Translation of the meanings Ayah 9 Surah Al-A‘rāf - English Translation - Dr. Waleed Bleyhesh Omary - The Noble Qur'an Encyclopedia

Ayah: 9

وَمَنۡ خَفَّتۡ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَظۡلِمُونَ

(9) ˹while˺ the one whose scales are light, then these are the ones who lost their souls, for wrongfully dealing with Our Signs^[1577].

[1577] The word ‘Signs’, meaning that which they rejected is deployed throughout this sura on 22 occasions. Indeed it is one of the most recurrent Qur’anic lexical items. In its plural form alone it is to be found 280 times in the Qur’an. God would never leave people in the dark without showing them His Signs, but it is up to them to choose to Believe or Deny: “We shall show them Our Signs in the horizons, and within themselves, until it becomes clear to them that it is the Truth” (41: 53).
