Wa-ila madyana akhahum shuAAayban qala ya qawmi oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu wala tanqusoo almikyala waalmeezana innee arakum bikhayrin wa-innee akhafu AAalaykum AAathaba yawmin muheetin\n84. To the Madyan people\n (We sent) Shu\u2019aib, one\n Of their own brethren: he said:\n \"O my people! worship God:\n Ye have no other god\n But Him. And give not\n Short measure or weight:\n I see you in prosperity,\n But I fear for you\n The Penalty of a Day\n That will compass (you) all round.\n85. Waya qawmi awfoo almikyala waalmeezana bialqisti wala tabkhasoo alnnasa ashyaahum wala taAAthaw fee al-ardi mufsideena\n85. \"And O my people! give\n Just measure and weight,\n Nor withhold from the people\n The things that are their due:\n Commit not evil in the land\n With intent to do mischief.\n86. Baqiyyatu Allahi khayrun lakum in kuntum mu/mineena wama ana AAalaykum bihafeethin\n86. \"That which is left you\n By God is best for you,\nIf ye (but) believed!\n But I am not set\n Over you to keep watch!\"\n87. Qaloo ya shuAAaybu asalatuka ta/muruka an natruka ma yaAAbudu abaona aw an nafAAala fee amwalina ma nashao innaka laanta alhaleemu alrrasheedu\n87. They said: \"O Shu\u2019aib!\n Does thy (religion of) prayer\n Command thee that we\n Leave off the worship which\n Our fathers practised, or\n That we leave off doing\n What we like with our property?\n Truly, thou art the one\n That forbeareth with faults\n And is right-minded!\"\n88. Qala ya qawmi araaytum in kuntu AAala bayyinatin min rabbee warazaqanee minhu rizqan hasanan wama oreedu an okhalifakum ila ma anhakum AAanhu in oreedu illa al-islaha ma istataAAtu wama tawfeeqee illa biAllahi AAalayhi tawakkaltu wa-ilayhi oneebu\n88. He said: \"O my people!\n See ye whether I hate\n A Clear (Sign) from my Lord,\n And He hath given me\n Sustenance (pure and) good\n As from Himself? I wish not,\n In opposition to you, to do\n That which I forbid you to do.\n I only desire (your) betterment\n To the best of my power;\n And my success (in my task)\n Can only come from God.\n In Him I trust,\n And unto Him I look.\n89. Waya qawmi la yajrimannakum shiqaqee an yuseebakum mithlu ma asaba qawma noohin aw qawma hoodin aw qawma salihin wama qawmu lootin minkum bibaAAeedin\n89. \"And O my people!\n Let not my dissent (from you)\nCause you to sin,\n Lest ye suffer\n A fate similar to that\n Of the people of Noah\n Or of H\u016bd or of S\u0101lib,\n Nor are the people of L\u016bt\n Far off from you!\n90. Waistaghfiroo rabbakum thumma tooboo ilayhi inna rabbee raheemun wadoodun\n90. \"But ask forgiveness\n Of your Lord, and turn\n Unto Him (in repentance):\n For my Lord is indeed\n Full of mercy and loving-kindness.\"\n91. Qaloo ya shuAAaybu ma nafqahu katheeran mimma taqoolu wa-inna lanaraka feena daAAeefan walawla rahtuka larajamnaka wama anta AAalayna biAAazeezin\n91. They said: \"O Shu\u2019aib!\n Much of what thou sayest\n We do not understand!\n In fact among us we see\n That thou hast no strength!\n Were it not for thy family,\n We should certainly\n Have stoned thee!\n For thou hast among us\n No great position!\"\n92. Qala ya qawmi arahtee aAAazzu AAalaykum mina Allahi waittakhathtumoohu waraakum thihriyyan inna rabbee bima taAAmaloona muheetun\n92. He said: \"O my people!\n Is then my family\n Of more consideration with you\n Than God? For ye cast Him\n Away behind your backs\n (With contempt). But verily\n My Lord encompasseth\n On all sides\n All that ye do!\n93. Waya qawmi iAAmaloo AAala makanatikum innee AAamilun sawfa taAAlamoona man ya/teehi AAathabun yukhzeehi waman huwa kathibun wairtaqiboo inne maAAakum raqeebun\n93. \"And O my people!\n Do whatever ye can:\nI will do (my part):\n Soon will ye know\n Who it is on whom\n Descends the Penalty\n Of ignominy, and who\n Is a liar!\n And watch ye!\n For I too am watching\n With you!\"\n94. Walamma jaa amruna najjayna shuAAayban waallatheena amanoo maAAahu birahmatin minna waakhathati allatheena thalamoo alssayhatu faasbahoo fee diyarihim jathimeena\n94. When Our decree issued,\n We saved Shu\u2019aib and those\n Who believed with him,\n By (special) Mercy from Ourselves\n But the (mighty) Blast did seize\n The wrong-doers, and they\n Lay prostrate in their homes\n By the morning,\u2014\n95. Kaan lam yaghnaw feeha ala buAAdan limadyana kama baAAidat thamoodu\n95. As if they had never\n Dwelt and flourished there!\n Ah! Behold! How the Madyan\n Were removed (from sight)\n As were removed the Tham\u016bd!","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XI.: H\u016bd (The Prophet H\u016bd)...","type":"page"}
