Surah Araf ayat 130 Tafsir Quran 7:130

﴿وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَا آلَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِالسِّنِينَ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ﴾
[ الأعراف: 130]

7:130 And We certainly seized the people of Pharaoh with years of famine and a deficiency in fruits that perhaps they would be reminded.

And verily We seized Pharaoh’s folk with the years of drought and dearth of fruits so that they might remember that they might heed the admonition and become believers.

We subjected Pharaoh and his people to a retributory punishment and made them suffer heavy damage. They were pined with dearth, hunger and drought for years that they may hopefully humble themselves to Him and lift to Him their inward sight

Fir`awn and His People suffer Years of Drought Allah said, وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَآ ءالَ فِرْعَوْنَ ( And indeed We punished the people of Fir`awn ) We tested and tried them, بِالسِّنِينَ ( with years of drought ) of famine due to little produce, وَنَقْصٍ مِّن الثَّمَرَاتِ ( and lack of fruits ), which is less severe, according to Mujahid.
Abu Ishaq narrated that Raja' bin Haywah said, "The date tree used to produce only one date!" لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَفَإِذَا جَآءَتْهُمُ الْحَسَنَةُ ( That they might remember (take heed ).
But whenever good came to them) such as a fertile season and provisions, قَالُواْ لَنَا هَـذِهِ ( they said, "This is for us." ), because we deserve it, وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ ( and if evil afflicted them ) drought and famine, يَطَّيَّرُواْ بِمُوسَى وَمَن مَّعَهُ ( they considered it an omen Musa and those with him.
) saying that this hardship is because of them and what they have done. أَلاَ إِنَّمَا طَائِرُهُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ ( Verily, their omens are with Allah ) `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas commented on the Ayah, أَلاَ إِنَّمَا طَائِرُهُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ ( Verily, their omens are with Allah ) "Allah says that their afflictions are with and from Him, وَلَـكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ ( but most of them know not. )"

( And We straitened Pharaoh’s folk with famine ) and hunger, year after year ( and the dearth of fruits ) the disappearance of fruits, ( that peradventure they might heed ) that they might take admonition.

And indeed We punished the people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) with years of drought and shortness of fruits (crops, etc.), that they might remember (take heed).
