Al-A'raf (The Heights)

  1. Alif Lam Min Sad

  2. The Qu'uran is send down to believers. Do not let anxiety into your heart regarding it. It shall warn the disbelievers, and shall remind the believers.

  3. Follow what has been sent to you, and do not take others as your guidance. Be mindful!

  4. Imagine how many societies beyond this land that We have destroyed. Our torment took them by surprise while sleeping at night or noon. Imagine the surprises we have displayed on this land, night or noon.

  5. Their cries were nothing but to finally accept that they were wrongdoers.

  6. We will surely question and test those who received my messengers, and we will question the messengers themselves.

  7. Then We will give them a full account that we were never absent in humanity's upbringing.

  8. The result on that day will be firm. As for those whose scale will be heavy with good deeds shall be successful.

  9. But those whose scale is light, they have doomed themselves for wrongly denying the duty of being good.

  10. We have indeed established on Earth and provided means of livelihood. Yet, many seldom give any thanks to Us or to the land that grows beneath them.

  11. Sure this land has created you, shaped you, just as have have created and shaped Prophets and Messengers, such as Y'Adim.

  12. Y'Allah I created of fire, and Y'Adim of clay.

  13. The Paradise is not for the arrogant, for they are a disgrace.

  14. There will be no delay for their punishment, even if it means banishment from the Paradise.

  15. I shall appoint each convert with a messenger who shall show them the way.

  16. But if you choose to be left astray, I shall ambush you from the path, you are not worthy.

  17. From the front, the back, the right, and the left, you are ungrateful for the messenger that chose you.

  18. And your judgement shall be met with the words of disappointment, "Get out of my sight, you are disgraced and rejected."

  19. I tested the Paradise with the first people. I gave them the choice of understanding and free will, with the promise that I will not use my abilities to pre-see their choices. I commanded them, "live at peace and eat what you please, but do not approach that tree. The tree is unable to produce a fruit, and so it is useless to you, I command you to avoid it."

  20. The temptation of the woman to find something out of nothing was strong and shameful. She knew the tree had nothing for her, and yet she wanted to know more. She told to her husband, "The tree is forbidden but what if there is something hidden?"

  21. He looked away and said to her, "Our God would never betray us."

  22. She walked away towards the tree and touched it. I froze the air and said to them, "Did I not forbid you from that tree?"

  23. She declared she had wronged herself and begged for forgiveness.

  24. "You will find the Earth is a residence of disappointment and betrayal, you belong there."

  25. And so on, reflect of the woman on this land you call Earth. There you live, there you die, and there you can be resurrected, but a woman's need to never believe, will drive her body into ashes.

  26. Banins of this land, mine and far, cover your nakedness for onlooking eyes. The woman shall be spiteful of your body and nakedness. Your body is bounty, protect it.

  27. Do not be tempted like the woman. Always cover your body unless it is for the eyes of your solider. Surely your solider will watch something they have never seen before. Beauty beyond compare, attraction that locks their mind in a trance, and an addiction beyond disbelief.

  28. If any forceful acts of shameful deeds are committed, you have authority to defend yourself. If they were to reply that they know that their forefathers have done it under the command of Y'Allah, say "NO," for Y'Allah would never command what is shameful. How can you attribute to Y'Allah what you do not know?

  29. Your God has commanded uprightness and dedication to him alone in worship. Call upon him with sincere devotion, just as he first did when he brought you into being, and you will be brought into again.

  30. We have guided some, while others are destined to stray. They have taken devils as their master's instead of Y'Allah, thinking they are rightly guided. I think not.

  31. Dress properly whenever you are at worship. Eat and drink, but do not dare waste! I do not like the wasteful.

  32. Our revelations are clear for people of knowledge. Your adornments and lawful provisions brought to you by Y'Allah are for your enjoyment in this wordily life and they will exclusively be yours on the Day of Judgement.

  33. We only forbid open and secret indecencies, sinfulness, unjust aggression, associating others with Y'Allah in worship, practices he has never authorized, and attributing to Y'Allah what you do not know.

  34. Every group has their appointed term. When their time arrives, they can neither delay it nor reject it. Nor can they advance this time.

  35. When messengers form among yourself to say that they are reciting my revelations, take note that whoever shuns evil and mends their ways, there is no fear for them nor grieve.

  36. But those who receive Our revelations with denial and arrogance will be the residents of the Fire. They will be there as long as the Universe lives.

  37. I ask, who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Us or deny Y'Allah's revelations? They will receive what is destined for them, until our messenger angels arrive to take their souls, asking them where their false Gods are? They surely will do nothing but cry and say that their Gods have forsaken and failed them. They will confess against themselves that they were indeed disbelievers and instead believers of man.

  38. They shall enter the fire along with the evil groups of failed Gods and humans that preceded before them. Whenever a group enters the fire, it will curse the ones there before them until they are all gathered inside, the followers will look for their leaders. Instead, they will multiply the flame.

  39. And so, the leaders will turn their backs to their followers and cry that their followers are no better than them. Together they shall taste the torment for what they used to commit.

  40. Surely those who receive Our revelations with denial and arrogance, the gates of Jannah will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel passed through the eye of a needle. This is how We reward the wicked.

  41. Jahannam will be their bed, and the flames will be their blanket. This is how we reward the wrongdoers.

  42. And as for those who believe and do good, we never require of any soul more than what it can afford. It is they who will be residents of Jannah. They will be there for as long as the Universe lives.

  43. We will remove whatever bitterness they may have in their hearts. Rivers will flow under their feet. And they will say praises to Y'Allah for guiding them to this. Knowing they would not have been guided if Y'Allah had not guided them. The messengers of I had certainly come with the truth. It will be announced to them that this Paradise is awarded to them for what they used to do.

  44. The residents of Jannah will call out to the residents of Jahannam. They will brag with pride that their Lord's paradise, the promised place, truly is real. And the wrongdoers, in bitterness will say "me too." And for every lie, an announcement will condemn them and raise the temperature.

  45. For those who hindered others away from Y'Allah, or strived to make it appear crooked and disbelieved in the Hereafter, shall continue to burn.
