Al-Araf (The Heights)
Verse 135
Translation:
135. But every time We removed the penalty from them according to a fixed term which they had to fulfil Behold! they broke their word!
Notes (Tafseer):
1093. The intercession of Moses was to pray. Each plague or penalty had its appointed term in Allah's decree. That term was duly fulfilled before the plague ceased. The intercession meant two things: (1) that Allah's name was invoked and His presence duly brought home to the mind and heart of the sinner who promised repentance, and (2) that the sinner was given a further chance when the prayer was accepted. This again is a universal truth.
