SIPARA 8
 
SURA AL-ARAAF

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

  1. Alif, Lam, Mim, Sad.
  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.
  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.
  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.
  5. When (thus) our punishment took them, no cry did they utter but this "indeed we did wrong."
  6. Then shall We question those to whom Our message was sent and those by whom We sent it.
  7. And verily We shall recount their whole story with knowledge, for We were never absent (at any time or place).
  8. The balance that day will be true (to a nicety): those whose scale (of good) will be heavy, will prosper:
  9. Those whose scale will be light, will find their souls in perdition, for that they wrongfully treated our signs.
  10. It is We who have placed you with authority on earth, and provided you therein with means for the fulfillment of your life: Small are the thanks that ye give!
  11. It is We who created you and gave you shape; then We bade the angels bow down to Adam, and they bowed down; not so Iblis; he refused to be of those who bow down.
  12. (Allah) said: "what prevented thee from bowing down when I commanded thee?" He said: "I am better than he: Thou didst create me from fire and him from clay."
  13. (Allah) said: "Get thee down from this: It is not for thee to be arrogant here: Get out, for thou art of the meanest (of creatures)."
  14. He said: "give me respite till the day they are raised up."
  15. (Allah) said: "be thou among those who have respite."
  16. He said: "because Thou hast thrown me out of the way, lo! I will lie in wait for them on Thy straight way:"
  17. "Then will I assault them from before them and behind them from their right and their left: Nor wilt Thou find, in most of them, gratitude (for Thy mercies)."
  18. (Allah) said: "Get out from this, disgraced and expelled. If any of them follow thee, hell will I fill with you all."
  19. O Adam! dwell thou and thy wife in the garden, and enjoy (its good things) as ye wish: But approach not this tree, or ye run into harm and transgression."
  20. Then began satan to whisper suggestions to them, bringing openly before their minds all their shame that was hidden from them (before): He said "Your Lord only forbade you this tree, lest ye should become angels or such beings as live for ever."
  21. And he swore to them both, that he was their sincere adviser.
  22. So by deceit he brought about their fall: When they tasted of the tree, their shame became manifest to them, and they began to sew together the leaves of the garden over their bodies. And their Lord called unto them: "Did I not forbid you that tree, and tell you that satan was an avowed enemy unto you?"
  23. They said: "our Lord! we have wronged our own souls: If Thou forgive us not and bestow not upon us Thy mercy, we shall certainly be lost."
  24. (Allah) said: "Get ye down, with enmity between yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling-place and your means of livelihood, for a time."
  25. He said: "therein shall ye live, and therein shall ye die; but from it shall ye be taken out (at last)."
