Surah Al‑A’raf (Chapter 7 of the Quran)
A Divine Message for the Modern World 🌍
🌿 Why This Chapter Matters Today
Surah Al‑A’raf is not just a religious chapter. It is a mirror. It shows us who we are, where we went wrong, and how we can return.
This chapter talks about:
- The first human (Adam)
- The ego of Satan
- Rise and fall of civilizations
- Arrogance of power
- Ignoring truth even after seeing signs
- Inner peace vs outer success
👉 The modern world is rich in technology but poor in peace.
👉 Surah Al‑A’raf explains why.
This is not only for Muslims. This is for every human soul.
🌱 Core Divine Message (In One Line)
When humans forget God, they lose themselves.
