Surah Al A'raf Tafseer

أَوْ تَقُولُواْ إِنَّمَا أَشْرَكَ ابَاوُنَا

مِن قَبْلُ

unaware. Or lest you should say:"It was only our fathers aforetime who took others as partners in worship along with Allah,"

وَكُنَّا ذُرِّيَّةً مِّن بَعْدِهِمْ

أَفَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ

and we were (merely their) descendants after them; will You then destroy us because of the deeds of men who practiced falsehood."

وَكَذَلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الايَاتِ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
