Meaning: their footsteps · Also translated as: and impressions, their footprints, my tracks, track
أثر الشيء: حصول ما يدل على وجوده، يقال: أثر وأثر، والجمع: الآثار. قال الله تعالى: ثم قفينا على آثارهم برسلنا [الحديد/ 27] ، وآثارا في الأرض [غافر/ 21] ، وقوله: فانظر إلى آثار رحمت الله [الروم/ 50] .
الهمزة والثاء والراء، له ثلاثة أصول: تقديم الشيء، وذكر الشيء، ورسم الشيء الباقي. قال الخليل: لقد أثرت بأن أفعل كذا، وهو هم في عزم. وتقول افعل يا فلان هذا آثرا ما، وآثر [ذي] أثير، أي: إن اخترت ذلك الفعل فافعل هذا إما لا. قال ابن الأعرابي: معناه افعله أول كل شيء. قال عروة بن الورد:
Verses 1–14 of 14
And in their footsteps We sent Jesus the son Of Mary, confirming The Law that had come Before him: We sent him The Gospel: therein Was guidance and light, And confirmation of the Law That had come before him: A guidance and an admonition To those who fear God.
Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 5:46Thou wouldst only, perchance, Fret thyself to death, Following after them, in grief, If they believe not In this Message.
Surah Al-Kahf, verse 18:6Moses said: "That was what We were seeking after:" So they went back On their footsteps, following (The path they had come).
Surah Al-Kahf, verse 18:64He replied: "Behold, they are Close on my footsteps: I hastened to Thee. O my Lord, To please Thee."
Surah Taha, verse 20:84He replied: "I saw what They saw not: so I took A handful (of dust) from The footprint of the Apostle, And threw it (into the calf): Thus did my soul suggest To me."
Surah Taha, verse 20:96Then contemplate (O man!) The memorials of God's Mercy!— How He gives life To the earth after Its death: verily the Same Will give life to the men Who are dead: for He Has power over all things.
Surah Ar-Rum, verse 30:50Verily We shall give life To the dead, and We record That which they send before And that which they leave Behind, and of all things Have We taken account In a clear Book (Of evidence).
Surah Ya-Sin, verse 36:12So they (too) were rushed Down on their footsteps!
Surah As-Saffat, verse 37:70Do they not travel Through the earth and see What was the End Of those before them They were even superior To them in strength, And in the traces (they Have left) in the land: But God did call them To account for their sins, And none had they To defend them against God.
Surah Ghafir, verse 40:21Do they not travel through The earth and see what Was the End of those Before them? They were More numerous than these And superior in strength And in the traces (They have left) in the land: Yet all that they accomplished Was of no profit to them.
Surah Ghafir, verse 40:82Nay! they say: "We found Our fathers following A certain religion, And we do guide ourselves By their footsteps."
Surah Az-Zukhruf, verse 43:22Just in the same way, Whenever We sent a Warner Before thee to any people, The wealthy ones among them Said: "We found our fathers Following a certain religion, And we will certainly Follow in their footsteps."
Surah Az-Zukhruf, verse 43:23Muhammad is the Apostle Of God; and those who are With him are strong Against Unbelievers, (but) Compassionate amongst each other. Thou wilt see them bow And prostrate themselves (In prayer), seeking Grace From God and (His) Good Pleasure. On their faces are their Marks, (being) the traces Of their prostration. This is their similitude In the Taurāt; And their similitude In the Gospel is: Like a seed which sends Forth its blade, then Makes it strong; it then Becomes thick, and it stands On its own stem, (filling) The sowers with wonder And delight. As a result, It fills the Unbelievers With rage at them. God has promised those Among them who believe And do righteous deeds Forgiveness, And a great Reward.
Surah Al-Fath, verse 48:29Then, in their wake, We followed them up With (others of) Our apostles: We sent after them Jesus the son of Mary, And bestowed on him The Gospel; and We ordained In the hearts of those Who followed him Compassion and Mercy. But the Monasticism Which they invented For themselves, We did not Prescribe for them: (We commanded) only The seeking for the Good Pleasure of God; but that They did not foster As they should have done. Yet We bestowed, on those Among them who believed, Their (due) reward, but Many of them are Rebellious transgressors.
Surah Al-Hadid, verse 57:27
