7:2
كِتَـٰبٌ
(This is) a Book
أُنزِلَ
revealed
إِلَيۡكَ
to you
فَلَا
so (let) not
يَكُن
be
فِى
in
صَدۡرِكَ
your breast
حَرَجٌ
any uneasiness
مِّنۡهُ
from it
لِتُنذِرَ
that you warn
بِهِۦ
with it
وَذِكۡرَىٰ
and a reminder
لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
for the believers
٢
[This is] a Book revealed to you, [O Muḥammad] - so let there not be in your breast distress therefrom - that you may warn thereby and as a reminder to the believers.
7:3
ٱتَّبِعُواۡ
Follow
مَآ
what
أُنزِلَ
has been revealed
إِلَيۡكُم
to you
مِّن
from
رَّبِّكُمۡ
your Lord
وَلَا
and (do) not
تَتَّبِعُواۡ
follow
مِن
from
دُونِهِۦٓ
beside Him
أَوۡلِيَآءَ‌ۗ
any allies
قَلِيلاً
Little
مَّا
(is) what
تَذَكَّرُونَ
you remember
٣
Follow, [O mankind], what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him any allies. Little do you remember.
7:4
وَكَم
And how many
مِّن
of
قَرۡيَةٍ
a city
أَهۡلَكۡنَـٰهَا
We destroyed it
فَجَآءَهَا
and came to it
بَأۡسُنَا
Our punishment
بَيَـٰتًا
(at) night
أَوۡ
or
هُمۡ
(while) they
قَآئِلُونَ
were sleeping at noon
٤
And how many cities have We destroyed, and Our punishment came to them at night or while they were sleeping at noon.
7:5
فَمَا
Then not
كَانَ
was
دَعۡوَٮٰهُمۡ
their plea
إِذۡ
when
جَآءَهُم
came to them
بَأۡسُنَآ
Our punishment
إِلَّآ
except
أَن
that
قَالُوٓاۡ
they said
إِنَّا
Indeed, we
كُنَّا
were
ظَـٰلِمِينَ
wrongdoers
٥
And their declaration when Our punishment came to them was only that they said, "Indeed, we were wrongdoers!"
7:6
فَلَنَسۡــَٔلَنَّ
Then surely We will question
ٱلَّذِينَ
those (to) whom
أُرۡسِلَ
were sent
إِلَيۡهِمۡ
to them (Messengers)
وَلَنَسۡــَٔلَنَّ
and surely We will question
ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
the Messengers
٦
Then We will surely question those to whom [a message] was sent, and We will surely question the messengers.
7:7
فَلَنَقُصَّنَّ
Then surely We will narrate
عَلَيۡهِم
to them
بِعِلۡمٍ‌ۖ
with knowledge
وَمَا
and not
كُنَّا
were We
غَآئِبِينَ
absent
٧
Then We will surely relate [their deeds] to them with knowledge, and We were not [at all] absent.
7:8
وَٱلۡوَزۡنُ
And the weighing
يَوۡمَئِذٍ
that day
ٱلۡحَقُّ‌ۚ
(will be) the truth
فَمَن
So whose
ثَقُلَتۡ
(will be) heavy
مَوٰزِينُهُۥ
his scales
فَأُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
then those
هُمُ
[they]
ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ
(will be) the successful ones
٨
And the weighing [of deeds] that Day will be the truth. So those whose scales are heavy - it is they who will be the successful.
7:9
وَمَنۡ
And (for) those
خَفَّتۡ
(will be) light
مَوٰزِينُهُۥ
his scales
فَأُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
so those
ٱلَّذِينَ
(will be) the ones who
خَسِرُوٓاۡ
lost
أَنفُسَهُم
themselves
بِمَا
because
كَانُواۡ
they were
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا
to Our Verses
يَظۡلِمُونَ
(doing) injustice
٩
And those whose scales are light - they are the ones who will lose themselves for what injustice they were doing toward Our verses.
7:10
وَلَقَدۡ
And certainly
مَكَّنَّـٰكُمۡ
We established you
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
وَجَعَلۡنَا
and We made
لَكُمۡ
for you
فِيهَا
in it
مَعَـٰيِشَ‌ۗ
livelihood
قَلِيلاً
Little
مَّا
(is) what
تَشۡكُرُونَ
you (are) grateful
١٠
And We have certainly established you upon the earth and made for you therein ways of livelihood. Little are you grateful.
7:11
وَلَقَدۡ
And certainly
خَلَقۡنَـٰكُمۡ
We created you
ثُمَّ
then
صَوَّرۡنَـٰكُمۡ
We fashioned you
ثُمَّ
Then
قُلۡنَا
We said
لِلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ
to the Angels
ٱسۡجُدُواۡ
Prostrate
لِأَدَمَ
to Adam
فَسَجَدُوٓاۡ
So they prostrated
إِلَّآ
except
إِبۡلِيسَ
Iblis
لَمۡ
Not
يَكُن
he was
مِّنَ
of
ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ
those who prostrated
١١
And We have certainly created you, [O mankind], and given you [human] form. Then We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees.1 He was not of those who prostrated.
7:12
قَالَ
(Allah) said
مَا
What
مَنَعَكَ
prevented you
أَلَّا
that not
تَسۡجُدَ
you prostrate
إِذۡ
when
أَمَرۡتُكَ‌ۖ
I commanded you
قَالَ
(Shaitaan) said
أَنَاۡ
I am
خَيۡرٌ
better
مِّنۡهُ
than him
خَلَقۡتَنِى
You created me
مِن
from
نَّارٍ
fire
وَخَلَقۡتَهُۥ
and You created him
مِن
from
طِينٍ
clay
١٢
[Allāh] said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?" [Satan] said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay [i.e., earth]."
7:13
قَالَ
(Allah) said
فَٱهۡبِطۡ
Then go down
مِنۡهَا
from it
فَمَا
for not
يَكُونُ
it is
لَكَ
for you
أَن
that
تَتَكَبَّرَ
you be arrogant
فِيهَا
in it
فَٱخۡرُجۡ
So get out
إِنَّكَ
indeed, you
مِنَ
(are) of
ٱلصَّـٰغِرِينَ
the disgraced ones
١٣
[Allāh] said, "Descend from it [i.e., Paradise], for it is not for you to be arrogant therein. So get out; indeed, you are of the debased."
7:14
قَالَ
(Shaitaan) said
أَنظِرۡنِىٓ
Give me respite
إِلَىٰ
till
يَوۡمِ
(the) Day
يُبۡعَثُونَ
they are raised up
١٤
[Satan] said, "Reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."
7:15
قَالَ
(Allah) said
إِنَّكَ
Indeed, you
مِنَ
(are) of
ٱلۡمُنظَرِينَ
the ones given respite
١٥
[Allāh] said, "Indeed, you are of those reprieved."
7:16
قَالَ
(Shaitaan) said
فَبِمَآ
Because
أَغۡوَيۡتَنِى
You have sent me astray
لَأَقۡعُدَنَّ
surely I will sit
لَهُمۡ
for them
صِرٰطَكَ
(on) Your path
ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ
the straight
١٦
[Satan] said, "Because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them [i.e., mankind] on Your straight path.
7:17
ثُمَّ
Then
لَأَتِيَنَّهُم
surely, I will come to them
مِّنۢ
from
بَيۡنِ
before
أَيۡدِيهِمۡ
them
وَمِنۡ
and from
خَلۡفِهِمۡ
behind them
وَعَنۡ
and from
أَيۡمَـٰنِهِمۡ
their right
وَعَن
and from
شَمَآئِلِهِمۡ‌ۖ
their left
وَلَا
and not
تَجِدُ
You (will) find
أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ
most of them
شَـٰكِرِينَ
grateful
١٧
Then I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful [to You]."
7:18
قَالَ
(Allah) said
ٱخۡرُجۡ
Get out
مِنۡهَا
of it
مَذۡءُومًا
disgraced
مَّدۡحُورًا‌ۖ
and expelled
لَّمَن
Certainly, whoever
تَبِعَكَ
follows you
مِنۡهُمۡ
among them
لَأَمۡلَأَنَّ
surely, I will fill
جَهَنَّمَ
Hell
مِنكُمۡ
with you
أَجۡمَعِينَ
all
١٨
[Allāh] said, "Depart from it [i.e., Paradise], reproached and expelled. Whoever follows you among them - I will surely fill Hell with you, all together."
7:19
وَيَـٰٓــَٔـادَمُ
And O Adam
ٱسۡكُنۡ
Dwell
أَنتَ
you
وَزَوۡجُكَ
and your wife
ٱلۡجَنَّةَ
(in) the Garden
فَكُلَا
and you both eat
مِنۡ
from
حَيۡثُ
wherever
شِئۡتُمَا
you both wish
وَلَا
but (do) not
تَقۡرَبَا
approach [both of you]
هَـٰذِهِ
this
ٱلشَّجَرَةَ
[the] tree
فَتَكُونَا
lest you both be
مِنَ
among
ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
the wrongdoers
١٩
And "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat from wherever you will but do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers."
7:20
فَوَسۡوَسَ
Then whispered
لَهُمَا
to both of them
ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنُ
the Shaitaan
لِيُبۡدِىَ
to make apparent
لَهُمَا
to both of them
مَا
what
وُۥرِىَ
was concealed
عَنۡهُمَا
from both of them
مِن
of
سَوۡءٰتِهِمَا
their shame
وَقَالَ
And he said
مَا
(Did) not
نَهَـٰكُمَا
forbid you both
رَبُّكُمَا
your Lord
عَنۡ
from
هَـٰذِهِ
this
ٱلشَّجَرَةِ
[the] tree
إِلَّآ
except
أَن
that
تَكُونَا
you two become
مَلَكَيۡنِ
Angels
أَوۡ
or
تَكُونَا
you two become
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡخَـٰلِدِينَ
the immortals
٢٠
But Satan whispered to them to make apparent to them that which was concealed from them of their private parts. He said, "Your Lord did not forbid you this tree except that you become angels or become of the immortal."
7:21
وَقَاسَمَهُمَآ
And he swore (to) both of them
إِنِّى
Indeed, I am
لَكُمَا
to both of you
لَمِنَ
among
ٱلنَّـٰصِحِينَ
the sincere advisors
٢١
And he swore [by Allāh] to them, "Indeed, I am to you from among the sincere advisors."
7:22
فَدَلَّـٰهُمَا
So he made both of them fall
بِغُرُورٍ‌ۚ
by deception
فَلَمَّا
Then when
ذَاقَا
they both tasted
ٱلشَّجَرَةَ
the tree
بَدَتۡ
became apparent
لَهُمَا
to both of them
سَوۡءٰتُهُمَا
their shame
وَطَفِقَا
and they began
يَخۡصِفَانِ
(to) fasten
عَلَيۡهِمَا
over themselves
مِن
from
وَرَقِ
(the) leaves
ٱلۡجَنَّةِ‌ۖ
(of) the Garden
وَنَادَٮٰهُمَا
And called them both
رَبُّهُمَآ
their Lord
أَلَمۡ
Did not
أَنۡهَكُمَا
I forbid you both
عَن
from
تِلۡكُمَا
this
ٱلشَّجَرَةِ
[the] tree
وَأَقُل
and [I] say
لَّكُمَآ
to both of you
إِنَّ
that
ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنَ
[the] Shaitaan
لَكُمَا
to both of you
عَدُوٌّ
(is) an enemy
مُّبِينٌ
open
٢٢
So he made them fall, through deception. And when they tasted of the tree, their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten together over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And their Lord called to them, "Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy?"
7:23
قَالَا
Both of them said
رَبَّنَا
Our Lord
ظَلَمۡنَآ
we have wronged
أَنفُسَنَا
ourselves
وَإِن
and if
لَّمۡ
not
تَغۡفِرۡ
You forgive
لَنَا
[for] us
وَتَرۡحَمۡنَا
and have mercy (on) us
لَنَكُونَنَّ
surely, we will be
مِنَ
among
ٱلۡخَـٰسِرِينَ
the losers
٢٣
They said, "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers."
7:24
قَالَ
(Allah) said
ٱهۡبِطُواۡ
Get down
بَعۡضُكُمۡ
some of you
لِبَعۡضٍ
to some others
عَدُوٌّ‌ۖ
(as) enemy
وَلَكُمۡ
And for you
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
مُسۡتَقَرٌّ
(is) a dwelling place
وَمَتَـٰعٌ
and livelihood
إِلَىٰ
for
حِينٍ
a time
٢٤
[Allāh] said, "Descend, being to one another enemies. And for you on the earth is a place of settlement and enjoyment [i.e., provision] for a time."
7:25
قَالَ
He said
فِيهَا
In it
تَحۡيَوۡنَ
you will live
وَفِيهَا
and in it
تَمُوتُونَ
you will die
وَمِنۡهَا
and from it
تُخۡرَجُونَ
you will be brought forth
٢٥
He said, "Therein you will live, and therein you will die, and from it you will be brought forth."
7:26
يَـٰبَنِىٓ
O Children
ءَادَمَ
(of) Adam
قَدۡ
Verily
أَنزَلۡنَا
We have sent down
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
to you
لِبَاسًا
clothing
يُوٰرِى
it covers
سَوۡءٰتِكُمۡ
your shame
وَرِيشًا‌ۖ
and (as) an adornment
وَلِبَاسُ
But the clothing
ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ
(of) [the] righteousness
ذٰلِكَ
that
خَيۡرٌ‌ۚ
(is) best
ذٰلِكَ
That
مِنۡ
(is) from
ءَايَـٰتِ
(the) Signs
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they may
يَذَّكَّرُونَ
remember
٢٦
O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness - that is best. That is from the signs of Allāh that perhaps they will remember.
7:27
يَـٰبَنِىٓ
O Children
ءَادَمَ
(of) Adam
لَا
(Let) not
يَفۡتِنَنَّكُمُ
tempt you
ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنُ
[the] Shaitaan
كَمَآ
as
أَخۡرَجَ
he drove out
أَبَوَيۡكُم
your parents
مِّنَ
from
ٱلۡجَنَّةِ
Paradise
يَنزِعُ
stripping
عَنۡهُمَا
from both of them
لِبَاسَهُمَا
their clothing
لِيُرِيَهُمَا
to show both of them
سَوۡءٰتِهِمَآ‌ۗ
their shame
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, he
يَرَٮٰكُمۡ
sees you
هُوَ
he
وَقَبِيلُهُۥ
and his tribe
مِنۡ
from
حَيۡثُ
where
لَا
not
تَرَوۡنَهُمۡ‌ۗ
you see them
إِنَّا
Indeed
جَعَلۡنَا
We have made
ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ
the devils
أَوۡلِيَآءَ
friends
لِلَّذِينَ
of those who
لَا
(do) not
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
believe
٢٧
O children of Adam, let not Satan tempt you as he removed your parents from Paradise, stripping them of their clothing1 to show them their private parts. Indeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them. Indeed, We have made the devils allies to those who do not believe.
7:28
وَإِذَا
And when
فَعَلُواۡ
they do
فَـٰحِشَةً
immorality
قَالُواۡ
they say
وَجَدۡنَا
We found
عَلَيۡهَآ
on it
ءَابَآءَنَا
our forefathers
وَٱللَّهُ
and Allah
أَمَرَنَا
(has) ordered us
بِهَا‌ۗ
of it
قُلۡ
Say
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
لَا
(does) not
يَأۡمُرُ
order
بِٱلۡفَحۡشَآءِ‌ۖ
immorality
أَتَقُولُونَ
Do you say
عَلَى
about
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
مَا
what
لَا
not
تَعۡلَمُونَ
you know
٢٨
And when they commit an immorality, they say, "We found our fathers doing it, and Allāh has ordered us to do it." Say, "Indeed, Allāh does not order immorality. Do you say about Allāh that which you do not know?"
7:29
قُلۡ
Say
أَمَرَ
(Has been) ordered
رَبِّى
(by) my Lord
بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ‌ۖ
justice
وَأَقِيمُواۡ
and set
وُجُوهَكُمۡ
your faces
عِندَ
at
كُلِّ
every
مَسۡجِدٍ
masjid
وَٱدۡعُوهُ
and invoke Him
مُخۡلِصِينَ
(being) sincere
لَهُ
to Him
ٱلدِّينَ‌ۚ
(in) the religion
كَمَا
As
بَدَأَكُمۡ
He originated you
تَعُودُونَ
(so) will you return
٢٩
Say, [O Muḥammad], "My Lord has ordered justice and that you direct yourselves [to the Qiblah] at every place [or time] of prostration, and invoke Him, sincere to Him in religion." Just as He originated you, you will return [to life] -
7:30
فَرِيقًا
A group
هَدَىٰ
He guided
وَفَرِيقًا
and a group
حَقَّ
deserved
عَلَيۡهِمُ
[on] they
ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةُ‌ۗ
the astraying
إِنَّهُمُ
Indeed, they
ٱتَّخَذُواۡ
take
ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ
the devils
أَوۡلِيَآءَ
(as) allies
مِن
from
دُونِ
besides
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
وَيَحۡسَبُونَ
while they think
أَنَّهُم
that they
مُّهۡتَدُونَ
(are the) guided-ones
٣٠
A group [of you] He guided, and a group deserved [to be in] error. Indeed, they [i.e., the latter] had taken the devils as allies instead of Allāh while they thought that they were guided.
7:31
۞يَـٰبَنِىٓ
O Children
ءَادَمَ
(of) Adam
خُذُواۡ
Take
زِينَتَكُمۡ
your adornment
عِندَ
at
كُلِّ
every
مَسۡجِدٍ
masjid
وَكُلُواۡ
and eat
وَٱشۡرَبُواۡ
and drink
وَلَا
but (do) not
تُسۡرِفُوٓاۡ‌ۚ
be extravagant
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, He
لَا
(does) not
يُحِبُّ
love
ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ
the extravagant ones
٣١
O children of Adam, take your adornment [i.e., wear your clothing] at every masjid,1 and eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess.
7:32
قُلۡ
Say
مَنۡ
Who
حَرَّمَ
has forbidden
زِينَةَ
(the) adornment
ٱللَّهِ
(from) Allah
ٱلَّتِىٓ
which
أَخۡرَجَ
He has brought forth
لِعِبَادِهِۦ
for His slaves
وَٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ
and the pure things
مِنَ
of
ٱلرِّزۡقِ‌ۚ
sustenance
قُلۡ
Say
هِىَ
They
لِلَّذِينَ
(are) for those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe
فِى
during
ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ
the life
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
(of) the world
خَالِصَةً
exclusively (for them)
يَوۡمَ
(on the) Day
ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ‌ۗ
(of) Resurrection
كَذٰلِكَ
Thus
نُفَصِّلُ
We explain
ٱلۡأَيَـٰتِ
the Signs
لِقَوۡمٍ
for (the) people
يَعۡلَمُونَ
who know
٣٢
Say, "Who has forbidden the adornment of [i.e., from] Allāh which He has produced for His servants and the good [lawful] things of provision?" Say, "They are for those who believed during the life of this world, exclusively [for them] on the Day of Resurrection." Thus do We detail the verses for a people who know.
7:33
قُلۡ
Say
إِنَّمَا
Only
حَرَّمَ
(had) forbidden
رَبِّىَ
my Lord
ٱلۡفَوٰحِشَ
the shameful deeds
مَا
what
ظَهَرَ
(is) apparent
مِنۡهَا
of it
وَمَا
and what
بَطَنَ
is concealed
وَٱلۡإِثۡمَ
and the sin
وَٱلۡبَغۡىَ
and the oppression
بِغَيۡرِ
without
ٱلۡحَقِّ
[the] right
وَأَن
and that
تُشۡرِكُواۡ
you associate (others)
بِٱللَّهِ
with Allah
مَا
what
لَمۡ
not
يُنَزِّلۡ
He (has) sent down
بِهِۦ
of it
سُلۡطَـٰنًا
any authority
وَأَن
and that
تَقُولُواۡ
you say
عَلَى
about
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
مَا
what
لَا
not
تَعۡلَمُونَ
you know
٣٣
Say, "My Lord has only forbidden immoralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed - and sin,1 and oppression without right, and that you associate with Allāh that for which He has not sent down authority, and that you say about Allāh that which you do not know."
7:34
وَلِكُلِّ
And for every
أُمَّةٍ
nation
أَجَلٌ‌ۖ
(is a fixed) term
فَإِذَا
So when
جَآءَ
comes
أَجَلُهُمۡ
their term
لَا
(they can) not
يَسۡتَأۡخِرُونَ
seek to delay
سَاعَةً‌ۖ
an hour
وَلَا
and not
يَسۡتَقۡدِمُونَ
seek to advance (it)
٣٤
And for every nation is a [specified] term. So when their time has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].
7:35
يَـٰبَنِىٓ
O Children
ءَادَمَ
(of) Adam
إِمَّا
If
يَأۡتِيَنَّكُمۡ
come to you

from you

٣٥
O children of Adam, if there come to you messengers from among you relating to you My verses [i.e., scriptures and laws], then whoever fears Allāh and reforms - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.
7:36
وَٱلَّذِينَ
But those who
كَذَّبُواۡ
deny
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا
Our Verses
وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواۡ
and (are) arrogant
عَنۡهَآ
towards them
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
those
أَصۡحَـٰبُ
(are the) companions
ٱلنَّارِ‌ۖ
(of) the Fire
هُمۡ
they
فِيهَا
in it
خَـٰلِدُونَ
will abide forever
٣٦
But the ones who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.
7:37
فَمَنۡ
Then who
أَظۡلَمُ
(is) more unjust
مِمَّنِ
than (one) who
ٱفۡتَرَىٰ
invented
عَلَى
against
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
كَذِبًا
a lie
أَوۡ
or
كَذَّبَ

بِـَٔـايَـٰتِهِۦٓ‌ۚ
His Verses
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those
يَنَالُهُمۡ
will reach them
نَصِيبُهُم
their portion
مِّنَ
from
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ‌ۖ
the Book
حَتَّىٰٓ
until
إِذَا
when
جَآءَتۡهُمۡ
comes to them
رُسُلُنَا
Our messengers (Angels)
يَتَوَفَّوۡنَهُمۡ
(to) take them in death
قَالُوٓاۡ
they say
أَيۡنَ
Where are
مَا
those (whom)

ٱللَّهِ‌ۖ
Allah
قَالُواۡ
They say
ضَلُّواۡ
They strayed
عَنَّا
from us
وَشَهِدُواۡ
and they (will) testify
عَلَىٰٓ
against
أَنفُسِهِمۡ
themselves
أَنَّهُمۡ
that they
كَانُواۡ
were
كَـٰفِرِينَ
disbelievers
٣٧
And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allāh a lie or denies His verses? Those will attain their portion of the decree1 until, when Our messengers [i.e., angels] come to them to take them in death, they will say, "Where are those you used to invoke besides Allāh?" They will say, "They have departed from us," and will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.
7:38
قَالَ
He (will) say

the Fire
كُلَّمَا
Every time
دَخَلَتۡ
entered
أُمَّةٌ
a nation
لَّعَنَتۡ
it cursed
أُخۡتَهَا‌ۖ
its sister (nation)

until
إِذَا
when
ٱدَّارَكُواۡ
they had overtaken one another

جَمِيعًا
all
قَالَتۡ
(will) say
أُخۡرَٮٰهُمۡ

رَبَّنَا
Our Lord
هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ
these

so give them
عَذَابًا
punishment

For each
ضِعۡفٌ
(is) a double
وَلَـٰكِن
[and] but
لَّا
not
تَعۡلَمُونَ
you know
٣٨
[Allāh] will say, "Enter among nations which had passed on before you of jinn and mankind into the Fire." Every time a nation enters, it will curse its sister1 until, when they have all overtaken one another therein, the last of them2 will say about the first of them,3 "Our Lord, these had misled us, so give them a double punishment of the Fire." He will say, "For each is double, but you do not know."
7:39

And (will) say
أُولَـٰهُمۡ
(the) first of them
لِأُخۡرَٮٰهُمۡ

so taste
ٱلۡعَذَابَ
the punishment
بِمَا
for what
كُنتُمۡ
you used to
تَكۡسِبُونَ
earn
٣٩
And the first of them will say to the last of them, "Then you had not any favor over us, so taste the punishment for what you used to earn."
7:40
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ

And thus
نَجۡزِى
We recompense
ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ
the criminals
٤٠
Indeed, those who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them - the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel enters into the eye of a needle [i.e., never]. And thus do We recompense the criminals.
7:41
لَهُم
For them
مِّن
of

٤١
They will have from Hell a bed and over them coverings [of fire]. And thus do We recompense the wrongdoers.
7:42
وَٱلَّذِينَ
But those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe
وَعَمِلُواۡ
and do
ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ
[the] righteous deeds
لَا
not

Those

ٱلۡجَنَّةِ‌ۖ
(of) Paradise
هُمۡ
they
فِيهَا
in it
خَـٰلِدُونَ
(will) abide forever
٤٢
But those who believed and did righteous deeds - We charge no soul except [within] its capacity. Those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally.
7:43

And We will remove

بِمَا
for what
كُنتُمۡ
you used to
تَعۡمَلُونَ

٤٣
And We will have removed whatever is within their breasts of resentment,1 [while] flowing beneath them are rivers. And they will say, "Praise to Allāh, who has guided us to this; and we would never have been guided if Allāh had not guided us. Certainly the messengers of our Lord had come with the truth." And they will be called, "This is Paradise, which you have been made to inherit for what you used to do."
7:44
وَنَادَىٰٓ
And will call out
أَصۡحَـٰبُ
(the) companions
ٱلۡجَنَّةِ

And the companions of Paradise will call out to the companions of the Fire, "We have already found what our Lord promised us to be true. Have you found what your Lord promised to be true?" They will say, "Yes." Then an announcer will announce among them, "The curse of Allāh shall be upon the wrongdoers

And between them will be a partition [i.e., wall], and on [its] elevations are men1 who recognize all2 by their mark. And they call out to the companions of Paradise, "Peace be upon you." They have not [yet] entered it, but they long intensely.
7:47

And the companions of the Elevations will call to men [within Hell] whom they recognize by their mark, saying, "Of no avail to you was your gathering1 and [the fact] that you were arrogant."
7:49

ٱلَّذِينَ
Those who

the life

So today
نَنسَـٰهُمۡ

(as) they used to
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا
with Our Verses
يَجۡحَدُونَ
they reject
٥١
Who took their religion as distraction and amusement and whom the worldly life deluded." So today We will forget them just as they forgot the meeting of this Day of theirs and for having rejected Our verses.
7:52
وَلَقَدۡ
And certainly
جِئۡنَـٰهُم
We had brought them
بِكِتَـٰبٍ

Do they await except its result?1 The Day its result comes, those who had ignored it before will say, "The messengers of our Lord had come with the truth, so are there [now] any intercessors to intercede for us or could we be sent back to do other than what we used to do?" They will have lost themselves, and lost from them is what they used to invent.

Indeed, your Lord is Allāh, who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne.1 He covers the night with the day, [another night] chasing it rapidly; and [He created] the sun, the moon, and the stars, subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allāh, Lord of the worlds.

And cause not corruption upon the earth after its reformation. And invoke Him in fear and aspiration. Indeed, the mercy of Allāh is near to the doers of good.

ٱلَّذِى

then We send down

We will bring forth
ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ

٥٧
And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy [i.e., rainfall] until, when they have carried heavy rainclouds, We drive them to a dead land and We send down rain therein and bring forth thereby [some] of all the fruits. Thus will We bring forth the dead; perhaps you may be reminded.

Verily
ٱفۡتَرَيۡنَا
we would have fabricated
عَلَى
against
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
كَذِبًا
a lie
إِنۡ
if
عُدۡنَا
we returned
فِى
in
مِلَّتِكُم
your religion
بَعۡدَ
after
إِذۡ
[when]
نَجَّـٰنَا
saved us
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
مِنۡهَا‌ۚ
from it
وَمَا
And not
يَكُونُ
it is
لَنَآ
for us
أَن
that
نَّعُودَ
we return
فِيهَآ
in it
إِلَّآ
except
أَن
that
يَشَآءَ
wills
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
رَبُّنَا‌ۚ
our Lord
وَسِعَ
Encompasses
رَبُّنَا
(by) Our Lord
كُلَّ
every
شَىۡءٍ
thing
عِلۡمًا‌ۚ
(in) knowledge
عَلَى
Upon
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
تَوَكَّلۡنَا‌ۚ
we put our trust
رَبَّنَا
Our Lord
ٱفۡتَحۡ
Decide
بَيۡنَنَا
between us
وَبَيۡنَ
and between
قَوۡمِنَا
our people
بِٱلۡحَقِّ
in truth
وَأَنتَ
and You
خَيۡرُ
(are the) Best
ٱلۡفَـٰتِحِينَ
(of) those who Decide
٨٩
We would have invented against Allāh a lie if we returned to your religion after Allāh had saved us from it. And it is not for us to return to it except that Allāh, our Lord, should will. Our Lord has encompassed all things in knowledge. Upon Allāh we have relied. Our Lord, decide between us and our people in truth, and You are the best of those who give decision."
7:90
وَقَالَ
And said
ٱلۡمَلَأُ
the chiefs
ٱلَّذِينَ
(of) those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
مِن
among
قَوۡمِهِۦ
his people
لَئِنِ
If
ٱتَّبَعۡتُمۡ
you follow
شُعَيۡبًا
Shuaib
إِنَّكُمۡ
indeed, you
إِذًا
then
لَّخَـٰسِرُونَ
(will be) certainly losers
٩٠
Said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people, "If you should follow Shuʿayb, indeed, you would then be losers."
7:91
فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ
Then seized them
ٱلرَّجۡفَةُ
the earthquake
فَأَصۡبَحُواۡ
then they became
فِى
in
دَارِهِمۡ
their home(s)
جَـٰثِمِينَ
fallen prone
٩١
So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.
7:92
ٱلَّذِينَ
Those who
كَذَّبُواۡ
denied
شُعَيۡبًا
Shuaib
كَأَن
(became) as if
لَّمۡ
not
يَغۡنَوۡاۡ
they (had) lived
فِيهَا‌ۚ
therein
ٱلَّذِينَ
Those who
كَذَّبُواۡ
denied
شُعَيۡبًا
Shuaib
كَانُواۡ
they were
هُمُ
them
ٱلۡخَـٰسِرِينَ
the losers
٩٢
Those who denied Shuʿayb - it was as though they had never resided there. Those who denied Shuʿayb - it was they who were the losers.
7:93
فَتَوَلَّىٰ
So he turned away
عَنۡهُمۡ
from them
وَقَالَ
and said
يَـٰقَوۡمِ
O my people
لَقَدۡ
Verily
أَبۡلَغۡتُكُمۡ
I (have) conveyed to you
رِسَـٰلَـٰتِ
(the) Messages
رَبِّى
(of) my Lord
وَنَصَحۡتُ
and advised
لَكُمۡ‌ۖ
[to] you
فَكَيۡفَ
So how could
ءَاسَىٰ
I grieve
عَلَىٰ
for
قَوۡمٍ
a people
كَـٰفِرِينَ
(who are) disbelievers
٩٣
And he [i.e., Shuʿayb] turned away from them and said, "O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the messages of my Lord and advised you, so how could I grieve for a disbelieving people?"
7:94
وَمَآ
And not
أَرۡسَلۡنَا
We sent
فِى
in
قَرۡيَةٍ
a city
مِّن
any
نَّبِىٍّ
Prophet
إِلَّآ
except
أَخَذۡنَآ
We seized
أَهۡلَهَا
its people
بِٱلۡبَأۡسَآءِ
with adversity
وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ
and hardship
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they may
يَضَّرَّعُونَ
(become) humble
٩٤
And We sent to no city a prophet [who was denied] except that We seized its people with poverty and hardship that they might humble themselves [to Allāh].
7:95
ثُمَّ
Then
بَدَّلۡنَا
We changed
مَكَانَ
(in) place
ٱلسَّيِّئَةِ
(of) the bad
ٱلۡحَسَنَةَ
the good
حَتَّىٰ
until
عَفَواۡ
they increased
وَّقَالُواۡ
and said
قَدۡ
Verily
مَسَّ
(had) touched
ءَابَآءَنَا
our forefathers
ٱلضَّرَّآءُ
the adversity
وَٱلسَّرَّآءُ
and the ease
فَأَخَذۡنَـٰهُم
So We seized them
بَغۡتَةً
suddenly
وَهُمۡ
while they
لَا
(did) not
يَشۡعُرُونَ
perceive
٩٥
Then We exchanged in place of the bad [condition], good, until they increased [and prospered] and said, "Our fathers [also] were touched with hardship and ease."1 So We seized them suddenly while they did not perceive.2
7:96
وَلَوۡ
And if
أَنَّ
[that]
أَهۡلَ
people
ٱلۡقُرَىٰٓ
(of) the cities
ءَامَنُواۡ
(had) believed
وَٱتَّقَوۡاۡ
and feared Allah
لَفَتَحۡنَا
surely We (would have) opened
عَلَيۡهِم
upon them
بَرَكَـٰتٍ
blessings
مِّنَ
from
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the heaven
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ
and the earth
وَلَـٰكِن
but
كَذَّبُواۡ
they denied
فَأَخَذۡنَـٰهُم
So We seized them
بِمَا
for what
كَانُواۡ
they used to
يَكۡسِبُونَ
earn
٩٦
And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allāh, We would have opened [i.e., bestowed] upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We seized them for what they were earning.1
7:97
أَفَأَمِنَ
Then did feel secure
أَهۡلُ
(the) people
ٱلۡقُرَىٰٓ
(of) the cities
أَن
that
يَأۡتِيَهُم
comes to them
بَأۡسُنَا
Our punishment
بَيَـٰتًا
(at) night
وَهُمۡ
while they
نَآئِمُونَ
(were) asleep
٩٧
Then, did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them at night while they were asleep?
7:98
أَوَأَمِنَ
Or felt secure
أَهۡلُ
(the) people
ٱلۡقُرَىٰٓ
(of) the cities
أَن
that
يَأۡتِيَهُم
comes to them
بَأۡسُنَا
Our punishment
ضُحًى
(in) daylight
وَهُمۡ
while they
يَلۡعَبُونَ
(were) playing
٩٨
Or did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them in the morning while they were at play?1
7:99
أَفَأَمِنُواۡ
Then did they feel secure
مَكۡرَ
(from the) plan
ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ
(of) Allah
فَلَا
But not
يَأۡمَنُ
feel secure
مَكۡرَ
(from the) plan
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
إِلَّا
except
ٱلۡقَوۡمُ
the people
ٱلۡخَـٰسِرُونَ
(who are) the losers
٩٩
Then, did they feel secure from the plan of Allāh? But no one feels secure from the plan of Allāh except the losing people.
7:100
أَوَلَمۡ
Would it not
يَهۡدِ
guide
لِلَّذِينَ
[for] those who
يَرِثُونَ
inherit
ٱلۡأَرۡضَ
the land
مِنۢ
from
بَعۡدِ
after
أَهۡلِهَآ
its people
أَن
that
لَّوۡ
if
نَشَآءُ
We willed
أَصَبۡنَـٰهُم
We (could) afflict them
بِذُنُوبِهِمۡ‌ۚ
for their sins
وَنَطۡبَعُ
and We put a seal
عَلَىٰ
over
قُلُوبِهِمۡ
their hearts
فَهُمۡ
so they
لَا
(do) not
يَسۡمَعُونَ
hear
١٠٠
Has it not become clear to those who inherited the earth after its [previous] people that if We willed, We could afflict them for their sins? But We seal over their hearts so they do not hear.1
7:101
تِلۡكَ
These
ٱلۡقُرَىٰ
(were) the cities
نَقُصُّ
We relate
عَلَيۡكَ
to you
مِنۡ
of
أَنۢبَآئِهَا‌ۚ
their news
وَلَقَدۡ
And certainly
جَآءَتۡهُمۡ
came to them
رُسُلُهُم
their Messengers
بِٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتِ
with clear proofs
فَمَا
but not
كَانُواۡ
they were
لِيُؤۡمِنُواۡ
to believe
بِمَا
in what
كَذَّبُواۡ
they (had) denied
مِن
from
قَبۡلُ‌ۚ
before
كَذٰلِكَ
Thus
يَطۡبَعُ
(has been) put a seal
ٱللَّهُ
(by) Allah
عَلَىٰ
on
قُلُوبِ
(the) hearts
ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
(of) the disbelievers
١٠١
Those cities - We relate to you, [O Muḥammad], some of their news. And certainly did their messengers come to them with clear proofs, but they were not to believe in that which they had denied before.1 Thus does Allāh seal over the hearts of the disbelievers.
7:102
وَمَا
And not
وَجَدۡنَا
We found
لِأَكۡثَرِهِم
for most of them
مِّنۡ
any
عَهۡدٍ‌ۖ
covenant
وَإِن
But
وَجَدۡنَآ
We found
أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ
most of them
لَفَـٰسِقِينَ
certainly, defiantly disobedient
١٠٢
And We did not find for most of them any covenant;1 but indeed, We found most of them defiantly disobedient.
7:103
ثُمَّ
Then
بَعَثۡنَا
We sent
مِنۢ
from
بَعۡدِهِم
after them
مُّوسَىٰ
Musa
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَآ
with Our Signs
إِلَىٰ
to
فِرۡعَوۡنَ
Firaun
وَمَلَإِيۡهِۦ
and his chiefs
فَظَلَمُواۡ
But they were unjust
بِهَا‌ۖ
to them
فَٱنظُرۡ
So see
كَيۡفَ
how
كَانَ
was
عَـٰقِبَةُ
(the) end
ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ
(of) the corrupters
١٠٣
Then We sent after them Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were unjust toward them.1 So see how was the end of the corrupters.
7:104
وَقَالَ
And said
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
يَـٰفِرۡعَوۡنُ
O Firaun
إِنِّى
Indeed, I am
رَسُولٌ
a Messenger
مِّن
from
رَّبِّ
(the) Lord
ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ
(of) the worlds
١٠٤
And Moses said, "O Pharaoh, I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds
7:105
حَقِيقٌ
Obligated
عَلَىٰٓ
on
أَن
that
لَّآ
not
أَقُولَ
I say
عَلَى
about
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
إِلَّا
except
ٱلۡحَقَّ‌ۚ
the truth
قَدۡ
Verily
جِئۡتُكُم
I (have) come to you
بِبَيِّنَةٍ
with a clear Sign
مِّن
from
رَّبِّكُمۡ
your Lord
فَأَرۡسِلۡ
so send
مَعِىَ
with me
بَنِىٓ
(the) Children
إِسۡرٰٓءِيلَ
(of) Israel
١٠٥
[Who is] obligated not to say about Allāh except the truth. I have come to you with clear evidence from your Lord, so send with me the Children of Israel."1
7:106
قَالَ
He said
إِن
If
كُنتَ
you have
جِئۡتَ
come
بِـَٔـايَةٍ
with a Sign
فَأۡتِ
then bring
بِهَآ
it
إِن
if
كُنتَ
you are
مِنَ
of
ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ
the truthful
١٠٦
[Pharaoh] said, "If you have come with a sign, then bring it forth, if you should be of the truthful."
7:107
فَأَلۡقَىٰ
So he threw
عَصَاهُ
his staff
فَإِذَا
and suddenly
هِىَ
it
ثُعۡبَانٌ
(was) a serpent
مُّبِينٌ
manifest
١٠٧
So he [i.e., Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent, manifest.1
7:108
وَنَزَعَ
And he drew out
يَدَهُۥ
his hand
فَإِذَا
and suddenly
هِىَ
it
بَيۡضَآءُ
(was) white
لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ
for the observers
١٠٨
And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white [with radiance] for the observers.
7:109
قَالَ
Said
ٱلۡمَلَأُ
the chiefs
مِن
of
قَوۡمِ
(the) people
فِرۡعَوۡنَ
(of) Firaun
إِنَّ
Indeed
هَـٰذَا
this
لَسَـٰحِرٌ
(is) surely a magician
عَلِيمٌ
learned
١٠٩
Said the eminent among the people of Pharaoh, "Indeed, this is a learned magician
7:110
يُرِيدُ
He wants
أَن
to
يُخۡرِجَكُم
drive you out
مِّنۡ
from
أَرۡضِكُمۡ‌ۖ
your land
فَمَاذَا
so what
تَأۡمُرُونَ
(do) you instruct
١١٠
Who wants to expel you from your land [through magic], so what do you instruct?"
7:111
قَالُوٓاۡ
They said
أَرۡجِهۡ
Postpone him
وَأَخَاهُ
and his brother
وَأَرۡسِلۡ
and send
فِى
in
ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ
the cities
حَـٰشِرِينَ
gatherers
١١١
They said,1 "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
7:112
يَأۡتُوكَ
They (will) bring to you
بِكُلِّ
[with] every
سَـٰحِرٍ
magician
عَلِيمٍ
learned
١١٢
Who will bring you every learned magician."
7:113
وَجَآءَ
So came
ٱلسَّحَرَةُ
the magicians
فِرۡعَوۡنَ
(to) Firaun
قَالُوٓاۡ
They said
إِنَّ
Indeed
لَنَا
for us
لَأَجۡرًا
surely (will be) a reward
إِن
if
كُنَّا
we are
نَحۡنُ
[we]
ٱلۡغَـٰلِبِينَ
the victors
١١٣
And the magicians came to Pharaoh. They said, "Indeed for us is a reward if we are the predominant."
7:114
قَالَ
He said
نَعَمۡ
Yes
وَإِنَّكُمۡ
and indeed you
لَمِنَ
surely (will be) of
ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ
the ones who are near
١١٤
He said, "Yes, and, [moreover], you will be among those made near [to me]."
7:115
قَالُواۡ
They said
يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ
O Musa
إِمَّآ
Whether
أَن
[that]
تُلۡقِىَ
you throw
وَإِمَّآ
or Whether
أَن
[that]
نَّكُونَ
we will be
نَحۡنُ
[we]
ٱلۡمُلۡقِينَ
the ones to throw
١١٥
They said, "O Moses, either you throw [your staff], or we will be the ones to throw [first]."
7:116
قَالَ
He said
أَلۡقُواۡ‌ۖ
Throw
فَلَمَّآ
Then when
أَلۡقَوۡاۡ
they threw
سَحَرُوٓاۡ
they bewitched
أَعۡيُنَ
(the) eyes
ٱلنَّاسِ
(of) the people
وَٱسۡتَرۡهَبُوهُمۡ
and terrified them
وَجَآءُو
and came (up)
بِسِحۡرٍ
with a magic
عَظِيمٍ
great
١١٦
He said, "Throw," and when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people and struck terror into them, and they presented a great [feat of] magic.1
7:117
۞وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ
And We inspired
إِلَىٰ
to
مُوسَىٰٓ
Musa
أَنۡ
that
أَلۡقِ
Throw
عَصَاكَ‌ۖ
your staff
فَإِذَا
and suddenly
هِىَ
it
تَلۡقَفُ
swallow(ed)
مَا
what
يَأۡفِكُونَ
they (were) falsifying
١١٧
And We inspired to Moses, "Throw your staff," and at once it devoured what they were falsifying.
7:118
فَوَقَعَ
So was established
ٱلۡحَقُّ
the truth
وَبَطَلَ
and became futile
مَا
what
كَانُواۡ
they used to
يَعۡمَلُونَ
do
١١٨
So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing.
7:119
فَغُلِبُواۡ
So they were defeated
هُنَالِكَ
there
وَٱنقَلَبُواۡ
and returned
صَـٰغِرِينَ
humiliated
١١٩
And they [i.e., Pharaoh and his people] were overcome right there and became debased.
7:120
وَأُلۡقِىَ
And fell down
ٱلسَّحَرَةُ
the magicians
سَـٰجِدِينَ
prostrate
١٢٠
And the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allāh].
7:121
قَالُوٓاۡ
They said
ءَامَنَّا
We believe
بِرَبِّ
in (the) Lord
ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ
(of) the worlds
١٢١
They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,
7:122
رَبِّ
Lord
مُوسَىٰ
(of) Musa
وَهَـٰرُونَ
and Harun
١٢٢
The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
7:123
قَالَ
Said
فِرۡعَوۡنُ
Firaun
ءَامَنتُم
You believed
بِهِۦ
in him
قَبۡلَ
before
أَنۡ
[that]
ءَاذَنَ
I give permission
لَكُمۡ‌ۖ
to you
إِنَّ
Indeed
هَـٰذَا
this
لَمَكۡرٌ
(is) surely a plot
مَّكَرۡتُمُوهُ
you have plotted it
فِى
in
ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ
the city
لِتُخۡرِجُواۡ
so that you may drive out
مِنۡهَآ
from it
أَهۡلَهَا‌ۖ
its people
فَسَوۡفَ
But soon
تَعۡلَمُونَ
you will know
١٢٣
Said Pharaoh, "You believed in him1 before I gave you permission. Indeed, this is a conspiracy which you conspired in the city to expel therefrom its people. But you are going to know.
7:124
لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ
I will surely cut off
أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ
your hands
وَأَرۡجُلَكُم
and your feet
مِّنۡ
of
خِلَـٰفٍ
opposite (sides)
ثُمَّ
Then
لَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ
I will surely crucify you
أَجۡمَعِينَ
all
١٢٤
I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides; then I will surely crucify you all."
7:125
قَالُوٓاۡ
They said
إِنَّآ
Indeed, we
إِلَىٰ
to
رَبِّنَا
our Lord
مُنقَلِبُونَ
(will) return
١٢٥
They said, "Indeed, to our Lord we will return.
7:126
وَمَا
And not
تَنقِمُ
you take revenge
مِنَّآ
from us
إِلَّآ
except
أَنۡ
that
ءَامَنَّا
we believed
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِ

they came to us
رَبَّنَآ
Our Lord

Pour
عَلَيۡنَا
upon us
صَبۡرًا
patience
وَتَوَفَّنَا
and cause us to die
مُسۡلِمِينَ
(as) Muslims
١٢٦
And you do not resent us except because we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord, pour upon us patience1 and let us die as Muslims [in submission to You]."
7:127
وَقَالَ
And said
ٱلۡمَلَأُ
the chiefs
مِن
of
قَوۡمِ
(the) people
فِرۡعَوۡنَ
(of) Firaun
أَتَذَرُ
Will you leave
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
وَقَوۡمَهُۥ
and his people
لِيُفۡسِدُواۡ
so that they cause corruption
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
وَيَذَرَكَ
and forsake you
وَءَالِهَتَكَ‌ۚ
and your gods
قَالَ
He said
سَنُقَتِّلُ
We will kill
أَبۡنَآءَهُمۡ
their sons
وَنَسۡتَحۡىِۦ
and we will let live
نِسَآءَهُمۡ
their women
وَإِنَّا
and indeed, we
فَوۡقَهُمۡ
over them
قَـٰهِرُونَ
(are) subjugators
١٢٧
And the eminent among the people of Pharaoh said, "Will you leave Moses and his people to cause corruption in the land and abandon you and your gods?" [Pharaoh] said, "We will kill their sons and keep their women alive; and indeed, we are subjugators over them."
7:128
قَالَ
Said
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
لِقَوۡمِهِ
to his people
ٱسۡتَعِينُواۡ
Seek help
بِٱللَّهِ

إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلۡأَرۡضَ
the earth

وَٱلۡعَـٰقِبَةُ
And the end
لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ
(is) for the righteous
١٢٨
Said Moses to his people, "Seek help through Allāh and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allāh. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous."
7:129

عَدُوَّكُمۡ
your enemy
وَيَسۡتَخۡلِفَكُمۡ
and make you successors
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
فَيَنظُرَ
then see
كَيۡفَ
how
تَعۡمَلُونَ
you will do
١٢٩
They said, "We have been harmed before you came to us and after you have come to us." He said, "Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and grant you succession in the land and see how you will do."
7:130
وَلَقَدۡ
And certainly
أَخَذۡنَآ
We seized
ءَالَ
(the) people
فِرۡعَوۡنَ
(of) Firaun
بِٱلسِّنِينَ
with years (of famine)
وَنَقۡصٍ
and a deficit
مِّنَ
of
ٱلثَّمَرٰتِ
[the] fruits
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they may
يَذَّكَّرُونَ
receive admonition
١٣٠
And We certainly seized1 the people of Pharaoh with years of famine and a deficiency in fruits that perhaps they would be reminded.
7:131
فَإِذَا
But when
جَآءَتۡهُمُ
came to them
ٱلۡحَسَنَةُ
the good
قَالُواۡ
they said
لَنَا
For us
هَـٰذِهِۦ‌ۖ
(is) this
وَإِن
And if
تُصِبۡهُمۡ
afflicts them
سَيِّئَةٌ
bad
يَطَّيَّرُواۡ
they ascribe evil omens
بِمُوسَىٰ
to Musa
وَمَن
and who
مَّعَهُۥٓ‌ۗ
(were) with him
أَلَآ
Behold
إِنَّمَا
Only
طَـٰٓئِرُهُمۡ
their evil omens
عِندَ
(are) with
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
وَلَـٰكِنَّ
but
أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ
most of them
لَا
(do) not
يَعۡلَمُونَ
know
١٣١
But when good [i.e., provision] came to them, they said, "This is ours [by right]." And if a bad [condition] struck them, they saw an evil omen in Moses and those with him. Unquestionably, their fortune is with Allāh, but most of them do not know.
7:132
وَقَالُواۡ
And they said
مَهۡمَا
Whatever
تَأۡتِنَا
you bring us
بِهِۦ
therewith
مِنۡ
of
ءَايَةٍ
(the) sign
لِّتَسۡحَرَنَا
so that you bewitch us
بِهَا
with it
فَمَا
then not
نَحۡنُ
we
لَكَ
(will be) in you
بِمُؤۡمِنِينَ
believers
١٣٢
And they said, "No matter what sign you bring us with which to bewitch us, we will not be believers in you."
7:133
فَأَرۡسَلۡنَا
So We sent
عَلَيۡهِمُ
on them
ٱلطُّوفَانَ
the flood
وَٱلۡجَرَادَ
and the locusts
وَٱلۡقُمَّلَ
and the lice
وَٱلضَّفَادِعَ
and the frogs
وَٱلدَّمَ
and the blood
ءَايَـٰتٍ
(as) signs
مُّفَصَّلَـٰتٍ
manifest
فَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواۡ
but they showed arrogance
وَكَانُواۡ
and they were
قَوۡمًا
a people
مُّجۡرِمِينَ
criminal
١٣٣
So We sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood as distinct signs, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people.
7:134
وَلَمَّا
And when
وَقَعَ
fell
عَلَيۡهِمُ
on them
ٱلرِّجۡزُ
the punishment
قَالُواۡ
they said
يَـٰمُوسَى
O Musa
ٱدۡعُ
Invoke
لَنَا
for us
رَبَّكَ
your Lord
بِمَا
by what
عَهِدَ
He has promised
عِندَكَ‌ۖ
to you
لَئِن
If
كَشَفۡتَ
you remove
عَنَّا
from us
ٱلرِّجۡزَ
the punishment
لَنُؤۡمِنَنَّ
surely, we will believe
لَكَ
[for] you
وَلَنُرۡسِلَنَّ
and surely, we will send
مَعَكَ
with you
بَنِىٓ
(the) Children
إِسۡرٰٓءِيلَ
(of) Israel
١٣٤
And when the punishment descended upon them, they said, "O Moses, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. If you [can] remove the punishment from us, we will surely believe you, and we will send with you the Children of Israel."
7:135
فَلَمَّا
But when
كَشَفۡنَا
We removed
عَنۡهُمُ
from them
ٱلرِّجۡزَ
the punishment
إِلَىٰٓ
till
أَجَلٍ
a (fixed) term
هُم
(which) they
بَـٰلِغُوهُ
were to reach [it]
إِذَا
then
هُمۡ
they
يَنكُثُونَ
broke (the word)
١٣٥
But when We removed the punishment from them until a term which they were to reach,1 then at once they broke their word.
7:136
فَٱنتَقَمۡنَا
So We took retribution
مِنۡهُمۡ
from them
فَأَغۡرَقۡنَـٰهُمۡ
and We drowned them
فِى
in
ٱلۡيَمِّ
the sea
بِأَنَّهُمۡ
because they
كَذَّبُواۡ
denied
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا
Our Signs
وَكَانُواۡ
and they were
عَنۡهَا
to them
غَـٰفِلِينَ
heedless
١٣٦
So We took retribution from them, and We drowned them in the sea because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.
7:137
وَأَوۡرَثۡنَا
And We made inheritors
ٱلۡقَوۡمَ
the people
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
كَانُواۡ
were
يُسۡتَضۡعَفُونَ
considered weak
مَشَـٰرِقَ
(the) eastern (parts)
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
(of) the land
وَمَغَـٰرِبَهَا
and the western (parts) of it
ٱلَّتِى
which
بَـٰرَكۡنَا
We blessed
فِيهَا‌ۖ
[in it]
وَتَمَّتۡ
And was fulfilled
كَلِمَتُ
(the) word
رَبِّكَ
(of) your Lord
ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ
the best
عَلَىٰ
for
بَنِىٓ
(the) Children
إِسۡرٰٓءِيلَ
(of) Israel
بِمَا
because
صَبَرُواۡ‌ۖ
they were patient
وَدَمَّرۡنَا
And We destroyed
مَا
what
كَانَ
used to
يَصۡنَعُ
make
فِرۡعَوۡنُ
Firaun
وَقَوۡمُهُۥ
and his people
وَمَا
and what
كَانُواۡ
they used to
يَعۡرِشُونَ
erect
١٣٧
And We caused the people who had been oppressed to inherit the eastern regions of the land and the western ones, which We had blessed. And the good word [i.e., decree] of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of what they had patiently endured. And We destroyed [all] that Pharaoh and his people were producing and what they had been building.
7:138
وَجَـٰوَزۡنَا
And We led across
بِبَنِىٓ
(the) Children
إِسۡرٰٓءِيلَ
(of) Israel
ٱلۡبَحۡرَ
the sea
فَأَتَوۡاۡ
Then they came
عَلَىٰ
upon
قَوۡمٍ
a people
يَعۡكُفُونَ
devoted
عَلَىٰٓ
to
أَصۡنَامٍ
idols
لَّهُمۡ‌ۚ
of theirs
قَالُواۡ
They said
يَـٰمُوسَى
O Musa
ٱجۡعَل
Make
لَّنَآ
for us
إِلَـٰهًا
a god
كَمَا
like what
لَهُمۡ
they have
ءَالِهَةٌ‌ۚ
gods
قَالَ
He said
إِنَّكُمۡ
Indeed, you
قَوۡمٌ
(are) a people
تَجۡهَلُونَ
ignorant
١٣٨
And We took the Children of Israel across the sea; then they came upon a people intent in devotion to [some] idols of theirs. They [the Children of Israel] said, "O Moses, make for us a god just as they have gods." He said, "Indeed, you are a people behaving ignorantly.
7:139
إِنَّ
Indeed
هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ
these
مُتَبَّرٌ
destroyed
مَّا
(is) what
هُمۡ
they
فِيهِ
(are) in it
وَبَـٰطِلٌ
and vain
مَّا
(is) what
كَانُواۡ
they used to
يَعۡمَلُونَ
do
١٣٩
Indeed, those [worshippers] - destroyed is that in which they are [engaged], and worthless is whatever they were doing."
7:140
قَالَ
He said
أَغَيۡرَ
Should other than
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
أَبۡغِيكُمۡ
I seek for you
إِلَـٰهًا
a god
وَهُوَ
while He
فَضَّلَكُمۡ
has preferred you
عَلَى
over
ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ
the worlds
١٤٠
He said, "Is it other than Allāh I should desire for you as a god1 while He has preferred you over the worlds?"
7:141
وَإِذۡ
And when
أَنجَيۡنَـٰكُم
We saved you
مِّنۡ
from
ءَالِ
(the) people
فِرۡعَوۡنَ
(of) Firaun
يَسُومُونَكُمۡ
who were afflicting you
سُوٓءَ
(with) worst
ٱلۡعَذَابِ‌ۖ
(of) torment
يُقَتِّلُونَ
they were killing
أَبۡنَآءَكُمۡ
your sons
وَيَسۡتَحۡيُونَ
and letting live
نِسَآءَكُمۡ‌ۚ
your women
وَفِى
And in
ذٰلِكُم
that
بَلَآءٌ
(was) a trial
مِّن
from
رَّبِّكُمۡ
your Lord
عَظِيمٌ
great
١٤١
And [recall, O Children of Israel], when We saved you from the people of Pharaoh, [who were] afflicting you with the worst torment - killing your sons and keeping your women alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord.
7:142
۞وَوٰعَدۡنَا
And We appointed
مُوسَىٰ
(for) Musa
ثَلَـٰثِينَ
thirty
لَيۡلَةً
nights
وَأَتۡمَمۡنَـٰهَا
and We completed them
بِعَشۡرٍ
with ten (more)
فَتَمَّ
so was completed
مِيقَـٰتُ
(the) set term
رَبِّهِۦٓ
(of) his Lord
أَرۡبَعِينَ
(of) forty
لَيۡلَةً‌ۚ
night(s)
وَقَالَ
And said
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
لِأَخِيهِ
to his brother
هَـٰرُونَ
Harun
ٱخۡلُفۡنِى
Take my place
فِى
in
قَوۡمِى
my people
وَأَصۡلِحۡ
and do right
وَلَا
and (do) not
تَتَّبِعۡ
follow
سَبِيلَ
(the) way
ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ
(of) the corrupters
١٤٢
And We made an appointment with Moses for thirty nights and perfected them by [the addition of] ten; so the term of his Lord was completed as forty nights. And Moses said to his brother Aaron, "Take my place among my people, do right [by them],1 and do not follow the way of the corrupters."
7:143
وَلَمَّا
And when
جَآءَ
came
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
لِمِيقَـٰتِنَا
to Our appointed place
وَكَلَّمَهُۥ
and spoke to him
رَبُّهُۥ
his Lord
قَالَ
he said
رَبِّ
O my Lord
أَرِنِىٓ
Show me
أَنظُرۡ
(that) I may look
إِلَيۡكَ‌ۚ
at You
قَالَ
He said
لَن
Never
تَرَٮٰنِى
you (can) see Me
وَلَـٰكِنِ
but
ٱنظُرۡ
look
إِلَى
at
ٱلۡجَبَلِ
the mountain
فَإِنِ
[then] if
ٱسۡتَقَرَّ
it remains
مَكَانَهُۥ
in its place
فَسَوۡفَ
then
تَرَٮٰنِى‌ۚ
you (will) see Me
فَلَمَّا
But when
تَجَلَّىٰ
revealed (His) Glory
رَبُّهُۥ
his Lord
لِلۡجَبَلِ
to the mountain
جَعَلَهُۥ
He made it
دَكًّا
crumbled to dust
وَخَرَّ
and fell down
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
صَعِقًا‌ۚ
unconscious
فَلَمَّآ
And when
أَفَاقَ
he recovered
قَالَ
he said
سُبۡحَـٰنَكَ
Glory be to You
تُبۡتُ
I turn (in repentance)
إِلَيۡكَ
to you
وَأَنَاۡ
and I am
أَوَّلُ
(the) first
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
(of) the believers
١٤٣
And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, "My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You." [Allāh] said, "You will not see Me,1 but look at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will see Me." But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level,2 and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, "Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first [among my people] of the believers."3
7:144
قَالَ
He said
يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ
O Musa
إِنِّى
Indeed, I
ٱصۡطَفَيۡتُكَ
have chosen you
عَلَى
over
ٱلنَّاسِ
the people
بِرِسَـٰلَـٰتِى
with My Messages
وَبِكَلَـٰمِى
and with My words
فَخُذۡ
So take
مَآ
what
ءَاتَيۡتُكَ
I have given you
وَكُن
and be
مِّنَ
among
ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ
the grateful
١٤٤
[Allāh] said, "O Moses, I have chosen you over the people with My messages and My words [to you]. So take what I have given you and be among the grateful."
7:145
وَكَتَبۡنَا
And We ordained (laws)
لَهُۥ
for him
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَلۡوَاحِ
the tablets
مِن
of
كُلِّ
every
شَىۡءٍ
thing
مَّوۡعِظَةً
an instruction
وَتَفۡصِيلاً
and explanation
لِّكُلِّ
for every
شَىۡءٍ
thing
فَخُذۡهَا
So take them
بِقُوَّةٍ
with firmness
وَأۡمُرۡ
and order
قَوۡمَكَ
your people
يَأۡخُذُواۡ
(to) take
بِأَحۡسَنِهَا‌ۚ
(the) best of it
سَأُوۡرِيكُمۡ
I will show you
دَارَ
(the) home
ٱلۡفَـٰسِقِينَ
(of) the defiantly disobedient
١٤٥
And We wrote for him on the tablets [something] of all things - instruction and explanation for all things, [saying], "Take them with determination and order your people to take the best of it. I will show you the home of the defiantly disobedient."1
7:146
سَأَصۡرِفُ
I will turn away
عَنۡ
from
ءَايَـٰتِىَ
My Signs
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
يَتَكَبَّرُونَ
are arrogant
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
بِغَيۡرِ
without
ٱلۡحَقِّ
[the] right
وَإِن
and if
يَرَوۡاۡ
they see
كُلَّ
every
ءَايَةٍ
sign
لَّا
not
يُؤۡمِنُواۡ
(will) they believe
بِهَا
in it
وَإِن
And if
يَرَوۡاۡ
they see
سَبِيلَ
(the) way
ٱلرُّشۡدِ
(of) the righteousness
لَا
not
يَتَّخِذُوهُ
(will) they take it
سَبِيلاً
(as) a way
وَإِن
but if
يَرَوۡاۡ
they see
سَبِيلَ
(the) way
ٱلۡغَىِّ
(of) [the] error
يَتَّخِذُوهُ
they will take it
سَبِيلاً‌ۚ
(as) a way
ذٰلِكَ
That
بِأَنَّهُمۡ
(is) because they
كَذَّبُواۡ
denied
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا
Our Signs
وَكَانُواۡ
and they were
عَنۡهَا
of them
غَـٰفِلِينَ
heedless
١٤٦
I will turn away from My signs those who are arrogant upon the earth without right; and if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. And if they see the way of consciousness,1 they will not adopt it as a way; but if they see the way of error, they will adopt it as a way. That is because they have denied Our signs and they were heedless of them.
7:147
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those who
كَذَّبُواۡ
denied
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا
Our Signs
وَلِقَآءِ
and (the) meeting
ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ
(of) the Hereafter
حَبِطَتۡ
worthless
أَعۡمَـٰلُهُمۡ‌ۚ
(are) their deeds
هَلۡ
Will
يُجۡزَوۡنَ
they be recompensed
إِلَّا
except
مَا
(for) what
كَانُواۡ
they used to
يَعۡمَلُونَ
do
١٤٧
Those who denied Our signs and the meeting of the Hereafter - their deeds have become worthless. Are they recompensed except for what they used to do?
7:148
وَٱتَّخَذَ
And took
قَوۡمُ
(the) people
مُوسَىٰ
(of) Musa
مِنۢ
from
بَعۡدِهِۦ
after him
مِنۡ
from
حُلِيِّهِمۡ
their ornaments
عِجۡلاً
a calf
جَسَدًا
an image
لَّهُۥ
[for] it
خُوَارٌ‌ۚ
(had) a lowing sound
أَلَمۡ
Did not
يَرَوۡاۡ
they see
أَنَّهُۥ

speak to them
وَلَا
and not
يَهۡدِيهِمۡ
guide them
سَبِيلاً‌ۘ
(to) a way
ٱتَّخَذُوهُ
They took it (for worship)
وَكَانُواۡ
and they were
ظَـٰلِمِينَ
wrongdoers
١٤٨
And the people of Moses made, after [his departure], from their ornaments a calf - an image having a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to a way? They took it [for worship], and they were wrongdoers.
7:149
وَلَمَّا
And when
سُقِطَ
(it was made to) fall
فِىٓ
into
أَيۡدِيهِمۡ
their hands
وَرَأَوۡاۡ
and they saw
أَنَّهُمۡ
that they
قَدۡ

قَالُواۡ
they said
لَئِن
If
لَّمۡ
not

has Mercy on us
رَبُّنَا
Our Lord
وَيَغۡفِرۡ
and forgive
لَنَا
[for] us
لَنَكُونَنَّ
we will surely be
مِنَ
among
ٱلۡخَـٰسِرِينَ
the losers
١٤٩
And when regret overcame them1 and they saw that they had gone astray, they said, "If our Lord does not have mercy upon us and forgive us, we will surely be among the losers."
7:150
وَلَمَّا
And when
رَجَعَ
returned
مُوسَىٰٓ
Musa
إِلَىٰ
to
قَوۡمِهِۦ
his people
غَضۡبَـٰنَ
angry
أَسِفًا
and grieved
قَالَ
he said
بِئۡسَمَا
Evil is what
خَلَفۡتُمُونِى
you have done in my place
مِنۢ
from
بَعۡدِىٓ‌ۖ
after me
أَعَجِلۡتُمۡ
Were you impatient
أَمۡرَ
(over the) matter
رَبِّكُمۡ‌ۖ
(of) your Lord
وَأَلۡقَى
And he cast down
ٱلۡأَلۡوَاحَ
the tablets
وَأَخَذَ
and seized
بِرَأۡسِ
by head
أَخِيهِ
his brother
يَجُرُّهُۥٓ
dragging him
إِلَيۡهِ‌ۚ
to himself
قَالَ
He said
ٱبۡنَ
O son
أُمَّ
(of) my mother
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلۡقَوۡمَ
the people
ٱسۡتَضۡعَفُونِى
considered me weak
وَكَادُواۡ
and were about to
يَقۡتُلُونَنِى
kill me
فَلَا
So (let) not
تُشۡمِتۡ
rejoice
بِىَ
over me
ٱلۡأَعۡدَآءَ
the enemies
وَلَا
and (do) not
تَجۡعَلۡنِى
place me
مَعَ
with
ٱلۡقَوۡمِ
the people
ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
(who are) wrongdoing
١٥٠
And when Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said, "How wretched is that by which you have replaced me after [my departure]. Were you impatient over the matter of your Lord?" And he threw down the tablets and seized his brother by [the hair of] his head, pulling him toward him. [Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, indeed the people overpowered me and were about to kill me, so let not the enemies rejoice over me1 and do not place me among the wrongdoing people."
7:151
قَالَ
He said
رَبِّ
O my Lord
ٱغۡفِرۡ
Forgive
لِى
me
وَلِأَخِى
and my brother
وَأَدۡخِلۡنَا
and admit us
فِى
into
رَحۡمَتِكَ‌ۖ
Your Mercy
وَأَنتَ
for You
أَرۡحَمُ
(are) the Most Merciful
ٱلرّٰحِمِينَ
(of) the merciful
١٥١
[Moses] said, "My Lord, forgive me and my brother and admit us into Your mercy, for You are the most merciful of the merciful."
7:152
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ٱتَّخَذُواۡ
took
ٱلۡعِجۡلَ
the calf
سَيَنَالُهُمۡ
will reach them
غَضَبٌ
wrath
مِّن
from
رَّبِّهِمۡ
their Lord
وَذِلَّةٌ
and humiliation
فِى
in
ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ
the life
ٱلدُّنۡيَا‌ۚ
(of) the world
وَكَذٰلِكَ
And thus
نَجۡزِى
We recompense
ٱلۡمُفۡتَرِينَ
the ones who invent (falsehood)
١٥٢
Indeed, those who took the calf [for worship] will obtain anger from their Lord and humiliation in the life of this world, and thus do We recompense the inventors [of falsehood].
7:153
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those who
عَمِلُواۡ
do
ٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتِ
the evil deeds
ثُمَّ
then
تَابُواۡ
repented
مِنۢ
from
بَعۡدِهَا
after that
وَءَامَنُوٓاۡ

إِنَّ
indeed
رَبَّكَ
your Lord
مِنۢ
from
بَعۡدِهَا
after that
لَغَفُورٌ
(is) surely Oft-Forgiving
رَّحِيمٌ
Most Merciful
١٥٣
But those who committed misdeeds and then repented after them and believed - indeed your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful.
7:154
وَلَمَّا
And when
سَكَتَ
was calmed
عَن
from
مُّوسَى
Musa
ٱلۡغَضَبُ
the anger
أَخَذَ
he took (up)
ٱلۡأَلۡوَاحَ‌ۖ
the tablets

نُسۡخَتِهَا
their inscription
هُدًى

for those who
هُمۡ
[they]
لِرَبِّهِمۡ
of their Lord
يَرۡهَبُونَ
(are) fearful
١٥٤
And when the anger subsided in Moses, he took up the tablets; and in their inscription was guidance and mercy for those who are fearful of their Lord.
7:155
وَٱخۡتَارَ
And chose
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
قَوۡمَهُۥ
(from) his people
سَبۡعِينَ
seventy
رَجُلاً
men
لِّمِيقَـٰتِنَا‌ۖ
for Our appointment
فَلَمَّآ
Then when
أَخَذَتۡهُمُ
seized them
ٱلرَّجۡفَةُ
the earthquake
قَالَ
he said
رَبِّ
O my Lord
لَوۡ
If
شِئۡتَ
you (had) willed
أَهۡلَكۡتَهُم
You (could) have destroyed them
مِّن

ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ
the foolish

among us
إِنۡ
Not

it (was)

فِتۡنَتُكَ
Your trial

You let go astray
بِهَا
by it
مَن

تَشَآءُ
You will
وَتَهۡدِى

مَن

You

us

and have mercy upon us
وَأَنتَ
and You
خَيۡرُ
(are) Best
ٱلۡغَـٰفِرِينَ
(of) Forgivers
١٥٥
And Moses chose from his people seventy men for Our appointment.1 And when the earthquake seized them,2 he said, "My Lord, if You had willed, You could have destroyed them before and me [as well]. Would You destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? This is not but Your trial by which You send astray whom You will and guide whom You will. You are our Protector, so forgive us and have mercy upon us; and You are the best of forgivers.

And decree for us in this world [that which is] good and [also] in the Hereafter; indeed, we have turned back to You." [Allāh] said, "My punishment - I afflict with it whom I will, but My mercy encompasses all things." So I will decree it [especially] for those who fear Me and give zakāh and those who believe in Our verses-
7:157
ٱلَّذِينَ
Those who
يَتَّبِعُونَ
follow
ٱلرَّسُولَ
the Messenger
ٱلنَّبِىَّ
the Prophet
ٱلۡأُمِّىَّ
the unlettered

the Taurat

and the Injeel
يَأۡمُرُهُم
He commands them
بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ
to the right
وَيَنۡهَـٰهُمۡ
and forbids them
عَنِ
from
ٱلۡمُنكَرِ
the wrong
وَيُحِلُّ
and he makes lawful
لَهُمُ
for them
ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ
the pure things
وَيُحَرِّمُ
and makes unlawful
عَلَيۡهِمُ
for them
ٱلۡخَبَـٰٓئِثَ
the impure things
وَيَضَعُ
and he relieves

from them
إِصۡرَهُمۡ
their burden
وَٱلۡأَغۡلَـٰلَ
and the fetters
ٱلَّتِى
which

وَٱتَّبَعُواۡ

ٱلنُّورَ
the light
ٱلَّذِىٓ
which

with him

Those (are)

the successful ones
١٥٧
Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written [i.e., described] in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and prohibits them from what is wrong and makes lawful for them what is good and forbids them from what is evil and relieves them of their burden1 and the shackles which were upon them.2 So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful.

Say, [O Muḥammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allāh to you all, [from Him] to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death." So believe in Allāh and His Messenger, the unlettered prophet, who believes in Allāh and His words, and follow him that you may be guided.

And among the people of Moses is a community1 which guides by truth and by it establishes justice.
7:160
وَقَطَّعۡنَـٰهُمُ
And We divided them
ٱثۡنَتَىۡ
(into) two
عَشۡرَةَ
(and) ten [i.e. twelve]
أَسۡبَاطًا
tribes
أُمَمًا‌ۚ
(as) communities
وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ
And We inspired
إِلَىٰ
to
مُوسَىٰٓ
Musa
إِذِ
when
ٱسۡتَسۡقَـٰهُ
asked him for water
قَوۡمُهُۥٓ
his people
أَنِ
[that]
ٱضۡرِب
Strike
بِّعَصَاكَ
with your staff
ٱلۡحَجَرَ‌ۖ
the stone
فَٱنۢبَجَسَتۡ
Then gushed forth
مِنۡهُ
from it
ٱثۡنَتَا
two
عَشۡرَةَ
(and) ten [i.e. twelve]
عَيۡنًا‌ۖ
springs
قَدۡ
Certainly
عَلِمَ
knew
كُلُّ
each
أُنَاسٍ
people
مَّشۡرَبَهُمۡ‌ۚ
their drinking place
وَظَلَّلۡنَا
And We shaded
عَلَيۡهِمُ
[on] them
ٱلۡغَمَـٰمَ
(with) the clouds
وَأَنزَلۡنَا
and We sent down
عَلَيۡهِمُ
upon them
ٱلۡمَنَّ
the manna
وَٱلسَّلۡوَىٰ‌ۖ
and the quails
كُلُواۡ
Eat
مِن
from

(the) good things
مَا
which
رَزَقۡنَـٰكُمۡ‌ۚ
We have provided you

And not

they wronged Us
وَلَـٰكِن
but
كَانُوٓاۡ
they were
أَنفُسَهُمۡ
(to) themselves
يَظۡلِمُونَ
doing wrong
١٦٠
And We divided them into twelve descendant tribes1 [as distinct] nations. And We inspired to Moses when his people implored him for water, "Strike with your staff the stone," and there gushed forth from it twelve springs. Every people [i.e., tribe] knew its watering place. And We shaded them with clouds and sent down upon them manna and quails, [saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you." And they wronged Us not, but they were [only] wronging themselves.
7:161
وَإِذۡ
And when
قِيلَ
it was said
لَهُمُ
to them
ٱسۡكُنُواۡ
Live
هَـٰذِهِ
(in) this
ٱلۡقَرۡيَةَ
city
وَكُلُواۡ
and eat
مِنۡهَا
from it
حَيۡثُ
wherever
شِئۡتُمۡ
you wish
وَقُولُواۡ
and say
حِطَّةٌ
Repentance
وَٱدۡخُلُواۡ
and enter
ٱلۡبَابَ
the gate
سُجَّدًا
prostrating
نَّغۡفِرۡ
We will forgive
لَكُمۡ
for you
خَطِيٓـَٔـٰتِكُمۡ‌ۚ
your sins
سَنَزِيدُ
We will increase (reward)
ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
(of) the good-doers
١٦١
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when it was said to them, "Dwell in this city [i.e., Jerusalem] and eat from it wherever you will and say, 'Relieve us of our burdens [i.e., sins],' and enter the gate bowing humbly; We will [then] forgive you your sins. We will increase the doers of good [in goodness and reward]."
7:162
فَبَدَّلَ
But changed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ظَلَمُواۡ
wronged
مِنۡهُمۡ
among them
قَوۡلاً
word
غَيۡرَ
other than
ٱلَّذِى
(that) which
قِيلَ
was said
لَهُمۡ
to them
فَأَرۡسَلۡنَا
So We sent
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
upon them
رِجۡزًا
torment
مِّنَ
from
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the sky
بِمَا
because
كَانُواۡ
they were
يَظۡلِمُونَ
doing wrong
١٦٢
But those who wronged among them changed [the words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them. So We sent upon them a punishment from the sky for the wrong that they were doing.
7:163
وَسۡــَٔلۡهُمۡ
And ask them
عَنِ
about
ٱلۡقَرۡيَةِ
the town
ٱلَّتِى
which
كَانَتۡ
was
حَاضِرَةَ
situated
ٱلۡبَحۡرِ
(by) the sea
إِذۡ
when
يَعۡدُونَ
they transgressed
فِى
in
ٱلسَّبۡتِ
the (matter of) Sabbath
إِذۡ
when
تَأۡتِيهِمۡ
came to them
حِيتَانُهُمۡ
their fish
يَوۡمَ
(on the) day
سَبۡتِهِمۡ
(of) their Sabbath
شُرَّعًا
visibly
وَيَوۡمَ
and (on the) day
لَا
not
يَسۡبِتُونَ‌ۙ
they had Sabbath
لَا
(they did) not
تَأۡتِيهِمۡ‌ۚ
come to them
كَذٰلِكَ
Thus
نَبۡلُوهُم
We test them
بِمَا
because
كَانُواۡ
they were
يَفۡسُقُونَ
defiantly disobeying
١٦٣
And ask them about the town that was by the sea - when they transgressed in [the matter of] the sabbath - when their fish came to them openly on their sabbath day, and the day they had no sabbath they did not come to them. Thus did We give them trial because they were defiantly disobedient.
7:164
وَإِذۡ
And when
قَالَتۡ
said
أُمَّةٌ
a community
مِّنۡهُمۡ
among them
لِمَ
Why
تَعِظُونَ
(do) you preach
قَوۡمًا‌ۙ
a people
ٱللَّهُ
(whom) Allah
مُهۡلِكُهُمۡ
(is going to) destroy them
أَوۡ
or
مُعَذِّبُهُمۡ
punish them
عَذَابًا
(with) a punishment
شَدِيدًا‌ۖ
severe
قَالُواۡ
They said
مَعۡذِرَةً
To be absolved
إِلَىٰ
before
رَبِّكُمۡ
your Lord
وَلَعَلَّهُمۡ
and that they may
يَتَّقُونَ
become righteous
١٦٤
And when a community among them said, "Why do you advise [or warn] a people whom Allāh is [about] to destroy or to punish with a severe punishment?" they [the advisors] said, "To be absolved before your Lord and perhaps they may fear Him."
7:165
فَلَمَّا
So when
نَسُواۡ
they forgot
مَا
what
ذُكِّرُواۡ
they had been reminded
بِهِۦٓ
with [it]
أَنجَيۡنَا
We saved
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
يَنۡهَوۡنَ
forbade
عَنِ
[from]
ٱلسُّوٓءِ
the evil
وَأَخَذۡنَا
and We seized
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ظَلَمُواۡ
wronged
بِعَذَابِۭ
with a punishment
بَــِٔيسِۭ
wretched
بِمَا
because
كَانُواۡ
they were
يَفۡسُقُونَ
defiantly disobeying
١٦٥
And when they [i.e., those advised] forgot that by which they had been reminded, We saved those who had forbidden evil and seized those who wronged, with a wretched punishment, because they were defiantly disobeying.
7:166
فَلَمَّا
So when
عَتَوۡاۡ
they exceeded all bounds
عَن
about
مَّا
what
نُهُواۡ
they were forbidden
عَنۡهُ
from it
قُلۡنَا
We said
لَهُمۡ
to them
كُونُواۡ
Be
قِرَدَةً
apes
خَـٰسِــِٔينَ
despised
١٦٦
So when they were insolent about that which they had been forbidden, We said to them, "Be apes, despised."
7:167
وَإِذۡ
And when
تَأَذَّنَ
declared
رَبُّكَ
your Lord

that He would surely send
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
upon them
إِلَىٰ
till
يَوۡمِ
(the) Day
ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ
(of) the Resurrection
مَن
(those) who
يَسُومُهُمۡ
would afflict them
سُوٓءَ
(with) a grievous
ٱلۡعَذَابِ‌ۗ
[the] punishment
إِنَّ
Indeed
رَبَّكَ
your Lord
لَسَرِيعُ
(is) surely swift
ٱلۡعِقَابِ‌ۖ
(in) the retribution
وَإِنَّهُۥ
but indeed, He
لَغَفُورٌ
(is) surely Oft-Forgiving
رَّحِيمٌ
Most Merciful
١٦٧
And [mention] when your Lord declared that He would surely [continue to] send upon them until the Day of Resurrection those who would afflict them with the worst torment. Indeed, your Lord is swift in penalty; but indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful.
7:168
وَقَطَّعۡنَـٰهُمۡ
And We divided them
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
أُمَمًا‌ۖ
(as) nations
مِّنۡهُمُ
Among them
ٱلصَّـٰلِحُونَ
(are) the righteous
وَمِنۡهُمۡ
and among them
دُونَ
(are) other than
ذٰلِكَ‌ۖ
that
وَبَلَوۡنَـٰهُم
And We tested them
بِٱلۡحَسَنَـٰتِ
with the good
وَٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتِ
and the bad
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they may
يَرۡجِعُونَ
return
١٦٨
And We divided them throughout the earth into nations. Of them some were righteous, and of them some were otherwise. And We tested them with good [times] and bad that perhaps they would return [to obedience].
7:169
فَخَلَفَ
Then succeeded
مِنۢ
from
بَعۡدِهِمۡ
after them
خَلۡفٌ
successors

(who) inherited
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ

taking
عَرَضَ
goods
هَـٰذَا
(of) this
ٱلۡأَدۡنَىٰ
the lower (life)
وَيَقُولُونَ
and they say
سَيُغۡفَرُ
It will be forgiven
لَنَا
for us
وَإِن
And if
يَأۡتِهِمۡ
comes to them
عَرَضٌ
goods
مِّثۡلُهُۥ
similar to it
يَأۡخُذُوهُ‌ۚ
they will take it
أَلَمۡ
Was not
يُؤۡخَذۡ
taken
عَلَيۡهِم

مِّيثَـٰقُ
Covenant
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ
(of) the Book
أَن
that
لَّا

they will say
عَلَى

Allah
إِلَّا
except
ٱلۡحَقَّ
the truth
وَدَرَسُواۡ
while they studied
مَا
what
فِيهِ‌ۗ

وَٱلدَّارُ
And the home
ٱلۡأَخِرَةُ
(of) the Hereafter
خَيۡرٌ
(is) better
لِّلَّذِينَ
for those who
يَتَّقُونَ‌ۗ
fear Allah
أَفَلَا
So will not
تَعۡقِلُونَ
you use intellect
١٦٩
And there followed them successors who inherited the Scripture [while] taking the commodities1 of this lower life and saying, "It will be forgiven for us." And if an offer like it2 comes to them, they will [again] take it. Was not the covenant of the Scripture [i.e., the Torah] taken from them that they would not say about Allāh except the truth, and they studied what was in it? And the home of the Hereafter is better for those who fear Allāh, so will you not use reason?
7:170
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those who
يُمَسِّكُونَ
hold fast
بِٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ
to the Book
وَأَقَامُواۡ
and establish
ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ
the prayer
إِنَّا
indeed, We
لَا
(will) not
نُضِيعُ
[We] let go waste
أَجۡرَ
(the) reward
ٱلۡمُصۡلِحِينَ
(of) the reformers
١٧٠
But those who hold fast to the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] and establish prayer - indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of the reformers.
7:171
۞وَإِذۡ
And when
نَتَقۡنَا
We raised

the mountain
فَوۡقَهُمۡ

ظُلَّةٌ
a canopy
وَظَنُّوٓاۡ
and they thought
أَنَّهُۥ
that it
وَاقِعُۢ
(would) fall
بِهِمۡ
upon them
خُذُواۡ
(We said), "Take

and remember
مَا

تَتَّقُونَ

١٧١
And [mention] when We raised the mountain above them as if it was a dark cloud and they were certain that it would fall upon them,1 [and Allāh said], "Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that you might fear Allāh."
7:172
وَإِذۡ

إِنَّا
Indeed
كُنَّا
we were
عَنۡ
about
هَـٰذَا
this
غَـٰفِلِينَ
unaware
١٧٢
And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we have testified." [This] - lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware."
7:173
أَوۡ
Or
تَقُولُوٓاۡ
you say
إِنَّمَآ
Only

أَفَتُهۡلِكُنَا
So will You destroy us
بِمَا
for what
فَعَلَ
did
ٱلۡمُبۡطِلُونَ
the falsifiers
١٧٣
Or [lest] you say, "It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] with Allāh before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?"
7:174
وَكَذٰلِكَ
And thus
نُفَصِّلُ
We explain
ٱلۡأَيَـٰتِ
the Verses

And thus do We [explain in] detail the verses, and perhaps they will return.1
7:175

ٱلۡغَاوِينَ
those gone astray
١٧٥
And recite to them, [O Muḥammad], the news of him1 to whom We gave [knowledge of] Our signs, but he detached himself from them; so Satan pursued him, and he became of the deviators.2
7:176
وَلَوۡ
And if
شِئۡنَا
We willed
لَرَفَعۡنَـٰهُ
surely, We (could) have raised him
بِهَا
with these
وَلَـٰكِنَّهُۥٓ
[and] but he
أَخۡلَدَ
adhered
إِلَى
to
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
وَٱتَّبَعَ
and followed
هَوَٮٰهُ‌ۚ
his (vain) desires
فَمَثَلُهُۥ
So his example
كَمَثَلِ
(is) like (the) example
ٱلۡكَلۡبِ
(of) the dog
إِن
if
تَحۡمِلۡ
you attack
عَلَيۡهِ
[on] him
يَلۡهَثۡ
he lolls out his tongue
أَوۡ
or
تَتۡرُكۡهُ
if you leave him
يَلۡهَث‌ۚ
he lolls out his tongue
ذّٰلِكَ
That
مَثَلُ
(is the) example
ٱلۡقَوۡمِ
(of) the people
ٱلَّذِينَ
who
كَذَّبُواۡ
denied
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا‌ۚ
[in] Our Signs
فَٱقۡصُصِ
So relate
ٱلۡقَصَصَ
the story
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they may
يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
reflect
١٧٦
And if We had willed, We could have elevated him thereby,1 but he adhered [instead] to the earth2 and followed his own desire. So his example is like that of the dog: if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he [still] pants. That is the example of the people who denied Our signs.3 So relate the stories that perhaps they will give thought.
7:177
سَآءَ
Evil
مَثَلاً
(as) an example
ٱلۡقَوۡمُ
(are) the people
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
كَذَّبُواۡ
denied
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا
Our Signs
وَأَنفُسَهُمۡ
and themselves
كَانُواۡ
they used to
يَظۡلِمُونَ
wrong
١٧٧
How evil an example [is that of] the people who denied Our signs and used to wrong themselves.
7:178
مَن
Whoever
يَهۡدِ
(is) guided
ٱللَّهُ
(by) Allah
فَهُوَ
then he
ٱلۡمُهۡتَدِى‌ۖ
(is) the guided one
وَمَن
while whoever
يُضۡلِلۡ
He lets go astray
فَأُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
then those
هُمُ
[they]
ٱلۡخَـٰسِرُونَ
(are) the losers
١٧٨
Whoever Allāh guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray1 - it is those who are the losers.
7:179
وَلَقَدۡ
And certainly
ذَرَأۡنَا
We have created
لِجَهَنَّمَ
for Hell
كَثِيرًا
many
مِّنَ
of
ٱلۡجِنِّ
the jinn
وَٱلۡإِنسِ‌ۖ
and men
لَهُمۡ
For them
قُلُوبٌ
(are) hearts
لَّا
(but) not
يَفۡقَهُونَ
they understand
بِهَا
with them
وَلَهُمۡ
and for them
أَعۡيُنٌ
(are) eyes
لَّا
(but) not
يُبۡصِرُونَ
they see
بِهَا
with them
وَلَهُمۡ
and for them
ءَاذَانٌ
(are) ears
لَّا
(but) not
يَسۡمَعُونَ
they hear
بِهَآ‌ۚ
with them
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those
كَٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمِ
(are) like cattle
بَلۡ
nay
هُمۡ
they
أَضَلُّ‌ۚ
(are) more astray
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those
هُمُ
they
ٱلۡغَـٰفِلُونَ
(are) the heedless
١٧٩
And We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and mankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those are like livestock; rather, they are more astray.1 It is they who are the heedless.
7:180
وَلِلَّهِ
And for Allah
ٱلۡأَسۡمَآءُ
(are) the names
ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ
the most beautiful
فَٱدۡعُوهُ
so invoke Him
بِهَا‌ۖ
by them
وَذَرُواۡ
And leave
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
يُلۡحِدُونَ
deviate
فِىٓ
concerning
أَسۡمَـٰٓئِهِۦ‌ۚ
His names
سَيُجۡزَوۡنَ
They will be recompensed
مَا
for what
كَانُواۡ
they used to
يَعۡمَلُونَ
do
١٨٠
And to Allāh belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names.1 They will be recompensed for what they have been doing.
7:181
وَمِمَّنۡ
And of (those) whom
خَلَقۡنَآ
We have created
أُمَّةٌ
(is) a nation
يَهۡدُونَ
who guides
بِٱلۡحَقِّ
with the truth
وَبِهِۦ
and thereby
يَعۡدِلُونَ
they establish justice
١٨١
And among those We created is a community1 which guides by truth and thereby establishes justice.
7:182
وَٱلَّذِينَ
But those who
كَذَّبُواۡ
denied
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا
Our Signs
سَنَسۡتَدۡرِجُهُم
We will gradually lead them
مِّنۡ
from
حَيۡثُ
where
لَا
not
يَعۡلَمُونَ
they know
١٨٢
But those who deny Our signs - We will progressively lead them [to destruction]1 from where they do not know.
7:183
وَأُمۡلِى
And I will give respite
لَهُمۡ‌ۚ
to them
إِنَّ
Indeed
كَيۡدِى
My plan
مَتِينٌ
(is) firm
١٨٣
And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.
7:184
أَوَلَمۡ
Do not
يَتَفَكَّرُواۡ‌ۗ
they reflect
مَا
Not
بِصَاحِبِهِم
in their companion
مِّن
[of]
جِنَّةٍ‌ۚ
(is) any madness
إِنۡ
Not
هُوَ
he
إِلَّا
(is) but
نَذِيرٌ
a warner
مُّبِينٌ
clear
١٨٤
Then do they not give thought? There is in their companion [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] no madness. He is not but a clear warner.
7:185
أَوَلَمۡ
Do not
يَنظُرُواۡ
they look
فِى
in
مَلَكُوتِ
(the) dominion
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
(of) the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ
and the earth
وَمَا
and what
خَلَقَ
has (been) created
ٱللَّهُ
(by) Allah
مِن
of
شَىۡءٍ
(every)thing
وَأَنۡ
and that
عَسَىٰٓ
perhaps
أَن
[that]
يَكُونَ
has

verily
ٱقۡتَرَبَ

أَجَلُهُمۡ‌ۖ
their term
فَبِأَىِّ
So in what
حَدِيثِۭ
statement
بَعۡدَهُۥ
after this
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
will they believe
١٨٥
Do they not look into the realm of the heavens and the earth and everything that Allāh has created and [think] that perhaps their appointed time has come near? So in what statement [i.e., message] hereafter will they believe?
7:186
مَن
Whoever
يُضۡلِلِ
(is) let go astray
ٱللَّهُ
(by) Allah
فَلَا
then (there is) no
هَادِىَ
guide
لَهُۥ‌ۚ
for him
وَيَذَرُهُمۡ
And He leaves them
فِى
in
طُغۡيَـٰنِهِمۡ
their transgression
يَعۡمَهُونَ
wandering blindly
١٨٦
Whoever Allāh sends astray - there is no guide for him. And He leaves them in their transgression, wandering blindly.
7:187
يَسۡــَٔلُونَكَ
They ask you
عَنِ
about
ٱلسَّاعَةِ
the Hour
أَيَّانَ
when will be
مُرۡسَـٰهَا‌ۖ
its appointed time
قُلۡ
Say

Only

They ask you
كَأَنَّكَ
as if you

about it
قُلۡ
Say
إِنَّمَا
Only
عِلۡمُهَا
its knowledge

ٱللَّهِ
Allah
وَلَـٰكِنَّ
but
أَكۡثَرَ
most
ٱلنَّاسِ
(of) the people
لَا
(do) not
يَعۡلَمُونَ
know
١٨٧
They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?1 Say, "Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him. It lays heavily2 upon the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except unexpectedly." They ask you as if you are familiar with it. Say, "Its knowledge is only with Allāh, but most of the people do not know."
7:188
قُل
Say
لَّآ
Not
أَمۡلِكُ
I have power
لِنَفۡسِى
for myself
نَفۡعًا

(power to) harm
إِلَّا

ٱللَّهُ‌ۚ
Allah
وَلَوۡ
And if
كُنتُ
I would
أَعۡلَمُ
know
ٱلۡغَيۡبَ
(of) the unseen
لَٱسۡتَكۡثَرۡتُ
surely I could have multiplied
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡخَيۡرِ
the good
وَمَا

مَسَّنِىَ
(could) have touched me
ٱلسُّوٓءُ‌ۚ

نَذِيرٌ
a warner
وَبَشِيرٌ
and a bearer of good tidings
لِّقَوۡمٍ
to a people
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
who believe
١٨٨
Say, "I hold not for myself [the power of] benefit or harm, except what Allāh has willed. And if I knew the unseen, I could have acquired much wealth, and no harm would have touched me. I am not except a warner and a bringer of good tidings to a people who believe."
7:189
۞هُوَ
He
ٱلَّذِى
(is) the One Who
خَلَقَكُم
created you
مِّن
from
نَّفۡسٍ
a soul
وٰحِدَةٍ
single
وَجَعَلَ
and made
مِنۡهَا
from it
زَوۡجَهَا
its mate
لِيَسۡكُنَ
that he might live
إِلَيۡهَا‌ۖ
with her
فَلَمَّا
And when
تَغَشَّـٰهَا
he covers her
حَمَلَتۡ
she carries
حَمۡلاً
a burden
خَفِيفًا
light
فَمَرَّتۡ
and continues
بِهِۦ‌ۖ
with it
فَلَمَّآ
But when
أَثۡقَلَت
she grows heavy
دَّعَوَا
they both invoke
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
رَبَّهُمَا
their Lord
لَئِنۡ
If
ءَاتَيۡتَنَا
You give us
صَـٰلِحًا
a righteous (child)
لَّنَكُونَنَّ
surely we will be
مِنَ
among
ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ
the thankful
١٨٩
It is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he1 might dwell in security with her. And when he [i.e., man] covers her,2 she carries a light burden [i.e., a pregnancy] and continues therein. And when it becomes heavy, they both invoke Allāh, their Lord, "If You should give us a good3 [child], we will surely be among the grateful."
7:190
فَلَمَّآ
But when
ءَاتَـٰهُمَا
He gives them
صَـٰلِحًا
a good, (child)
جَعَلَا
they make
لَهُۥ
for Him
شُرَكَآءَ
partners
فِيمَآ
in what
ءَاتَـٰهُمَا‌ۚ
He has given them
فَتَعَـٰلَى
But exalted
ٱللَّهُ
(is) Allah
عَمَّا
above what
يُشۡرِكُونَ
they associate (with Him)
١٩٠
But when He gives them a good [child], they1 ascribe partners to Him concerning that which He has given them. Exalted is Allāh above what they associate with Him.
7:191
أَيُشۡرِكُونَ
Do they associate
مَا
what
لَا
(can) not
يَخۡلُقُ
create
شَيۡــًٔا
anything
وَهُمۡ
and they
يُخۡلَقُونَ
are created
١٩١
Do they associate with Him those who create nothing and they are [themselves] created?
7:192
وَلَا
And not
يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ
they are able
لَهُمۡ
to (give) them
نَصۡرًا
any help
وَلَآ
and not
أَنفُسَهُمۡ
themselves
يَنصُرُونَ
can they help
١٩٢
And they [i.e., the false deities] are unable to [give] them help, nor can they help themselves.
7:193
وَإِن
And if
تَدۡعُوهُمۡ
you call them
إِلَى
to
ٱلۡهُدَىٰ
the guidance
لَا
not

will they follow you
سَوَآءٌ
(It is) same
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
for you
أَدَعَوۡتُمُوهُمۡ
whether you call them
أَمۡ
or
أَنتُمۡ
you
صَـٰمِتُونَ
remain silent
١٩٣
And if you [believers] invite them to guidance, they will not follow you. It is all the same for you whether you invite them or you are silent.
7:194
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those whom
تَدۡعُونَ
you call
مِن

ٱللَّهِ

So invoke them
فَلۡيَسۡتَجِيبُواۡ
and let them respond
لَكُمۡ
to you
إِن
if
كُنتُمۡ
you are
صَـٰدِقِينَ
truthful
١٩٤
Indeed, those you [polytheists] call upon besides Allāh are servants [i.e., creations] like you. So call upon them and let them respond to you, if you should be truthful.
7:195
أَلَهُمۡ
Are for them
أَرۡجُلٌ

your partners
ثُمَّ
then

scheme against me
فَلَا

تُنظِرُونِ
give me respite
١٩٥
Do they have feet by which they walk? Or do they have hands by which they strike? Or do they have eyes by which they see? Or do they have ears by which they hear? Say, [O Muḥammad], "Call your 'partners' and then conspire against me and give me no respite.
7:196

Indeed, my protector is Allāh, who has sent down the Book; and He is an ally to the righteous.
7:197

And those you call upon besides Him are unable to help you, nor can they help themselves."

And if you invite them to guidance, they do not hear; and you see them looking at you while they do not see.
7:199
خُذِ
Hold
ٱلۡعَفۡوَ

Take what is given freely,1 enjoin what is good, and turn away from the ignorant.
7:200
وَإِمَّا
And if
يَنزَغَنَّكَ
an evil suggestion comes to you
مِنَ

ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنِ
[the] Shaitaan

[an evil suggestion]

then seek refuge

in Allah
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, He
سَمِيعٌ

عَلِيمٌ
All-Knowing
٢٠٠
And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allāh. Indeed, He is Hearing and Knowing.
7:201
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ٱتَّقَوۡاۡ
fear (Allah)
إِذَا
when

they remember (Allah)
فَإِذَا
and then
هُم
they
مُّبۡصِرُونَ
(are) those who see (aright)
٢٠١
Indeed, those who fear Allāh - when an impulse touches them from Satan, they remember [Him] and at once they have insight.
7:202
وَإِخۡوٰنُهُمۡ
But their brothers
يَمُدُّونَهُمۡ
they plunge them
فِى
in
ٱلۡغَىِّ
the error
ثُمَّ
then
لَا

they cease
٢٠٢
But their brothers1 - they [i.e., the devils] increase them in error; then they do not stop short.
7:203
وَإِذَا
And when
لَمۡ
not
تَأۡتِهِم
you bring them
بِـَٔـايَةٍ
a Sign
قَالُواۡ
they say
لَوۡلَا
Why (have) not
ٱجۡتَبَيۡتَهَا‌ۚ
you devised it
قُلۡ
Say
إِنَّمَآ
Only
أَتَّبِعُ
I follow
مَا
what
يُوحَىٰٓ
is revealed
إِلَىَّ
to me
مِن
from
رَّبِّى‌ۚ
my Lord
هَـٰذَا
This (is)
بَصَآئِرُ
enlightenment
مِن
from
رَّبِّكُمۡ
your Lord
وَهُدًى
and guidance
وَرَحۡمَةٌ
and mercy
لِّقَوۡمٍ
for a people
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
who believe
٢٠٣
And when you, [O Muḥammad], do not bring them a sign [i.e., miracle], they say, "Why have you not contrived it?" Say, "I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord. This [Qur’ān] is enlightenment from your Lord and guidance and mercy for a people who believe."
7:204
وَإِذَا
And when
قُرِئَ
is recited
ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ
the Quran
فَٱسۡتَمِعُواۡ
then listen
لَهُۥ
to it
وَأَنصِتُواۡ
and pay attention
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
so that you may
تُرۡحَمُونَ
receive mercy
٢٠٤
So when the Qur’ān is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.
7:205
وَٱذۡكُر
And remember
رَّبَّكَ
your Lord
فِى
in
نَفۡسِكَ
yourself
تَضَرُّعًا
humbly
وَخِيفَةً
and (in) fear
وَدُونَ
and without
ٱلۡجَهۡرِ
the loudness
مِنَ
of
ٱلۡقَوۡلِ
[the] words
بِٱلۡغُدُوِّ
in the mornings
وَٱلۡأَصَالِ
and (in) the evenings
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَكُن
be
مِّنَ
among
ٱلۡغَـٰفِلِينَ
the heedless
٢٠٥
And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and in fear without being apparent in speech - in the mornings and the evenings. And do not be among the heedless.
7:206
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
عِندَ
(are) near
رَبِّكَ
your Lord
لَا
not

(do) they turn away in pride
عَنۡ
from
عِبَادَتِهِۦ
His worship
وَيُسَبِّحُونَهُۥ
And they glorify Him
وَلَهُۥ
and to Him
يَسۡجُدُونَ
they prostrate
۩
Indeed, those who are near your Lord [i.e., the angels] are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, and they exalt Him, and to Him they prostrate.
