AL-ARAF (THE HEIGHTS) : 1-10

AL-ARAF (THE HEIGHTS) : 1-10

7: 1. Alif, Lam, Mim, Sad.
7: 2. A Book revealed unto thee,- So let thy heart be oppressed no more by any difficulty on that account,- that with it thou mightest warn (the erring) and teach the Believers).
7: 3. Follow (O men!) the revelation given unto you from your Lord, and follow not, as friends or protectors, other than Him. Little it is ye remember of admonition.

7: 4. How many towns have We destroyed (for their sins)? Our punishment took them on a sudden by night or while they slept for their afternoon rest.
7: 5. When (thus) Our punishment took them, no cry did they utter but this: "Indeed we did wrong."
7: 6. Then shall we question those to whom Our message was sent and those by whom We sent it.

7: 7. And verily, We shall recount their whole story with knowledge, for We were never absent (at any time or place).
7: 8. The balance that day will be true (to nicety): those whose scale (of good) will be heavy, will prosper:
7: 9. Those whose scale will be light, will be their souls in perdition, for that they wrongfully treated Our signs.

7:10. It is We Who have placed you with authority on earth, and provided you therein with means for the fulfilment of your life: small are the thanks that ye give!
