The surah that depicts the final separation of the believers and unbelievers on the Day of Judgment by an unscalable edifice called The Elevations that veils them from one another; but upon it stand men and women who can see both the people destined for Paradise and those fated for Hell, while their own harrowing verdict remains as yet undeclared by God. It is named after "the Elevations" (al-Aʿrāf) mentioned in verse 46 ff. The surah begins by addressing the Prophet Muḥammad, reassuring him about his revelations, and closes emphasizing the fact that he merely repeats what is revealed to him. It warns the disbelievers of their fate via numerous stories of disobedient communities of the past, in the hope that they may take heed and repent before it is too late. Both subjects also serve to give encouragement to the Prophet and the believers.
The surah is also known as The Battlements, The Faculty of Discernment, The Heights, The Ramparts, Wall Between Heaven and Hell

Detailed verse by verse explanation of Quran in Urdu by Late Dr. Israr Ahmad.
١١ - اور ہم ہی نے تم کو (ابتدا میں مٹی سے) پیدا کیا پھر تمہاری صورت شکل بنائی پھر فرشتوں کو حکم دیا آدم کے آگے سجدہ کرو تو (سب نے) سجدہ کیا لیکن ابلیس کہ وہ سجدہ کرنے والوں میں (شامل) نہ ہوا .
[7:11] And We have certainly created you, [O Mankind], and given you [human] form. Then We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was not of those who prostrated.
[Transliteration] Wa laqad khalaqnaakum summa sawwarnaakum summa qulnaa lilmalaaa'ikatis judoo li Aadama fa-sajadooo illaaa Ibleesa lam yakum minas saajideen
١٢ - (خدا نے) فرمایا جب میں نے تجھ کو حکم دیا تو کس چیز نے تجھے سجدہ کرنے سے باز رکھا۔ اس نے کہا کہ میں اس سے افضل ہوں۔ مجھے تو نے آگ سے پیدا کیا ہے اور اسے مٹی سے بنایا ہے .
[7:12] [Allah] said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?" [Satan] said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."
[Transliteration] Qaala maa mana'aka allaa tasjuda iz amartuka qaala ana khairum minhu khalaqtanee min naarinw wa khalaqtahoo min teen
