MORE TESTS FOR THE PEOPLE OF MUSA
167And 'remember', 'O Prophet,' when your Lord declared that He would send against them others who would make them suffer terribly until Judgment Day.
Surely your Lord is quick in punishment, but He is truly Forgiving and Merciful.
168We split them up throughout the land in groups—some were faithful and others were less so.
And We tested them with good and bad times, so perhaps they would return to the 'Right Path'.
169Then after them came 'evil' generations that were given the Book.
They took forbidden gains, saying, 'We will be forgiven anyway.
' And whenever similar gains came their way, they would grab them.
Was a pledge not taken from them in the Book—that they would not say anything about Allah except the truth and they studied its teachings very well?
But the 'eternal' Home of the Next Life is far better for those who keep Allah in mind.
Will you not then understand?
170As for those who hold on to the Book firmly and pray salah, surely We never waste the reward of those who do what is right.
171And 'remember' when We raised the mountain over them—as if it was a cloud—and they thought it was going to fall on them.
'We said,' 'Stick to this 'Book' We have given you and follow its teachings, so perhaps you will guard against evil.

Once upon a time, a farmer found an egg in an abandoned eagle's nest.
He took the egg back to his farm and put it in the nest of one of his chickens.
Eventually, the egg hatched, and the baby eagle grew up copying the other chickens blindly.
The eagle spent half of his life in the coop and the other half in the yard, behaving like a chicken and never looking up.
One day, when the eagle became old, he finally lifted up his head and saw something amazing-a young eagle soaring in the sky.
With tears in his eyes, the old eagle said to himself, 'I wish I had been born an eagle!
' Just like the eagle in this story, many people copy others blindly.
Even though Allah created them to worship Him alone, they choose to follow others who worship gods of their own making.
This is something they will deeply regret on Judgment Day.

Someone may ask, 'If humans are born with belief in Allah coded in their nature, how come many people worship other gods or no god at all?
' This is a very important question.
Let's consider the following points: According to verse 172, Allah has created people with a pure nature, ready to believe in Him and accept Him as their Lord.
The Prophet said that every child is born Muslim, already submitting to their Creator.
However, parents corrupt this pure nature, so kids start copying and following the beliefs of their parents blindly.

If you look at the map of the world, you will realize that most people follow certain faiths, mainly because of their geographical locations.
So, let's say, if Mr.
X was born in India, he would most likely be Hindu, like most people around him.
If he was born in Thailand, he would likely be Buddhist.
If he was born in Romania he would likely be Christian.
The same is true for most people of other faiths.

Historically, many people made up their own objects of worship because they couldn't believe in a God they weren't able to see.
This is why they put human faces on God (like Jesus), animal faces (like many of the gods in ancient Egypt), and so on.
Even today, there are millions of highly-educated people who deny God's existence, arguing that they can only believe in things they can experience with their 5 senses.
However, we all believe certain things actually exist even without seeing them, such as the mind, oxygen, gravity, and radio waves.
We know for sure that our great-great-grandparents existed even if we didn't see them.

To prove that there is no need for a creator, some are willing to believe that life just randomly popped into existence on its own and then evolved
into modern-day creatures.
To say that something created itself before it even existed is like saying that a mother gave birth to herself!
Things have to be created by something else.
Some people claim that humans and apes share the same ancestor or that we evolved from some other creatures.
However, the fact that everything in the universe is well-designed and perfectly created is a proof that there is a Master Designer and Creator.
For example, the human eye is much more advanced than any camera in the world.
If it's impossible to think that a camera has no designer, it's even more impossible to think that the human eye has no designer.
Also, if someone believes that the incredible human body is just a bunch of random cells with no designer or creator, then the Eiffel Tower is a bunch
of metal, the Great Wall of China is a bunch of rocks, and the Mona Lisa is a bunch of paint!

It's the year 2075.
Two robots named DT and YZ are debating where robots came from.
While YZ believes everyone was created as a robot, DT argues that robots evolved from wireless computer mice.
Even though the maker left a manual explaining the design and function of robots, still DT insists that he knows himself better and that he has no maker.
As to how wireless mice came into being, DT says that there is strong scientific evidence that mice evolved from pencil cases, and pencil cases evolved from chewing
gum that popped into existence.

It was the day of the long-awaited debate between an imam and an atheist on the existence of God.
The debate was scheduled for 11am, so the atheist arrived a few minutes earlier, along with a big audience.
However, the imam was late.
The atheist made a joke to the crowd, saying that the imam probably couldn't come up with a good argument for God's existence so he ran away.
After 15 minutes, the imam arrived and apologized for being late.
He told the audience that he had to wait for a boat to cross the river and come to the debate, but he couldn't find any boats around.
Suddenly, a thunderbolt hit a big tree, causing it to split into long planks.
Then the wind blew, lining the planks up.
And some screws fell down and tied the planks together.
Therefore, a nice boat was made out of nowhere, and then he used it to cross the river.
The atheist argued, 'This doesn't make sense.
There is no way that a boat could make itself.
' The imam responded, 'This is exactly my point.
If a little boat can't create itself, then it's impossible for this incredible universe to exist without a creator-Allah.

HUMANS' NATURAL FAITH IN ALLAH
172And 'remember', 'O Prophet,' when your Lord produced from the seeds of the Children of Adam their little ones and inspired them to believe in Him as their
only Lord and they confirmed this fact 'by their nature.
' Now, they have no right to say on Judgment Day, 'We didn't know about this.
'
173And they cannot say, 'It was our fathers who first worshipped other gods, and we children just copied them.
Are you going to destroy us for their false practices?
'
174This is how We make our lessons clear, so perhaps they will return to the 'Right Path'.
وَإِذۡ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنۢ بَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمۡ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمۡ وَأَشۡهَدَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ أَلَسۡتُ بِرَبِّكُمۡۖ قَالُواْ بَلَىٰ شَهِدۡنَآۚ أَن تَقُولُواْ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنۡ هَٰذَا غَٰفِلِينَ172
أَوۡ تَقُولُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أَشۡرَكَ ءَابَآؤُنَا مِن قَبۡلُ وَكُنَّا ذُرِّيَّةٗ مِّنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡۖ أَفَتُهۡلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ ٱلۡمُبۡطِلُونَ173
وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ وَلَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ174
THE MISGUIDED SCHOLAR
175And tell them 'O Prophet' the story of the man We blessed with Our lessons, but he abandoned them, so Satan took hold of him, and he became
misguided.
176If We wanted, We could have easily honoured him with these lessons, but he got attached to this life and followed his 'evil' desires.
He was just like a dog: it sticks its tongue out whether you chase it away or leave it alone.
This is the example of the people who reject Our lessons.
So tell 'them' such stories, so perhaps they will reflect.
177What an evil example of those who rejected Our lessons!
They 'only' wronged their own souls.
178Whoever Allah guides is truly guided.
And whoever He leaves to stray, they are the 'true' losers.
179We have created many jinn and humans who are bound for Hell—they have hearts that fail to understand, eyes that fail to see, and ears that fail to
hear.
They are like cattle.
In fact, they are even less guided!
Such people are totally careless.
وَٱتۡلُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ ٱلَّذِيٓ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ ءَايَٰتِنَا فَٱنسَلَخَ مِنۡهَا فَأَتۡبَعَهُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡغَاوِينَ175

WARNING TO THE MAKKANS
180Allah has the Most Beautiful Names, so use them to call upon Him.
And keep away from those who abuse His Names.
They will be paid back for what they do.
181And there are some people among Our creation who guide with the truth, and with it they judge fairly.
182As for those who deny Our signs, We will trap them little by little in ways they cannot imagine.
183I 'only' delay their end for a while, but My planning is perfect.
184Haven't they ever given it a thought?
Their 'fellow man' is not insane.
He is only sent with a clear warning.
185Have they ever reflected on the wonders of the heavens and the earth and everything Allah has created, and that perhaps their end is near?
So what message 'after this Qur'an' would they believe in?
186Whoever Allah allows to stray, none can guide—leaving them to wander blindly in their wickedness.
187They ask you 'O Prophet' about the Hour 'of Judgment', 'When will it be?
' Say, 'That knowledge is only with my Lord.
He alone will reveal it when the time comes.
It is too overwhelming for the heavens and the earth, and will only take you by surprise.
' They ask you as if you had full knowledge of it.
Say again, 'Only Allah knows its time, but most people do not know 'this fact.
'
188Say, 'I have no power to benefit or protect myself, except by Allah's permission.
If I had known the unknown, I would have certainly profited a lot, and no harm would have ever touched me.
I am only sent to give warnings to those who disbelieve' and good news to those who believe.

قُل لَّآ أَمۡلِكُ لِنَفۡسِي نَفۡعٗا وَلَا ضَرًّا إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ وَلَوۡ كُنتُ أَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبَ لَٱسۡتَكۡثَرۡتُ مِنَ ٱلۡخَيۡرِ وَمَا مَسَّنِيَ ٱلسُّوٓءُۚ إِنۡ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٞ وَبَشِيرٞ لِّقَوۡمٖ يُؤۡمِنُونَ188
ALLAH OR POWERLESS IDOLS?
189He is the One Who created you all from a single soul, then from it He made its mate so he could find comfort in her.
Later, when a husband and a wife come together, she carries a light burden that develops over time.
When it grows heavy, they both pray to Allah, their Lord, 'If you give us a good child, we will really be grateful.
'
190But when He blesses 'those idol-worshippers' with good children, they give credit to false gods for His gift.
Allah is honoured high above whatever 'gods' they make equal to Him.
191Do they make 'those idols' equal to Allah, even though they cannot create anything but are in fact created,
192and even though they cannot help them or even help themselves?
193And if you 'idol-worshippers' call upon them for guidance, they cannot respond to you.
It is all the same whether you call them or keep quiet.
194Those 'idols' you call besides Allah are created like yourselves.
So call upon them and see if they will answer you, if your claims are true!
195Do they have feet to walk with?
Or hands to hold with?
Or eyes to see with?
Or ears to hear with?
196Say, 'O Prophet, 'Call upon your false gods and make plans against me without delay!
Indeed, my Protector is Allah Who has revealed this Book, and He 'alone' protects the faithful.
197But those 'false gods' you call besides Him cannot help you or even themselves.
'
198Again, if you call upon them for guidance, they cannot hear.
And you may see them facing towards you, but they cannot see.

This symbol u (which we see at the end of verse 206 in Arabic) marks the first of 15 places in the Quran where the reader should bow
down (or go into sajdah) and say: 'I bow my face to the One Who created and formed it and gave it the ability to hear and see
with His power and strength.
So.
blessed is Allah, the Best of Creators' (Imam Al-Hakim)
ADVICE TO THE PROPHET
199Be kind, encourage what is right, and turn away from those who act foolishly.
200If Satan tries to whisper to you, then seek protection in Allah.
Surely He hears and knows 'everything'.
201Indeed, when Satan whispers to the faithful, they remember 'their Lord', then they start to see things clearly.
202But the devils keep misguiding their 'human' partners, never taking a break.
203If you 'O Prophet' do not bring them a sign 'which they demanded', they ask, 'Why don't you make it yourself?
' Say, 'I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord.
This 'Qur'an' is an eye-opener from your Lord—a guide and a mercy for those who believe.
'
204When the Qur'an is recited, listen to it carefully and be quiet, so you 'believers' may be shown mercy.
205Remember your Lord 'O Prophet' privately—with humility and awe, without raising your voice—both morning and evening.
And do not be one of the careless.
206Indeed, those 'angels' closest to your Lord are not too proud to worship Him.
They praise Him.
And to Him they bow down.

How to study Surah Al-A'râf with children
Use this children's lesson as a guided path: read the short explanation, look at the Arabic verse, listen to related recitation, and return to the full surah when your child is ready for more detail.
Parents can review one section at a time, ask the child to repeat the main idea, and then continue with the next part or a nearby surah. This keeps the lesson connected with Quran reading, audio, and daily practice.
