Quran 7:48~51

June 13, 2023
Those on the heights will call out to some ˹tyrants in the Fire˺, who they will recognize by their appearance, saying, “Your large numbers and arrogance are of no use ˹today˺! Are these ˹humble believers˺ the ones you swore would never be shown Allah’s mercy?” ˹Finally, those on the heights will be told:˺ “Enter Paradise! There is no fear for you, nor will you grieve.” The residents of the Fire will then cry out to the residents of Paradise, “Aid us with some water or any provision Allah has granted you.” They will reply, “Allah has forbidden both to the disbelievers, those who took this faith ˹of Islam˺ as mere amusement and play and were deluded by ˹their˺ worldly life.” ˹Allah will say,˺ “Today We will ignore them just as they ignored the coming of this Day of theirs and for rejecting Our revelations.” Quran 7:48~51
The Surah is named after the story of the men awaiting on the “Elevations” between Paradise and Hell.

وَنَادَىٰۤ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡأَعۡرَافِ رِجَالࣰا یَعۡرِفُونَهُم بِسِیمَىٰهُمۡ قَالُوا۟ مَاۤ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنكُمۡ جَمۡعُكُمۡ وَمَا كُنتُمۡ تَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ أَهَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ ٱلَّذِینَ أَقۡسَمۡتُمۡ لَا یَنَالُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِرَحۡمَةٍۚ ٱدۡخُلُوا۟ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ لَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَیۡكُمۡ وَلَاۤ أَنتُمۡ تَحۡزَنُونَ وَنَادَىٰۤ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ أَصۡحَـٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ أَنۡ أَفِیضُوا۟ عَلَیۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمَاۤءِ أَوۡ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُۚ قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ حَرَّمَهُمَا عَلَى ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِینَ ٱلَّذِینَ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ دِینَهُمۡ لَهۡوࣰا وَلَعِبࣰا وَغَرَّتۡهُمُ ٱلۡحَیَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡیَاۚ فَٱلۡیَوۡمَ نَنسَىٰهُمۡ كَمَا نَسُوا۟ لِقَاۤءَ یَوۡمِهِمۡ هَـٰذَا وَمَا كَانُوا۟ بِءَایَـٰتِنَا یَجۡحَدُونَ
The basic theme of this Surah is Risalah, i.e. Allah’s message as it was sent through many messengers. Several Prophets and parts of their stories are mentioned to emphasize Prophets’ mission and their struggle with their people.
The Surah tells us that Allah’s Prophets suffered for the cause of truth.
Their enemies tried to harm them, but then Allah helped his prophets and defeated their enemies.
The Surah emphasizes that the true message must be presented under all circumstances.
After the Prophets it is the duty of the Believers to convey the message of Allah to all people.
اور اہل اعراف (کافر) لوگوں کو جنہیں ان کی صورتوں سے شناخت کرتے ہوں گے پکاریں گے اور کہیں گے (کہ آج) نہ تو تمہاری جماعت ہی تمہارے کچھ کام آئی اور نہ تمہارا تکبّر (ہی سودمند ہوا) (پھر مومنوں کی طرف اشارہ کر کے کہیں گے) کیا یہ وہی لوگ ہیں جن کے بارے میں تم قسمیں کھایا کرتے تھے کہ خدا اپنی رحمت سے ان کی دستگیری نہیں کرے گا (تو مومنو) تم بہشت میں داخل ہو جاؤ تمہیں کچھ خوف نہیں اور نہ تم کو کچھ رنج واندوہ ہوگا اور وہ دوزخی بہشتیوں سے (گڑگڑا کر) کہیں گے کہ کسی قدر ہم پر پانی بہاؤ یا جو رزق خدا نے تمہیں عنایت فرمایا ہے ان میں سے (کچھ ہمیں بھی دو) وہ جواب دیں گے کہ خدا نے بہشت کا پانی اور رزق کافروں پر حرام کر دیا ہے جنہوں نے اپنے دین کو تماشا اور کھیل بنا رکھا تھا اور دنیا کی زندگی نے ان کو دھوکے میں ڈال رکھا تھا۔ تو جس طرح یہ لوگ اس دن کے آنے کو بھولے ہوئے اور ہماری آیتوں سے منکر ہو رہے تھے۔ اسی طرح آج ہم بھی انہیں بھلا دیں گے
