  • 7:161

    وَإِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمُ اسْكُنُوا هَـٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةَ وَكُلُوا مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ وَقُولُوا حِطَّةٌ وَادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا نَّغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطِيئَاتِكُمْ  ۚ سَنَزِيدُ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

    вə`из̃ ќиилə лəhуму-скунуу həəз̃иhиль-ќōрйəтə вəкулюю минhəə həйc̃у ши`тум вəќуулюю hиттōтуу-вəəдхулююль-бəəбə суджджəдəн-ннəґфир лəкум хōтыы`əəтикум, сəнəзиидуль-муhсиниин

    And when they were told, ‘Settle in this town and eat thereof whence you wish; and say, ‘‘Relieve [us of the burden of our sins],’’ and enter prostrating at the gate, that We may forgive your iniquities, and soon We shall enhance the virtuous.’
  • 7:162

    فَبَدَّلَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْهُمْ قَوْلًا غَيْرَ الَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمْ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِجْزًا مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَظْلِمُونَ

    фəбəддəлəль-лəз̃иинə з̃ōлəмуу минhум ќōулəн ґōйрōль-лəз̃ии ќиилə лəhум фə`əрсəльнəə 'əлэйhим риджзəмм-минəс-сəмəə`и бимəə кəəнуу йəз̃лимуун

    But the wrongdoers changed the saying with other than what they had been told. So We sent against them a plague from the sky because of the wrongs they used to commit.
  • 7:163

    وَاسْأَلْهُمْ عَنِ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ حَاضِرَةَ الْبَحْرِ إِذْ يَعْدُونَ فِي السَّبْتِ إِذْ تَأْتِيهِمْ حِيتَانُهُمْ يَوْمَ سَبْتِهِمْ شُرَّعًا وَيَوْمَ لَا يَسْبِتُونَ  ۙ لَا تَأْتِيهِمْ  ۚ كَذَ‌ٰلِكَ نَبْلُوهُم بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْسُقُونَ

    вəəс`əльhум 'əниль-ќōрйəтиль-лəтии кəəнəт həəдырōтəль-бəhри из̃ йə'дуунə фиис-сəбти из̃ тə`тииhим hиитəəнуhум йəумə сəбтиhим шуррō'əу-вəйəумə лəə йəсбитуунə лəə тə`тииhим, кəз̃əəликə нəблююhумм-бимəə кəəнуу йəфсуќуун

    Ask them about the town that was situated on the seaside, when they violated the Sabbath, when their fish would come to them on the Sabbath day, visibly on the shore, but on days when they were not keeping Sabbath they would not come to them. Thus did We test them because of the transgressions they used to commit.
  • 7:164

    وَإِذْ قَالَتْ أُمَّةٌ مِّنْهُمْ لِمَ تَعِظُونَ قَوْمًا  ۙ اللَّهُ مُهْلِكُهُمْ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا  ۖ قَالُوا مَعْذِرَةً إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ

    вə`из̃ ќōōлəт уммəтумм-минhум лимə тə'из̃уунə ќōумəнл-лаhу муhликуhум əу му'əз̃з̃ибуhум 'əз̃əəбəн шəдиидə, ќōōлюю мə'з̃ирōтəн илəə рōббикум вəлə'əльлəhум йəттəќуун

    When a group of them said, ‘Why do you advise a people whom Allah will destroy, or punish with a severe punishment?’ They said, ‘As an excuse before your Lord, and [with the hope] that they may be Godwary.’
  • 7:165

    فَلَمَّا نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ أَنجَيْنَا الَّذِينَ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ السُّوءِ وَأَخَذْنَا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا بِعَذَابٍ بَئِيسٍ بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْسُقُونَ

    фəлəммəə нəсуу мəə з̃уккируу биhи əŋŋджəйнəəль-лəз̃иинə йəнhəунə 'əнис-суу`и вə`əхōз̃нəəль-лəз̃иинə з̃ōлəмуу би'əз̃əəбимм-бə`иисимм-бимəə кəəнуу йəфсуќуун

    So when they forgot what they had been reminded of, We delivered those who forbade evil [conduct] and seized the wrongdoers with a terrible punishment because of the transgressions they used to commit.
  • 7:166

    فَلَمَّا عَتَوْا عَن مَّا نُهُوا عَنْهُ قُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُوا قِرَدَةً خَاسِئِينَ

    фəлəммəə 'əтəу 'əмм-мəə нуhуу 'əнhу ќульнəə лəhум куунуу ќирōдəтəн хōōси`иин

    When they defied [the command pertaining to] what they were forbidden from, We said to them, ‘Be you spurned apes.’
  • 7:167

    وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكَ لَيَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَن يَسُومُهُمْ سُوءَ الْعَذَابِ  ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَسَرِيعُ الْعِقَابِ  ۖ وَإِنَّهُ لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

    вə`из̃ тə`əз̃з̃əнə рōббукə лəйəб'əc̃əннə 'əлэйhим илəə йəумиль-ќийəəмəти мəй-йəсуумуhум суу`əль-'əз̃əəб, иннə рōббəкə лəсəрии'уль-'иќōōб, вə`иннəhу лəґōфуурур-рōhиим

    And when your Lord proclaimed that He would surely send against them, until the Day of Resurrection, those who would inflict on them a terrible punishment. Indeed your Lord is swift in retribution, and indeed, He is all-forgiving, all-merciful.
  • 7:168

    وَقَطَّعْنَاهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أُمَمًا  ۖ مِّنْهُمُ الصَّالِحُونَ وَمِنْهُمْ دُونَ ذَ‌ٰلِكَ  ۖ وَبَلَوْنَاهُم بِالْحَسَنَاتِ وَالسَّيِّئَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

    We dispersed them into communities around the earth: some of them were righteous, and some of them otherwise, and We tested them with good and bad [times] so that they may come back.
  • 7:169

    فَخَلَفَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ وَرِثُوا الْكِتَابَ يَأْخُذُونَ عَرَضَ هَـٰذَا الْأَدْنَىٰ وَيَقُولُونَ سَيُغْفَرُ لَنَا وَإِن يَأْتِهِمْ عَرَضٌ مِّثْلُهُ يَأْخُذُوهُ  ۚ أَلَمْ يُؤْخَذْ عَلَيْهِم مِّيثَاقُ الْكِتَابِ أَن لَّا يَقُولُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْحَقَّ وَدَرَسُوا مَا فِيهِ  ۗ وَالدَّارُ الْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ  ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

    фəхōлəфə мимм-бə'диhим хōльфуу-вəриc̃ууль-китəəбə йə`хуз̃уунə 'əрōдō həəз̃əəль-əднəə вəйəќуулююнə сəйуґфəру лəнəə вə`ий-йə`тиhим 'əрōдумм-миc̃люhу йə`хуз̃ууh, əлəм йу`хōз̃ 'əлэйhим-мииc̃əəќуль-китəəби əль-лəə йəќуулюю 'əлəл-лаhи ильлəəль-həќќō вəдəрōсуу мəə фииh, вəд-дəəруль-əəхырōту хōйрул-лильлəз̃иинə йəттəќуун, əфəлəə тə'ќилююн

    Then they were succeeded by an evil posterity, which inherited the Book: they grab the transitory gains of this lower world, and say, ‘It will be forgiven us.’ And if similar transitory gains were to come their way, they would grab them too. Was not the covenant of the Book taken with them that they shall not attribute anything to Allah except the truth? They have studied what is in it, and [know that] the abode of the Hereafter is better for those who are Godwary. Do you not exercise your reason?
  • 7:170

    وَالَّذِينَ يُمَسِّكُونَ بِالْكِتَابِ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ إِنَّا لَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُصْلِحِينَ

    As for those who hold fast to the Book and maintain the prayer—indeed, We do not waste the reward of those who bring about reform.
  • 7:171

     ۞ وَإِذْ نَتَقْنَا الْجَبَلَ فَوْقَهُمْ كَأَنَّهُ ظُلَّةٌ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُ وَاقِعٌ بِهِمْ خُذُوا مَا آتَيْنَاكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَاذْكُرُوا مَا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

    When We plucked the mountain [and held it] above them as if it were a canopy (and they thought it was about to fall on them): ‘Hold on with power to what We have given you and remember that which is in it, so that you may be Godwary.’
  • 7:172

    وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِن بَنِي آدَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ  ۖ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ  ۛ شَهِدْنَا  ۛ أَن تَقُولُوا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَـٰذَا غَافِلِينَ

    When your Lord took from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their descendants and made them bear witness over themselves, [He said to them,] ‘Am I not your Lord?’ They said, ‘Yes indeed! We bear witness.’ [This,] lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, ‘Indeed we were unaware of this,’
  • 7:173

    أَوْ تَقُولُوا إِنَّمَا أَشْرَكَ آبَاؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا ذُرِّيَّةً مِّن بَعْدِهِمْ  ۖ أَفَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ

    or lest you should say, ‘Our fathers ascribed partners [to Allah] before [us] and we were descendants after them. Will You then destroy us because of what the falsifiers have done?’
  • 7:174

    وَكَذَ‌ٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

    вəкəз̃əəликə нуфəссылюль-əəйəəти вəлə'əльлəhум йəрджи'уун

    Thus do We elaborate the signs, so that they may come back.
  • 7:175

    وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ الَّذِي آتَيْنَاهُ آيَاتِنَا فَانسَلَخَ مِنْهَا فَأَتْبَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْغَاوِينَ

    Relate to them an account of him to whom We gave Our signs, but he cast them off. Thereupon Satan pursued him, and he became one of the perverse.
  • 7:176

    وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنَاهُ بِهَا وَلَـٰكِنَّهُ أَخْلَدَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ  ۚ فَمَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ إِن تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْهِ يَلْهَثْ أَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ يَلْهَث  ۚ ذَّ‌ٰلِكَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا  ۚ فَاقْصُصِ الْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

    Had We wished, We would have surely raised him by their means, but he clung to the earth and followed his [base] desires. So his parable is that of a dog: if you make for it, it lolls out its tongue, and if you let it alone, it lolls out its tongue. Such is the parable of the people who deny Our signs. So recount these narratives, so that they may reflect.
  • 7:177

    سَاءَ مَثَلًا الْقَوْمُ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَأَنفُسَهُمْ كَانُوا يَظْلِمُونَ

    Evil is the parable of the people who deny Our signs and wrong themselves.
  • 7:178

    مَن يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِي  ۖ وَمَن يُضْلِلْ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ

    мəй-йəhдиль-лəhу фəhувəль-муhтəдий, вəмəй-йудлиль фə`уулəə`икə hумуль-хōōсируун

    Whomever Allah guides is rightly guided, and whomever He leads astray—it is they who are the losers.
  • 7:179

    وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ  ۖ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ لَّا يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ آذَانٌ لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا  ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ كَالْأَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ  ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْغَافِلُونَ

    Certainly We have winnowed out for hell many of the jinn and humans: they have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, they have ears with which they do not hear. They are like cattle; indeed, they are more astray. It is they who are the heedless.
  • 7:180

    وَلِلَّهِ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَىٰ فَادْعُوهُ بِهَا  ۖ وَذَرُوا الَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِي أَسْمَائِهِ  ۚ سَيُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

    To Allah belong the Best Names, so supplicate Him by them, and abandon those who commit sacrilege in His names. Soon they shall be requited for what they used to do.
