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

٥٩ - ہم نے نوح کو ان کی قوم کی طرف بھیجا تو انہوں نے (ان سے کہا) اے میری برادری کے لوگو خدا کی عبادت کرو اس کے سوا تمہارا کوئی معبود نہیں۔ مجھے تمہارے بارے میں بڑے دن کے عذاب کا (بہت ہی) ڈر ہے .
[7:59] We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day.
٦٣ - کیا تم کو اس بات سے تعجب ہوا ہے کہ تم میں سے ایک شخص کے ہاتھ تمہارے پروردگار کی طرف سے تمہارے پاس نصیحت آئی تاکہ وہ تم کو ڈرائے اور تاکہ تم پرہیزگار بنو اور تاکہ تم پر رحم کیا جائے .
[7:63] Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you and that you may fear Allah so you might receive mercy."

٦٤ - مگر ان لوگوں نے ان کی تکذیب کی۔ تو ہم نے نوح کو اور جو ان کے ساتھ کشتی میں سوار تھے ان کو تو بچا لیا اور جن لوگوں نے ہماری آیتوں کو جھٹلایا تھا انہیں غرق کر دیا۔ کچھ شک نہیں کہ وہ اندھے لوگ تھے .
[7:64] But they denied him, so We saved him and those who were with him in the ship. And We drowned those who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a blind people.
