Tafsir of Surah Al-A’raf Ayat 1-15
(The Heights) Chapter – 7 Which was revealed in Makkah
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
{1. Alif-Lam-Mim-Sad.
2. (This is the) Book (the Qur’an) sent down unto you, so let not your breast be narrow therefrom, that you warn thereby; and a reminder unto the believers.
3. Follow what has been sent down unto you from your Lord, and follow not any Awliya’ (protectors), besides Him (Allah). Little do you remember!}
{4. And a great number of towns We destroyed. Our torment came upon them by night or while they were taking their midday nap.
5. No cry did they utter when Our torment came upon them but this: “Verily, we were wrongdoers.”
6. Then surely, We shall question those (people) to whom it was sent and verily, We shall question the Messengers.
7. Then surely, We shall narrate unto them (their whole story) with knowledge, and indeed We have not been absent.}
{8. And the weighing on that Day will be the true (weighing). So, as for those whose scale (of good deeds) will be heavy, they will be the successful (by entering Paradise).
9. And as for those whose scale will be light, they are those who will lose themselves for their wrongful behavior with Our Ayat.}
{10. And surely, We gave you authority on the earth and appointed for you therein livelihoods. Little thanks do you give.}
{11. And surely, We created you and then gave you shape; then We told the angels, “Prostrate yourselves to Adam,” and they prostrated, except Iblis (Shaytan), he refused to be of those who prostrated.}
{12. (Allah) said: “What prevented you (O Iblis) that you did not prostrate, when I commanded you” Iblis said: “I am better than him (Adam), You created me from fire, and him You created from clay.”}
{13. (Allah) said: “(O Iblis) get down from this (Paradise), it is not for you to be arrogant here. Get out, for you are of those humiliated and disgraced.”
14. (Iblis) said: “Allow me respite till the Day they are raised up (the Day of Resurrection).”
15. (Allah) said: “You are of those respited.”

Tafsir of Surah Al-A’raf Ayat 73-102
(The Heights) Chapter – 7 Which was revealed in Makkah
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
{73. And to Thamud (people, We sent) their brother Salih. He said: “O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other god but Him. Indeed there has come to you a clear sign from your Lord. This she-camel of Allah is a sign unto you; so you leave her to graze in Allah’s earth, and touch her not with harm, lest a painful torment should seize you.
74. And remember when He made you successors (generations) after Ad and gave you habitations in the land, you build for yourselves palaces in plains, and carve out homes in the mountains. So remember the graces (bestowed upon you) from Allah, and do not go about making mischief on the earth.
75. The leaders of those who were arrogant among his people said to those who were counted weak — to such of them as believed: “Know you that Salih is one sent from his Lord.” They said: “We indeed believe in that with which he has been sent.”
76. Those who were arrogant said: “Verily, we disbelieve in that which you believe in.”
77. So they killed the she-camel and insolently defied the commandment of their Lord, and said: “O Salih! Bring about your threats if you are indeed one of the Messengers (of Allah).”
78. So the earthquake seized them, and they lay (dead), prostrate in their homes.}
{79. Then he [Salih] turned from them, and said: “O my people! I have indeed conveyed to you the Message of my Lord, and have given you good advice, but you like not good advisers.”}
{80. And (remember) Lut, when he said to his people: “Do you commit lewdness such as none preceding you has committed in all of the nations?
81. “Verily, you practice your lusts on men instead of women. Nay, but you are a people transgressing beyond bounds.”}
{82. And the answer of his people was only that they said: “Drive them out of your town, these are indeed men who want to be pure (from sins)!”}
{83. Then We saved him and his family, except his wife; she was of the Ghabirin (those who lagged behind).
84. And We rained down on them a rain (of stones). Then see what was the end of the criminals.}
{85. And to (the people of) Madyan, (We sent) their brother Shuayb. He said: “O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other God but Him. Verily, a clear proof (sign) from your Lord has come unto you; so give full measure and full weight and wrong not men in their things, and do not do mischief on the earth after it has been set in order, that will be better for you, if you are believers.}
{86. “And sit not on every road, threatening, and hindering from the path of Allah those who believe in Him, and seeking to make it crooked. And remember when you were but few, and He multiplied you. And see what was the end of the mischief-makers.
