The reason for the naming of Surat al-A'raf

Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. He has a second question, saying: Shaykh, why was Surat al-A'raf given this name? I have read in a book that al-A'raf is a barrier between Paradise and the Fire where they remain for a number of years. Is this correct?

Answer:
Yes, Surat al-A'raf was named so because of the mention of al-A'raf in it: So the surah was named al-A'raf because of the mention of al-A'raf in it. It is said that those on al-A'raf are people whose good deeds and bad deeds are equal, so they will be between Paradise and the Fire, not having entered it, while they hope to enter it.
