A 'araaf (Al-A 'araaf)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ Alif. Lam. Mim. 1 (This is the) Book (the Quran) sent down unto you (O Muhammad SAW), so let not your breast be narrow therefrom, that you warn thereby, and a reminder unto the believers. 2 O mankind, follow what has been sent down to you from your Lord, and do not follow other administrators, abandoning this (the Holy Qur’an); very little do you understand. 3 How many a township We have destroyed! Our scourge fell upon them at night, or when they were taking midday rest. 4 Yet their cry, when Our punishment came to them, was nothing but that they said: Surely we were unjust. 5 Then verily We shall question those unto whom (Our message) hath been sent, and verily We shall question the messengers. 6 Then We shall narrate to them with knowledge the whole account. For surely, We were not away from them. 7 The weighing on that Day will be the true weighing: those whose scales are heavy will prosper. 8 And those whose (deeds) are lighter in the scale shall perish for violating Our signs. 9 We settled you on the earth, and provided means of livelihood for you in it; but little are the thanks you give. 10
