Many people do not know Allah. This series is an attempt to help them in order to know and acknowledge their Creator.Verses 7:49-51 of the Noble Quran talk about: 1) They swore that Allah would not grant them mercy, 2) When the dwellers of the Fire call out to the dwellers of Paradise: Pour on us some water or..., 3) Allah has prohibited water, fruits, food, etc. of Paradise to the dwellers of the Fire, 4) Allah will Forget the Disbelievers as they forgot the encounter of the Day of Judgment and 5) The Disbelievers are Deceived and Beguiled by the Life of the World. In the previous article (40), the men on the Heights, whose good deeds and evil deeds are equal, and they have not yet enter either Paradise or Fire; they call unto the inhabitants of the Fire and say:O leaders! What did your multitude of wealth and servants and that in which you took your pride which made you scorn belief in Muhammad and the Quran (avail you?)Then, the men on the Heights will look at the dwellers of Paradise and will call again unto the inhabitants of the Fire and say:  The meaning of verse 7: 49 Then, the men on the Heights looked at the dwellers of Paradise and said to those in the Fire: O group of disbelievers, are these meek and weak people the ones of whom you swore in the life of this world, that Allah would not show or grant them mercy? that Allah would not enter them to Paradise. They have indeed entered Paradise in spite of you.  Allah then says to the people of the Heights: 'Enter Paradise; no fear from the torment shall come upon you, nor shall you grieve'. The meaning of verse 7: 50 And the inhabitants of the Fire call out to the inhabitants of Paradise saying: ‘Pour on us some water, or some of that, food, which Allah has provided you!' They say: ‘Allah has forbidden, He has prohibited, both to the disbelievers.In other words, the dwellers of the Fire cry out unto the dwellers of the Garden: Pour on us some water or some of that wherewith Allah hath provided you of the fruits, food, juice etc. of Paradise.  They i.e. the dwellers of Paradise say: Lo! Allah has forbidden both water and the fruits and/or food of Paradise to disbelievers (in His guidance). The meaning of verse 7: 51 They, the dwellers of the Fire took their religion for a diversion and a game, a joke and mockery and whom the life of this world has deluded; the comfort and luxury of the life of the world beguiled them. They forgot Allah the meeting of the Day of Judgment.  Therefore today, the Day of Judgment, Allah has forgotten them, Allah has left them in the Fire, just as they forgot the encounter of this day of theirs, when they neglected to perform good deeds for it, and because they used to deny Allah signs (the Quran).In other words, Allah leave them in hell as they left the belief in this Day of theirs and as they used to deny Allah's tokens, His Scripture and Messenger.============  Verses 7: 7:49-51 in different English translations of the meanings of Arabic Quran: Verse 7: 49 QARIB: are these whom you swore that Allah would never have mercy upon them? ' (to them it will be said:) 'enter paradise. you have nothing to fear neither will you be saddened. ' SHAKIR: are these they about whom you swore that Allah will not bestow mercy on them? enter the garden; you shall have no fear, nor shall you grieve PICKTHAL: are these they of whom ye swore that Allah would not show them mercy? (unto them it hath been said): enter the garden. no fear shall come upon you nor is it ye who will grieve. YUSUFALI: "behold! are these not the men whom you swore that Allah with his mercy would never bless? enter ye the garden: no fear shall be on you, nor shall ye grieve." Verse 7: 50 QARIB: the companions of the fire will call out to the companions of paradise: 'pour upon us some water, or some of that which Allah has provided you. ' but they shall reply: 'Allah has forbidden both to the unbelievers, SHAKIR: and the inmates of the fire shall call out to the dwellers of the garden, saying: pour on us some water or of that which Allah has given you. they shall say: surely Allah has prohibited them both to the unbelievers PICKTHAL: and the dwellers of the fire cry out unto the dwellers of the garden: pour on us some water or some wherewith Allah hath provided you. they say: lo! Allah hath forbidden both to disbelievers (in his guidance), YUSUFALI: the companions of the fire will call to the companions of the garden: "pour down to us water or anything that Allah doth provide for your sustenance." they will say: "both these things hath Allah forbidden to those who rejected him." Verse 7: 51 QARIB: who made their religion an amusement and play, and who were beguiled by their worldly life. ' on this day we will forget them as they forgot the meeting of that day; for they denied our verses. SHAKIR: who take their religion for an idle sport and a play and this life's world deceives them; so today we forsake them, as they neglected the meeting of this day of theirs and as they denied our communications PICKTHAL: who took their religion for a sport and pastime, and whom the life of the world beguiled. so this day we have forgotten them even as they forgot the meeting of this their day and as they used to deny our tokens. YUSUFALI: "such as took their religion to be mere amusement and play, and were deceived by the life of the world." that day shall we forget them as they forgot the meeting of this day of theirs, and as they were wont to reject our signs.
