1 Surahs9 Versesركوع 142
7:163
وَسۡــَٔلۡهُمۡ
And ask them
عَنِ
about
the town
which
كَانَتۡ
was
حَاضِرَةَ
situated
(by) the sea
إِذۡ
when
يَعۡدُونَ
they transgressed
فِى
in
the (matter of) Sabbath
إِذۡ
when
تَأۡتِيهِمۡ
came to them
حِيتَانُهُمۡ
their fish
يَوۡمَ
(on the) day
سَبۡ تِهِمۡ
(of) their Sabbath
شُرَّعًا
visibly
and (on the) day
لَا
not
يَسۡبِتُونَۙ
they had Sabbath
لَا
(they did) not
تَأۡتِيهِمۡۚ
come to them
كَذٰ
Thus
نَبۡ لُوهُم
We test them
because
كَانُواۡ
they were
يَفۡسُقُو نَ
١٦٣defiantly disobeying
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
أُمّ َةٌ
a community
among them
لِمَ
Why
تَعِظُونَ
(do) you preach
قَوۡمًاۙ
a people
(whom) Allah
مُهۡلِكُهُمۡ
(is going to) destroy them
أَوۡ
or
مُعَذِّبُهُمۡ
punish them
عَذَابًا
(with) a punishment
severe
They said
مَعۡذِرَةً
To be absolved
إِلَىٰ
before
رَبِّكُمۡ
your Lord
وَلَعَلَّهُمۡ
and that they may
يَتَّقُو نَ
١٦٤become righteous
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
فَلَمّ َا
So when
نَسُواۡ
they forgot
مَا
what
ذُكِّرُواۡ
they had been reminded
بِهِۦٓ
with [it]
أَنج َيۡنَا
We saved
those who
يَنۡهَوۡنَ
forbade
عَنِ
[from]
the evil
وَأَخَذۡنَا
and We seized
those who
ظَلَمُواۡ
wronged
بِعَذَابِۭ
with a punishment
wretched
because
كَانُواۡ
they were
يَفۡسُقُو نَ
١٦٥defiantly disobeying
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
فَلَمّ َا
So when
عَتَوۡاۡ
they exceeded all bounds
عَن
about
what
نُهُواۡ
they were forbidden
عَنۡهُ
from it
قُلۡنَا
We said
لَهُمۡ
to them
كُونُواۡ
Be
قِرَدَةً
apes
خَـٰ سِــِٔي نَ
١٦٦despised
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
لَيَبۡ عَثَنّ َ
that He would surely send
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
upon them
إِلَىٰ
till
يَوۡمِ
(the) Day
(of) the Resurrection
مَن
(those) who
would afflict them
سُو ٓءَ
(with) a grievous
[the] punishment
إِنّ َ
Indeed
رَبَّكَ
your Lord
لَسَرِيعُ
(is) surely swift
(in) the retribution
وَإِنّ َهُۥ
but indeed, He
لَغَفُورٌ
(is) surely Oft-Forgiving
Most Merciful
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
وَقَطَّعۡنَـٰ هُمۡ
And We divided them
فِى
in
the earth
أُمَمًاۖ
(as) nations
Among them
(are) the righteous
وَمِنۡهُمۡ
and among them
دُونَ
(are) other than
ذٰ
that
وَبَلَوۡنَـٰ هُم
And We tested them
with the good
وَٱ ل سَّيِّـَٔـاتِ
and the bad
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they may
يَرۡجِعُو نَ
١٦٨return
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
after them
خَلۡفٌ
successors
(who) inherited
the Book
يَأۡخُذُونَ
taking
عَرَضَ
goods
هَـٰ ذَا
(of) this
the lower (life)
وَيَقُولُونَ
and they say
سَيُغۡفَرُ
It will be forgiven
لَنَا
for us
وَإِن
And if
comes to them
عَرَضٌ
goods
similar to it
يَأۡخُذُوهُۚ
they will take it
أَلَمۡ
Was not
يُؤۡخَذۡ
taken
عَلَيۡهِم
on them
Covenant
(of) the Book
أَن
that
not
يَقُولُواۡ
they will say
عَلَى
about
Allah
إِلَّا
except
the truth
وَدَرَسُواۡ
while they studied
مَا
what
فِيهِۗ
(is) in it
وَٱ ل دَّارُ
And the home
(of) the Hereafter
خَيۡرٌ
(is) better
for those who
يَتَّقُونَۗ
fear Allah
أَفَلَا
So will not
تَعۡقِلُو نَ
١٦٩you use intellect
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
وَٱ لَّذِينَ
And those who
يُمَسِّكُونَ
hold fast
بِٱ لۡكِتَـٰ بِ
to the Book
وَأَقَامُواۡ
and establish
the prayer
إِنّ َا
indeed, We
لَا
(will) not
نُضِيعُ
[We] let go waste
أَجۡ رَ
(the) reward
(of) the reformers
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
نَتَقۡ نَا
We raised
the mountain
فَوۡقَهُمۡ
above them
كَأَنّ َهُۥ
as if it was
ظُلَّةٌ
a canopy
and they thought
أَنّ َهُۥ
that it
وَاقِعُۢ
(would) fall
upon them
خُذُواۡ
(We said), "Take
مَآ
what
ءَاتَيۡنَـٰ كُم
We have given you
with strength
and remember
مَا
what
فِيهِ
(is) in it
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
so that you may
تَتَّقُو نَ
١٧١fear Allah
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."
