7:40 Al-A'raaf

‎إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا عَنْهَا لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمْ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ وَلَا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّىٰ يَلِجَ الْجَمَلُ فِي سَمِّ الْخِيَاطِ ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُجْرِمِينَ

Verily, those who belie Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and treat them with arrogance, for them the gates of heaven will not be opened, and they will not enter Paradise until the camel goes through the eye of the needle (which is impossible). Thus do We recompense the Mujrimun (criminals).

7:41 Al-A'raaf

‎لَهُمْ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ مِهَادٌ وَمِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ غَوَاشٍ ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الظَّالِمِينَ

Theirs will be a bed of Hell (Fire), and over them coverings (of Hell-fire). Thus do We recompense the Zalimun (unfair, wrong-doers, etc.).

To understand the meaning of the verses it’s advised to understand the word Ayat not by looking up its translation, but by searching for the Ayat throughout the Quran.

Today I will start reading once again the Quran, I usually read for one hour a day. Read along keeping in mind looking up the Ayat throughout the Quran, why and how they were delivered as well as by whom (they were not always delivered by prophets or messengers).

This evening, at 7 pm Madrid time zone, I am going to recite surah Al-Kahf and surah Al-i-Imran and in both you can find God’s Ayat that were brought by people that weren’t prophets, can you find them and understand their stories and God’s wisdom?
