Infos

Surah al-Araf (The Heights Border Between Hell & Paradise) is the
seventh surah of the Qur'an, with 206 verses. It is a Meccan sura. Its
final verse, verse 206, requires a sajdah, or prostration.

Al-Araf is one of the most detailing Surah about the origins of creation
and revealing prophecies about the judgment day, it starts by telling
us how Satan made our ancestors Adam and Eve to leave heaven and all of
the three came down to earth and from that point Satan became the number
one enemy for humanity.

And how he refused to obey God and asked him to
keep him alive to show him the vulnerability of this new creature the
Human being, the Surah then starts by telling us how Satan misled
thousands of populations over time and gives us examples of some
prophets who suffered in order to gain their lost companions to the
right path, cited in this surah:

Story of Nuh/Noah, which begins with the prophet warning his people and
then the community rejecting the message and facing a punishment, the
Grand Deluge.

Story of Hud: Hud lived with his people Aad, Aad were not ignorant of
the existence of Allah, nor did they refuse to worship Him. What they
did refuse was to worship Allah alone. They worshipped other gods, also,
including idols. This is one sin Allah does not forgive. The Prophet
Hud said to his people: 'He created you, He provides for you and He is
the One Who will cause you to die. He gave you wonderful physiques and
blessed you in many ways. So believe in Him and do not be blind to His
favors, or the same fate that destroyed Noah's people will overtake
you.'

It also reveals that prophecies about the coming of Prophet Muhammad SAW
were present in the Jewish law and Gospel.7:157.
