قُلْ Say یٰۤاَیُّهَا O النَّاسُ mankind اِنِّیْ Indeed I am رَسُوْلُ (the) Messenger اللّٰهِ (of) Allah اِلَیْكُمْ to you جَمِیْعَا all لَّذِیْ the One لَهٗ for Whom مُلْكُ (is the) dominion السَّمٰوٰتِ (of) the heavens وَ الْاَرْضِ ۚ and the earth لَاۤ (There is) no اِلٰهَ god اِلَّا except هُوَ Him یُحْیٖ He gives life وَ یُمِیْتُ ۪ and causes death فَاٰمِنُوْا So believe بِاللّٰهِ in Allah وَ رَسُوْلِهِ and His Messenger النَّبِیِّ the Prophet الْاُمِّیِّ the unlettered الَّذِیْ the one who یُؤْمِنُ believes بِاللّٰهِ in Allah وَ كَلِمٰتِهٖ and His Words وَ اتَّبِعُوْهُ and follow him لَعَلَّكُمْ so that you may تَهْتَدُوْنَ (be) guided وَ مِنْ And among قَوْمِ (the) people مُوْسٰۤی (of) Musa اُمَّةٌ (is) a community یَّهْدُوْنَ (which) guides بِالْحَقِّ with truth وَ بِهٖ and by it یَعْدِلُوْنَ establishes justice 7. Al-A'raf Page 171 وَ قَطَّعْنٰهُمُ And We divided them اثْنَتَیْ (into) two عَشْرَةَ (and) ten [i.e. twelve] اَسْبَاطًا tribes اُمَمًا ؕ (as) communities وَ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ And We inspired اِلٰی to مُوْسٰۤی Musa اِذِ when اسْتَسْقٰىهُ asked him for water قَوْمُهٗۤ his people اَنِ [that] اضْرِبْ Strike بِّعَصَاكَ with your staff الْحَجَرَ ۚ the stone فَانْۢبَجَسَتْ Then gushed forth مِنْهُ from it اثْنَتَا two عَشْرَةَ (and) ten [i.e. twelve] عَیْنًا ؕ springs قَدْ Certainly عَلِمَ knew كُلُّ each اُنَاسٍ people مَّشْرَبَهُمْ ؕ their drinking place وَ ظَلَّلْنَا And We shaded عَلَیْهِمُ [on] them الْغَمَامَ (with) the clouds وَ اَنْزَلْنَا and We sent down عَلَیْهِمُ upon them الْمَنَّ the manna وَالسَّلْوٰی ؕ and the quails كُلُوْا Eat مِنْ from طَیِّبٰتِ (the) good things مَا which رَزَقْنٰكُمْ ؕ We have provided you وَ مَا And not ظَلَمُوْنَا they wronged Us وَ لٰكِنْ but كَانُوْۤا they were اَنْفُسَهُمْ (to) themselves یَظْلِمُوْنَ doing wrong وَ اِذْ And when قِیْلَ it was said لَهُمُ to them اسْكُنُوْا Live هٰذِهِ (in) this الْقَرْیَةَ city وَ كُلُوْا and eat مِنْهَا from it حَیْثُ wherever شِئْتُمْ you wish وَ قُوْلُوْا and say حِطَّةٌ Repentance وَّ ادْخُلُوا and enter الْبَابَ the gate سُجَّدًا prostrating نَّغْفِرْ We will forgive لَكُمْ for you خَطِیْٓـٰٔتِكُمْ ؕ your sins سَنَزِیْدُ We will increase (reward) الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ (of) the good-doers فَبَدَّلَ But changed الَّذِیْنَ those who ظَلَمُوْا wronged مِنْهُمْ among them قَوْلًا word غَیْرَ other than الَّذِیْ (that) which قِیْلَ was said لَهُمْ to them فَاَرْسَلْنَا So We sent عَلَیْهِمْ upon them رِجْزًا torment مِّنَ from السَّمَآءِ the sky بِمَا because كَانُوْا they were یَظْلِمُوْنَ۠ doing wrong
158. Say: “O Mankind! Verily, I am the messenger239 of Allah to you all, (Allah) to whom the kingdoms of heavens and earth belong. There is no god but He. It is He who gives life and who gives death. Therefore, believe in Allah and His messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, who believes in Allah and His words, and follow him so that you may be rightly guided.”
159. And among the people of Moosa240 there was a section guiding with the truth and judging therewith.241
160. And we divided them into twelve tribes, as communities.242 And we revealed to Moosa when his people asked him for water; “Strike the rock with your staff.” So there gushed forth from there twelve springs, and each tribe knew their drinking place.243 And we caused the clouds to draw their shadows over them, and sent down for them manna and salwa244 (saying): “Eat of the clean things we have given you.” (But) they did us no wrong (by being ungrateful), they only wronged themselves.
161. And when It was said to them: “Dwell in this township 245 and eat from wherever you please and say’Hittatun’246 -(forgiveness), and enter the gate prostrating yourselves,247 we will forgive you your sins and will increase the rewards of the right doers.”
162. But those who were wrong-doers among them changed the word that was said to them for another saying248. Finally, we sent down upon them scourge from heaven for their wrongdoing.
239. That is: Whether it is Bani Israil or Bani Ismail, Arabs or Non-Arabs, irrespective of race, colour, country, nation and religion, to all mankind, he has been sent as Allah’s Messenger. In view of this reality, the Last prophet of Arabia is as much a Messenger for the people of India as he is for the people of Arabia.
240. The subject matter reverts to Bani Israil again.
241. The idea is to clarify that the crimes of Bani Israil and their follies which have been mentioned here are definitely their national crimes and follies, but that does not mean that there was no section or group of truth loving people among them at all. In fact, there was a group of truth loving people among them, although it was small in number. This section of the Jews has been fulfilling the demands of truth and justice, has been giving guidance to the people and has been dispensing justice according to their Shariah.
242. Prophet Moosa had organised the Jewish community in the Sinai Desert and had appointed twelve chieftains over the twelve tribes, as is mentioned in Surah Maidah, Verse No. 12. For explanation, Note No.61, Surah Maidah may be referred to. In the Bible also its details have been mentioned in Numbers, Chapter I.
243. Its explanation has been given in Note No.81, Surah Baqarah.
244. Its explanation has been given in Note No.76, Surah Baqarah.
245. For explanation, please refer to Note No 77, Surah Baqarah.
246. For explanation, please refer to Note No. 79, Surah Baqarah.
247. For explanation, please refer to Note No 78, Surah Baqarah.
248. That is: when entering the city as victors, instead of uttering words of praying forgiveness from the Lord, they were haughty and used words of ridicule and scorn.
