<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 40[/INST]Indeed those who reject Our Revelations as false and rebel against them, the gates of the heavens (of Mercy and Acceptance) shall not be opened to them, nor will they be able to enter Paradise until the camel passes through the eye of a needle (i.e. their entrance into Paradise will be impossible the same way). And it is like that We punish the evildoers.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 41[/INST]The (Fire of) Hell will be their mattress as well as a covering over them, and We torment the wrongdoers the same way.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 42[/INST]But those who believe and do good works persistently, We do not burden anyone beyond his endurance; it is they who are the people of Paradise; they will live in it forever.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 43[/INST]And We shall remove from their breasts (rancour and) spite (that they had for others in the world). Streams will flow under (their palaces) and they will say: ‘All praise belongs to Allah alone Who has brought us here. Had Allah not guided us, we would never have made our way through (to this station). Verily, the Messengers of our Lord brought us (the message of) Truth. It will be called out (that Day): ‘You have been made heirs to this Paradise for the (pious) deeds that you used to do.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 44[/INST]And the people of Paradise will call out to the inmates of Hell: ‘We have really found true the promise that our Lord made to us. Have you (also) found true what your Lord promised (you)?’ They will answer: ‘Yes.’ Thereupon a herald will call out among them: ‘The curse of Allah is on the wrongdoers.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 45[/INST](It is they) who used to hinder (the people) from the path of Allah and look for crookedness in it and they disbelieved in the Hereafter.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 46[/INST]And between both (of them i.e. the inmates of Paradise and Hell) there is a barrier (ramparts or heights), and on the A‘raf (the ramparts) there will be men who will recognize all by their features. And they will call out to the people of Paradise: ‘Peace be upon you.’ They (the people of the A‘raf [the Heights]) will not have entered Paradise (themselves as yet) but will be aspiring (to that).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 47[/INST]And when their eyes will be turned towards the inmates of Hell, they will say: ‘O our Lord, (join) us not (together) with the unjust people.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 48[/INST]And the people of the A‘raf (the Heights) will call out to those people (of Hell) whom they will be recognizing by their identification marks saying (to them): ‘Your parties could not be of any use for you, nor (could rescue you) your arrogance that you used to practise.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 49[/INST]Is it they about whom you used to swear (on seeing their miserable plight): ‘Allah will (never) bless them with His Mercy?’ (But listen! It is they who are now being called:) ‘Enter Paradise; you will neither fear nor grieve.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 50[/INST]And the inmates of Hell will call out to the inhabitants of Paradise: ‘Bless us with some water (of Paradise) or of (the provision) that Allah has granted you.’ They will say: ‘Allah has indeed forbidden both (these bounties) to the disbelievers,</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 51[/INST]Those that made their Din (Religion) a funfair and sport and whom the worldly life had deceived.’ We shall forget them Today as they forgot their meeting of this Day (with Us) and as they used to deny Our Revelations.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 52[/INST]And surely We have brought them such a Book (the Qur’an) which We have elucidated (i.e. made clear) on (the basis of Our) knowledge, a guidance and a mercy for those who believe.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 53[/INST]They are just waiting for the outcome of that (stated matter). The Day when the outcome of that (matter) will be unfolded, the people who had forgotten it before this will say: ‘No doubt the Messengers of our Lord came with the Truth. So, are there any intercessors (Today) who will intercede for us? Or, could we be returned (to the world again) so that (this time) we might do deeds different from (those) that we had been perpetrating (before)?’ They certainly harmed themselves, and that (lie and fabrication) which they used to invent has parted with them.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 54[/INST]Indeed Allah is your Lord, Who created the heavens and the earth in six aeons (six phases), and then (matching His Glory) ascended to His Throne (i.e. enforced in the universe the system of His Sovereign Command and Control). He wraps up the day with the night (under the arrangement that the day and the night) keep chasing one another swiftly. And the sun and the moon and the stars (all) have been subjected to (a system) under His Command. Beware! He is the One Who runs the system of Creating (everything), Planning, Command and Control. Blessed is Allah Who gradually and progressively sustains and nourishes all the worlds.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 55[/INST]Invoke your Lord (both) most submissively and on the queit. Surely He does not like the transgressors.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 56[/INST]And do not cause disruption and mischief in the land after it has been set in order (i.e. after reformation of living conditions in the country). And keep supplicating Him fearing (His torment) and aspiring (to His Mercy). Assuredly Allah’s Mercy is near to those who are (spiritually excellent,) committed to doing pious works.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 57[/INST]And He is the One Who sends the winds as glad tidings before His Mercy (rain) until when these (winds) bring moisture-laden heavy clouds, We drive these (clouds) towards a town dead (of drought and infertility). Then We cause downpour from (the clouds), and by means of this (water) We bring forth fruits of all kinds (from the earth). In like manner We shall bring forth the dead (from the graves on the Day of Resurrection), so that you may take direction and guidance.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 58[/INST]And the soil which is productive (i.e. fertile) yields vegetation (plentifully) by the Command of Allah, but (the soil) which is sterile brings forth nothing but scanty rubbish. In the same way We repeatedly elucidate (Our) Revelations (Proofs and Signs) for the people who are grateful.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 59[/INST]Indeed We sent Nuh (Noah) to his people. So he said: ‘O my people! Worship Allah; you have no other God except He. Verily I fear for you the torment of a dreadful Day.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 60[/INST]The chiefs and the affluent of his people said: ‘(O Nuh -Noah,) surely we find you (caught) in an open error.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 61[/INST]He said: ‘O my people, there is not any error in me but (the truth is that) I am (raised as) a Messenger by the Lord of all the worlds.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 62[/INST]I communicate to you the messages of my Lord and exhort you, and I know from Allah that which you do not know.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 63[/INST]Do you wonder that direction and guidance from your Lord has come (on the tongue) of a man from among yourselves so that he may warn you (of the chastisement of Allah), and that you become Godfearing, and the purpose is that Mercy may be shown to you?’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 64[/INST]Then they belied him. So We delivered him and those who were with him in the Ark and We drowned all those who rejected Our Revelations as false. They were indeed a blind people (with no insight).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 65[/INST]And to (the people of) ‘Ad We (sent) their (kinship) brother Hud. He said: ‘O my people, always worship Allah; you have no other God except He. Will you not become Godfearing?’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 66[/INST]The chiefs and the affluent of his people who disbelieved (i.e. resisted and opposed the call for Truth) said: ‘(O Hud,) we really find you (steeped) in foolishness and we think you are surely one of the liars.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 67[/INST]He said: ‘O my people, there is no foolishness about me but (the truth is that) I am (raised as) a Messenger from the Lord of all the worlds.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 68[/INST]I am communicating to you the messages of my Lord and I am your trustworthy well-wisher.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 69[/INST]Do you wonder that direction and guidance from your Lord has come (on the tongue) of a man from among yourselves so that he may warn you (of the chastisement of Allah)? And call to mind when He made you the successors (in the land) after the people of Nuh (Noah) and in raising you amply augmented your power (might and stature). So remember the Favours of Allah so that you may prosper.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 70[/INST]They said: ‘Have you come to us (that) we may worship only One God, Allah, and forsake (all those gods) whom our ancestors used to worship? So bring upon us that (torment) you have warned us of if you are of the truthful.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 71[/INST]He said: ‘Certainly the torment and wrath upon you from your Lord has become inevitable. Do you dispute with me over the names (of those idols) which you (yourselves) and your ancestors have (supposedly) named and for which Allah has not sent down any authority? So wait (for the torment); I am (also) with you among those who wait.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 72[/INST]Then We emancipated him and those who were on his side by Our Mercy and cut the roots of those who denied Our Revelations. And they were those who would never have believed.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 73[/INST]And to (the people of) Thamud We (sent) their (kinship) brother Salih. He said: ‘O my people, always worship Allah; you have no other God except He. Indeed there has come to you from your Lord a clear Sign. This she-camel of Allah is a Sign for you. So leave her (free) to graze in Allah’s earth and do not touch her with an evil (intention) or a grievous torment will seize you.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 74[/INST]And remember when He made you successors (in the land) after (the people of) ‘Ad and granted you settlement in the land. You build castles in the soft (plain) areas and carve out mountains to chisel dwellings (out of them). So remember (these) Favours of Allah and do not cause disruption and mischief in the land.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 75[/INST]The arrogant and rebellious chiefs and the rich of his people asked the poor and the down-trodden who had accepted faith: ‘Are you sure that Salih has been really sent from his Lord (as His Messenger)?’ They said: ‘We surely believe in whatever he has been sent with.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 76[/INST]The arrogant said: ‘No doubt we strongly deny (that) which you have believed in.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 77[/INST]So they killed the she-camel (by hamstringing) and rebelled against the command of their Lord and said: ‘O Salih! Bring upon us that (torment) you have threatened us with if you are (truly) from among the Messengers.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 78[/INST]So (the torment of) a high-scale earthquake seized them and in the morning they lay (dead) in their homes with faces down upon the ground.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 79[/INST]Then (Salih) turned away from them, saying: ‘O my people, verily I delivered to you the message of my Lord and gave you advice (as well) but you do not like the counsellors.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 80[/INST]And (likewise We sent) Lut ([Lot] as well) when he said to his people: ‘Do you perpetrate (such) lasciviousness as no people in the world have attempted before you?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 81[/INST]Verily you go after men for your lust leaving the women; you are in truth given to transgression.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 82[/INST]And his people had no reply except that they said: ‘Drive them out of the town; indeed they seek extreme purity!’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 83[/INST]So We delivered him (Lut [Lot]) and his family except his wife; she was one of those who stay on in torment.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 84[/INST]And We rained on them (stones). See then what the end of the evildoers was!</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 85[/INST]And towards Madyan (We sent) their (kinship) brother Shu‘aib. He said: ‘O my people, always worship Allah; you have no God except He. Indeed there has come to you from your Lord a clear sign. So give full measure and weight and do not decrease while giving people their things, nor create mischief in the land after reformation (of the living conditions). This is better for you if you believe (in the Divine Message).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 86[/INST]And do not sit on every path to frighten everyone who has embraced faith in this (Call) and to hinder (him) from the path of Allah and to look for any crookedness in this (Message to make him feel frustrated and disgusted with the true Din [Religion]). And remember (Allah’s favour) when you were small in number and He multiplied you, and see what was the end of those who spread mischief and cause disruption!</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 87[/INST]And if a party among you have believed in that (Din [Religion]) which I have been sent with and some other party have not believed in it, then, (O Believers,) have patience till Allah judges between us and He is the Best of judges.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 88[/INST]The rebellious and arrogant chiefs and the capitalists of his people said: ‘O Shu‘aib, we shall in any case drive you out of our town and those who, in your company, have embraced faith or else you shall have to return to our religion.’ Shu‘aib said: ‘Even though we despise (to return to your religion)?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 89[/INST]Indeed we would invent a lie against Allah if we returned to your religion after Allah has saved us from it. And it is not at all (appropriate) for us to return to that (religion) unless Allah, our Lord, so wills. As for His knowledge, our Lord encompasses everything; we have put our trust in Allah alone. O our Lord, judge between us and our (hostile) people with Truth and You are the Best of judges.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 90[/INST]And the chiefs and capitalists of his people, who had disbelieved (and denied the Truth), said: ‘O people, if you follow Shu‘aib then you will surely be the losers.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 91[/INST]Then a (torment of) high-scale earthquake seized them and in the morning they were dead lying prone in their homes.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 92[/INST]Those who belied Shu‘aib were (annihilated), as if they had (never) lived in that (town). Those who belied Shu‘aib, it was (in fact) they who became the losers.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 93[/INST]Then (Shu‘aib) separated from them and said: ‘O my people, verily, I communicated to you the Messages of my Lord and I admonished you (as well). Then why should I regret (the devastation of) a disbelieving people?’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 94[/INST]And never did We send a Messenger to any land but that We seized its inhabitants with hardship, scarcity, adversity and suffering (due to belying and defying the Messenger) so that they might moan and go humble.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 95[/INST]We then changed (their) misfortune with good fortune till they made (an all-embracing) progress. But (out of ingratitude) they said: ‘Our ancestors too have been living through pain and pleasure (the same way).’ So We caught them unawares on this ingratitude and they did not even notice (it).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 96[/INST]But if the inhabitants of (these) towns had embraced faith and adopted Godwariness We would have opened to them blessings from the heavens and the earth. But they rejected (the Truth). So We seized them with (torment) for the (impious acts) they used to perpetrate.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 97[/INST]Have the residents of the towns now become free of this fear that Our torment may seize them (again) at night when they are (fast) asleep (in carefree slumber)?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 98[/INST]Or are the residents of the towns free of this fear that Our torment may seize them (again) in the forenoon when they are at play (completely lost in the worldly pleasures)?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 99[/INST]Are they fearless of Allah‘s secret plan? So, no one feels fearless against the secret plan of Allah except the people who run into loss.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 100[/INST]Does (this also) not guide and (enlighten) those who have inherited the earth (themselves) after (the destruction of) those (one time) dwelling in the earth that if We desire We may punish them (as well) for their sins and We shall seal their hearts (due to their evil behaviour) so they will be unable to hear (and understand the Truth).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 101[/INST]These are the towns whose news We are narrating to you. Surely their Messengers came to them with Clear Signs. But (even then) they remained inert to believe in what they had rejected before. That is how Allah seals up the hearts of the disbelievers.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 102[/INST]And We did not find (the fulfilment of) commitment in most of them and We found most of them but disobedient.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 103[/INST]Then after them We sent Musa (Moses) with Our Signs to Pharaoh and the nobles of his (court), but they did injustice to (these Proofs and Miracles). See, then, what was the end of those who spread mischief and strife!</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 104[/INST]And Musa (Moses) said: ‘O Pharaoh! Indeed I am (raised as) a Messenger from the Lord of all the worlds.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 105[/INST]What behooves me is to say (nothing) about Allah but the Truth. I have indeed brought you a Clear Sign from your Lord. So send away with me the Children of Israel (setting them free of your yoke of slavery).’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 106[/INST]He (Pharaoh) said: ‘If you have brought a Sign then bring it (to the fore) if you are truthful.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 107[/INST]So Musa (Moses) put his staff (down), and at once it changed into a veritable serpent.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 108[/INST]And he drew out his hand (after putting it into his collar opening) and that (too) at once became (radiant) white to the viewers.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 109[/INST]The chiefs of Pharaoh’s people said: ‘He is for sure (some) expert magician.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 110[/INST]‘(O people!) He seeks to drive you out of your land. So, what do you advise?’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 111[/INST]They said: ‘Put (the matter) of Musa (Moses) and his brother off (for a while) and send out heralds to (different) cities to summon (magicians).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 112[/INST]They would bring you every skilful sorcerer.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 113[/INST]And the magicians came to Pharaoh and said: ‘There should certainly be some reward for us if we overmaster.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 114[/INST]Pharaoh said: ‘Yes, of course; (what to talk of a simple reward, in that case) you will be among the privileged ones (of my court).’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 115[/INST](The magicians) said: ‘Musa (Moses)! Either you throw (your object) or we become (the first) to throw.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 116[/INST]Musa (Moses) said: ‘You throw (first).’ So when they threw (their strings and sticks on the ground) they bewitched the eyes of the people, and struck them with awe, and brought (forth) an extremely effective magic.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 117[/INST]And We revealed to Musa (Moses): ‘(Now) throw your staff (on the ground).’ Then at once it began swallowing up what they had fabricated through deception.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 118[/INST]So, the Truth was established, and everything that they had been doing was proved false.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 119[/INST]So, they (the representatives of Pharaoh) were vanquished on the spot and backed away humiliated.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 120[/INST]And (all) the sorcerers fell down prostrate.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 121[/INST]They exclaimed: ‘We believe in the (real) Sustainer of all the worlds,</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 122[/INST](The) Lord of Musa (Moses) and Harun (Moses and Aaron).’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 123[/INST]Pharaoh said: ‘(Have) you believed in Him even before I permitted you? This is indeed a plot which you (all) have hatched (against me) in this city in order that you may expatriate from this (country) its (Coptic) inhabitants. So you will know (its consequences) very soon.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 124[/INST]Surely, I shall cut off your hands and your feet on alternate sides and then, most certainly, I shall crucify all of you.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 125[/INST]They said: ‘Verily, we are to return to our Lord.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 126[/INST]And which of our acts has annoyed you? Just that we have believed in the (true) Signs of our Lord when they reached us. O our Lord! Gush on us torrents of patience and lift us (from the world) as (steadfast) Muslims.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 127[/INST]And the chiefs of the people of Pharaoh said (to Pharaoh): ‘Will you leave Musa (Moses) and his (revolutionary) people to launch strife in the country? And (then) will they spare you and your gods?’ He said: ‘(No,) we shall now kill their sons (to exhaust their male numerical strength) and let their women live (so that they may be wronged). And surely we hold sway over them.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 128[/INST]Musa (Moses) said to his people: ‘Seek help from Allah and be steadfast; surely the earth belongs to Allah. He makes its inheritors whom He likes of His servants. And it ends well for the Godfearing alone.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 129[/INST]They said: ‘(O Musa (Moses) [Moses]!) We were persecuted before you came to us and after your arrival as well. (We have suffered both ways. When will our misery end?) Musa ([Moses] appeasing his people) said: ‘Your Lord would soon destroy your enemy and (then) make you the successors (to the governance) in the land and He will then monitor how you perform (after coming into power).’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 130[/INST]Then We seized the people of Pharaoh with (the torment of) some years (of famine) and scarce yield of fruits so that they might be admonished.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 131[/INST]But whenever relief reached them, they would say: ‘This is owing to us.’ And when adversity befell them, they would ascribe it as an ill-omen to Musa (Moses) and his companions (of faith). Beware! Their omen (i.e. the evil outcome of their doings) lies with Allah alone. But most of them do not know.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 132[/INST]And they (the people of Pharaoh) said (arrogantly): ‘(O Musa [Moses]!) Whatever Sign you bring us to cast a spell upon us, we are not prone to believe in you.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 133[/INST]Then We sent upon them (many) distinct signs (as chastisement): storms, locusts, lice, frogs and blood. (Even) then they continued with arrogance and rebellion and they were an (extremely) sinful people.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 134[/INST]And when (some) torment befell them, they would say: ‘O Musa (Moses)! Pray for us to your Lord by means of (His) promise with you.

<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 135[/INST]But when We would remove from them the torment for the appointed term which they nearly completed, they would at once break their promise.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 136[/INST]Then ultimately We took retribution from them (for all their disobedience and breach of promises) and drowned them in the river because they (successively) belied Our Revelations and were (absolutely) neglectful of them.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 7 verse 137[/INST]And We made the people (i.e. the Children of Israel) who were powerless and oppressed the inheritors of the east and the west of the land (Egypt and Syria) wherein We had placed blessing.
