Compare 7:41 and 7:40

Last updated: May 4, 2026

highlighted words differ between verses

7:41 · Al-A'raaf · Juz 8

لَهُم مِّن جَهَنَّمَ مِهَادٌ وَمِن فَوْقِهِمْ غَوَاشٍ ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

Hell will be their bed; flames will be their cover. This is how We reward the wrongdoers.

7:40 · Al-A'raaf · Juz 8

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ عَنْهَا لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمْ أَبْوَٰبُ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَلَا يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ حَتَّىٰ يَلِجَ ٱلْجَمَلُ فِى سَمِّ ٱلْخِيَاطِ ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

Surely those who receive our revelations with denial and arrogance, the gates of heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel passes through the eye of a needle. This is how We reward the wicked.

Consecutive penalty verses for those who deny the signs — 7:40 ends with 'wa kadhalika najzi al-mujrimin' and 7:41 ends with 'wa kadhalika najzi al-zalimin' — a single word difference (mujrimin vs zalimin) in back-to-back verse endings.
