7:172
وَإِذۡ
And when
أَخَذَ
(was) taken
رَبُّكَ
(by) your Lord
مِنۢ
from
(the) Children
ءَادَمَ
(of) Adam
مِن
from
their loins
ذُرِّيَّتَهُمۡ
their descendants
وَأَشۡهَدَهُمۡ
and made them testify
عَلَىٰٓ
over
أَنف ُسِهِمۡ
themselves
أَلَسۡتُ
Am I not
بِرَبِّكُمۡۖ
your Lord
قَالُواۡ
They said
بَلَىٰۛ
Yes
شَهِدۡ نَآۛ
we have testified
أَن
Lest
you say
يَوۡمَ
(on the) Day
(of) the Resurrection
إِنّ َا
Indeed
كُنّ َا
we were
عَنۡ
about
هَـٰ ذَا
this
غَـٰ فِلِي نَ
١٧٢unaware
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
تَقُولُوٓ اۡ
you say
إِنّ َمَآ
Only
أَشۡرَكَ
partners (were) associated (with Allah)
ءَابَا ٓؤُنَا
(by) our forefathers
مِن
from
before (us)
وَكُنّ َا
and we are
ذُرِّيَّةً
descendants
from
after them
أَفَتُهۡلِكُنَا
So will You destroy us
بِمَا
for what
فَعَلَ
did
the falsifiers
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
وَكَذٰ
And thus
نُفَصِّلُ
We explain
the Verses
وَلَعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they may
يَرۡجِعُو نَ
١٧٤return
And thus do We [explain in] detail the verses, and perhaps they will return.1
7:175
وَٱ تۡلُ
And recite
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
to them
نَبَأَ
(the) story
(of the) one whom
ءَاتَيۡنَـٰ هُ
We gave [him]
ءَايَـٰ تِنَا
Our Verses
فَٱ نس َلَخَ
but he detached
مِنۡهَا
[from] them
فَأَتۡبَعَهُ
so followed him
the Shaitaan
فَكَانَ
and he became
مِنَ
of
those gone astray
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
لَرَفَعۡنَـٰ هُ
surely, We (could) have raised him
بِهَا
with these
وَلَـٰ كِنّ َهُۥٓ
[and] but he
أَخۡلَدَ
adhered
إِلَى
to
the earth
وَٱ تَّبَعَ
and followed
هَوَٮٰ هُۚ
his (vain) desires
فَمَثَلُهُۥ
So his example
كَمَثَلِ
(is) like (the) example
(of) the dog
إِن
if
you attack
عَلَيۡهِ
[on] him
يَلۡهَثۡ
he lolls out his tongue
أَوۡ
or
تَتۡرُكۡهُ
if you leave him
يَلۡهَث ۚ
he lolls out his tongue
ذّٰ
That
مَثَلُ
(is the) example
(of) the people
who
كَذَّبُواۡ
denied
بِـَٔـايَـٰ تِنَاۚ
[in] Our Signs
فَٱ قۡ صُصِ
So relate
the story
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they may
يَتَفَكَّرُو نَ
١٧٦reflect
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
سَا ٓءَ
Evil
مَثَلاً
(as) an example
(are) the people
those who
كَذَّبُواۡ
denied
بِـَٔـايَـٰ تِنَا
Our Signs
وَأَنف ُسَهُمۡ
and themselves
كَانُواۡ
they used to
يَظۡلِمُو نَ
١٧٧wrong
How evil an example [is that of] the people who denied Our signs and used to wrong themselves.
7:178
مَن
Whoever
(is) guided
(by) Allah
فَهُوَ
then he
(is) the guided one
وَمَن
while whoever
He lets go astray
فَأُوۡ لَـٰٓ ئِكَ
then those
هُمُ
[they]
(are) the losers
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
لِجَهَنّ َمَ
for Hell
كَثِيرًا
many
of
the jinn
وَٱ لۡإِنس ِۖ
and men
لَهُمۡ
For them
قُلُوبٌ
(are) hearts
(but) not
يَفۡقَهُونَ
they understand
بِهَا
with them
وَلَهُمۡ
and for them
أَعۡيُنٌ
(are) eyes
(but) not
يُبۡ صِرُونَ
they see
بِهَا
with them
وَلَهُمۡ
and for them
ءَاذَانٌ
(are) ears
(but) not
يَسۡمَعُونَ
they hear
بِهَآۚ
with them
أُوۡ لَـٰٓ ئِكَ
Those
كَٱ لۡأَنۡعَـٰ مِ
(are) like cattle
بَلۡ
nay
هُمۡ
they
أَضَلُّۚ
(are) more astray
أُوۡ لَـٰٓ ئِكَ
Those
هُمُ
they
(are) the heedless
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
(are) the names
the most beautiful
فَٱ دۡ عُوهُ
so invoke Him
بِهَاۖ
by them
وَذَرُواۡ
And leave
those who
يُلۡحِدُونَ
deviate
فِىٓ
concerning
أَسۡمَـٰٓ ئِهِۦۚ
His names
سَيُجۡ زَوۡنَ
They will be recompensed
مَا
for what
كَانُواۡ
they used to
يَعۡمَلُو نَ
١٨٠do
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
وَمِمّ َنۡ
And of (those) whom
خَلَقۡ نَآ
We have created
أُمّ َةٌ
(is) a nation
who guides
بِٱ لۡحَقِّ
with the truth
وَبِهِۦ
and thereby
يَعۡدِلُو نَ
١٨١they establish justice
And among those We created is a community1 which guides by truth and thereby establishes justice.
