The Heights (Meccan)

quran:7:51 –

Who took their religion as distraction and amusement and whom the worldly life deluded." So today We will forget them just as they forgot the meeting of this Day of theirs and for having rejected Our verses.  

those who took their religion for a diversion and a game, and whom the life of this world has deluded.’ Therefore today We have forgotten them, We have left them in the Fire, just as they forgot the encounter of this day of theirs, when they neglected to perform ˹good˺ deeds for it, and because they used to deny Our signs.
القرآن:٧:٥١ –

الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا دِينَهُمْ لَهْوًا وَلَعِبًا وَغَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا ۚ فَالْيَوْمَ نَنْسَاهُمْ كَمَا نَسُوا لِقَاءَ يَوْمِهِمْ هَٰذَا وَمَا كَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ  

{الذين اتخذوا دينهم لهوا ولعبا وغرتهم الحياة الدنيا فاليوم ننساهم} نتركهم في النار {كما نسوا لقاء يومهم هذا} بتركهم العمل له {وما كانوا بآياتنا يجحدون} أي وكما جحدوا.
quran:7:52 –

And We had certainly brought them a Book which We detailed by knowledge - as guidance and mercy to a people who believe.  

And indeed We have brought them, that is, the people of Mecca, a Book, the Qur’ān, which We have detailed, ˹which˺ We have made clear through tidings and the Promise ˹of reward˺ and the Threat ˹of punishment˺, with knowledge (‘alā ‘ilmin is a circumstantial qualifier, in other words, ‘knowing what has been detailed in it’), a guidance (hudan is ˹also˺ a circumstantial qualifier referring to the hā’ ˹the suffixed pronoun of fassālnā-hu, ‘which We have detailed’˺) and a mercy for a people who believe, in it.
القرآن:٧:٥٢ –

وَلَقَدْ جِئْنَاهُمْ بِكِتَابٍ فَصَّلْنَاهُ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ هُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ  

{ولقد جئناهم} أي أهل مكة {بكتاب} قرآن {فصَّلناه} بيَّناه بالأخبار والوعد والوعيد {على علم} حال أي عالمين بما فصَّل فيه {هدى} حال من الهاء {ورحمة لقوم يؤمنون} به.
quran:7:53 –

Do they await except its result? The Day its result comes those who had ignored it before will say, "The messengers of our Lord had come with the truth, so are there ˹now˺ any intercessors to intercede for us or could we be sent back to do other than we used to do?" They will have lost themselves, and lost from them is what they used to invent.  

Are they waiting — they are not waiting — for anything but its fulfilment, the consequences of what is in it? On the day when its fulfilment comes, which will be ˹on˺ the Day of Resurrection, those who were forgetful of it before, ˹those who˺ neglected to believe in it, shall say, ‘Indeed, our Lord’s messengers came with the truth. Have we then any intercessors, that they may intercede for us, or shall we be returned, to the world, that we may act otherwise than we used to act?’, ˹and instead˺ affirm God’s Oneness and refrain from associating others with Him. It will then be said to them, ‘No!’ God, exalted be He, says: Verily they have lost their souls, for they have ended up in perdition, and that which they used to invent, in alleging ˹that God has˺ a partner, has failed, has abandoned, them.
القرآن:٧:٥٣ –

هَلْ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَّا تَأْوِيلَهُ ۚ يَوْمَ يَأْتِي تَأْوِيلُهُ يَقُولُ الَّذِينَ نَسُوهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ قَدْ جَاءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِالْحَقِّ فَهَلْ لَنَا مِنْ شُفَعَاءَ فَيَشْفَعُوا لَنَا أَوْ نُرَدُّ فَنَعْمَلَ غَيْرَ الَّذِي كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ ۚ قَدْ خَسِرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ  

{هل ينظرون} ما ينتظرون {إلا تأويله} عاقبة ما فيه {يوم يأتي تأويله} هو يوم القيامة {يقول الذين نسوه من قبل} تركوا الإيمان به {قد جاءت رسل ربنا بالحق فهل لنا من شفعاء فيشفعوا لنا أو} هل {نُرد} إلى الدنيا {فنعمل غير الذي كنا نعمل} نوحِّد الله ونترك الشرك، فيقال لهم: لا، قال تعالى: {قد خسروا أنفسهم} إذ صاروا إلى الهلاك {وضلّ} ذهب {عنهم ما كانوا يفترون} من دعوى الشريك.
quran:7:54 –

Indeed, your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He covers the night with the day, ˹another night˺ chasing it rapidly; and ˹He created˺ the sun, the moon, and the stars, subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds.  

Surely your Lord is God, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, of the days of this world, that is to say, in the equivalent thereof, since there was no sun then. Had He willed He could have created them in an instant; but the reason for His not having done so is that He wanted to teach His creatures to be circumspect; then presided upon the Throne, a presiding befitting of Him (al-‘arsh, ‘throne’, in the ˹classical˺ language is the elevated seat on which a king sits). He cloaks (read yughshī or yughashshī) the night with the day, that is, He covers each one with the other: each following the other in swift pursuit — and the sun and the moon and the stars (if all of these are read in the accusative, then they constitute a supplement to al-samāwāt, ‘the heavens’, and if in the nominative, then they constitute the subject of the sentence, the predicate of which follows) have been made subservient, ˹have been˺ subdued, by His command, by His power. Verily, His is, all, creation and the command, in its entirety. Blessed, Magnified, be God, the Lord, the Master, of the Worlds!
القرآن:٧:٥٤ –

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يُغْشِي اللَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهُ حَثِيثًا وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَاتٍ بِأَمْرِهِ ۗ أَلَا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالْأَمْرُ ۗ تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ  

{إن ربكم الله الذي خلق السماوات والأرض في ستة أيام} من أيام الدنيا، أي في قدرها لأنه لم يكن ثَمَّ شمس ولو شاء خلقهم في لمحة، والعدول عنه لتعليم خلقه التثبيت {ثم استوى على العرش} هو في اللغة: سرير الملك استواء يليق به {يُغْشِي الليل النهار} مخففا ومشددا أي يغطي كلا منهما بالآخر طلبا {يطلبه حثيثا} سريعا {والشمس والقمر والنجوم} بالنصب عطفا على السماوات والرفع مبتدأ خبره {مسخرات} مذلَّلات {بأمره} بقدرته {ألا له الخلق} جميعا {والأمر} كله {تبارك} تعاظم {الله ربُّ} مالك {العالمين}.
quran:7:55 –

Call upon your Lord in humility and privately; indeed, He does not like transgressors.  

Call upon your Lord humbly (tadarru‘an is a circumstantial qualifier), in subservience, and quietly, in secret. Truly, He loves not the aggressors, who are braggarts and loud-mouthed in ˹their˺ supplications.
القرآن:٧:٥٥ –

ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًا وَخُفْيَةً ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ  

{ادعوا ربَّكم تضرُّعا} حال تذللا {وخُفية} سرا {إنه لا يحب المعتدين} في الدعاء بالتشدق ورفع الصوت.
quran:7:56 –

And cause not corruption upon the earth after its reformation. And invoke Him in fear and aspiration. Indeed, the mercy of Allah is near to the doers of good.  

And work not corruption in the land, through idolatry and acts of disobedience, after it has been set right, as a result of the sending forth of messengers ˹to it˺, and call upon Him in fear, of His punishment, and in hope, of His mercy — surely the mercy of God is near to the virtuous, the obedient (qarīb, ‘near’, as the predicate of ˹the feminine noun˺ rahma, ‘mercy’, is in the masculine because it ˹rahma˺ is annexed to Allāh, ‘God’).
القرآن:٧:٥٦ –

وَلَا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَاحِهَا وَادْعُوهُ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا ۚ إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ  

{ولا تُفسدوا في الأرض} بالشرك والمعاصي {بعد إصلاحها} ببعث الرسل {وادعوه خوفا} من عقابه {وطمعا} في رحمته {إن رحمة الله قريب من المحسنين} المطيعين وتذكير قريب المخبر به عن رحمة لإضافتها إلى الله.
quran:7:57 –

And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy until, when they have carried heavy rainclouds, We drive them to a dead land and We send down rain therein and bring forth thereby ˹some˺ of all the fruits. Thus will We bring forth the dead; perhaps you may be reminded.  

He it is Who sends the winds, unfolding with His mercy, that is, dispersing before the rains (a variant reading ˹for nushuran, ‘unfolding’˺ has nushran; another reading has nashran as the verbal noun; and a third variant has bushran, meaning mubashshiran, ‘˹with which˺ He is bearing good tidings ˹of His mercy˺’; the singular of the first reading is nashūr, similar ˹in pattern˺ to rasūl, ‘messenger’; the singular of the last is bashīr) until, when they, the winds, bear heavy clouds, ˹clouds heavy˺ with rain, We lead it, that is, ˹We lead˺ the clouds (herein is a shift from the third ˹to the first˺ person), to a dead land, one devoid of any vegetation, in other words, ˹We lead it there˺ in order to revive it, and then We send down thereon, on that land, and bring forth thereby, by this water, fruits of every kind. Like that, bringing forth, We shall bring forth the dead, from their graves, through revivification, so that you might remember, and believe.
القرآن:٧:٥٧ –

وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ بُشْرًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهِ ۖ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا أَقَلَّتْ سَحَابًا ثِقَالًا سُقْنَاهُ لِبَلَدٍ مَيِّتٍ فَأَنْزَلْنَا بِهِ الْمَاءَ فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِ مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُخْرِجُ الْمَوْتَىٰ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ  

{وهو الذي يرسل الرياح نُشُرا بين يدي رحمته} أي متفرقة قدام المطر، وفي قراءة سكون الشين تخفيفا، وفي أخرى بسكونها وفتح النون مصدرا، وفي أخرى بسكونها وضم الموحدة بدل النون: أي مبشرا ومفرد الأولى نشور كرسول والأخيرة بشير {حتى إذا أقلت} حملت الرياح {سحابا ثقالا} بالمطر {سقناه} أي السحاب وفيه التفات عن الغيبة {لبلد ميت} لا نبات به أي لإحيائها {فأنزلنا به} بالبلد {الماء فأخرجنا به} بالماء {من كل الثمرات كذلك} الإخراج {نخرج الموتى} من قبورهم بالإحياء {لعلكم تذكرون} فتؤمنون.
quran:7:58 –

And the good land - its vegetation emerges by permission of its Lord; but that which is bad - nothing emerges except sparsely, with difficulty. Thus do We diversify the signs for a people who are grateful.  

As for the good land, the one of rich soil, its vegetation comes forth, wholesomely, by permission of its Lord — this is a similitude of the believer who, when he hears an admonition, he ˹heeds it and˺ benefits from it. While as for the, one whose soil is, bad — the vegetation in, it comes forth only miserably, laboriously and with difficulty — this is the similitude of the disbeliever. Even, as We have made clear what has been mentioned, so We dispense, We make clear, the signs for a people who are thankful, to God and so believe.
القرآن:٧:٥٨ –

وَالْبَلَدُ الطَّيِّبُ يَخْرُجُ نَبَاتُهُ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِ ۖ وَالَّذِي خَبُثَ لَا يَخْرُجُ إِلَّا نَكِدًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَشْكُرُونَ  

{والبلد الطيب} العذب التراب {يخرج نباته} حسنا {بإذن ربه} هذا مثل للمؤمن يسمع الموعظة فينتفع بها {والذي خبث} ترابه {لا يخرج} نباته {إلا نكدا} عسرا بمشقة وهذا مثل للكافر {كذلك} كما بينا ما ذكر {نُصرِّف} نبين {الآيات لقوم يشكرون} الله يؤمنون.
quran:7:59 –

We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day.  

Verily (laqad is the response to an oath that has been omitted) We sent Noah to his people, and he said, ‘O my people, worship God! You have no god other than Him (read ghayrihi as an adjective of ilāh, ‘god’, or ghayruhu as a substitution in its place ˹sc. instead of min ilāhin, ‘any god’). Truly, I fear for you, if you worship other than Him, the chastisement of an Awful Day’, that is, the Day of Resurrection.
القرآن:٧:٥٩ –

لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ  

{لقد} جواب قسم محذوف {أرسلنا نوحا إلى قومه فقال يا قوم اعبدوا الله ما لكم من إله غَيْرُِهُ} بالجر صفة لإله والرفع بدل من محله {إني أخاف عليكم} إن عبدتم غيره {عذاب يوم عظيم} هو يوم القيامة.
quran:7:60 –

Said the eminent among his people, "Indeed, we see you in clear error."  

The council, of the respected elders, of his people, said: ‘Truly We see you in manifest error’.
القرآن:٧:٦٠ –

قَالَ الْمَلَأُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ إِنَّا لَنَرَاكَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ  

{قال الملأ} الأشراف {من قومه إنا لنراك في ضلالٍ مبين} بيَّن.
quran:7:61 –

˹Noah˺ said, "O my people, there is not error in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds."  

He said, ‘My people, there is no error in me (dalāla is more general than al-dalāl, ‘misguidance’, and so to deny it is more effective than to deny the latter), but I am a messenger from the Lord of the Worlds.
القرآن:٧:٦١ –

قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَيْسَ بِي ضَلَالَةٌ وَلَٰكِنِّي رَسُولٌ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ  

{قال يا قوم ليس بي ضلالة} هي أعم من الضلال فنفيها أبلغ من نفيه {ولكني رسول من رب العالمين}.
quran:7:62 –

I convey to you the messages of my Lord and advise you; and I know from Allah what you do not know.  

I convey to you (read ublighkum or uballighukum) the Messages of my Lord, and I am advising you, I desire good ˹for you˺, for I know from God what you know not.
القرآن:٧:٦٢ –

أُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي وَأَنْصَحُ لَكُمْ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ  

{أبلِّغُكم} بالتخفيف والتشديد {رسالات ربَّي وأنصح} أريد الخبر {لكم وأعلم من الله ما لا تعلمون}.
quran:7:63 –

Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you and that you may fear Allah so you might receive mercy."  

Do you then, deny, marvel that a reminder, an admonition, from your Lord should come to you through, the tongue of, a man from among you, that he may warn you, of chastisement if you do not believe, and that you may fear, God, and that you might be shown mercy’, by it?
القرآن:٧:٦٣ –

أَوَعَجِبْتُمْ أَنْ جَاءَكُمْ ذِكْرٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ لِيُنْذِرَكُمْ وَلِتَتَّقُوا وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ  

{أ} كذبتم {وعجبتم أن جاءكم ذكر} موعظة {من ربكم على} لسان {رجل منكم لينذركم} العذاب إن لم تؤمنوا {ولتتَّقوا} الله {ولعلكم ترحمون} بها.
quran:7:64 –

But they denied him, so We saved him and those who were with him in the ship. And We drowned those who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a blind people.  

But they denied him, and so We delivered him and those with him, from drowning, in the Ark, ˹in˺ the ship, and We drowned those who denied Our signs, by means of the Flood. Truly they were a people blind, to the truth.

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَنْجَيْنَاهُ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ فِي الْفُلْكِ وَأَغْرَقْنَا الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمًا عَمِينَ  

{فكذَّبوه فأنجيناه والذين معه} من الغرق {في الفلك} السفينة {وأغرقنا الذين كذَّبوا بآياتنا} بالطوفان {إنهم كانوا قوما عَمين} عن الحق.
quran:7:65 –

And to the 'Aad ˹We sent˺ their brother Hud. He said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. Then will you not fear Him?"  

And, We sent, to, the earlier, ‘Ād their brother Hūd. He said, ‘O my people, worship God, affirm His Oneness! You have no god other than Him. Will you not fear?’, will you ˹not˺ fear Him, and so believe?
القرآن:٧:٦٥ –

وَإِلَىٰ عَادٍ أَخَاهُمْ هُودًا ۗ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُ ۚ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

quran:7:69 –

Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you? And remember when He made you successors after the people of Noah and increased you in stature extensively. So remember the favors of Allah that you might succeed.

Remember then God’s bounties, His graces, so that you might prosper’, triumph.
القرآن:٧:٦٩ –

أَوَعَجِبْتُمْ أَنْ جَاءَكُمْ ذِكْرٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ لِيُنْذِرَكُمْ ۚ وَاذْكُرُوا إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ مِنْ بَعْدِ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَزَادَكُمْ فِي الْخَلْقِ بَسْطَةً ۖ فَاذْكُرُوا آلَاءَ اللَّهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

They said, "Have you come to us that we should worship Allah alone and leave what our fathers have worshipped? Then bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the truthful."

قَالُوا أَجِئْتَنَا لِنَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ وَحْدَهُ وَنَذَرَ مَا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُنَا ۖ فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَا إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ  

{قالوا أجئتنا لنعبد الله وحده ونذر} نترك {ما كان يعبد آباؤنا فأتنا بما تعدنا} به من العذاب {إن كنت من الصادقين} في قولك.
quran:7:71 –

˹Hud˺ said, "Already have defilement and anger fallen upon you from your Lord. Do you dispute with me concerning ˹mere˺ names you have named them, you and your fathers, for which Allah has not sent down any authority? Then wait; indeed, I am with you among those who wait."  

He said, ‘Already, terror, chastisement, and wrath from your Lord have fallen, ˹they˺ must be ˹sent down˺, on you. Do you dispute with me concerning names which you have named, that is, with which you, you and your fathers, have named idols that you worship, for which, that is, for the worship of which, God has not revealed any warrant?, any definitive argument or proof? Then await, the chastisement. Truly I shall be with you waiting’, for that, on account of your denial of me: thus a blighting wind was unleashed against them ˹cf. Q. 51:4˺.
القرآن:٧:٧١ –

قَالَ قَدْ وَقَعَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ رِجْسٌ وَغَضَبٌ ۖ أَتُجَادِلُونَنِي فِي أَسْمَاءٍ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَا أَنْتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ مَا نَزَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ ۚ فَانْتَظِرُوا إِنِّي مَعَكُمْ مِنَ الْمُنْتَظِرِينَ  

{قال قد وقع} وجب {عليكم من ربَّكم رجس} عذاب {وغضب أتجادلونني في أسماء سميتموها} أي سميتم بها {أنتم وآباؤكم} أصناما تعبدونها {ما نزَّل الله بها} أي بعبادتها {من سلطان} حجة وبرهان {فانتظروا} العذاب {إني معكم من المنتظرين} ذلكم بتكذيبكم لي فأرسلت عليهم الريح العقيم.
quran:7:72 –

So We saved him and those with him by mercy from Us. And We eliminated those who denied Our signs, and they were not ˹at all˺ believers.  

So We delivered him, namely, Hūd, and those with him, from among the believers, by a mercy from Us, and We cut the root of those, people, who denied Our signs, that is, We extirpated them, and were not believers (wa-mā kānū mu’minīna is a supplement to kadhdhabū, ‘˹those who˺ denied’).
القرآن:٧:٧٢ –

فَأَنْجَيْنَاهُ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنَّا وَقَطَعْنَا دَابِرَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا ۖ وَمَا كَانُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ  

{فأنجيناه} أي هودا {والذين معه} من المؤمنين {برحمة منا وقطعنا دابر} القوم {الذين كذبوا بآياتنا} أي استأصلناكم {وما كانوا مؤمنين} عطف على كذبوا.
quran:7:73 –

And to the Thamud ˹We sent˺ their brother Salih. He said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord. This is the she-camel of Allah ˹sent˺ to you as a sign. So leave her to eat within Allah 's land and do not touch her with harm, lest there seize you a painful punishment.  

And, We sent, to Thamūd (Thamūda, read without declining ˹the noun˺, as denoting the tribe ˹of Thamūd˺ itself) their brother Sālih. He said, ‘O my people, worship God! You have no god other than Him. Truly there has come to you a clear proof, an illustration, from your Lord, of my truthfulness, this is the she-camel of God, a sign for you (lakum āyatan is a circumstantial qualifier operated by the import of the demonstrative noun ˹hādhihi, ‘this’˺), they had asked him to make it come out of a ˹specific˺ rock which they had designated. So leave her to feed throughout God’s earth, and do not touch her with harm, either by hamstringing or beating her, lest you be seized by a painful chastisement.

quran:7:74 –

And remember when He made you successors after the 'Aad and settled you in the land, ˹and˺ you take for yourselves palaces from its plains and carve from the mountains, homes. Then remember the favors of Allah and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption."  

And remember how He made you vicegerents, on earth, after ‘Ād, and gave you habitations in the land, making castles in its plains, in which you lodge during summer, and hewing its mountains into houses, in which you lodge during winter (buyūtan, ‘houses’, is in the accusative because of the implied circumstantial qualifier). So remember God’s bounties and do not be degenerate in the earth, seeking corruption’.

وكانت الناقة لها يوم في الماء ولهم يوم فملوا ذلك {فعقروا الناقة} عقرها قدار بأمرهم بأن قتلها بالسيف {وعتوا عن أمر ربهم وقالوا يا صالح ائتنا بما تعدنا} به من العذاب على قتلها {إن كنت من المرسلين}.

And, We sent, to Midian their brother Shu‘ayb. He said, ‘O my people, worship God! You have no god other than Him.

So give full measure and weight and do not defraud, diminish ˹the value of˺, people’s goods, and do not work corruption in the earth, by way of unbelief and acts of disobedience, after it has been set right, through the sending of messengers ˹thereto˺. That, mentioned, is better for you, if you are believers, ˹if you are˺ seekers of faith, so hasten to it.

And remember when you were but few, and then He multiplied you. And behold what was the end of the agents of corruption, before you, for denying their messengers, that is, ˹behold˺ how destruction was the conclusion of their affair.
القرآن:٧:٨٦ –

وَلَا تَقْعُدُوا بِكُلِّ صِرَاطٍ تُوعِدُونَ وَتَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِهِ وَتَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا ۚ وَاذْكُرُوا إِذْ كُنْتُمْ قَلِيلًا فَكَثَّرَكُمْ ۖ وَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِينَ  

{ولا تقعدوا بكل صراط} طريق {تُوعدون} تخوفون الناس بأخذ ثيابهم أو المكس منهم {وتصدون} تصرفون {عن سبيل الله} دينه {من آمن به} بتوعدكم إياه بالقتل {وتبغونها} تطلبون الطريق {عوجا} معوجة {واذكروا إذ كنتم قليلا فكثَّركم وانظروا كيف كان عاقبة المفسدين} قبلكم بتكذيب رسلهم أي آخر أمرهم من الهلاك.

Said the eminent ones who were arrogant among his people, "We will surely evict you, O Shu'ayb, and those who have believed with you from our city, or you must return to our religion." He said, "Even if we were unwilling?"  

Said the council of those of his people who were disdainful, of believing: ‘Surely we will expel you, O Shu‘ayb, and those who believe with you, from our city, unless you return to our creed’, our religion (the plural person predominates over the singular in their address ˹to Shu‘ayb˺ because Shu‘ayb was never part of their religious community; and so in the same ˹plural˺ way he responded:) He said, ‘What, should we return to it, even though we are averse, to it? (the interrogative is meant as a disavowal).
القرآن:٧:٨٨ –

قَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكَ يَا شُعَيْبُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَكَ مِنْ قَرْيَتِنَا أَوْ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِي مِلَّتِنَا ۚ قَالَ أَوَلَوْ كُنَّا كَارِهِينَ  

{قال الملأ الذين استكبروا من قومه} عن الإيمان {لنخرجنك يا شعيب والذين آمنوا معك من قريتنا أو لتعودُن} ترجعن {في ملتنا} ديننا وغلبوا في الخطاب الجمع على الواحد لأن شعيبا لم يكن في ملتهم قط وعلى نحوه أجاب {قال أ} نعود فيها {ولو كنا كارهين} لها استفهام إنكار.
quran:7:89 –

We would have invented against Allah a lie if we returned to your religion after Allah had saved us from it. And it is not for us to return to it except that Allah, our Lord, should will. Our Lord has encompassed all things in knowledge. Upon Allah we have relied. Our Lord, decide between us and our people in truth, and You are the best of those who give decision."  

We would be forging a lie against God if we were to return to your creed, after God has delivered us from it. It is not, right, for us to return to it, unless God our Lord wills, that ˹it be so˺ and forsakes us. Our Lord embraces all things through His knowledge, that is to say, His knowledge embraces all things, including my situation and yours. In God we have put our trust. Our Lord, decide, adjudicate, between us and our people, for You are the best of deciders’, adjudicators.
القرآن:٧:٨٩ –

قَدِ افْتَرَيْنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا إِنْ عُدْنَا فِي مِلَّتِكُمْ بَعْدَ إِذْ نَجَّانَا اللَّهُ مِنْهَا ۚ وَمَا يَكُونُ لَنَا أَنْ نَعُودَ فِيهَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّنَا ۚ وَسِعَ رَبُّنَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا ۚ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا افْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْفَاتِحِينَ  

{قد افترينا على الله كذبا إن عدنا في ملَّتكم بعد إذ نجَّانا الله منها وما يكون} ينبغي {لنا أن نعود فيها إلا أن يشاء الله ربُّنا} ذلك فيخذلنا {وسع ربُّنا كلَّ شيء علما} أي وسع علمه كل شيء ومنه حالي وحالكم {على الله توكلنا ربنا افتح} احكم {بيننا وبين قومنا بالحق وأنت خير الفاتحين} الحاكمين.
quran:7:90 –

Said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people, "If you should follow Shu'ayb, indeed, you would then be losers."

{فأخذتهم الرجفة} الزلزلة الشديدة {فأصبحوا في دارهم جاثمين} باركين على الركب ميِّتين.
quran:7:92 –

Those who denied Shu'ayb - it was as though they had never resided there. Those who denied Shu'ayb - it was they who were the losers.  

Those who denied Shu‘ayb (alladhīna kadhdhabū Shu‘ayban, this constitutes the subject ˹of the sentence˺, the predicate of which is ˹introduced by the following ka-an, ‘as if’˺), it is as if (ka-an, has been softened, its subject omitted, in other words ˹understand it as˺ ka-annahum) they had never dwelt, ˹never˺ had residence, there, in those dwelling-places of theirs; those who denied Shu‘ayb, they were the losers (the emphasis effected by the repetition of the relative clause ˹alladhīna kadhdhabū Shu‘ayban, ‘those who denied Shu‘ayb’˺ and what follows it is intended as a refutation of what they had said previously ˹sc. ‘if you follow Shu‘ayb, you shall indeed be losers’˺).
القرآن:٧:٩٢ –

الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا شُعَيْبًا كَأَنْ لَمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيهَا ۚ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا شُعَيْبًا كَانُوا هُمُ الْخَاسِرِينَ  

{الذين كذَّبوا شعيبا} مبتدأ خبره {كأن} مخففة واسمها محذوف أي كأنهم {لم يَغنوا} يقيموا {فيها} في ديارهم {الذين كذَّبوا شعيبا كانوا هم الخاسرين} التأكيد بإعادة الموصول وغيره للرد عليهم في قولهم السابق.
quran:7:93 –

And he turned away from them and said, "O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the messages of my Lord and advised you, so how could I grieve for a disbelieving people?"  

So he turned back on them, and said, ‘O my people, I have conveyed to you the Messages of my Lord and advised you sincerely, but you believe not: so why should I grieve for a disbelieving people?’ (the interrogative is meant ˹rhetorically˺ as a negation).
القرآن:٧:٩٣ –

فَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ آسَىٰ عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ كَافِرِينَ  

{فتولى} أعرض {عنهم وقال يا قوم لقد أبلغتكم رسالات ربي ونصحت لكم} فلم تؤمنوا {فكيف آسى} أحزن {على قوم كافرين} استفهام بمعنى النفي.
quran:7:94 –

And We sent to no city a prophet ˹who was denied˺ except that We seized its people with poverty and hardship that they might humble themselves ˹to Allah˺.  

And We did not send a prophet to any city but that, when they denied him, We seized, We punished, its people with misery, abject poverty, and hardship, illness, so that they might be humble, ˹so that they might be˺ self-effaced, and so believe.
القرآن:٧:٩٤ –

وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا فِي قَرْيَةٍ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا أَخَذْنَا أَهْلَهَا بِالْبَأْسَاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَضَّرَّعُونَ  

{وما أرسلنا في قرية من نبي} فكذبوا {إلا أخذنا} عاقبنا {أهلها بالبأساء} شدة الفقر {والضرَّاء} المرض {لعلهم يضَّرَّعون} يتذللون فيؤمنون.
quran:7:95 –

Then We exchanged in place of the bad ˹condition˺, good, until they increased ˹and prospered˺ and said, "Our fathers ˹also˺ were touched with hardship and ease." So We seized them suddenly while they did not perceive.  

Then We gave them in place of evil, the chastisement, good, wealth and health, until they multiplied, and said, out of ingratitude towards this grace: ‘Hardship and happiness befell our fathers before’, just as it has befallen us, and this is nothing but the habit of time, and not the consequence of God, so remain firm in what you follow. God, exalted be He, says: So We seized them, with the chastisement, suddenly, while they perceived not, beforehand the time of its coming.
القرآن:٧:٩٥ –

ثُمَّ بَدَّلْنَا مَكَانَ السَّيِّئَةِ الْحَسَنَةَ حَتَّىٰ عَفَوْا وَقَالُوا قَدْ مَسَّ آبَاءَنَا الضَّرَّاءُ وَالسَّرَّاءُ فَأَخَذْنَاهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ  

{ثم بدَّلنا} أعطيناهم {مكان السيئة} العذاب {الحسنة} الغنى والصحة {حتى عفوا} كثروا {وقالوا} كفرا للنعمة {قد مس آباءنا الضرَّاء والسرَّاء} كما مسنا وهذه عادة الدهر وليست بعقوبة من الله فكونوا على ما أنتم عليه قال تعالى: {فأخذناهم} بالعذاب {بغتة} فجأة {وهم لا يشعرون} بوقت مجيئه قبله.
quran:7:96 –

And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allah, We would have opened upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied ˹the messengers˺, so We seized them for what they were earning."  

Yet had the people of the towns, the deniers, believed, in God and the messengers ˹sent˺ to them, and been fearful, of unbelief and acts of disobedience, We would have indeed opened upon them (read la-fatahnā or la-fattahnā) blessings from the heaven, by way of rain, and earth, by way of vegetation; but they denied, the messengers, and so We seized them, We punished them, on account of what they used to earn.
القرآن:٧:٩٦ –

وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْقُرَىٰ آمَنُوا وَاتَّقَوْا لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَرَكَاتٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَٰكِنْ كَذَّبُوا فَأَخَذْنَاهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ  

{ولو أنَّ أهل القرى} المكذَّبين {آمنوا} بالله ورسلهم {واتقوا} الكفر والمعاصي {لفتحنا} بالتخفيف والتشديد {عليهم بركات من السماء} بالمطر {والأرض} بالنبات {ولكن كذَّبوا} الرسل {فأخذناهم} عاقبناهم {بما كانوا يكسبون}.
quran:7:97 –

Then, did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them at night while they were asleep?  

Do the people of the towns, the deniers, feel secure from the coming of Our might, Our chastisement, upon them at night while they are sleeping?, unaware of it?
القرآن:٧:٩٧ –

أَفَأَمِنَ أَهْلُ الْقُرَىٰ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ بَأْسُنَا بَيَاتًا وَهُمْ نَائِمُونَ  

{أفأمن أهل القرى} المكذِّبون {أن يأتيهم بأسنا} عذابنا {بياتا} ليلا {وهم نائمون} غافلون عنه.
quran:7:98 –

Or did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them in the morning while they were at play?  

Or, do the people of the towns feel secure from the coming of Our might upon them in the daytime while they are playing?
القرآن:٧:٩٨ –

أَوَأَمِنَ أَهْلُ الْقُرَىٰ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ بَأْسُنَا ضُحًى وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ  

{أو أمن أهل القرى أن يأتيهم بأسنا ضحى} نهارا {وهم يلعبون}.
quran:7:99 –

Then did they feel secure from the plan of Allah? But no one feels secure from the plan of Allah except the losing people.  

And so do they feel secure from God’s plotting?, that is, His drawing them on by degrees, through graces, and then seizing them suddenly. None feels secure from God’s plotting but the people who are losers.
القرآن:٧:٩٩ –

أَفَأَمِنُوا مَكْرَ اللَّهِ ۚ فَلَا يَأْمَنُ مَكْرَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ  

{أفأمنوا مكر الله} استدراجه إياهم بالنعمة وأخذهم بغتة {فلا يأمن مكر الله إلا القوم الخاسرون}.
quran:7:100 –

Has it not become clear to those who inherited the earth after its ˹previous˺ people that if We willed, We could afflict them for their sins? But We seal over their hearts so they do not hear.  

Has it not been shown, ˹has it not˺ become clear, to those who inherit the earth, as a ˹place of˺ habitation, after, the destruction of, those who inhabited it that, (an is the softened form and constitutes the subject ˹of the verb˺, its noun having been omitted, in other words ˹understand it as˺ annahu), if We will, We could smite them, with chastisement, for their sins?, as We smote those before them? (the hamza in the four instances are meant to indicate rebuke, and the ˹particles˺ fa, ‘so’, and wa, ‘and’, which have been inserted in two instances ˹each˺, are meant to indicate a supplement; a variant reading ˹for a-wa-amina˺ has aw amina, ‘or do ˹they˺ feel secure’, in the ˹second˺ instance, as a supplement). And, We, seal up their hearts so that they do not hear, the admonition, in a way so as to reflect.
القرآن:٧:١٠٠ –

أَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لِلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الْأَرْضَ مِنْ بَعْدِ أَهْلِهَا أَنْ لَوْ نَشَاءُ أَصَبْنَاهُمْ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ ۚ وَنَطْبَعُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ  

{أو لم يهد} يتبيَّن {للذين يرثون الأرض} بالسكنى {من بعد} هلاك {أهلها أن} فاعل مخففة واسمها محذوف أي أنه {لو نشاء أصبناهم} بالعذاب {بذنوبهم} كما أصبنا من قبلهم. والهمزةُ في المواضع الأربعة للتوبيخ والفاء والواو الداخلة عليهما للعطف، وفي قراءة بسكون الواو في الموضع الأول عطفا بأو {و} نحن {نطبع} نختم {على قلوبهم فهم لا يسمعون} الموعظة سماع تدبر.
