Al-A'raf 7:171 ۞ واذ نتقنا الجبل فوقهم كانه ظلة وظنوا انه واقع بهم خذوا ما اتيناكم بقوة واذكروا ما فيه لعلكم تتقون ١٧١

7:171
۞ وَإِذۡ
نَتَقۡنَا
ٱلۡجَبَلَ
فَوۡقَهُمۡ
كَأَنَّهُۥ
ظُلَّةٞ
وَظَنُّوٓاْ
أَنَّهُۥ
وَاقِعُۢ
بِهِمۡ
خُذُواْ
مَآ
ءَاتَيۡنَٰكُم
بِقُوَّةٖ
وَٱذۡكُرُواْ
مَا
فِيهِ
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
تَتَّقُونَ

Chapter 7, Page 173, Juz 9

169. Then they were succeeded by other generations who inherited the Scripture. They indulged in unlawful gains, claiming, “We will be forgiven ˹after all˺.” And if similar gain came their way, they would seize it. Was a covenant not taken from them in the Scripture that they would not say anything about Allah except the truth? And they were already well-versed in its teachings. But the ˹eternal˺ Home of the Hereafter is far better for those mindful ˹of Allah˺. Will you not then understand? 170. As for those who firmly abide by the Scripture and establish prayer—surely We never discount the reward of those acting righteously. 171. And ˹remember˺ when We raised the mountain over them as if it were a cloud and they thought it would fall on them. ˹We said,˺ “Hold firmly to that ˹Scripture˺ which We have given you and observe its teachings so perhaps you will become mindful ˹of Allah˺.”
