَإِذَا لَمْ تَأْتِهِم بِـَٔـايَةٍ قَالُواْ لَوْلَا ٱجْتَبَيْتَهَا‌ۚ قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَتَّبِعُ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ مِن رَّبِّى‌ۚ هَـٰذَا بَصَآئِرُ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ٢٠٣ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 204
  وَإِذَا قُرِئَ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ فَٱسْتَمِعُواْ لَهُۥ وَأَنصِتُواْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ ٢٠٤ When the Quran is recited, listen to it attentively and be silent, so you may be shown mercy.
• Al A’raf Ayah 205
  وَٱذْكُر رَّبَّكَ فِى نَفْسِكَ تَضَرُّعًا وَخِيفَةً وَدُونَ ٱلْجَهْرِ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ بِٱلْغُدُوِّ وَٱلْأَصَالِ وَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْغَـٰفِلِينَ ٢٠٥ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 206
  إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَيُسَبِّحُونَهُۥ وَلَهُۥ يَسْجُدُونَ ۩ ٢٠٦ Surely those ?angels? nearest to your Lord are not too proud to worship Him. They glorify Him. And to Him they prostrate.
• Al A’raf Ayah 68
  أُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَـٰلَـٰتِ رَبِّى وَأَنَا۟ لَكُمْ نَاصِحٌ أَمِينٌ ٦٨ conveying to you my Lord’s messages. And I am your sincere advisor.
• Al A’raf Ayah 69
  أَوَعَجِبْتُمْ أَن جَآءَكُمْ ذِكْرٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِّنكُمْ لِيُنذِرَكُمْ‌ۚ وَٱذْكُرُوٓاْ إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَآءَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَزَادَكُمْ فِى ٱلْخَلْقِ بَصْۜطَةً‌ۖ فَٱذْكُرُوٓاْ ءَالَآءَ ٱللَّهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ ٦٩ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 70
  قَالُوٓاْ أَجِئْتَنَا لِنَعْبُدَ ٱللَّهَ وَحْدَهُۥ وَنَذَرَ مَا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَا‌ۖ فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ ٧٠ 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!”
• Al A’raf Ayah 71
  قَالَ قَدْ وَقَعَ عَلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ رِجْسٌ وَغَضَبٌ‌ۖ أَتُجَـٰدِلُونَنِى فِىٓ أَسْمَآءٍ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّا نَزَّلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَـٰنٍ‌ۚ فَٱنتَظِرُوٓاْ إِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُنتَظِرِينَ ٧١ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 72
  فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَقَطَعْنَا دَابِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا‌ۖ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُؤْمِنِينَ ٧٢ So We saved him and those with him by Our mercy and uprooted those who denied Our signs. They were not believers.
• Al A’raf Ayah 73
  وَإِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَـٰلِحًا‌ۗ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥ‌ۖ قَدْ جَآءَتْكُم بَيِّنَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ‌ۖ هَـٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةُ ٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ ءَايَةً‌ۖ فَذَرُوهَا تَأْكُلْ فِىٓ أَرْضِ ٱللَّهِ‌ۖ وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ٧٣ And to the people of Thamûd We sent their brother ?âli?. 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 76
  قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوٓاْ إِنَّا بِٱلَّذِىٓ ءَامَنتُم بِهِۦ كَـٰفِرُونَ ٧٦ The arrogant said, “We surely reject what you believe in.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 75
  قَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُواْ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُواْ لِمَنْ ءَامَنَ مِنْهُمْ أَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ صَـٰلِحًا مُّرْسَلٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ‌ۚ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا بِمَآ أُرْسِلَ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنُونَ ٧٥ The arrogant chiefs of his people asked the lowly who believed among them, “Are you certain that ?âli? has been sent by his Lord?” They replied, “We certainly believe in what he has been sent with.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 74
  وَٱذْكُرُوٓاْ إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَآءَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ عَادٍ وَبَوَّأَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِن سُهُولِهَا قُصُورًا وَتَنْحِتُونَ ٱلْجِبَالَ بُيُوتًا‌ۖ فَٱذْكُرُوٓاْ ءَالَآءَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا تَعْثَوْاْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ ٧٤ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 77
  فَعَقَرُواْ ٱلنَّاقَةَ وَعَتَوْاْ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ وَقَالُواْ يَـٰصَـٰلِحُ ٱئْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ٧٧ Then they killed the she-camel—defying their Lord’s command—and challenged ??âli??, “Bring us what you threaten us with, if you are ?truly? one of the messengers.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 78
  فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلرَّجْفَةُ فَأَصْبَحُواْ فِى دَارِهِمْ جَـٰثِمِينَ ٧٨ Then an ?overwhelming? earthquake struck them, and they fell lifeless in their homes.
• Al A’raf Ayah 79
  فَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّى وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تُحِبُّونَ ٱلنَّـٰصِحِينَ ٧٩ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 80
  وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلْفَـٰحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنَ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٨٠ And ?remember? when Lot scolded ?the men of? his people, ?saying,? “Do you commit a shameful deed that no man has ever done before?
• Al A’raf Ayah 81
  إِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّن دُونِ ٱلنِّسَآءِ‌ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّسْرِفُونَ ٨١ You lust after men instead of women! You are certainly transgressors.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 82
  وَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓاْ أَخْرِجُوهُم مِّن قَرْيَتِكُمْ‌ۖ إِنَّهُمْ أُنَاسٌ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ ٨٢ But his people’s only response was to say, “Expel them from your land! They are a people who wish to remain chaste!”
• Al A’raf Ayah 83
  فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَهُۥ كَانَتْ مِنَ ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ ٨٣ So We saved him and his family except his wife, who was one of the doomed.
• Al A’raf Ayah 84
  وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًا‌ۖ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ٨٤ We poured upon them a rain ?of brimstone?. See what was the end of the wicked!
• Al A’raf Ayah 85
  وَإِلَىٰ مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًا‌ۗ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥ‌ۖ قَدْ جَآءَتْكُم بَيِّنَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ‌ۖ فَأَوْفُواْ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَٱلْمِيزَانَ وَلَا تَبْخَسُواْ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تُفْسِدُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَـٰحِهَا‌ۚ ذَٲلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ٨٥ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 86
  وَلَا تَقْعُدُواْ بِكُلِّ صِرَٲطٍ تُوعِدُونَ وَتَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِهِۦ وَتَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا‌ۚ وَٱذْكُرُوٓاْ إِذْ كُنتُمْ قَلِيلاً فَكَثَّرَكُمْ‌ۖ وَٱنظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ٨٦ 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!
• Al A’raf Ayah 87
  وَإِن كَانَ طَآئِفَةٌ مِّنكُمْ ءَامَنُواْ بِٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِۦ وَطَآئِفَةٌ لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُواْ فَٱصْبِرُواْ حَتَّىٰ يَحْكُمَ ٱللَّهُ بَيْنَنَا‌ۚ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلْحَـٰكِمِينَ ٨٧ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 88
  ۞ قَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُواْ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكَ يَـٰشُعَيْبُ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَكَ مِن قَرْيَتِنَآ أَوْ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِى مِلَّتِنَا‌ۚ قَالَ أَوَلَوْ كُنَّا كَـٰرِهِينَ ٨٨ 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?
• Al A’raf Ayah 89
  قَدِ ٱفْتَرَيْنَا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا إِنْ عُدْنَا فِى مِلَّتِكُم بَعْدَ إِذْ نَجَّـٰنَا ٱللَّهُ مِنْهَا‌ۚ وَمَا يَكُونُ لَنَآ أَن نَّعُودَ فِيهَآ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّنَا‌ۚ وَسِعَ رَبُّنَا كُلَّ شَىْءٍ عِلْمًا‌ۚ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا‌ۚ رَبَّنَا ٱفْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْفَـٰتِحِينَ ٨٩ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 90
  وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ لَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتُمْ شُعَيْبًا إِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّخَـٰسِرُونَ ٩٠ The disbelieving chiefs of his people threatened, “If you follow Shu’aib, you will surely be losers!”
• Al A’raf Ayah 91
  فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلرَّجْفَةُ فَأَصْبَحُواْ فِى دَارِهِمْ جَـٰثِمِينَ ٩١ Then an ?overwhelming? earthquake struck them and they fell lifeless in their homes.
• Al A’raf Ayah 92
  ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ شُعَيْبًا كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْاْ فِيهَا‌ۚ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ شُعَيْبًا كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ ٩٢ Those who rejected Shu’aib were ?wiped out? as if they had never lived there. Those who rejected Shu’aib were the true losers.
• Al A’raf Ayah 93
  فَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَـٰلَـٰتِ رَبِّى وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ‌ۖ فَكَيْفَ ءَاسَىٰ عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ كَـٰفِرِينَ ٩٣ 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?”
• Al A’raf Ayah 94
  وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا فِى قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّبِىٍّ إِلَّآ أَخَذْنَآ أَهْلَهَا بِٱلْبَأْسَآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَضَّرَّعُونَ ٩٤ Whenever We sent a prophet to a society, We afflicted its ?disbelieving? people with suffering and adversity, so perhaps they would be humbled.
• Al A’raf Ayah 95
  ثُمَّ بَدَّلْنَا مَكَانَ ٱلسَّيِّئَةِ ٱلْحَسَنَةَ حَتَّىٰ عَفَواْ وَّقَالُواْ قَدْ مَسَّ ءَابَآءَنَا ٱلضَّرَّآءُ وَٱلسَّرَّآءُ فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ٩٥ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 96
  وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱتَّقَوْاْ لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَرَكَـٰتٍ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَـٰكِن كَذَّبُواْ فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ ٩٦ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 97
  أَفَأَمِنَ أَهْلُ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ أَن يَأْتِيَهُم بَأْسُنَا بَيَـٰتًا وَهُمْ نَآئِمُونَ ٩٧ Did the people of those societies feel secure that Our punishment would not come upon them by night while they were asleep?
• Al A’raf Ayah 98
  أَوَأَمِنَ أَهْلُ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ أَن يَأْتِيَهُم بَأْسُنَا ضُحًى وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ ٩٨ Or did they feel secure that Our punishment would not come upon them by day while they were at play?
• Al A’raf Ayah 99
  أَفَأَمِنُواْ مَكْرَ ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ فَلَا يَأْمَنُ مَكْرَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ ٩٩ Did they feel secure against Allah’s planning? None would feel secure from Allah’s planning except the losers.
• Al A’raf Ayah 100
  أَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لِلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ أَهْلِهَآ أَن لَّوْ نَشَآءُ أَصَبْنَـٰهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمْ‌ۚ وَنَطْبَعُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ ١٠٠ 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??
• Al A’raf Ayah 101
  تِلْكَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآئِهَا‌ۚ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَمَا كَانُواْ لِيُؤْمِنُواْ بِمَا كَذَّبُواْ مِن قَبْلُ‌ۚ كَذَٲلِكَ يَطْبَعُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ١٠١ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 102
  وَمَا وَجَدْنَا لِأَكْثَرِهِم مِّنْ عَهْدٍ‌ۖ وَإِن وَجَدْنَآ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَفَـٰسِقِينَ ١٠٢ We did not find most of them true to their covenant. Rather, We found most of them truly rebellious.
• Al A’raf Ayah 103
  ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِم مُّوسَىٰ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِيْهِۦ فَظَلَمُواْ بِهَا‌ۖ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ١٠٣ 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!
• Al A’raf Ayah 104
  وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ يَـٰفِرْعَوْنُ إِنِّى رَسُولٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ١٠٤ And Moses said, “O Pharaoh! I am truly a messenger from the Lord of all worlds,
• Al A’raf Ayah 105
  حَقِيقٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَن لَّآ أَقُولَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلْحَقَّ‌ۚ قَدْ جِئْتُكُم بِبَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعِىَ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٲٓءِيلَ ١٠٥ obliged to say nothing about Allah except the truth. Indeed, I have come to you with clear proof from your Lord, so let the children of Israel go with me.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 106

• Al A’raf Ayah 107
  فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ ١٠٧ So Moses threw down his staff and—behold!—it became a real snake.

• Al A’raf Ayah 110
  يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُمْ‌ۖ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ ١١٠ who seeks to drive you from your land.” ?So Pharaoh asked,? “What do you propose?”
• Al A’raf Ayah 111
  قَالُوٓاْ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَأَرْسِلْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ ١١١ They replied, “Let him and his brother wait and send mobilizers to all cities

• Al A’raf Ayah 116

• Al A’raf Ayah 117
  ۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ‌ۖ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ ١١٧ Then We inspired Moses, “Throw down your staff,” and—behold!—it devoured the objects of their illusion!
• Al A’raf Ayah 118

  قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ءَامَنتُم بِهِۦ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ‌ۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَمَكْرٌ مَّكَرْتُمُوهُ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لِتُخْرِجُواْ مِنْهَآ أَهْلَهَا‌ۖ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ١٢٣ 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.

  لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَـٰفٍ ثُمَّ لَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ١٢٤ I will certainly cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, then crucify you all.”

Our Lord! Shower us with perseverance, and let us die while submitting ?to You?.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 127
  وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ مِن قَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ أَتَذَرُ مُوسَىٰ وَقَوْمَهُۥ لِيُفْسِدُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَذَرَكَ وَءَالِهَتَكَ‌ۚ قَالَ سَنُقَتِّلُ أَبْنَآءَهُمْ وَنَسْتَحْىِۦ نِسَآءَهُمْ وَإِنَّا فَوْقَهُمْ قَـٰهِرُونَ ١٢٧ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 128
  قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ ٱسْتَعِينُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱصْبِرُوٓاْ‌ۖ إِنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ لِلَّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ‌ۖ وَٱلْعَـٰقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ١٢٨ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 129
  قَالُوٓاْ أُوذِينَا مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَأْتِيَنَا وَمِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جِئْتَنَا‌ۚ قَالَ عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمْ أَن يُهْلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْلِفَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ ١٢٩ 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.”
• Al A’raf Ayah 130
  وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَآ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِٱلسِّنِينَ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٲتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ١٣٠ Indeed, We afflicted Pharaoh’s people with famine and shortage of crops so they might come back ?to their senses?.
• Al A’raf Ayah 131
  فَإِذَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْحَسَنَةُ قَالُواْ لَنَا هَـٰذِهِۦ‌ۖ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَطَّيَّرُواْ بِمُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ‌ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّمَا طَـٰٓئِرُهُمْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ١٣١ 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.

• Al A’raf Ayah 134
  وَلَمَّا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّجْزُ قَالُواْ يَـٰمُوسَى ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ‌ۖ لَئِن كَشَفْتَ عَنَّا ٱلرِّجْزَ لَنُؤْمِنَنَّ لَكَ وَلَنُرْسِلَنَّ مَعَكَ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٲٓءِيلَ ١٣٤ 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.”

  فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ ٱلرِّجْزَ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ هُم بَـٰلِغُوهُ إِذَا هُمْ يَنكُثُونَ ١٣٥ But as soon as We removed the torment from them—until they met their inevitable fate—they broke their promise.
• Al A’raf Ayah 136
  فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَأَغْرَقْنَـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا وَكَانُواْ عَنْهَا غَـٰفِلِينَ ١٣٦ So We inflicted punishment upon them, drowning them in the sea for denying Our signs and being heedless of them.
• Al A’raf Ayah 137
  وَأَوْرَثْنَا ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُواْ يُسْتَضْعَفُونَ مَشَـٰرِقَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَغَـٰرِبَهَا ٱلَّتِى بَـٰرَكْنَا فِيهَا‌ۖ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ عَلَىٰ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٲٓءِيلَ بِمَا صَبَرُواْ‌ۖ وَدَمَّرْنَا مَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ فِرْعَوْنُ وَقَوْمُهُۥ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَعْرِشُونَ ١٣٧ 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.
• Al A’raf Ayah 138
  وَجَـٰوَزْنَا بِبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٲٓءِيلَ ٱلْبَحْرَ فَأَتَوْاْ عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ يَعْكُفُونَ عَلَىٰٓ أَصْنَامٍ لَّهُمْ‌ۚ قَالُواْ يَـٰمُوسَى ٱجْعَل لَّنَآ إِلَـٰهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ ءَالِهَةٌ‌ۚ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ ١٣٨ We brought the Children of Israel across the sea and they came upon a people devoted to idols.
