Quran 7 Verse 133 Explanation

For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Al-A’raf ayat 133, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.

Ala-Maududi

(7:133) Then We afflicted them with a great flood [95] and locusts, and the lice[96] , and the frogs, and the blood. All these were distinct signs and yet they remained haughty. They were a wicked people.


95. This probably refers to the torrential rain accompanied by hailstorm. While we do not totally exclude the possibility of other kinds of storms, we are inclined to the view, that it probably signifies hailstorm since the Bible specifically mentions that. (See Exodus 9: 23-4 – Ed.)

96. The word used in the text – qummal – denotes lice, fleas, small locusts, mosquitoes, and weevil. This rather general term has been used in the Qur’an probably to suggest that while men were afflicted with lice and fleas, weevil destroyed the barns. (Cf. Exodus 7-12. See also Tafhim al-ur’an, (al-Zukhruf 43, n. 43.)
