And unto Thamud
We sent their brother Saleh. He said: O my people! worship Allah;
there is no god for you but he. He hath caused you to spring out of
the earth, and hath made you dwell therein. Wherefore ask forgiveness
of Him, then repent toward Him; verily my Lord is Nigh,Responsive. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
62. |
They said: O
Saleh! heretofore thou wast amongst us as one hoped for. Forbiddest
us thou to worship that which our fathers have worshipped? And verily
we are regarding that to which thou callest us in doubt disquieting. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
63. |
He said; O my
people! bethink if I rest on an evidence from my Lord, and there hath
come to me from Him a mercy, then who will succour me against Allah,
if I disobey Him? Ye then increase me not save in loss. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
64. |
And O my people!
yonder is the she-camel of Allah: a sign unto you; so let her alone,
feeding in Allah's land, and touch her not with evil, lest there may
overtake you a torment nigh. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
65. |
Yet they hamstrang
her. Then he said: enjoy yourselves in your dwellings three days:
that is a promise, not to be falsified. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 66. |
Then when Our
decree came to pass We delivered Saleh and those who believed with
Him by a mercy from Us, and from the humiliation of that day. Verily
thy Lord! He is the Strong, the Mighty. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
67. |
And the shout
overtook those who had done wrong; so they lay in their dwellings
crouching |
|
|
|
|
|
|
68. |
As though they
had never lived at ease therein. Lo! verily Thamud disbelieved in
their Lord. Lo! away with Thamud. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 69. |
And assuredly
Our messengers came unto Ibrahim with the glad tidings. The said:
peace! He said: peace! And he tarried not till he brougt a calf roasted. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 70. |
And when he
beheld that their hands reached it not he misliked them, and ccnceived
a fear of them. They said fear not verily we are sent unto the people
of Lut. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
71. |
And his wife
was standing. she laughed. Then We gave her the glad tidings of Is'haq,
and after Is'haq, Ya'qub. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
72. |
She said: Oh
for me shall bring forth when I am old, and this my husband is advanced
in years! Verily a marvellous thing is this! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 73. |
They said marvellest
thou at the decree of Allah? Mercy of Allah and His blessings be upon
you, people of the house, verily He is Praiseworthy, Glorious. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
74. |
Then when the
alarm had departed from Ibrahim and the glad tidings had come home
unto him, he took to disputing with us for the people of Lut |
|
|
|
|
|
|
75. |
Verily Ibrahim
was forbearing, long-suffering, penitent |
|
|
|
|
|
|
76. |
O Ibrahim! leave
off this; verily the decree from thy Lord hath already come, and verily
they! upon them is coming a torment unavoidable. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 77. |
And when Our
messengers came unto Lut, he was distressed on their account, and
he felt straitened on their account, and he said: this is a lay dreadful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
78. |
And his people
came unto him rushing on toward him, and afore they were wont to work
vices. He said. O my people! these are my daughters: purer are they
for you; so fear Allah, and humiliate me not in the face of my guests;
is there not among you any man right-minded? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 79. |
They said: assuredly
thou knowest that we have no right to thy daughters, and verily thou
knowest that which we would have. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 80. |
He said. Would
that I had strength against you or could betake me to a powerful support! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
81. |
They said: O
Lut! verily we are messengers of thy Lord; they shall by no means
reach thee: go forth thou With thy household in a part of the night,
and let none of you look back, save thy wife; verily that which befalleth
them shall befall her; verily their appointment is for the morning;
is not morning nigh? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
82. |
Then when Our
decree came to pass, We turned the upside thereof downward, and We
rained thereon stones of baked clay, piled up. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 83. |
Marked from
before thy Lord. Nor are they from the wrong-doers far away. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
84. |
And unto Madyan
We sent their brother Shu'aib. He said: O my people! worship Allah;
there is no god for you but he. And give not short measure and weight.
Verily I see you in prosperity, and verily I fear for you the torment
of a Day encompassing |
|
|
|
|
|
|
85. |
And, O my people!
give full measure and weight with equity, and defraud not the people
of their things, and commit not mischief on the earth as corrupters. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
86. |
And the remainder
of Allah is better for you, if ye believers, and I am not over you
a guardian. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
87. |
They said: Shu'aib,
commandeth thee thy prayer that we should abandon that which our fathers
have worshipped, or that we should not do with our riches whatsoever
we will! thou, indeed! thou forsooth art forbearing, right-minded! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
88. |
He said: O my
people! bethink if I rested on an evidence from my Lord, and He hath
provided me with a goodly provision from Himself, shell I fail to
deliver His message! And I desire not, in order to oppose you, to
do that which I forbid I desire not but rectification, so far you
as I am able, and my hope of success is not save with Allah; in
Him I rely and unto Him I turn penitently. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
89. |
And, O my people!
let not the cleavage with me incite you so that there befall you the
like of that which befell the people of Nuh and the people of Hud
and the people of Saleh; and the people of Lut are not from you far
away. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 90. |
And ask forgiveness
of your Lord, and then repent unto him; verily my Lord is Merciful,
Loving. |
