And (remember) when it was said to them: "Dwell in this town (Jerusalem) and eat therefrom wherever you wish, and say, '(O Allah) forgive our sins'; and enter the gate prostrate (bowing with humility). We shall forgive you your wrong-doings. We shall increase (the reward) for the good-doers."

But those among them who did wrong changed the word that had been told to them. So We sent on them a torment from heaven in return for their wrong-doings.

And ask them (O Muhammad SAW) about the town that was by the sea, when they transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath (i.e. Saturday): when their fish came to them openly on the Sabbath day, and did not come to them on the day they had no Sabbath. Thus We made a trial of them for they used to rebel (see the Qur'an: V.4:154).

And when a community among them said: "Why do you preach to a people whom Allah is about to destroy or to punish with a severe torment?" (The preachers) said: "In order to be free from guilt before your Lord (Allah), and perhaps they may fear Allah."

So when they forgot the remindings that had been given to them, We rescued those who forbade evil, but We seized those who did wrong with a severe torment because they used to rebel (disobey Allah).

So when they exceeded the limits of what they were prohibited, We said to them: "Be you monkeys, despised and rejected." (It is a severe warning to the mankind that they should not disobey what Allah commands them to do, and be far away from what He prohibits them).

And (remember) when your Lord declared that He would certainly keep on sending against them (i.e. the Jews), till the Day of Resurrection, those who would afflict them with a humiliating torment. Verily, your Lord is Quick in Retribution (for the disobedient, wicked) and certainly He is Oft­Forgiving, Most Merciful (for the obedient and those who beg Allah's Forgiveness).

And We have broken them (i.e. the Jews) up into various separate groups on the earth, some of them are righteous and some are away from that. And We tried them with good (blessings) and evil (calamities) in order that they might turn (to Allah's Obedience).

Then after them succeeded an (evil) generation, which inherited the Book, but they chose (for themselves) the goods of this low life (evil pleasures of this world) saying (as an excuse): "(Everything) will be forgiven to us." And if (again) the offer of the like (evil pleasures of this world) came their way, they would (again) seize them (would commit those sins). Was not the covenant of the Book taken from them that they would not say about Allah anything but the truth? And they have studied what is in it (the Book). And the home of the Hereafter is better for those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V.2:2). Do not you then understand?

And as to those who hold fast to the Book (i.e. act on its teachings) and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), certainly, We shall never waste the reward of those who do righteous deeds.

And (remember) when We raised the mountain over them as if it had been a canopy, and they thought that it was going to fall on them. (We said): "Hold firmly to what We have given you [i.e. the Taurat (Torah)], and remember that which is therein (act on its commandments), so that you may fear Allah and obey Him."

And (remember) when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their seed (or from Adam's loin his offspring) and made them testify as to themselves (saying): "Am I not your Lord?" They said: "Yes! We testify," lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection: "Verily, we have been unaware of this."

Or lest you should say: "It was only our fathers afortime who took others as partners in worship along with Allah, and we were (merely their) descendants after them; will You then destroy us because of the deeds of men who practised Al-Batil (i.e. polytheism and committing crimes and sins, invoking and worshipping others besides Allah)?"

And recite (O Muhammad SAW) to them the story of him to whom We gave Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), but he threw them away, so Shaitan (Satan) followed him up, and he became of those who went astray.

And had We willed, We would surely have elevated him therewith but he clung to the earth and followed his own vain desire. So his description is the description of a dog: if you drive him away, he lolls his tongue out, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls his tongue out. Such is the description of the people who reject Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). So relate the stories, perhaps they may reflect.

And surely, We have created many of the jinns and mankind for Hell. They have hearts wherewith they understand not, they have eyes wherewith they see not, and they have ears wherewith they hear not (the truth). They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless ones.

They ask you about the Hour (Day of Resurrection): "When will be its appointed time?" Say: "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord (Alone). None can reveal its time but He. Heavy is its burden through the heavens and the earth. It shall not come upon you except all of a sudden." They ask you as if you have a good knowledge of it.

It is He Who has created you from a single person (Adam), and (then) He has created from him his wife [Hawwa (Eve)], in order that he might enjoy the pleasure of living with her. When he had sexual relation with her, she became pregnant and she carried it about lightly. Then when it became heavy, they both invoked Allah, their Lord (saying): "If You give us a Salih (good in every aspect) child, we shall indeed be among the grateful."

وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيطَانِ نَزغ ٌ فَاستَعِذ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّه ُُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيم ٌ

And if an evil whisper comes to you from Shaitan (Satan) then seek refuge with Allah. Verily, He is All-Hearer, All-Knower.

Wa 'Imma Yanzaghannaka Mina Ash-Shayţani Nazghun Fasta`idh Billahi 'Innahu Sami`un `Alimun

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوا إِذَا مَسَّهُم طَائِف ٌ مِنَ الشَّيطَانِ تَذَكَّرُوا فَإِذَا هُممُبْصِرُونَ

Verily, those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V.2:2), when an evil thought comes to them from Shaitan (Satan), they remember (Allah), and (indeed) they then see (aright).

'Inna Al-Ladhina Attaqaw 'Idha Massahum Ţa'ifun Mina Ash-Shayţani Tadhakkarū Fa'idha Hum Mubşirūna

وَإِخوَانُهُم يَمُدُّونَهُم فِي الغَيِّ ثُمَّ لاَ يُقْصِرُونَ

But (as for) their brothers (the devils) they (i.e. the devils) plunge them deeper into error, and they never stop short.

Wa 'Ikhwanuhum Yamuddūnahum Fi Al-Ghayyi Thumma La Yuqşirūna

وَإِذَا لَم تَأْتِهِمبِآيَة ٍ قَالُوا لَولاَ اجْتَبَيتَهَا قُل إِنَّمَا أَتَّبِعُ مَا يُوحَى إِلَيَّ مِنرَبِّي هَذَا بَصَائِرُ مِنرَبِّكُم وَهُدى ً وَرَحمَة ٌ لِقَوم ٍ يُؤمِنُونَ

And if you do not bring them a miracle [according to their (i.e. Quraish-pagans') proposal], they say: "Why have you not brought it?" Say: "I but follow what is revealed to me from my Lord. This (the Qur'an) is nothing but evidences from your Lord, and a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe."

Wa 'Idha Lam Ta'tihim Bi'ayatin Qalū Lawla Ajtabaytaha Qul 'Innama 'Attabi`u Ma Yūĥá 'Ilayya Min Rabbi Hadha Başa'iru Min Rabbikum Wa Hudáan Wa Raĥmatun Liqawmin Yu'uminūna

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ القُرآنُ فَاستَمِعُوا لَه ُُ وَأَنصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُم تُرحَمُونَ

So, when the Qur'an is recited, listen to it, and be silent that you may receive mercy. [i.e. during the compulsory congregational prayers when the Imam (of a mosque) is leading the prayer (except Surat Al-Fatiha), and also when he is delivering the Friday-prayer Khutbah]. [Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol.9, Pages 162-4]

Wa 'Idha Quri'a Al-Qur'anu Fastami`ū Lahu Wa 'Anşitū La`allakum Turĥamūna

وَاذكُررَبَّكَ فِي نَفسِكَ تَضَرُّعا ً وَخِيفَة ً وَدُونَ الجَهرِ مِنَ القَولِ بِالغُدُوِّ وَالآصَالِ وَلاَ تَكُنمِنَ الغَافِلِينَ

And remember your Lord by your tongue and within yourself, humbly and with fear without loudness in words in the mornings, and in the afternoons and be not of those who are neglectful.

Wa Adhkur Rabbaka Fi Nafsika Tađarru`aan Wa Khifatan Wa Dūna Al-Jahri Mina Al-Qawli Bil-Ghudūwi Wa Al-'Āşali Wa La Takun Mina Al-Ghafilina

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ لاَ يَستَكبِرُونَ عَن عِبَادَتِه ِِ وَيُسَبِّحُونَه ُُ وَلَه ُُ يَسجُدُونَ

Surely, those who are with your Lord (angels) are never too proud to perform acts of worship to Him, but they glorify His Praise and prostrate before Him.
