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

۞ وَإِذۡ

وَظَنُّوٓاْ
أَنَّهُۥ
وَاقِعُۢ

مَآ

بِقُوَّةٖ
وَٱذۡكُرُواْ
مَا
فِيهِ
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
تَتَّقُونَ

Chapter 7, Page 173, Juz 9

169. and they were succeeded by generations who, although they inherited the Scripture, took the fleeting gains of this lower world, saying, ‘We shall be forgiven,’ and indeed taking them again if other such gains came their way. Was a pledge not taken from them, writ-ten in the Scripture, to say nothing but the truth about God? And they have studied its contents well. For those who are mindful of God, the Hereafter is better. ‘Why do you not use your reason?’ 170. But as for those who hold fast to the Scripture and keep up the prayer, We do not deny righteous people their rewards. 171. When We made the mountain loom high above them like a shadow, and they thought it would fall on them, We said, ‘Hold fast to what We have given you, and remember what it contains, so that you may remain conscious of God.’
