7. Al-A'raf

7:88

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

The chiefs of his people, who were arrogant, said, “O Shu‘aib, we will expel you and those who believe with you from our town, or you shall have to turn to our faith.” He said, “Even if we hate it?
7:89

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

We will be forging a lie against Allah, if we were to turn to your faith after Allah has saved us from it. It is not for us that we turn to it unless Allah, our Lord, so wills. Our Lord has encompassed everything with His knowledge. In Allah we place our trust. -Our Lord, decide between us and our people, with truth, and You are the best of all judges.”
7:90

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

The chiefs of his people who disbelieved said, “If you are to follow Shu‘aib, then you will be utter losers.”
7:91

فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِیْ دَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِیْنَ

So, the earthquake seized them, and they were (found dead) in their homes, fallen on their faces.
7:92

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

Those who rejected Shu‘aib became as if they never dwelt there. Those who rejected Shu‘aib were themselves the losers.
7:93

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

So, he turned away from them and said, “O my people, I have surely delivered to you the message of my Lord, and wished your betterment. How, then, should I grieve over a disbelieving people?”
7:94

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

We did not send any prophet to a town, but We seized its people with hardship and suffering, so that they may turn humble.
7:95

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

Thereafter, We substituted good in place of evil until they increased, and said, “Hardship and prosperity came to our fathers (too).” Then We seized them suddenly while they were not aware.
7:96

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

If the people of the towns believed and feared Allah, We would have opened for them blessings from the heavens and the earth, but they disbelieved. So, We seized them because of what they used to earn for themselves.
7:97

اَفَاَمِنَ اَهْلُ الْقُرٰۤی اَنْ یَّاْتِیَهُمْ بَاْسُنَا بَیَاتًا وَّهُمْ نَآىِٕمُوْنَ

So, do the people of the towns feel themselves immune from Our punishment that may befall them at night while they are asleep?
7:98

اَوَاَمِنَ اَهْلُ الْقُرٰۤی اَنْ یَّاْتِیَهُمْ بَاْسُنَا ضُحًی وَّهُمْ یَلْعَبُوْنَ

Or do the people of the towns feel themselves immune from Our punishment that may befall them in broad daylight while they are at play?
7:99

اَفَاَمِنُوْا مَكْرَ اللّٰهِ ۚ فَلَا یَاْمَنُ مَكْرَ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ

Do they feel secure from Allah’s plan? None can feel secure from Allah’s plan except the people who are losers.
7:100

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

Have all these events still not taught a lesson to those who inherit the land after its (former) inhabitants, that if We so willed, We could afflict them for their sins? But We seal their hearts, so that they do not listen.
7:101

تِلْكَ الْقُرٰی نَقُصُّ عَلَیْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآىِٕهَا ۚ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ ۚ فَمَا كَانُوْا لِیُؤْمِنُوْا بِمَا كَذَّبُوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ یَطْبَعُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی قُلُوْبِ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ

Those are the towns We narrate to you their important events. Surely their messengers came to them with clear signs, but they were not able to believe in what they had rejected earlier. This is how Allah seals the hearts of the disbelievers.
7:102

وَمَا وَجَدْنَا لِاَكْثَرِهِمْ مِّنْ عَهْدٍ ۚ وَاِنْ وَّجَدْنَاۤ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَفٰسِقِیْنَ

We did not find with most of them any covenant (unbroken), and surely We have found most of them sinners.
7:103

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

After them, We sent Mūsā with Our signs to Pharaoh and his chiefs. But they did injustice to them. So, consider the fate of the mischief-makers.
7:104

وَقَالَ مُوْسٰی یٰفِرْعَوْنُ اِنِّیْ رَسُوْلٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

Mūsā said, “O Pharaoh, I am a messenger from the Lord of all the worlds;
7:105

حَقِیْقٌ عَلٰۤی اَنْ لَّاۤ اَقُوْلَ عَلَی اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الْحَقَّ ؕ قَدْ جِئْتُكُمْ بِبَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ فَاَرْسِلْ مَعِیَ بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ

it befits me not to say anything about Allah except the truth. I have come to you with a clear sign from your Lord. So, let the children of Isrā’īl go with me.”
7:106

قَالَ اِنْ كُنْتَ جِئْتَ بِاٰیَةٍ فَاْتِ بِهَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ

He said, “If you have come with a sign, then bring it forth, if you are really truthful.”
7:107

فَاَلْقٰی عَصَاهُ فَاِذَا هِیَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِیْنٌ

So he threw down his staff, and in no time it was a vivid serpent;
7:108

وَّنَزَعَ یَدَهٗ فَاِذَا هِیَ بَیْضَآءُ لِلنّٰظِرِیْنَ

and he drew out his hand, and it was luminous for the onlookers.
7:109

قَالَ الْمَلَاُ مِنْ قَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَسٰحِرٌ عَلِیْمٌ

The chiefs of the people of Pharaoh said, “This man is certainly a sorcerer of great knowledge.
7:110

یُّرِیْدُ اَنْ یُّخْرِجَكُمْ مِّنْ اَرْضِكُمْ ۚ فَمَاذَا تَاْمُرُوْنَ

He wants to expel you from your land. So, what do you suggest?”
7:111

قَالُوْۤا اَرْجِهْ وَاَخَاهُ وَاَرْسِلْ فِی الْمَدَآىِٕنِ حٰشِرِیْنَ

They said, “leave him and his brother alone for a while, and send (your) men to the cities to collect
7:112

یَاْتُوْكَ بِكُلِّ سٰحِرٍ عَلِیْمٍ

and bring to you every expert sorcerer (who could defeat him).”
7:113

وَجَآءَ السَّحَرَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّ لَنَا لَاَجْرًا اِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغٰلِبِیْنَ

The sorcerers came to Pharaoh. They said, “There must be a reward for us, if we are the victors.”
7:114

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَاِنَّكُمْ لَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِیْنَ

He said, “Yes, and of course, you will be among the closer ones (to me).”
7:115

قَالُوْا یٰمُوْسٰۤی اِمَّاۤ اَنْ تُلْقِیَ وَاِمَّاۤ اَنْ نَّكُوْنَ نَحْنُ الْمُلْقِیْنَ

They said, “O Mūsā, would you throw (first) or are we to throw?”
7:116

قَالَ اَلْقُوْا ۚ فَلَمَّاۤ اَلْقَوْا سَحَرُوْۤا اَعْیُنَ النَّاسِ وَاسْتَرْهَبُوْهُمْ وَجَآءُوْ بِسِحْرٍ عَظِیْمٍ

He said, “You throw.” So when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people, and made them frightened, and produced great sorcery.
7:117

وَاَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلٰی مُوْسٰۤی اَنْ اَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۚ فَاِذَا هِیَ تَلْقَفُ مَا یَاْفِكُوْنَ

We revealed to Mūsā, “Throw your staff.” Then of a sudden, it began to swallow all that they had concocted.
7:118

فَوَقَعَ الْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ

Thus the truth prevailed, and what they were doing became a nullity.
7:119

فَغُلِبُوْا هُنَالِكَ وَانْقَلَبُوْا صٰغِرِیْنَ

So, they were overcome then and there and turned humiliated.
7:120

وَاُلْقِیَ السَّحَرَةُ سٰجِدِیْنَ

The sorcerers could not but fall in prostration.
7:121

قَالُوْۤا اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

They said, “We believe in the Lord of the worlds,
7:122

رَبِّ مُوْسٰی وَهٰرُوْنَ

the Lord of Mūsā and Hārūn.”
7:123

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

Pharaoh said, “You have believed in him before my permission. Undoubtedly, this is a plot you have designed in the city, so that you may expel its people from it. Now you shall know (its end).
7:124

لَاُقَطِّعَنَّ اَیْدِیَكُمْ وَاَرْجُلَكُمْ مِّنْ خِلَافٍ ثُمَّ لَاُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ اَجْمَعِیْنَ

I will cut off your hands and your legs from opposite sides. Then I will crucify you all together.”
7:125

قَالُوْۤا اِنَّاۤ اِلٰی رَبِّنَا مُنْقَلِبُوْنَ

They said, “We have surely to return to our Lord.
7:126

وَمَا تَنْقِمُ مِنَّاۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ اٰمَنَّا بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّنَا لَمَّا جَآءَتْنَا ؕ رَبَّنَاۤ اَفْرِغْ عَلَیْنَا صَبْرًا وَّتَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِیْنَ

For what fault would you punish us except that we have believed in the signs of our Lord when they appeared to us? O our Lord, pour out patience upon us, and cause us to die as Muslims (those who submit to you.)”
7:127

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

The chiefs of the people of Pharaoh said, “Shall you leave Mūsā and his people free to spread disorder in the land and to abandon you and your gods?” He said, “We shall slaughter their sons and let their women remain alive. We have full power over them.”
7:128

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

Mūsā said to his people, “Seek help from Allah and be patient. Surely, the land belongs to Allah. He lets whomsoever He wills inherit it from among His servants; and the end-result is in favor of the God-fearing.”
7:129

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

They said, “We were persecuted before you came to us and after you have come to us.” He said, “Hopefully your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you successors in the land, then He will see how you act.”
7:130

وَلَقَدْ اَخَذْنَاۤ اٰلَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِالسِّنِیْنَ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الثَّمَرٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَذَّكَّرُوْنَ

And We seized the people of Pharaoh with years of famine and poor production of fruits, so that they may learn a lesson.
7:131

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

When good times came to them, they said, “This is our right.” And if an evil touched them, they took it as an ill omen of Mūsā and those with him. Listen, their ill omen lies with Allah only, but most of them do not know.
7:132

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

They said, “Whatever sign you bring to us to enchant us with, we are not going to believe in you.”
7:133

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

So We sent upon them the storm and locusts and lice and frogs and blood, as signs distinct from each other. Yet they showed arrogance, and they were a guilty people.
7:134

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

Whenever a scourge befell them, they said, “O Mūsā, pray for us to your Lord by the covenant He has made with you. If you remove the scourge from us, we will truly believe in you, and will send the children of Isrā’īl with you.”
7:135

فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْزَ اِلٰۤی اَجَلٍ هُمْ بٰلِغُوْهُ اِذَا هُمْ یَنْكُثُوْنَ

But when We removed the scourge from them for a term they had to reach, in no time they started to break their promise.
7:136

فَانْتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَاَغْرَقْنٰهُمْ فِی الْیَمِّ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَكَانُوْا عَنْهَا غٰفِلِیْنَ

Then We subjected them to retribution, and drowned them in the sea, because they rejected Our signs, and were neglectful of them.
7:137

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

We caused those people who were deemed to be weak (the Israelites) to inherit the East and West of the land that We had blessed. And the sublime word of your Lord was fulfilled for the children of Isrā’īl, because they stood patient; and We destroyed what Pharaoh and his people used to build and what they used to raise high.
7:138

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

We made the children of Isrā’īl cross the sea, then they came across a people sitting in devotion before their idols. They (the Israelites) said, “O Mūsā, make a god for us like they have gods.” He said, “You are really an ignorant people.
7:139

اِنَّ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ مُتَبَّرٌ مَّا هُمْ فِیْهِ وَبٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ

What these people are engaged in is sure to be destroyed; and false is what they are doing.”
7:140

قَالَ اَغَیْرَ اللّٰهِ اَبْغِیْكُمْ اِلٰهًا وَّهُوَ فَضَّلَكُمْ عَلَی الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

He said, “Shall I seek any one other than Allah as God for you, while He has given you excellence over the (people of all the) worlds.”
7:141

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

(Remember) when We delivered you from the people of Pharaoh who inflicted grievous torment upon you, slaughtered your sons and left your women alive. In all that there was a great trial from your Lord.
7:142

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

And We made an appointment with Mūsā for thirty nights, then We supplemented them with another ten. So, the total period fixed by his Lord was forty nights. Mūsā said to his brother Hārūn, “Take my place among my people and keep things right, and do not follow the way of mischief makers.”
7:143

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

When Mūsā came at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, “My Lord, show (Yourself) to me that I may look at You.” He said: “You shall never see Me. But look at the mount. If it stays at its place, you will see Me.” So when his Lord appeared to the Mount, He made it smashed, and Mūsā fell down unconscious. When he recovered, he said: “Pure are You. I repent to You, and I am the first to believe (that no one can see You in this world.)”
7:144

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

He said, “Mūsā, I have chosen you above all men for my messages and for My speaking (to you). So, take what I have given to you, and be among the grateful.”
7:145

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

We wrote for him on the Tablets advice of every kind, and explanations of all (needful) things. “So hold it firm, and ask your people to hold on to the best things in it. I shall show you the house of the sinners.
7:146

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

I shall keep away from My verses those who show arrogance on the earth with no right to do so. Even if they were to see every sign, they would not believe in it; and if they see the Path of guidance, they do not take it as their way; and if they see the path of misguidance, they would take it as their way. That is because they have rejected Our signs, and have been neglectful of them.
7:147

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

Gone to waste are the deeds of those who have rejected Our signs and the meeting of the Hereafter. They will be recompensed only for what they have been doing.
7:148

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

And in the absence of Mūsā, his people made a calf from their ornaments, which was merely a sculpture with a moaning sound. Did they not see that it neither talked to them nor could it guide them to any way? They adopted it (as god), and were so unjust.
7:149

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

When they became remorseful and saw that they had gone astray, they said, “If Allah shows no mercy to us, and does not forgive us, we shall certainly be among the losers.”
7:150

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

When Mūsā returned to his people, angry and sad, he said, “How bad is the thing you have done in my absence! How did you act in haste against the command of your Lord?” He dropped down the Tablets, and grabbed the head of his brother, pulling him towards himself. He (Hārūn) said, “My mother’s son, the people took me as weak and were about to kill me. So do not let the enemies laugh at me, and do not count me with the wrong-doers.”
7:151

قَالَ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِیْ وَلِاَخِیْ وَاَدْخِلْنَا فِیْ رَحْمَتِكَ ۖؗ وَاَنْتَ اَرْحَمُ الرّٰحِمِیْنَ

He said, “My Lord! Forgive me and my brother, and admit us into Your mercy. You are the most Merciful of all the merciful.”
7:152

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

Surely, those who have taken the calf (as god) shall be seized by Allah’s wrath and by humiliation in the worldly life. That is how we recompense the fabricators.
7:153

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

As for those who do evil, and repent thereafter, and embrace faith, your Lord is then most forgiving, very merciful (for them).
7:154

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

When the fury of Mūsā calmed down, he picked up the Tablets, and in its contents there was guidance, and mercy for those who are fearful before their Lord.
7:155

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

And Mūsā selected seventy men from his people for Our appointment. Later when the earthquake seized them, he said, “My Lord, had it been Your will, You could have destroyed them earlier, and me too. Would You destroy us for what the foolish among them have done? It is nothing but a trial from You, wherewith you let go astray whom You will, and give guidance to whom You will. You are our protector, so forgive us, and have mercy on us, and You are the best among those who forgive.
7:156

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

And write for us good in this world and in the Hereafter. We turn to You in repentance.” He (Allah) said, “As for My punishment, I afflict with it whom I will. And My mercy extends to everything. So, I shall write it for those who guard themselves against evil, and pay Zakāh, and those who do believe in Our verses,
7:157

اَلَّذِیْنَ یَتَّبِعُوْنَ الرَّسُوْلَ النَّبِیَّ الْاُمِّیَّ الَّذِیْ یَجِدُوْنَهٗ مَكْتُوْبًا عِنْدَهُمْ فِی التَّوْرٰىةِ وَالْاِنْجِیْلِ ؗ یَاْمُرُهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَیَنْهٰىهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَیُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّیِّبٰتِ وَیُحَرِّمُ عَلَیْهِمُ الْخَبٰٓىِٕثَ وَیَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ اِصْرَهُمْ وَالْاَغْلٰلَ الَّتِیْ كَانَتْ عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ فَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِهٖ وَعَزَّرُوْهُ وَنَصَرُوْهُ وَاتَّبَعُوا النُّوْرَ الَّذِیْۤ اُنْزِلَ مَعَهٗۤ ۙ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ

those who follow the Messenger, the Ummiyy (unlettered) prophet whom they find written with them in the Torah and the Injīl , and who bids them what is fair and forbids what is unfair, and makes lawful for them good things, and makes unlawful for them impure things, and relieves them of their burden, and of the shackles that were upon them. So, those who believe in him and support him, and help him and follow the light sent down with him, - those are the ones who are successful.”
7:158

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

(O Prophet Muhammad) Say, “O people, I am a messenger of Allah (sent) to you from the One to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. There is no god but He. He gives life and brings death. So, believe in Allah and His Messenger, the Ummiyy (unlettered) prophet, who believes in Allah and in His words, and follow him, so that you may find the right path.”
7:159

وَمِنْ قَوْمِ مُوْسٰۤی اُمَّةٌ یَّهْدُوْنَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهٖ یَعْدِلُوْنَ

Among the community of Mūsā there are people who guide with truth and do justice thereby.
7:160

وَقَطَّعْنٰهُمُ اثْنَتَیْ عَشْرَةَ اَسْبَاطًا اُمَمًا ؕ وَاَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلٰی مُوْسٰۤی اِذِ اسْتَسْقٰىهُ قَوْمُهٗۤ اَنِ اضْرِبْ بِّعَصَاكَ الْحَجَرَ ۚ فَانْۢبَجَسَتْ مِنْهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَیْنًا ؕ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ اُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَهُمْ ؕ وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَیْهِمُ الْغَمَامَ وَاَنْزَلْنَا عَلَیْهِمُ الْمَنَّ وَالسَّلْوٰی ؕ كُلُوْا مِنْ طَیِّبٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنٰكُمْ ؕ وَمَا ظَلَمُوْنَا وَلٰكِنْ كَانُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ یَظْلِمُوْنَ

And We divided them into twelve tribes, as separate communities, and We revealed to Mūsā when his people asked him for water, “Strike the rock with your staff.” Then twelve springs gushed forth from it. Each tribe came to know their drinking place. We shaded them with the shadow of the clouds. And We sent down to them Mann and Salwā (saying), “Eat of the good things we have provided you.” And they did us no harm, rather they have been harming their own selves.
7:161

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

(Recall) when it was said to them, “Live in this town and eat therefrom anywhere you like, and say, HiTTah (we seek forgiveness) and enter the gate prostrating yourselves, so that We forgive your errors. We shall give much more to those who are good in their deeds.”
7:162

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

But those of them who were unjust substituted another word for the one that was said to them. So, We sent down upon them a scourge from the heavens, because they had been transgressing.
7:163

وَسْـَٔلْهُمْ عَنِ الْقَرْیَةِ الَّتِیْ كَانَتْ حَاضِرَةَ الْبَحْرِ ۘ اِذْ یَعْدُوْنَ فِی السَّبْتِ اِذْ تَاْتِیْهِمْ حِیْتَانُهُمْ یَوْمَ سَبْتِهِمْ شُرَّعًا وَّیَوْمَ لَا یَسْبِتُوْنَ ۙ لَا تَاْتِیْهِمْ ۛۚ كَذٰلِكَ ۛۚ نَبْلُوْهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَفْسُقُوْنَ

Ask them about the town situated by the sea, when they used to transgress in the matter of Sabbath, when their fish came to them openly on the Sabbath, and did not come when they did not have Sabbath. In this way, We put them to a test, because they used to act sinfully.
7:164

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

When a group of them said, “Why do you exhort a people whom Allah is going to destroy or chastise with a severe punishment?” They said, “To absolve ourselves before your Lord, and in order that they may fear Allah.”
7:165

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

So, when they forgot the advice they were given, We saved those who used to forbid evil and seized those who transgressed with a bitter punishment, because they had been disobeying.
7:166

فَلَمَّا عَتَوْا عَنْ مَّا نُهُوْا عَنْهُ قُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُوْنُوْا قِرَدَةً خٰسِىِٕیْنَ

When they persisted in doing what they were forbidden from, We said to them, “Become apes debased.”
7:167

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

Recall) when your Lord declared that He would surely keep sending, till the Day of Judgment, those who inflict on them evil chastisement. Certainly, your Lord is swift in punishing, and certainly He is the Most-forgiving, Very Merciful.
7:168

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

We divided them on the earth as separate communities. Some of them were righteous, while some others were otherwise. We tested them with good and bad times, so that they might return.
7:169

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

Then, after them, came a generation that inherited the Book, opting for the mundane stuff of this world and saying, “We shall be forgiven.” But if there comes to them similar stuff, they would opt for it (again). Was not the covenant of the Book taken from them that they should not say anything but the truth about Allah? They learnt what it contained. Certainly, the Last Abode is better for those who fear Allah. Have you then, no sense?
7:170

وَالَّذِیْنَ یُمَسِّكُوْنَ بِالْكِتٰبِ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ ؕ اِنَّا لَا نُضِیْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُصْلِحِیْنَ

Those who hold fast to the Book and establish Salāh, We shall never let the reward of (such) righteous people to go to waste.
7:171

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

When We raised the mountain over them as though it were a canopy, and they thought it was falling upon them, (We said,) “Adhere firmly to what We have given you and remember what is therein, so that you may become God-fearing.”
7:172

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

(Recall) when your Lord brought forth their progeny from the loins of the children of ’Ādam, and made them testify about themselves (by asking them,) “Am I not your Lord?” They said, “Of course, You are. We testify.” (We did so) lest you should say on the Day of Judgment, “We were unaware of this,”
7:173

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

or you should say, “It was our forefathers who associated partners with Allah, and we were their progeny after them; would you then destroy us on account of what the erroneous did?”
7:174

وَكَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْاٰیٰتِ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ یَرْجِعُوْنَ

This is how We elaborate the verses, so that they may return.
7:175

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

Recite to them the story of the one whom We gave Our verses, then he wriggled out from them, so Satan pursued him and he became one of the perverted.
7:176

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

If We so willed, We would have elevated him thereby; but he clung to the earth and followed his desires. So, his example is like the example of a dog, if you attack him, he pants with his tongue protruding, and if you leave him alone he still pants with his tongue protruding. That is the example of those who rejected Our signs. So, relate the chronicles, so that they may ponder.
7:177

سَآءَ مَثَلَا لْقَوْمُ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَاَنْفُسَهُمْ كَانُوْا یَظْلِمُوْنَ

Evil is the example of those who have rejected Our signs and have been doing wrong to themselves.
7:178

مَنْ یَّهْدِ اللّٰهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِیْ ۚ وَمَنْ یُّضْلِلْ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ

The one whom Allah gives guidance is the one on the right path. As for those whom Allah lets go astray, those are the losers.
7:179

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

Surely We have created for Hell a lot of people from among Jinn and mankind. They have hearts wherewith they do not understand, eyes wherewith they do not see, and ears wherewith they do not hear. They are like cattle. Rather, they are much more astray. They are the heedless.
7:180

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

For Allah there are the most beautiful names. So, call Him by them, and leave those who deviate in (the matter of) His names. They shall be recompensed for what they have been doing.
7:181

وَمِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَاۤ اُمَّةٌ یَّهْدُوْنَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهٖ یَعْدِلُوْنَ

Among those whom We have created there are people who guide with truth and do justice thereby.
7:182

وَالَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُمْ مِّنْ حَیْثُ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ

As for those who reject Our signs, We will lead them gradually (towards their punishment) in a way that they do not know.
7:183

وَاُمْلِیْ لَهُمْ ۫ؕ اِنَّ كَیْدِیْ مَتِیْنٌ

I give them respite. Surely My plan is firm.
7:184

اَوَلَمْ یَتَفَكَّرُوْا ٚ مَا بِصَاحِبِهِمْ مِّنْ جِنَّةٍ ؕ اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا نَذِیْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ

Have they not reflected that their fellow (i.e. the Holy Prophet) does not suffer from any madness? He is but a plain warner.
7:185

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

Have they not looked into the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and into the things Allah has created, and into the fact that their time might have possibly drawn near? In which other discourse, then, shall they believe after this?
7:186

مَنْ یُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَلَا هَادِیَ لَهٗ ؕ وَیَذَرُهُمْ فِیْ طُغْیَانِهِمْ یَعْمَهُوْنَ

For those whom Allah lets go astray, there is no one to guide, and He leaves them wandering blindly in their rebellion.
7:187

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

They ask you about the Hour (i.e. the Doomsday), “When is it due to happen?” Say, “Its knowledge is only with my Lord. No one can unfold it except He at its time. It shall weigh heavy in the heavens and the earth. It shall not come upon you but suddenly.” They ask you as if you were aware of it. Say, “Its knowledge is only with Allah, but most of the people do not know.”
7:188

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

Say, “I have no power to bring a benefit or a harm to myself, except that which Allah wills. If I had the knowledge of the Unseen, I would have accumulated a lot of good things, and no evil would have ever touched me. I am but a warner, and a herald of good news for a people who believe.”
7:189

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

He is the One who has created you from a single soul, and out of him created his wife, so that he may find comfort in her. So when he covers her with himself, she carries a light burden and moves about with it. Thereafter, when she grows heavy, they both pray to Allah, their Lord, “If You bless us with a perfect child, we shall be grateful.”
7:190

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

But when We bless them with a perfect child, they ascribe partners to Him in what He blessed them with. Indeed Allah is much higher than what they associate with Him.
7:191

اَیُشْرِكُوْنَ مَا لَا یَخْلُقُ شَیْـًٔا وَّهُمْ یُخْلَقُوْنَ

Do they associate those with Allah who do not create any thing, rather, they are created (themselves)?
7:192

وَلَا یَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ لَهُمْ نَصْرًا وَّلَاۤ اَنْفُسَهُمْ یَنْصُرُوْنَ

And they (the alleged partners) cannot extend to them any help, nor can they help themselves.
7:193

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

If you call them to the right path, they will not follow you. It is all the same for them whether you call them or remain silent.
7:194

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

Surely, those whom you invoke beside Allah are slaves (of Allah) like you. So, call them, and they should respond to you if you are true.
7:195

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

Do they have legs to walk with? Or do they have hands to grasp with? Or do they have eyes to see with or do they have ears to hear with? Say, “Call to your associate-gods, then, plot against me and allow me no respite.
7:196

اِنَّ وَلِیِّ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْ نَزَّلَ الْكِتٰبَ ۖؗ وَهُوَ یَتَوَلَّی الصّٰلِحِیْنَ

Surely, my protector is Allah who has revealed the Book and who does protect the righteous.”
7:197

وَالَّذِیْنَ تَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ لَا یَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ نَصْرَكُمْ وَلَاۤ اَنْفُسَهُمْ یَنْصُرُوْنَ

Those whom you call beside Him cannot help you, nor can they help themselves.
7:198

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

If you call them for guidance, they shall not hear. You see them as if they are looking at you, while they cannot see.
7:199

خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَاْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَاَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجٰهِلِیْنَ

(O Prophet,) take forgiveness (as your habit), enjoin virtue, and ignore the ignorant.
7:200

وَاِمَّا یَنْزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ

Should a stroke from the Satan strike you, seek refuge with Allah. Surely, He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
7:201

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

Surely when the God-fearing are touched by any instigation from Satan, they become conscious (of Allah), and at once they discern (the reality).
7:202

وَاِخْوَانُهُمْ یَمُدُّوْنَهُمْ فِی الْغَیِّ ثُمَّ لَا یُقْصِرُوْنَ

As for the brethren of satans, they are dragged by them on into the error, and they do not desist.
7:203

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

When you do not bring them a sign, they say, “Could you not make up one?”Say, “I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord.” This is (a Book of) insights from your Lord and a guidance and mercy for a people who believe.
7:204

وَاِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْاٰنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوْا لَهٗ وَاَنْصِتُوْا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ

When the Qur’ān is recited, listen to it and be silent, so that you may be blessed.
7:205

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

Remember your Lord in your heart with humility and awe, and without speaking loudly, in mornings and evenings, and do not be among the heedless.
7:206

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ لَا یَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهٖ وَیُسَبِّحُوْنَهٗ وَلَهٗ یَسْجُدُوْنَ

Surely, those who are with your Lord (i.e. the angels) are not arrogant against His worship, and they proclaim His purity, and before Him they prostrate themselves.

8. Al-Anfal

8:1

یَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الْاَنْفَالِ ؕ قُلِ الْاَنْفَالُ لِلّٰهِ وَالرَّسُوْلِ ۚ فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَصْلِحُوْا ذَاتَ بَیْنِكُمْ ۪ وَاَطِیْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗۤ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ

They ask you about the spoils. Say, “The spoils are for Allah and the Messenger.” So, fear Allah, and set your relations right, and obey Allah and His Messenger, if you are believers.
8:2

اِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ الَّذِیْنَ اِذَا ذُكِرَ اللّٰهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ وَاِذَا تُلِیَتْ عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتُهٗ زَادَتْهُمْ اِیْمَانًا وَّعَلٰی رَبِّهِمْ یَتَوَكَّلُوْنَ

Certainly, the believers are those whose hearts are filled with awe when (the name of) Allah is mentioned; and when His verses are recited to them, it makes them more developed in faith; and in their Lord they place their trust.
8:3

الَّذِیْنَ یُقِیْمُوْنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ یُنْفِقُوْنَ

(They are) those who establish Salāh, and give away from what We have given to them.
8:4

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ حَقًّا ؕ لَهُمْ دَرَجٰتٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ وَّرِزْقٌ كَرِیْمٌ

Those are the believers in reality. For them there are high ranks with their Lord, and forgiveness, and dignified provision.
8:5

كَمَاۤ اَخْرَجَكَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَیْتِكَ بِالْحَقِّ ۪ وَاِنَّ فَرِیْقًا مِّنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ لَكٰرِهُوْنَ

It is like when your Lord made you leave your home for the sake of truth, while a group from the believers were averse to it;
8:6

یُجَادِلُوْنَكَ فِی الْحَقِّ بَعْدَ مَا تَبَیَّنَ كَاَنَّمَا یُسَاقُوْنَ اِلَی الْمَوْتِ وَهُمْ یَنْظُرُوْنَ

they were disputing with you about the truth after it became clear, as if they were being driven to death being seen by them.
8:7

وَاِذْ یَعِدُكُمُ اللّٰهُ اِحْدَی الطَّآىِٕفَتَیْنِ اَنَّهَا لَكُمْ وَتَوَدُّوْنَ اَنَّ غَیْرَ ذَاتِ الشَّوْكَةِ تَكُوْنُ لَكُمْ وَیُرِیْدُ اللّٰهُ اَنْ یُّحِقَّ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمٰتِهٖ وَیَقْطَعَ دَابِرَ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ

And recall when Allah was promising you that one of the two groups would become yours, and you were wishing that the one without strength should fall to you. And Allah wanted to establish the truth through His words and to cut off the very root of the disbelievers,
8:8

لِیُحِقَّ الْحَقَّ وَیُبْطِلَ الْبَاطِلَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ

so that He proves the truth to be true and the falsehood to be false, even though the sinners might dislike it.
8:9

اِذْ تَسْتَغِیْثُوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ اَنِّیْ مُمِدُّكُمْ بِاَلْفٍ مِّنَ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ مُرْدِفِیْنَ

When you were calling your Lord for help, so He responded to you (saying): “I am going to support you with one thousand of the angels, one following the other.”
8:10

وَمَا جَعَلَهُ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا بُشْرٰی وَلِتَطْمَىِٕنَّ بِهٖ قُلُوْبُكُمْ ۚ وَمَا النَّصْرُ اِلَّا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ

And Allah has made it (the promise) merely to give you a good news, and so that your hearts might be at rest thereby. And the help is from none but Allah. Surely, Allah is Mighty, Wise.
8:11

اِذْ یُغَشِّیْكُمُ النُّعَاسَ اَمَنَةً مِّنْهُ وَیُنَزِّلُ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً لِّیُطَهِّرَكُمْ بِهٖ وَیُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمْ رِجْزَ الشَّیْطٰنِ وَلِیَرْبِطَ عَلٰی قُلُوْبِكُمْ وَیُثَبِّتَ بِهِ الْاَقْدَامَ

When He covered you with drowsiness, as tranquility (descending) from Him and sent down upon you water from the heavens, so that He might purify you with it, and remove from you the impurity of Satan, and so that He might strengthen your hearts and make (your) feet firm therewith.
8:12

اِذْ یُوْحِیْ رَبُّكَ اِلَی الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ اَنِّیْ مَعَكُمْ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا ؕ سَاُلْقِیْ فِیْ قُلُوْبِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ فَاضْرِبُوْا فَوْقَ الْاَعْنَاقِ وَاضْرِبُوْا مِنْهُمْ كُلَّ بَنَانٍ

When your Lord revealed to the angels: “I am with you. So, make firm the feet of those who believe. I shall cast awe into the hearts of those who disbelieve. So, strike at the necks, and strike at every finger-joint of theirs.”
8:13

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ شَآقُّوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ ۚ وَمَنْ یُّشَاقِقِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِیْدُ الْعِقَابِ

That is because they were hostile to Allah and His Messenger; and whoever becomes hostile to Allah and His Messenger, then, Allah is severe at punishment.
8:14

ذٰلِكُمْ فَذُوْقُوْهُ وَاَنَّ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ عَذَابَ النَّارِ

That is what you have to taste, and for the disbelievers is the (further) punishment of the Fire.
8:15

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِذَا لَقِیْتُمُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا زَحْفًا فَلَا تُوَلُّوْهُمُ الْاَدْبَارَ

O you who believe, when you face the disbelievers in a battle, do not turn your backs to them.
8:16

وَمَنْ یُّوَلِّهِمْ یَوْمَىِٕذٍ دُبُرَهٗۤ اِلَّا مُتَحَرِّفًا لِّقِتَالٍ اَوْ مُتَحَیِّزًا اِلٰی فِئَةٍ فَقَدْ بَآءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَمَاْوٰىهُ جَهَنَّمُ ؕ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِیْرُ

Whoever turns his back to them on such a day,- unless it is for a tactic in the battle, or to join a company,-turns with wrath from Allah, and his abode is Jahannam (Hell), and it is an evil place to return.
8:17

فَلَمْ تَقْتُلُوْهُمْ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَتَلَهُمْ ۪ وَمَا رَمَیْتَ اِذْ رَمَیْتَ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ رَمٰی ۚ وَلِیُبْلِیَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ مِنْهُ بَلَآءً حَسَنًا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ

So, it is not you who killed them, but in fact Allah killed them. And you did not throw when you threw but Allah did throw, so that He might bless the believers with a good favour. Surely, Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
8:18

ذٰلِكُمْ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ مُوْهِنُ كَیْدِ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ

Apart from that, Allah is the One who frustrates the device of the disbelievers.
8:19

اِنْ تَسْتَفْتِحُوْا فَقَدْ جَآءَكُمُ الْفَتْحُ ۚ وَاِنْ تَنْتَهُوْا فَهُوَ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۚ وَاِنْ تَعُوْدُوْا نَعُدْ ۚ وَلَنْ تُغْنِیَ عَنْكُمْ فِئَتُكُمْ شَیْـًٔا وَّلَوْ كَثُرَتْ ۙ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ

(O unbelievers,) if you were looking for a decision, the ‘decision’ has come upon you. And if you give up, it is better for you. And if you repeat, We shall repeat. And your people shall not suffice you at all, even though they are many in number; and Allah is with the believers.
8:20

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَطِیْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ وَلَا تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَاَنْتُمْ تَسْمَعُوْنَ

O you who believe, obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not turn away from Him when you listen (to him).
8:21

وَلَا تَكُوْنُوْا كَالَّذِیْنَ قَالُوْا سَمِعْنَا وَهُمْ لَا یَسْمَعُوْنَ

And do not be like those who say, “We have listened” while they do not listen.
8:22

اِنَّ شَرَّ الدَّوَآبِّ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ الصُّمُّ الْبُكْمُ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَعْقِلُوْنَ

Surely, the worst of all animals in the sight of Allah are the deaf and the dumb who do not understand.
8:23

وَلَوْ عَلِمَ اللّٰهُ فِیْهِمْ خَیْرًا لَّاَسْمَعَهُمْ ؕ وَلَوْ اَسْمَعَهُمْ لَتَوَلَّوْا وَّهُمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ

Had Allah seen in them some good, He would have made them listen (as due). But if He makes them listen (now), they will turn away paying no heed.
8:24

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اسْتَجِیْبُوْا لِلّٰهِ وَلِلرَّسُوْلِ اِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا یُحْیِیْكُمْ ۚ وَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یَحُوْلُ بَیْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهٖ وَاَنَّهٗۤ اِلَیْهِ تُحْشَرُوْنَ

O you who believe, respond to Allah and the Messenger when He calls you to what gives you life, and be sure that Allah intervenes between man and his heart, and that to Him you shall be gathered.
8:25

وَاتَّقُوْا فِتْنَةً لَّا تُصِیْبَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مِنْكُمْ خَآصَّةً ۚ وَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِیْدُ الْعِقَابِ

And beware of a scourge that shall not fall only on the wrongdoers from among you, and know well that Allah is severe at punishment
8:26

وَاذْكُرُوْۤا اِذْ اَنْتُمْ قَلِیْلٌ مُّسْتَضْعَفُوْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ تَخَافُوْنَ اَنْ یَّتَخَطَّفَكُمُ النَّاسُ فَاٰوٰىكُمْ وَاَیَّدَكُمْ بِنَصْرِهٖ وَرَزَقَكُمْ مِّنَ الطَّیِّبٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ

Recall when you were few in number, oppressed on the earth, fearing that the people would snatch you away. Then, He gave you shelter and fortified you with His support and provided you with good things, so that you may be grateful.
8:27

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَخُوْنُوا اللّٰهَ وَالرَّسُوْلَ وَتَخُوْنُوْۤا اَمٰنٰتِكُمْ وَاَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ

O you who believe, do not betray the trust of Allah and the Messenger-, and do not betray your mutual trusts, while you know.
8:28

وَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّمَاۤ اَمْوَالُكُمْ وَاَوْلَادُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ ۙ وَّاَنَّ اللّٰهَ عِنْدَهٗۤ اَجْرٌ عَظِیْمٌ

Be aware that your wealth and your children are but a trial and that with Allah there is a great reward.
8:29

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِنْ تَتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ یَجْعَلْ لَّكُمْ فُرْقَانًا وَّیُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَیِّاٰتِكُمْ وَیَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِیْمِ

O you who believe, if you fear Allah, He will provide you with a criterion (to distinguish between right and wrong) and will write off your evil deeds and will forgive you. Allah is the Lord of great bounty.
8:30

وَاِذْ یَمْكُرُ بِكَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِیُثْبِتُوْكَ اَوْ یَقْتُلُوْكَ اَوْ یُخْرِجُوْكَ ؕ وَیَمْكُرُوْنَ وَیَمْكُرُ اللّٰهُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ خَیْرُ الْمٰكِرِیْنَ

And (recall) when the disbelievers were conspiring against you to hold you as a captive, or to kill you, or to expel you. They were planning, and Allah was planning, and Allah is the best planner.
8:31

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰی عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتُنَا قَالُوْا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَقُلْنَا مِثْلَ هٰذَاۤ ۙ اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّاۤ اَسَاطِیْرُ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ

When Our verses are recited to them, they say, “We have heard; if we wish, we can compose a discourse like this. It is nothing but the tales of the ancient people.”
8:32

وَاِذْ قَالُوا اللّٰهُمَّ اِنْ كَانَ هٰذَا هُوَ الْحَقَّ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ فَاَمْطِرْ عَلَیْنَا حِجَارَةً مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ اَوِ ائْتِنَا بِعَذَابٍ اَلِیْمٍ

And (recall) when they said, “O Allah, if this is indeed the truth (revealed) from You, then, rain down stones upon us from the heavens, or bring upon us a painful punishment.”
8:33

وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِیُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَاَنْتَ فِیْهِمْ ؕ وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَهُمْ یَسْتَغْفِرُوْنَ

And Allah was not to send scourge upon them while you (O Prophet), were in their midst, nor would Allah send scourge upon them while they are seeking forgiveness.
8:34

وَمَا لَهُمْ اَلَّا یُعَذِّبَهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَهُمْ یَصُدُّوْنَ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَمَا كَانُوْۤا اَوْلِیَآءَهٗ ؕ اِنْ اَوْلِیَآؤُهٗۤ اِلَّا الْمُتَّقُوْنَ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ

And what privilege do they have that Allah should not punish them, while they prevent (people) from Al-Masjid-ul-Harām (the Sacred Mosque), even though they are not (competent to be) its custodians? Its (competent) custodians are none but the God-fearing, but most of them do not know.
8:35

وَمَا كَانَ صَلَاتُهُمْ عِنْدَ الْبَیْتِ اِلَّا مُكَآءً وَّتَصْدِیَةً ؕ فَذُوْقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْفُرُوْنَ

And their prayer near the House was not more than whistling and clapping. So, taste the punishment, because you used to disbelieve.
8:36

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا یُنْفِقُوْنَ اَمْوَالَهُمْ لِیَصُدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ؕ فَسَیُنْفِقُوْنَهَا ثُمَّ تَكُوْنُ عَلَیْهِمْ حَسْرَةً ثُمَّ یُغْلَبُوْنَ ؕ۬ وَالَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِلٰی جَهَنَّمَ یُحْشَرُوْنَ

Surely, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to prevent (people) from the way of Allah. So, they shall spend it, then it will become remorse for them, then they shall be overpowered, and those who disbelieve shall be gathered into Jahannam ,
8:37

لِیَمِیْزَ اللّٰهُ الْخَبِیْثَ مِنَ الطَّیِّبِ وَیَجْعَلَ الْخَبِیْثَ بَعْضَهٗ عَلٰی بَعْضٍ فَیَرْكُمَهٗ جَمِیْعًا فَیَجْعَلَهٗ فِیْ جَهَنَّمَ ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ

so that Allah may separate the wicked from the good people, and join the wicked with each other, and heaps them all together, and puts them into Jahannam . Those are the losers.
8:38

قُلْ لِّلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِنْ یَّنْتَهُوْا یُغْفَرْ لَهُمْ مَّا قَدْ سَلَفَ ۚ وَاِنْ یَّعُوْدُوْا فَقَدْ مَضَتْ سُنَّتُ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ

Say to those who disbelieve that if they desist (from infidelity), they shall be forgiven for what has passed (of their sins), and if they repeat, then, the precedent of the earlier people is already established (that the infidels are punished).
8:39

وَقَاتِلُوْهُمْ حَتّٰی لَا تَكُوْنَ فِتْنَةٌ وَّیَكُوْنَ الدِّیْنُ كُلُّهٗ لِلّٰهِ ۚ فَاِنِ انْتَهَوْا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ

And fight them until there is no Fitnah (mischief), and total obedience becomes for Allah. So, if they desist, then, Allah is indeed watchful over what they do.
8:40

وَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَوْلٰىكُمْ ؕ نِعْمَ الْمَوْلٰی وَنِعْمَ النَّصِیْرُ

And if they turn away, then, rest assured that Allah is your protector. So excellent a protector is He, and so excellent a supporter.
