Sura 7 · Juzuu 9
Al-A'raf · 7:176
وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنَاهُ بِهَا وَلَٰكِنَّهُ أَخْلَدَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ ۚ فَمَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ إِنْ تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْهِ يَلْهَثْ أَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ يَلْهَثْ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا ۚ فَاقْصُصِ الْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
Na lau tulitaka kukitukuza cheo chake kwa aya tulizompa tungalifanya, lakini yeye alitegemea ulimwengu na akafuata matamanio yake, na akafadhilisha ladha zake na hawaa zake juu ya Akhera, na akakataa kumtii Mwenyezi Mungu na akaenda kinyume na amri Yake. Mfano wa mwanamume huyu ni mfano wa mbwa: ukimfukuza au ukimuacha hutoa ulimi wake katika hali zote mbili. Basi hivyo ndivyo alivyo yule aliyejivua aya za Mwenyezi Mungu kwa kuziacha, huwa akiendelea katika ukafiri wake ikiwa utafanya bidii kumlingania au utampuuza. Sifa hii, ewe Mtume, ndiyo sifa ya watu hawa waliokuwa wapotevu kabla hujawajia kwa uongofu na utume. Basi simulia, ewe Mtume, habari za watu waliopita, kwani katika kutolea kwako habari zao ni miujiza mikubwa zaidi; na huenda watu wako wakazingatia juu ya yale uliyowajia nayo na wakakuamini.
Tafsir
Hakuna tafsir katika lugha yako. Hii ni Al-Mukhtasar kwa Kiingereza.
176. If Allah had desired, He would have made this person benefit through these signs, enabling him to act according to them, so that he would be raised up in this world and in the next. But he chose what led to his failure, being attracted to the desires of the worldly life, and preferring them to the Afterlife. His example in his extreme greed for this world is like the example of a dog, which pants with its tongue constantly, whether it is resting or whether it is chased away. This example is the example of the people who are astray because of rejecting Allah’s signs. So relate the stories to them O Messenger so that they may think and reject their denial of the truth and their misguidance.
