M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:2
كِتَـٰبٌ
أُنزِلَ
إِلَيْكَ
فَلَا
يَكُن
فِى
صَدْرِكَ
حَرَجٌۭ
مِّنْهُ
لِتُنذِرَ
بِهِۦ
وَذِكْرَىٰ
لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
This Book has been sent down to you [Prophet]––let there be no anxiety in your heart because of it––so that you may use it to give warning and to remind the believers:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:3
ٱتَّبِعُوا۟
مَآ
أُنزِلَ
إِلَيْكُم
مِّن
رَّبِّكُمْ
وَلَا
تَتَّبِعُوا۟
مِن
دُونِهِۦٓ
أَوْلِيَآءَ ۗ
قَلِيلًۭا
مَّا
تَذَكَّرُونَ
‘Follow what has been sent down to you from your Lord; do not follow other masters beside Him. How seldom you take heed!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:4
وَكَم
مِّن
قَرْيَةٍ
أَهْلَكْنَـٰهَا
فَجَآءَهَا
بَأْسُنَا
بَيَـٰتًا
أَوْ
هُمْ
قَآئِلُونَ
How many towns We have destroyed! Our punishment came to them by night or while they slept in the afternoon:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:5
فَمَا
كَانَ
دَعْوَىٰهُمْ
إِذْ
جَآءَهُم
بَأْسُنَآ
إِلَّآ
أَن
قَالُوٓا۟
إِنَّا
كُنَّا
ظَـٰلِمِينَ
their only cry when Our punishment came to them was, ‘How wrong we were!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:6
فَلَنَسْـَٔلَنَّ
ٱلَّذِينَ
أُرْسِلَ
إِلَيْهِمْ
وَلَنَسْـَٔلَنَّ
ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
ﱿ
We shall certainly question those to whom messengers were sent–– and We shall question the messengers themselves––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:7
فَلَنَقُصَّنَّ
عَلَيْهِم
بِعِلْمٍۢ ۖ
وَمَا
كُنَّا
غَآئِبِينَ
and, with full knowledge, for We were never far from them, We shall tell them what they did.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:8
وَٱلْوَزْنُ
يَوْمَئِذٍ
ٱلْحَقُّ ۚ
فَمَن
ثَقُلَتْ
مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ
هُمُ
ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ
On that Day the weighing of deeds will be true and just: those whose good deeds are heavy on the scales will be the ones to prosper,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:9
وَمَنْ
خَفَّتْ
مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ
ٱلَّذِينَ
خَسِرُوٓا۟
أَنفُسَهُم
بِمَا
كَانُوا۟
بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا
يَظْلِمُونَ
and those whose good deeds are light will be the ones who have lost their souls through their wrongful rejection of Our messages.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:10
وَلَقَدْ
مَكَّنَّـٰكُمْ
فِى
ٱلْأَرْضِ
وَجَعَلْنَا
لَكُمْ
فِيهَا
مَعَـٰيِشَ ۗ
قَلِيلًۭا
مَّا
تَشْكُرُونَ
We established you [people] on the earth and provided you with a means of livelihood there––small thanks you give!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:11
وَلَقَدْ
خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ
ثُمَّ
صَوَّرْنَـٰكُمْ
ثُمَّ
قُلْنَا
لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ
ٱسْجُدُوا۟
لِـَٔادَمَ
فَسَجَدُوٓا۟
إِلَّآ
إِبْلِيسَ
لَمْ
يَكُن
مِّنَ
ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ
We created you, We gave you shape, and then We said to the angels, ‘Bow down before Adam,’ and they did. But not Iblis: he was not one of those who bowed down.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:12
قَالَ
مَا
مَنَعَكَ
أَلَّا
تَسْجُدَ
إِذْ
أَمَرْتُكَ ۖ
قَالَ
أَنَا۠
خَيْرٌۭ
مِّنْهُ
خَلَقْتَنِى
مِن
نَّارٍۢ
وَخَلَقْتَهُۥ
مِن
طِينٍۢ
God said, ‘What prevented you from bowing down as I commanded you?’ and he said, ‘I am better than him: You created me from fire and him from clay.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:13
قَالَ
فَٱهْبِطْ
مِنْهَا
فَمَا
يَكُونُ
لَكَ
أَن
تَتَكَبَّرَ
فِيهَا
فَٱخْرُجْ
إِنَّكَ
مِنَ
ٱلصَّـٰغِرِينَ
God said, ‘Get down from here! This is no place for your arrogance. Get out! You are contemptible!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:14
قَالَ
أَنظِرْنِىٓ
إِلَىٰ
يَوْمِ
يُبْعَثُونَ
but Iblis said, ‘Give me respite until the Day people are raised from the dead,’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:15
قَالَ
إِنَّكَ
مِنَ
ٱلْمُنظَرِينَ
and God replied, ‘You have respite.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:16
قَالَ
فَبِمَآ
أَغْوَيْتَنِى
لَأَقْعُدَنَّ
لَهُمْ
صِرَٰطَكَ
ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ
And then Iblis said, ‘Because You have put me in the wrong, I will lie in wait for them all on Your straight path:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:17
ثُمَّ
لَـَٔاتِيَنَّهُم
مِّنۢ
بَيْنِ
أَيْدِيهِمْ
وَمِنْ
خَلْفِهِمْ
وَعَنْ
أَيْمَـٰنِهِمْ
وَعَن
شَمَآئِلِهِمْ ۖ
وَلَا
تَجِدُ
أَكْثَرَهُمْ
شَـٰكِرِينَ
I will come at them- from their front and their back, from their right and their left- and You will find that most of them are ungrateful.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:18
قَالَ
ٱخْرُجْ
مِنْهَا
مَذْءُومًۭا
مَّدْحُورًۭا ۖ
لَّمَن
تَبِعَكَ
مِنْهُمْ
لَأَمْلَأَنَّ
جَهَنَّمَ
مِنكُمْ
أَجْمَعِينَ
God said, ‘Get out! You are disgraced and banished! I swear I shall fill Hell with you and all who follow you!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:19
وَيَـٰٓـَٔادَمُ
ٱسْكُنْ
أَنتَ
وَزَوْجُكَ
ٱلْجَنَّةَ
فَكُلَا
مِنْ
حَيْثُ
شِئْتُمَا
وَلَا
تَقْرَبَا
هَـٰذِهِ
ٱلشَّجَرَةَ
فَتَكُونَا
مِنَ
ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
But you and your wife, Adam, live in the Garden. Both of you eat whatever you like, but do not go near this tree or you will become wrongdoers.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

7:20
فَوَسْوَسَ
لَهُمَا
ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ
لِيُبْدِىَ
لَهُمَا
مَا
وُۥرِىَ
عَنْهُمَا
مِن
سَوْءَٰتِهِمَا
وَقَالَ
مَا
نَهَىٰكُمَا
رَبُّكُمَا
عَنْ
هَـٰذِهِ
ٱلشَّجَرَةِ
إِلَّآ
أَن
تَكُونَا
مَلَكَيْنِ
أَوْ
تَكُونَا
مِنَ
ٱلْخَـٰلِدِينَ
Satan whispered to them so as to expose their nakedness, which had been hidden from them: he said, ‘Your Lord only forbade you this tree to prevent you becoming angels or immortals,’
