Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Al-A'raf 7:100

Word by word

أَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لِلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ أَهْلِهَآ أَن لَّوْ نَشَآءُ أَصَبْنَـٰهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمْ ۚ وَنَطْبَعُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ

Has it not become clear to those who inherited the earth after its [previous] people that if We willed, We could afflict them for their sins? But We seal over their hearts so they do not hear.

أوَ لم يتبين للذين سكنوا الأرض من بعد إهلاك أهلها السابقين بسبب معاصيهم، فساروا سيرتهم، أن لو نشاء أصبناهم بسبب ذنوبهم كما فعلنا بأسلافهم، ونختم على قلوبهم، فلا يدخلها الحق، ولا يسمعون موعظة ولا تذكيرًا؟
