7 - Al-A'raf

وَلَقَدْ اَخَذْنَاۗ اٰلَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِالسِّـنِيْنَ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الثَّمَرٰتِ لَعَلَّہُمْ يَذَّكَّـرُوْنَ۝۱۳۰
Walaqad akhathna ala firAAawna bialssineena wanaqsin mina alththamarati laAAallahum yaththakkaroona

English

Ahmed Ali

We afflicted the people of Pharaoh with famine and dearth of everything that they might take heed.

130

فَاِذَا جَاۗءَتْہُمُ الْحَسَـنَۃُ قَالُوْا لَنَا ہٰذِہٖ۝۰ۚ وَاِنْ تُصِبْہُمْ سَيِّئَۃٌ يَّطَّيَّرُوْا بِمُوْسٰي وَمَنْ مَّعَہٗ۝۰ۭ اَلَاۗ اِنَّمَا طٰۗىِٕرُہُمْ عِنْدَ اللہِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَہُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۱۳۱
Faitha jaathumu alhasanatu qaloo lana hathihi wain tusibhum sayyiatun yattayyaroo bimoosa waman maAAahu ala innama tairuhum AAinda Allahi walakinna aktharahum la yaAAlamoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Yet when good came their way they said: "It is our due;" but when misfortune befell them they put the omen down to Moses and those who were with him. But surely the omen was with God, yet most of them did not understand.

131

وَقَالُوْا مَہْمَا تَاْتِنَا بِہٖ مِنْ اٰيَۃٍ لِّتَسْحَرَنَا بِہَا۝۰ۙ فَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ ￀مِنِيْنَ۝۱۳۲
Waqaloo mahma tatina bihi min ayatin litasharana biha fama nahnu laka bimumineena

English

Ahmed Ali

They said: "Whatsoever the sign you have brought to deceive us, we shall not believe in you."

132

فَاَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْہِمُ الطُّوْفَانَ وَالْجَرَادَ وَالْقُمَّلَ وَالضَّفَادِعَ وَالدَّمَ اٰيٰتٍ مُّفَصَّلٰتٍ۝۰ۣ فَاسْـتَكْبَرُوْا وَكَانُوْا قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِيْنَ۝۱۳۳
Faarsalna AAalayhimu alttoofana waaljarada waalqummala waalddafadiAAa waalddama ayatin mufassalatin faistakbaroo wakanoo qawman mujrimeena

English

Ahmed Ali

So We let loose on them floods and locusts, and vermin, frogs and blood -- how many different signs. But they still remained arrogant, for they were a people full of sin.

133

وَلَمَّا وَقَعَ عَلَيْہِمُ الرِّجْزُ قَالُوْا يٰمُوْسَى ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَہِدَ عِنْدَكَ۝۰ۚ لَىِٕنْ كَشَفْتَ عَنَّا الرِّجْزَ لَنُؤْمِنَنَّ لَكَ وَلَنُرْسِلَنَّ مَعَكَ بَنِيْۗ اِسْرَاۗءِيْلَ۝۱۳۴ۚ
Walamma waqaAAa AAalayhimu alrrijzu qaloo ya moosa odAAu lana rabbaka bima AAahida AAindaka lain kashafta AAanna alrrijza lanuminanna laka walanursilanna maAAaka banee israeela

English

Ahmed Ali

Yet when punishment overtook them, they said: "O Moses, invoke your Lord for us as you have been enjoined. If the torment is removed, we shall certainly believe in you and let the people of Israel go with you."

134

فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْہُمُ الرِّجْزَ اِلٰۗي اَجَلٍ ہُمْ بٰلِغُوْہُ اِذَا ہُمْ يَنْكُثُوْنَ۝۱۳۵
Falamma kashafna AAanhumu alrrijza ila ajalin hum balighoohu itha hum yankuthoona

English

Ahmed Ali

But no sooner was the punishment withdrawn for a time to enable them to make good their promise than they broke it.

135

فَانْتَقَمْنَا مِنْہُمْ فَاَغْرَقْنٰہُمْ فِي الْيَمِّ بِاَنَّہُمْ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا وَكَانُوْا عَنْہَا غٰفِلِيْنَ۝۱۳۶
Faintaqamna minhum faaghraqnahum fee alyammi biannahum kaththaboo biayatina wakanoo AAanha ghafileena

English

Ahmed Ali

So We took vengeance on them, and drowned them in the sea for rejecting Our signs and not heeding them.

136

وَاَوْرَثْنَا الْقَوْمَ الَّذِيْنَ كَانُوْا يُسْتَضْعَفُوْنَ مَشَارِقَ الْاَرْضِ وَمَغَارِبَہَا الَّتِيْ بٰرَكْنَا فِيْہَا۝۰ۭ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ الْحُسْنٰى عَلٰي بَنِيْۗ اِسْرَاۗءِيْلَ۝۰ۥۙ بِمَا صَبَرُوْا۝۰ۭ وَدَمَّرْنَا مَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ فِرْعَوْنُ وَقَوْمُہٗ وَمَا كَانُوْا يَعْرِشُوْنَ۝۱۳۷
Waawrathna alqawma allatheena kanoo yustadAAafoona mashariqa alardi wamagharibaha allatee barakna feeha watammat kalimatu rabbika alhusna AAala banee israeela bima sabaroo wadammarna ma kana yasnaAAu firAAawnu waqawmuhu wama kanoo yaAArishoona

English

Ahmed Ali

We then made the people who were weak (and oppressed) successors of the land to the East and the West which We had blessed. Thus the fair promise of your Lord to the children of Israel was fulfilled, for they were patient in adversity; and whatsoever the Pharaoh and his people had fashioned, and the structures they had raised, were destroyed.

137

وَجٰوَزْنَا بِبَنِيْۗ اِسْرَاۗءِيْلَ الْبَحْرَ فَاَتَوْا عَلٰي قَوْمٍ يَّعْكُفُوْنَ عَلٰۗي اَصْنَامٍ لَّہُمْ۝۰ۚ قَالُوْا يٰمُوْسَى اجْعَلْ لَّنَاۗ اِلٰـہًا كَـمَا لَہُمْ اٰلِہَۃٌ۝۰ۭ قَالَ اِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْـہَلُوْنَ۝۱۳۸
Wajawazna bibanee israeela albahra faataw AAala qawmin yaAAkufoona AAala asnamin lahum qaloo ya moosa ijAAal lana ilahan kama lahum alihatun qala innakum qawmun tajhaloona

English

Ahmed Ali

When We brought the children of Israel across the sea, and they came to a people who were devoted to their idols, they said: "O Moses, make us also a god like theirs." "You are ignorant," he replied.

138

اِنَّ ہٰۗؤُلَاۗءِ مُتَبَّرٌ مَّا ہُمْ فِيْہِ وَبٰطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۱۳۹
Inna haolai mutabbarun ma hum feehi wabatilun ma kanoo yaAAmaloona

English

Ahmed Ali

"These people and their ways will surely be destroyed, for false is what they practise.
