He said: O my
people! not with me is the error, but I am an apostle from the Lord
of the worlds. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
62. |
I preach unto
you the messages of my Lord and I councel you good, and I know from
Allah which ye know not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
63. |
Marvel ye that
an admonition from your Lord should come unto you upon a man from
amongst yourselves, in order that the may warn you and that ye may
fear, and that haply ye may be shewn mercy? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
64. |
Then they belied
him; there upon We delivered him and those with him in the ark, and
drowned those who belied Our signs; verily they were a people blind. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
65. |
And unto 'Ad
We sent their brothers Hud. He said: O my people! worship Allah, no
god ye have but He; Fear ye not? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 66. |
The chiefs of
those who disbelived among his people said: verily we see thee in
folly, and verily we deem thee to be of the liars. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
67. |
He said: O my
people! not with me is folly, but I am an apostle from the Lord of
the worlds. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
68. |
I preach unto
you the messages of my Lord, and I am unto you a counseller faithful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 69. |
Marvel ye that
an admonition from your Lord should come unto you upon a Man from
amongst you in order that he may warn you? Remember what time He made
you successors after the people, of Nuh, and increased you amply in
stature Remember the benefits of Allah, that haply ye may fare well. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 70. |
They said: art
thou come unto us that we should worship God alone and leave that
which our fathers were wont to worship? Bring thou then upon us that
wherewith thou threatenest us if thou sayest sooth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
71. |
He said: surely
there have befallen you wrath and indignation from your Lord. Dispute
ye with me over names ye have named, ye and your fathers, for which
Allah hath sent down no warranty? Wait then; I also will be with you
of those who wait. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
72. |
Then We delivered
him and those with him by a mercy from Us, and We utterly cut off
those who belied Our signs, and would not be believers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 73. |
And unto Thamud
We sent their brother, Salih He said: my people! worship Allah, no
god ye have but He; surely there hath come unto you an evidence from
your Lord. Yonder is the she-camel of Allah: a sign unto you; so leave
her alone, pasturing on Allah's earth, and touch her not with evil,
lest there seize you a torment afflictive. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
74. |
And remember
what time He made you successors after 'Ad and inherited you in earth;
ye take for yourselves palaces in the plains whereof and ye hew out
the mountains as houses. Remember ye wherefore the benefits of Allah
and commit not evil on the earth as corrupters. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
75. |
The chiefs of
those who were stiff-necked amongst His people said unto those who
were counted weak -unto such of them as believed: know ye that Salih
is a sent one of his Lord? They said: verily we are believers in that
wherewith he hath been sent. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
76. |
Those who were
stiff-necked said: verily we are disbelievers in that which ye believe. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 77. |
Then they hamstrung
the she camel and disdained the commandment of their Lord, and said:
Salih! bring upon us that wherewith thou hast threatened us if thou
art in sooth of the sent ones. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
78. |
Whereupon an
earthquake seized them, so that they lay prone in their dwellings. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 79. |
Then he turned
from them, and said: O my people! assuredly delivered unto you the
messages of my Lord, and counselled you good, but ye approve not the
good counsellors. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 80. |
And We sent
Lut, when he said unto his people: commit ye an indecency wherewith
none hath preceded you in the worlds? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
81. |
Verily ye go
in lustfully unto men instead of women! Aye! ye are a people extravagant. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
82. |
And naught was
the answer of his people save that they said: drive themforth from
your city, verily they are a people who would be pure! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 83. |
Then We delivered
him and his household, save his wife: she was among the lingerers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
84. |
And We rained
upon them a rain. So behold! what like was the end of the sinners. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
85. |
And unto Madyan
We sent their brother Shu'aib. He said: O my people! worship Allah,
no god ye have buthe; surely there hath come unto you an evidence
from your Lord. So give full measure and weight, and defraud not people
of their things, and act not corruptly on the earth after the ordering
thereof; thatis best for you if ye be believers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
86. |
And beset not
every highway menacing and turning aside from the path of Allah those
who believe in Him, and seeking to make it crooked. And remember when
ye were small, and He thereafter multiplied you; and behold what like
was the end of the corrupters. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
87. |
And if there
be a party of you who believeth in that wherewith I am sent and a
party who believeth not, then have patience until Allah judgeth between
us, and He is the Best of judges. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
88. |
The chiefs of
those who were stiff-necked amongst his people said: surely we shall
drive you forth, Shu'aib! and those who have believed with thee from
our city, or else ye shall return unto our faith. He said: what! even
though we be averse! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
89. |
We must have
been fabricating a lie against Allah if we returned to your faith
after Allah hath delivered us therefrom. And it is not for us to return
thereunto except that Allah our Lord so willed; everything our Lord
comprehendeth in His knowledge; in Allah we place our trust. O our
Lord! decide Thou between us and our people with truth, Thou art the
Best of the deciders. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 90. |
And the chiefs
of those who disbelieved amongst his people said: should ye follow
Shu'aib, lo! verily ye will be the losers. |
