|@ The questioning of the unbelieving nations of jinn and humans on the Day of Judgement and their witnessing against themselves 6:130
6:130 ‘Jinn and human, did there not come to you Messengers of your own who narrated to you My verses and warned you of encountering this Day?’ They will reply, ‘We bear witness against ourselves.’ Indeed, the life of this world beguiled them. They will bear witness against themselves that they were unbelievers.
# يَا مَعْشَرَ الجِنِّ وَالإِنسِ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِي وَيُنذِرُونَكُمْ لِقَاءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا قَالُوا شَهِدْنَا عَلَى أَنفُسِنَا وَغَرَّتْهُمُ الحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا وَشَهِدُوا عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كَافِرِينَ 130
6:131 That is because your Lord will not destroy villages unjustly, while their inhabitants were inattentive.
# ذَلِكَ أَن لَّمْ يَكُن رَّبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ القُرَى بِظُلْمٍ وَأَهْلُهَا غَافِلُونَ 131
6:132 They all have their degrees according to their deeds. Your Lord is not inattentive of their actions.

|@ All or nothing for Allah 6:136
6:136 They set aside for Allah a share of what He has created of tilth and cattle saying, ‘This is for Allah so they claim and this for our associates (gods).’ The share of their associates never reaches Allah, but the share of Allah reaches their associates. How evil they judge!
# وَجَعَلُوا لِلَّهِ مِمَّا ذَرَأَ مِنَ الحَرْثِ وَالأَنْعَامِ نَصِيباً فَقَالُوا هَذَا لِلَّهِ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَهَذَا لِشُرَكَائِنَا فَمَا كَانَ لِشُرَكَائِهِمْ فَلاَ يَصِلُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ فَهُوَ يَصِلُ إِلَى شُرَكَائِهِمْ سَاءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ 136
|@ Confusion of the unbelievers 6:137
6:137 As such their associates made it attractive to the idolaters to kill their children so that they ruin them and confuse them about their religion. But had Allah willed, they would not have done so. Therefore, leave them to their false inventions.
# وَكَذَلِكَ زَيَّنَ لِكَثِيرٍ مِّنَ المُشْرِكِينَ قَتْلَ أَوْلادِهِمْ شُرَكَاؤُهُمْ لِيُرْدُوَهُمْ وَلِيَلْبِسُوا عَلَيْهِمْ دِينَهُمْ وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا فَعَلُوهُ فَذَرْهُمْ وَمَا يَفْتَرُونَ 137
|@ Hardship imposed upon the Jews because they lied about the provision of Allah 6:138-140
6:138 They say, ‘These cattle, and these crops are forbidden. None can eat of them except those whom we permit’ so they claim, ‘and cattle whose backs are forbidden, and others over which they do not pronounce the Name of Allah.’ As such fabricating lies against Him. He will recompense them for their invented lies.
# وَقَالُوا هَذِهِ أَنْعَامٌ وَحَرْثٌ حِجْرٌ لاَّ يَطْعَمُهَا إِلاَّ مَن نَّشَاءُ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَأَنْعَامٌ حُرِّمَتْ ظُهُورُهَا وَأَنْعَامٌ لاَ يَذْكُرُونَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا افْتِرَاءً عَلَيْهِ سَيَجْزِيهِم بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ 138
6:139 They also say, ‘What is in the bellies (wombs) of these cattle is reserved for our males but not for our wives.’ But if it is stillborn, they all partake of it. He will recompense them for their describing. He is Wise, Knowing.
# وَقَالُوا مَا فِي بُطُونِ هَذِهِ الأَنْعَامِ خَالِصَةٌ لِّذُكُورِنَا وَمُحَرَّمٌ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِنَا وَإِن يَكُن مَّيْتَةً فَهُمْ فِيهِ شُرَكَاءُ سَيَجْزِيهِمْ وَصْفَهُمْ إِنَّهُ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ 139
6:140 Lost are those who, without knowledge, have foolishly slain their own children and made unlawful that which Allah has provided them, fabricating lies about Allah. They have gone astray and are not guided.
# قَدْ خَسِرَ الَّذِينَ قَتَلُوا أَوْلادَهُمْ سَفَهاً بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَحَرَّمُوا مَا رَزَقَهُمُ اللَّهُ افْتِرَاءً عَلَى اللَّهِ قَدْ ضَلُّوا وَمَا كَانُوا مُهْتَدِينَ 140
|@ The mercy of Allah. Do not be wasteful 6:141
6:141 He brings forth gardens, trellised and untrellised, palm-trees and crops, different to eat, and the olive and pomegranates alike and unlike. When it bears fruit eat of it and pay what is due (the zakat) of it upon the harvest day. But do not be wasteful; He does not love the wasteful.

|@ Know satan, your open enemy 6:142
6:142 And of the cattle, some are for carrying burdens, and others for slaughter. Eat of that which Allah has provided you with and do not follow in satan’s footsteps; he is your open enemy.

|@ The self-imposed dietary restriction of the Jews 6:143-146
6:143 (He has given you) eight couples, a pair of sheep and a pair of goats. Say, ‘Of these, has He forbidden you the males, the females, or what the wombs of the two females contain? Tell me with knowledge, if you are truthful.’
# ثَمَانِيَةَ أَزْوَاجٍ مِّنَ الضَّأْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَمِنَ المَعْزِ اثْنَيْنِ قُلْ آلذَّكَرَيْنِ حَرَّمَ أَمِ الأُنثَيَيْنِ أَمَّا اشْتَمَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ أَرْحَامُ الأُنثَيَيْنِ نَبِّئُونِي بِعِلْمٍ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ 143
6:144 Then a pair of camels and a pair of cattle. Say, ‘Of these, has He forbidden you the males, the females, or what the wombs of the two females contain? Were you witnesses when Allah charged you with this? Who is more harmful than he who, without knowledge, invents a lie about Allah to mislead people? Allah does not guide the harm doers.’
# وَمِنَ الإِبِلِ اثْنَيْنِ وَمِنَ البَقَرِ اثْنَيْنِ قُلْ آلذَّكَرَيْنِ حَرَّمَ أَمِ الأُنثَيَيْنِ أَمَّا اشْتَمَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ أَرْحَامُ الأُنْثَيَيْنِ أَمْ كُنتُمْ شُهَدَاءَ إِذْ وَصَّاكُمُ اللَّهُ بِهَذَا فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِباً لِّيُضِـلَّ النَّاسَ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَهْدِي القَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ 144
6:145 Say, ‘I find nothing in what has been revealed to me that forbids any one to eat of any food except the dead, running blood, and the flesh of swine for these are unclean and that which has been hallowed in its slaughter to other than Allah. But whoever is constrained to eat of any of these, not intending to sin or transgress, then your Lord is Forgiving, the Most Merciful.’
# قُل لاَّ أَجِدُ فِي مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ مُحَرَّماً عَلَى طَاعِمٍ يَطْعَمُهُ إِلاَّ أَن يَكُونَ مَيْتَةً أَوْ دَماً مَّسْفُوحاً أَوْ لَحْمَ خِنزِيرٍ فَإِنَّهُ رِجْسٌ أَوْ فِسْقاً أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ بِهِ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلاَ عَادٍ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ 145
6:146 We forbade the Jews all with undivided hoofs and the fat of sheep and cattle, except what is on their backs and entrails, and what is mixed with their bones. As such We recompensed them for their transgressions. Indeed, We are truthful.

6:148 The idolaters will say, ‘Had Allah willed, neither we nor our fathers would have associated (idols), nor would we have forbidden anything.’ As such, those who have gone before them belied until they tasted Our Might. Say, ‘Have you any knowledge you can bring forth to us? You follow nothing but guessing and you are only speakers of conjecture.’

6:157 Or (you say), ‘Had the Book been sent down to us, we would have been better guided than they.’ Indeed a clear sign has now come to you from your Lord; a guidance and a mercy. And who is more harmful than he who belies the verses of Allah and turns away from them! We shall recompense those who turn away from Our verses with an evil punishment for their turning away.

7:11 We created you then We shaped you, then We said to the angels, ‘Prostrate yourselves before Adam.’ They all prostrated themselves except iblis (satan, the father of jinn) he was not among the prostrated.
# وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ ثُمَّ صَوَّرْنَاكُمْ ثُمَّ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلاَّ إِبْلِيسَ لَمْ يَكُن مِّنَ السَّاجِدِينَ 11
7:12 He (Allah) asked, ‘What prevented you to prostrate, when I commanded you?’ ‘I am better than he,’ he (iblis) replied. ‘You created me of fire and You created him (Adam) of clay.’
# قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلاَّ تَسْجُدَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَ قَالَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِي مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِن طِينٍ 12
7:13 He (Allah) said, ‘Descend from it! This is no place for you to be proud. Begone, you are of the humiliated.’
# قَالَ فَاهْبِطْ مِنْهَا فَمَا يَكُونُ لَكَ أَن تَتَكَبَّرَ فِيهَا فَاخْرُجْ إِنَّكَ مِنَ الصَّاغِرِينَ 13
7:14 he (iblis) replied, ‘Respite me till the Day of Resurrection.’
# قَالَ أَنظِرْنِي إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ 14
7:15 Said He (Allah), ‘you are among the respited,’

7:20 But satan whispered to them, so that he might reveal to them their shameful parts which had been hidden from them, he said, ‘Your Lord has prohibited you from this tree lest you both become angels or become among the immortal.’
# فَوَسْوَسَ لَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ لِيُبْدِيَ لَهُمَا مَا وُورِيَ عَنْهُمَا مِن سَوْءَاتِهِمَا وَقَالَ مَا نَهَاكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنْ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ إِلاَّ أَن تَكُونَا مَلَكَيْنِ أَوْ تَكُونَا مِنَ الخَالِدِينَ 20
7:21 he (satan) swore to both, ‘Indeed, I am to you among the advisers.’
# وَقَاسَمَهُمَا إِنِّي لَكُمَا لَمِنَ النَّاصِحِينَ 21
7:22 So he (satan) cheated both by delusion. And when they had tasted the tree, their shameful parts became apparent to them, and they both covered themselves with the leaves of Paradise. (Then) their Lord called to them, saying, ‘Did I not prohibit you to approach that tree, and did I not warn you that satan was your clear enemy?’

7:27 Children of Adam! Do not let satan tempt you, as he brought your parents out of Paradise. He stripped them of their garments to show them their shameful parts. Indeed he and his descendants see you from where you cannot see them. We have made the satans supporters of those who do not believe.

7:38 He will say, ‘Enter the Fire and join the nations of jinn and humans that have gone before you.’ As they enter, every nation will curse its sister-nation, and when all are gathered in the pit, the last of them will say of the first, ‘These, Lord, are those who led us astray. Give them a double punishment of the Fire. He will answer, ‘For each double, although you do not know it.’

# وَالْبَلَدُ الطَّيِّبُ يَخْرُجُ نَبَاتُهُ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِ وَالَّذِي خَبُثَ لاَ يَخْرُجُ إِلاَّ نَكِداً كَذَلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ الآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَشْكُرُونَ 58
|@ The story of Prophet Noah 7:59-64
7:59 We sent forth Noah to his nation. He said, ‘Worship Allah, my people for you have no god except He. I fear for you the punishment of a great Day.’
# لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحاً إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرُهُ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ 59
7:60 But the assembly of his nation said, ‘We can see that you are in clear error.’
# قَالَ المَلأُ مِن قَوْمِهِ إِنَّا لَنَرَاكَ فِي ضَلالٍ مُّبِينٍ 60
7:61 ‘I am not in error, my nation,’ he replied. ‘I am a Messenger from the Lord of the Worlds
# قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَيْسَ بِي ضَلالَةٌ وَلَكِنِّي رَسُولٌ مِّن رَّبِّ العَالَمِينَ 61
7:62 (sent) to convey to you the messages of my Lord and to advise you, for I know from Allah what you do not know.
# أُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَالاتِ رَبِّي وَأَنصَحُ لَكُمْ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ 62
7:63 Do you wonder that a Remembrance should come to you from your Lord to a man from yourselves in order that he may warn you and that you may be cautious so that mercy comes upon you?’
# أَوَ عَجِبْتُمْ أَن جَاءَكُمْ ذِكْرٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِّنكُمْ لِيُنذِرَكُمْ وَلِتَتَّقُوا وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ 63
7:64 (But) they belied him, so We saved him and those who were with him in the Ark, and We drowned those who belied Our verses. Surely, they were a blind nation.
# فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ فِي الفُلْكِ وَأَغْرَقْنَا الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْماً عَمِينَ 64
|@ The story of Prophet Hood 7:65-69
7:65 And to (the people of) Aad We sent their brother, Hood. He said, ‘Worship Allah, my nation, for you have no god except He. Will you not then be cautious?’
# وَإِلَى عَادٍ أَخَاهُمْ هُوداً قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرُهُ أَفَلاَ تَتَّقُونَ 65
7:66 The disbelieving assembly of his nation said, ‘We see you in foolishness, and think that you are of the liars.’
# قَالَ المَلأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن قَوْمِهِ إِنَّا لَنَرَاكَ فِي سَفَاهَةٍ وَإِنَّا لَنَظُنُّكَ مِنَ الكَاذِبِينَ 66
7:67 ‘My nation, there is no foolishness in me,’ he replied. ‘I am a Messenger of the Lord of the Worlds
# قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَيْسَ بِي سَفَاهَةٌ وَلَكِنِّي رَسُولٌ مِّن رَّبِّ العَالَمِينَ 67
7:68 I deliver to you the messages of my Lord and I am your honest adviser.
# أُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَالاتِ رَبِّي وَأَنَا لَكُمْ نَاصِحٌ أَمِينٌ 68
7:69 Do you wonder that a remembrance should come to you from your Lord to a man from yourselves in order that he may warn you? Remember, that He has made you the heirs of Noah’s nation and increased you in broad stature, remember the favors of Allah in order that you prosper!’
# أَوَ عَجِبْتُمْ أَن جَاءَكُمْ ذِكْرٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِّنكُمْ لِيُنذِرَكُمْ وَاذْكُرُوا إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ مِنْ بَعْدِ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَزَادَكُمْ فِي الخَلْقِ بَصْطَةً فَاذْكُرُوا آلاءَ اللَّهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ 69
|@ Contempt of the unbelievers of Aad 7:70-71
7:70 They said, ‘Have you come to us in order that we worship Allah alone and renounce that which our fathers worshipped? Bring down that with which you threaten us if you are from the truthful!’
# قَالُوا أَجِئْتَنَا لِنَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ وَحْدَهُ وَنَذَرَ مَا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَا إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ 70
7:71 He answered, ‘The punishment and wrath of your Lord has already fallen upon you. Would you dispute with me about names which you and your fathers have invented, and for which no authority has been sent down from Allah? Wait if you will, I am waiting with you.’
# قَالَ قَدْ وَقَعَ عَلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ رِجْسٌ وَغَضَبٌ أَتُجَادِلُونَنِي فِي أَسْمَاءٍ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَا أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُم مَّا نَزَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَانٍ فَانتَظِرُوا إِنِّي مَعَكُم مِّنَ المُنتَظِرِينَ 71
|@ The mercy of Allah to Prophet Hood and his followers 7:72
7:72 We saved him (Prophet Hood) and all who were with him through Our Mercy and annihilated those who belied Our verses. They were not believers!
# فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَقَطَعْنَا دَابِرَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَمَا كَانُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ 72
|@ The story of Prophet Salih 7:73-75
7:73 And to Thamood We sent their brother Salih. He said, ‘Worship Allah, my nation, for you have no god except He. A clear proof has come to you from your Lord. Here is the she-camel of Allah, a sign for you. Leave her to graze in the earth of Allah and do not touch her with evil, lest a painful punishment seizes you.
# وَإِلَى ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَالِحاً قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرُهُ قَدْ جَاءَتْكُم بَيِّنَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ هَذِهِ نَاقَةُ اللَّهِ لَكُمْ آيَةً فَذَرُوهَا تَأْكُلْ فِي أَرْضِ اللَّهِ وَلاَ تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ 73
7:74 Remember, that He has made you the successor of Aad, and lodged you in the land. You have built palaces on its plains and hewed out houses in the mountains. Remember the favor of Allah and do not act mischievously in the earth, corrupting.’
# وَاذْكُرُوا إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ مِنْ بَعْدِ عَادٍ وَبَوَّأَكُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِن سُهُولِهَا قُصُوراً وَتَنْحِتُونَ الجِبَالَ بُيُوتاً فَاذْكُرُوا آلاءَ اللَّهِ وَلاَ تَعْثَوْا فِي الأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ 74
7:75 The proud assembly of his nation said to the weak amongst them who believed, ‘Do you really believe that Salih is sent from his Lord?’ They answered, ‘We believe in that with which he was sent.’
# قَالَ المَلأُ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا مِن قَوْمِهِ لِلَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا لِمَنْ آمَنَ مِنْهُمْ أَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ صَالِحاً مُّرْسَلٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ قَالُوا إِنَّا بِمَا أُرْسِلَ بِهِ مُؤْمِنُونَ 75
|@ The people of Aad had no love for sincere advisors who tried to lead them to Allah 7:76-79
7:76 Those who were proud said, ‘We disbelieve in that which you believed in.’
# قَالَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا إِنَّا بِالَّذِي آمَنتُم بِهِ كَافِرُونَ 76
7:77 (Then) they hamstrung the she-camel and defied the order of their Lord, saying to Salih, ‘Bring down that which you have promised us if you truly are one of the Messengers.’
# فَعَقَرُوا النَّاقَةَ وَعَتَوْا عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ وَقَالُوا يَا صَالِحُ ائْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَا إِن كُنتَ مِنَ المُرْسَلِينَ 77
7:78 Thereupon the earthquake seized them, at morning in their dwellings they were crouched, dead.
# فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَأَصْبَحُوا فِي دَارِهِمْ جَاثِمِينَ 78
7:79 He turned from them, saying, ‘I conveyed to you, my nation the Message of my Lord and gave you counsel; but you had no love for sincere advisers.’
# فَتَوَلَّى عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّي وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ وَلَكِن لاَّ تُحِبُّونَ النَّاصِحِينَ 79
|@ Prophet Lot; sodomy 7:80-84
7:80 And Lot, who said to his nation, ‘Do you commit such indecency (sodomy) in a way that no one has preceded you in the worlds?
# وَلُوطاً إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَتَأْتُونَ الفَاحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنَ العَالَمِينَ 80
7:81 You approach men lustfully instead of women. Truly, you are a nation who exceed (in sin).’
# إِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ الرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّن دُونِ النِّسَاءِ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّسْرِفُونَ 81
7:82 The only answer of his nation was, ‘Expel them from your village. They are people who keep themselves purified.’
# وَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِ إِلاَّ أَن قَالُوا أَخْرِجُوهُم مِّن قَرْيَتِكُمْ إِنَّهُمْ أُنَاسٌ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ 82
7:83 We saved him and all his family, except his wife, who was made to remain,
# فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ إِلاَّ امْرَأَتَهُ كَانَتْ مِنَ الغَابِرِينَ 83
7:84 and We rained down upon them a rain. So look how was the end of the evildoers.

|@ Prophet Shu’aib; fair trading 7:85-93
7:85 And to Midian, their brother Shu’aib. He said, ‘Worship Allah, my nation, for you have no god except He. A clear sign has come to you from your Lord. Give just weight, and full measure; and do not diminish the goods of people. Do not corrupt the land after it has been set right, that is best for you, if you are believers.
# وَإِلَى مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْباً قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرُهُ قَدْ جَاءَتْكُم بَيِّنَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ فَأَوْفُوا الكَيْلَ وَالْمِيزَانَ وَلاَ تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءَهُمْ وَلاَ تُفْسِدُوا فِي الأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلاحِهَا ذَلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ 85
7:86 Do not sit in every road, threatening and barring from the Path of Allah those who believed it, nor seek to make it crooked. Remember how He multiplied you when you were few in number. Consider the end of the corrupters.
# وَلاَ تَقْعُدُوا بِكُلِّ صِرَاطٍ تُوعِدُونَ وَتَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِهِ وَتَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجاً وَاذْكُرُوا إِذْ كُنتُمْ قَلِيلاً فَكَثَّرَكُمْ وَانظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ المُفْسِدِينَ 86
7:87 If there are some among you who believe in that which I have been sent and others who disbelieve it, be patient until Allah shall judge between us. He is the best of judges.’
# وَإِن كَانَ طَائِفَةٌ مِّنكُمْ آمَنُوا بِالَّذِي أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ وَطَائِفَةٌ لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُوا فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى يَحْكُمَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَنَا وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الحَاكِمِينَ 87
|@ The contempt of the unbelievers of Midian 7:88
7:88 The proud assembly of his nation said, ‘We will expel you Shu’aib and those who believe with you from our village unless you return to our creed.’ He replied, ‘Even though we hate it?
# قَالَ المَلأُ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا مِن قَوْمِهِ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكَ يَا شُعَيْبُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَكَ مِن قَرْيَتِنَا أَوْ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِي مِلَّتِنَا قَالَ أَوَ لَوْ كُنَّا كَارِهِينَ 88
7:89 We would have invented lies about Allah if we returned to your creed from which Allah has saved us, it is not for us that we return into it again except if Allah, our Lord wills. For our Lord has embraced everything with knowledge, and in Allah we have put our trust. Our Lord, open between us and our nation with truth, You are the Best of openers.’
# قَدِ افْتَرَيْنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِباً إِنْ عُدْنَا فِي مِلَّتِكُم بَعْدَ إِذْ نَجَّانَا اللَّهُ مِنْهَا وَمَا يَكُونُ لَنَا أَن نَّعُودَ فِيهَا إِلاَّ أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّنَا وَسِعَ رَبُّنَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عِلْماً عَلَى اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا رَبَّنَا افْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الفَاتِحِينَ 89
7:90 But the unbelieving assembly of his nation said, ‘If you follow Shu’aib, you shall assuredly be losers.’
# وَقَالَ المَلأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن قَوْمِهِ لَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتُمْ شُعَيْباً إِنَّكُمْ إِذاً لَّخَاسِرُونَ 90
7:91 So the earthquake seized them, at the morning they were crouched in their dwellings, dead.
# فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَأَصْبَحُوا فِي دَارِهِمْ جَاثِمِينَ 91
7:92 It seemed as if those who had belied Shu’aib had never lived there. Those who belied Shu’aib were the losers.
# الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا شُعَيْباً كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيهَا الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا شُعَيْباً كَانُوا هُمُ الخَاسِرِينَ 92
7:93 He turned away from them saying, ‘I conveyed to you, my nation, the messages of my Lord and advised you. How can I grieve for the unbelieving nation?’
# فَتَوَلَّى عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَالاتِ رَبِّي وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ فَكَيْفَ آسَى عَلَى قَوْمٍ كَافِرِينَ 93

7:94 We sent no Prophet to a village but seized its inhabitants with misfortune and adversity in order that they might be humble in supplication.

7:95 Then We changed evil for good, until they multiplied and said, ‘Our fathers were indeed touched by misfortune and adversity.’ So We seized them suddenly while they were unaware.
# ثُمَّ بَدَّلْنَا مَكَانَ السَّيِّئَةِ الحَسَنَةَ حَتَّى عَفَوْا وَقَالُوا قَدْ مَسَّ آبَاءَنَا الضَّرَّاءُ وَالسَّرَّاءُ فَأَخَذْنَاهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لاَ يَشْعُرُونَ 95
7:96 Had the people of the villages believed and been cautious, We would have opened upon them the blessings from heaven and earth. But they belied, and We seized them for what they earned.

# أَوَ أَمِنَ أَهْلُ القُرَى أَن يَأْتِيَهُم بَأْسُنَا ضُحًى وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ 98

# أَفَأَمِنُوا مَكْرَ اللَّهِ فَلاَ يَأْمَنُ مَكْرَ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ القَوْمُ الخَاسِرُونَ 99
