M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
About Surah Al-A'raf
Described by the Prophet (ﷺ) as "the longer of the two long ones," this 206-verse late Makkan address overturns the polytheism of the Quraysh. It carries titles reflecting its specific markers: Sūrat al-Mīqāt for the appointment of Moses, and Sūrat al-Mīthāq for the primordial covenant. Its primary name, Al-A'raf, refers to "The Heights," as it is the sole chapter to name the unique inhabitants of this realm.
The text opens with the creation of Adam and the origins of Satan's enmity. It then moves to vivid scenes of the Resurrection, contrasting the fates of the wicked, the pious, and the People of the Heights. From there, the focus shifts to the struggles of earlier Messengers, dedicating an extensive section to Moses and the Israelites that includes glad tidings of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
As the historical accounts conclude, the address exposes the powerlessness of the Arabs' idols. The final verses ground this sweeping timeline into immediate directives, commanding the Muslims to maintain patience, continue their call to God, and seek refuge from the devil through remembrance.

The Heights Meccan
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
كِتَٰبٌ
أُنزِلَ
إِلَيۡكَ
فَلَا
يَكُن
فِي
صَدۡرِكَ
حَرَجٞ
مِّنۡهُ
لِتُنذِرَ
بِهِۦ
وَذِكۡرَىٰ
لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
٢
This Book has been sent down to you [Prophet]––let there be no anxiety in your heart because of it––so that you may use it to give warning and to remind the believers:
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
ٱتَّبِعُواْ
مَآ
أُنزِلَ
إِلَيۡكُم
مِّن
رَّبِّكُمۡ
وَلَا
تَتَّبِعُواْ
مِن
دُونِهِۦٓ
أَوۡلِيَآءَۗ
قَلِيلٗا
مَّا
تَذَكَّرُونَ
٣
‘Follow what has been sent down to you from your Lord; do not follow other masters beside Him. How seldom you take heed!’
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
وَكَم
مِّن
قَرۡيَةٍ
أَهۡلَكۡنَٰهَا
فَجَآءَهَا
بَأۡسُنَا
بَيَٰتًا
أَوۡ
هُمۡ
قَآئِلُونَ
٤
How many towns We have destroyed! Our punishment came to them by night or while they slept in the afternoon:
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
فَمَا
كَانَ
دَعۡوَىٰهُمۡ
إِذۡ
جَآءَهُم
بَأۡسُنَآ
إِلَّآ
أَن
قَالُوٓاْ
إِنَّا
كُنَّا
ظَٰلِمِينَ
٥
their only cry when Our punishment came to them was, ‘How wrong we were!’
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
فَلَنَسۡـَٔلَنَّ
ٱلَّذِينَ
أُرۡسِلَ
إِلَيۡهِمۡ
وَلَنَسۡـَٔلَنَّ
ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
٦
We shall certainly question those to whom messengers were sent–– and We shall question the messengers themselves––
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
فَلَنَقُصَّنَّ
عَلَيۡهِم
بِعِلۡمٖۖ
وَمَا
كُنَّا
غَآئِبِينَ
٧
and, with full knowledge, for We were never far from them, We shall tell them what they did.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
وَٱلۡوَزۡنُ
يَوۡمَئِذٍ
ٱلۡحَقُّۚ
فَمَن
ثَقُلَتۡ
مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ
هُمُ
ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ
٨
On that Day the weighing of deeds will be true and just: those whose good deeds are heavy on the scales will be the ones to prosper,
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
وَمَنۡ
خَفَّتۡ
مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ
ٱلَّذِينَ
خَسِرُوٓاْ
أَنفُسَهُم
بِمَا
كَانُواْ
بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا
يَظۡلِمُونَ
٩
and those whose good deeds are light will be the ones who have lost their souls through their wrongful rejection of Our messages.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
وَلَقَدۡ
مَكَّنَّٰكُمۡ
فِي
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
وَجَعَلۡنَا
لَكُمۡ
فِيهَا
مَعَٰيِشَۗ
قَلِيلٗا
مَّا
تَشۡكُرُونَ
١٠
We established you [people] on the earth and provided you with a means of livelihood there––small thanks you give!
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
وَلَقَدۡ
خَلَقۡنَٰكُمۡ
ثُمَّ
صَوَّرۡنَٰكُمۡ
ثُمَّ
قُلۡنَا
لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ
ٱسۡجُدُواْ
لِأٓدَمَ
فَسَجَدُوٓاْ
إِلَّآ
إِبۡلِيسَ
لَمۡ
يَكُن
مِّنَ
ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ
١١
We created you, We gave you shape, and then We said to the angels, ‘Bow down before Adam,’ and they did. But not Iblis: he was not one of those who bowed down.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
قَالَ
مَا
مَنَعَكَ
أَلَّا
تَسۡجُدَ
إِذۡ
أَمَرۡتُكَۖ
قَالَ
أَنَا۠
خَيۡرٞ
مِّنۡهُ
خَلَقۡتَنِي
مِن
نَّارٖ
وَخَلَقۡتَهُۥ
مِن
طِينٖ
١٢
God said, ‘What prevented you from bowing down as I commanded you?’ and he said, ‘I am better than him: You created me from fire and him from clay.’
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
قَالَ
فَٱهۡبِطۡ
مِنۡهَا
فَمَا
يَكُونُ
لَكَ
أَن
تَتَكَبَّرَ
فِيهَا
فَٱخۡرُجۡ
إِنَّكَ
مِنَ
ٱلصَّٰغِرِينَ
١٣
God said, ‘Get down from here! This is no place for your arrogance. Get out! You are contemptible!’
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
قَالَ
أَنظِرۡنِيٓ
إِلَىٰ
يَوۡمِ
يُبۡعَثُونَ
١٤
but Iblis said, ‘Give me respite until the Day people are raised from the dead,’
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
قَالَ
إِنَّكَ
مِنَ
ٱلۡمُنظَرِينَ
١٥
and God replied, ‘You have respite.’
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
قَالَ
فَبِمَآ
أَغۡوَيۡتَنِي
لَأَقۡعُدَنَّ
لَهُمۡ
صِرَٰطَكَ
ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ
١٦
And then Iblis said, ‘Because You have put me in the wrong, I will lie in wait for them all on Your straight path:
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
ثُمَّ
لَأٓتِيَنَّهُم
مِّنۢ
بَيۡنِ
أَيۡدِيهِمۡ
وَمِنۡ
خَلۡفِهِمۡ
وَعَنۡ
أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ
وَعَن
شَمَآئِلِهِمۡۖ
وَلَا
تَجِدُ
أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ
شَٰكِرِينَ
١٧
I will come at them- from their front and their back, from their right and their left- and You will find that most of them are ungrateful.’
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
قَالَ
ٱخۡرُجۡ
مِنۡهَا
مَذۡءُومٗا
مَّدۡحُورٗاۖ
لَّمَن
تَبِعَكَ
مِنۡهُمۡ
لَأَمۡلَأَنَّ
جَهَنَّمَ
مِنكُمۡ
أَجۡمَعِينَ
١٨
God said, ‘Get out! You are disgraced and banished! I swear I shall fill Hell with you and all who follow you!
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
وَيَٰٓـَٔادَمُ
ٱسۡكُنۡ
أَنتَ
وَزَوۡجُكَ
ٱلۡجَنَّةَ
فَكُلَا
مِنۡ
حَيۡثُ
شِئۡتُمَا
وَلَا
تَقۡرَبَا
هَٰذِهِ
ٱلشَّجَرَةَ
فَتَكُونَا
مِنَ
ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
١٩
But you and your wife, Adam, live in the Garden. Both of you eat whatever you like, but do not go near this tree or you will become wrongdoers.’
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
فَوَسۡوَسَ
لَهُمَا
ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ
لِيُبۡدِيَ
لَهُمَا
مَا
وُۥرِيَ
عَنۡهُمَا
مِن
سَوۡءَٰتِهِمَا
وَقَالَ
مَا
نَهَىٰكُمَا
رَبُّكُمَا
عَنۡ
هَٰذِهِ
ٱلشَّجَرَةِ
إِلَّآ
أَن
تَكُونَا
مَلَكَيۡنِ
أَوۡ
تَكُونَا
مِنَ
ٱلۡخَٰلِدِينَ
٢٠
Satan whispered to them so as to expose their nakedness, which had been hidden from them: he said, ‘Your Lord only forbade you this tree to prevent you becoming angels or immortals,’
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
