TRANSGRESSED:<br />

7:163 - Ask them concerning the town standing close by the sea. Behold! they transgressed in the<br />

matter of the Sabbath. For on the day of their Sabbath their fish did come to them openly<br />

holding up their heads but on the day they had no Sabbath they came not: thus did We make<br />

a trial of them for they were given to transgression. 1137<br />

1137 Cf. ii. 65 and n. 79. Fishing, like every other activity, was prohibited to Israel on the Sabbath day. As this practice was<br />

usually observed, the fish used to come up with a sense of security to their water channels or pools openly on the<br />

Sabbath day, but not on other days when fishing was open. This was a great temptation to the law-breakers, which<br />

they could not resist. Some of their men of piety protested, but it had no effect. When their transgressions, which we<br />

may suppose, extended to other commandments, passed beyond bounds, the punishment came. (7.163)<br />

7:166 - When in their insolence they transgressed (all) prohibition We said to them: "Be ye apes<br />

despised and rejected." 1139<br />

1139 Cf. ii. 65, n. 79. (7.166)<br />

9:10 - In a believer they respect not the ties either of kinship or of covenant! It is they who have<br />

transgressed all bounds. 1258<br />

1258 The catalogue of their sins being set out, it is clear that they were aggressors in the worst possible ways; and war<br />

became inevitable. (9.10)<br />

11:112 - Therefore stand firm (in the straight path) as thou art commanded thou and those who<br />

with thee turn (unto Allah); and transgress not (from the Path): for He seeth well all that ye do.<br />

20:24 - "Go thou to Pharaoh for he had indeed transgressed all bounds." 2551<br />

2551 Moses, having been spiritually prepared now gets his definite commission to go to Pharaoh and point out the error of<br />

his ways. So inordinate was Pharaoh's vanity that he had it in his mind to say: "I am your Lord Most High!" (lxxix. 24).<br />

(20.24)<br />

39:53 - Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy<br />

of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. 4324<br />

4324 Forgives all sins: i.e., on sincere repentance and amendment of conduct. (39.53)<br />

43:5 - Shall We then take away the Message from you and repel (you) for that ye are a people<br />

transgressing beyond bounds? 4607<br />

4607 In vouchsafing Revelation, what an inestimable Mercy has Allah conferred on mankind! Yet so many deluded souls<br />

are ungrateful, and ignore or oppose its teaching. If it were not for His attributes of Forgiveness and Forbearing He<br />

would be justified in withdrawing that Light, but He continues to shed it, that all who will may come and be blessed by<br />

it. (43.5)<br />

51:46 - So were the people of Noah before them: for they wickedly transgressed. 5024<br />

5024 The generation of Noah was swept away in the Flood for their sins: vii. 59-64. The point is that such a Flood seemed<br />

so unlikely to them that they thought Noah was "wandering in his mind" when he delivered Allah's Message: vii. 60.<br />

(51.46)<br />

68:31 - They said: "Alas for us! We have indeed transgressed!<br />

79:17 - "Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds. 5929<br />

5929 Cf. xx. 24. (79.17)<br />

79:37 - Then for such as had transgressed all bounds<br />

79:38 - And had preferred the life of this world 5944<br />

5944 The abiding Punishment will be for those who had wilfully and persistently rebelled against Allah, "transgressing all<br />

bounds", and had given themselves up to the vanities and lusts of this lower life. This Punishment will not touch those<br />

who had repented and been forgiven, nor those guilty, through human frailty, of minor sing, whose deeds will be<br />

weighed in the balance against their good deeds: ci. 6-9. (79.38)<br />

79:39 - The Abode will be Hell-Fire;<br />

89:10 - And with Pharaoh Lord of Stakes? 6117<br />

89:11 - (All) these transgressed Beyond bounds in the lands.<br />
