Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 7 Al-A'raf, Ayat 69-69
اَوَعَجِبۡتُمۡ اَنۡ جَآءَكُمۡ ذِكۡرٌ مِّنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ عَلٰى رَجُلٍ مِّنۡكُمۡ لِيُنۡذِرَكُمۡ ؕ وَاذۡكُرُوۡۤا اِذۡ جَعَلَـكُمۡ ۚ خُلَفَآءَ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ قَوۡمِ نُوۡحٍ وَّزَادَكُمۡ فِى الۡخَـلۡقِ بَصۜۡطَةً فَاذۡكُرُوۡۤا اٰ لَۤاءَ اللّٰهِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُوۡنَ
﴿7:69﴾
(7:69) Do you wonder that an exhortation should come to you from your Lord
through a man from amongst yourselves that he may warn you? And do call to mind
when He made you successors after the people of Noah and amply increased you
in stature. Remember then the wondrous bounties52 of Allah, that
you may prosper.'
Notes
52. The word ala' used in the above verse stands for bounties, wondrous works
of nature, and praiseworthy qualities. The purpose of the verse is to impress
upon man to gratefully, recognize the favours God has lavished upon him, bearing
in mind that God also has the Power to take them away.
