Quran /7- AL-A`RÂF The Heights Revealed at Makkah/   Introduction         The beginning of this sûrah is a continuation of the end of Sûrat Al-An`âm. Then this sûrah includes the start of humanity, so it mentions the story of the creation of Âdam and Hawwâ’ (Eve) and their exit from Paradise by Satan’s whispers. The sûrah also shows some of Satan’s continual whispering to man concerning attire and food. Then the verses, like other verses of the Qur’ân, deal with contemplating the heavens and the earth and the wonderful system they contain. The sûrah mentions the stories of the Prophets Nûh (Noah); Hûd with his nation, the `Âd; Sâlih with his nation, the Thamûd, who were endowed with strength and riches; Lût (Lot) with his nation and the evil acts they dared to commit; and Shu`ayb and the people of Madyan. The sûrah then includes the truthful narratives with the lesson they contain. Allâh then narrates the story of Mûsâ (Moses) and what Pharaoh did. The sûrah concludes by describing one who is given guidance but then leaves it by Satan’s misguidance and how such a person acts. The sûrah finally expounds the call to the truth, which Muhammad came with. In the Name of Allâh, The All-Merciful, the Ever-Merciful
