'Praise Allah for making you representatives on the earth after the destruction of the people of ‘Ād who had persevered in disbelief, and thank Him for establishing you in the land so that you could enjoy it and satisfy your desires.
You build palaces in the plains and carve houses for yourselves out of the mountains.
Remember Allah’s blessings upon you and thank Him for them, and do not to put your efforts into causing corruption on earth and leave off your disbelief in Allah and your disobedience to Him.

Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation

"And remember how He made you inheritors after the 'Ad people and gave you habitations in the land: ye build for yourselves palaces and castles in (open) plains, and carve out homes in the mountains; so bring to remembrance the benefits (ye have received) from Allah, and refrain from evil and mischief on the earth."

Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri

And remember when He made you successors (generations) after `Ad and gave you habitations in the land, you build for yourselves palaces in plains, and carve out homes in the mountains. So remember the graces (bestowed upon you) from Allah, and do not go about making mischief on the earth.

» tafsir Tafheem-ul-Quran ,Maududi

واذكروا إذ جعلكم خلفاء من بعد عاد وبوأكم في الأرض تتخذون من سهولها قصورا وتنحتون الجبال بيوتا فاذكروا آلاء الله ولا تعثوا في الأرض مفسدين

سورة: الأعراف - آية: ( 74 ) - جزء: ( 8 ) - صفحة: ( 160 )

Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim

Recall to mind His favours and impel yourselves to the feeling of gratitude for the efficacious grace He conferred on you. He made you the inheritors of the people of Ad (the Adites) and made the earth your world of destined habitation. on its plains you erect buildings, palaces and castles, and its mountains you hew and carve into homes. Therefore, remember with gratitude and humility the privileges He bestowed on you and stop making mischief on earth and refrain from creating discord

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(7:74) And call to mind when He made you successors after 'Ad and gave you power in the earth so that you took for yourselves palaces in its plains and hewed out dwellings in the mountains. *59 Remember, then, the wondrous bounties of Allah and do not go about creating mischief in the land.' *60

And remember when He made you successors after the 'Aad and settled meaning

*59). The Thamud were highly skilful in rock-carving, and made huge mansions by carving the mountains, as we have mentioned earlier (see n. 57 above). In this regard the works of the Thamud resemble the rock-carvings in the Ajanta and Ellora caves in India and several other places. A few buildings erected by the Thamud are still intact in Mada'in Salih and speak of their tremendous skills in civil engineering and architecture.
*60). The Qur'an asks people to draw a lesson from the tragic end of the 'Ad. For just as God destroyed that wicked people and established Muslims in positions of power and influence previously occupied by them, He can also destroy the Muslims and replace them by Others if they should become wicked and mischievous. (For further elaboration see n. 52 above.)

And remember when He made you successors after the 'Aad and settled meaning in Urdu

یاد کرو وہ وقت جب اللہ نے قوم عاد کے بعد تمہیں اس کا جانشین بنایا اور تم کو زمین میں یہ منزلت بخشی کہ تم اُس کے ہموار میدانوں میں عالی شان محل بناتے اور اس کے پہاڑوں کو مکانات کی شکل میں تراشتے ہو پس اس کی قدرت کے کرشموں سے غافل نہ ہو جاؤ اور زمین میں فساد برپا نہ کرو"
