He said: "O my people! no wandering
is there in my (mind):
on the contrary I am a messenger from the Lord and Cherisher of the
Worlds! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
62. |
"I but fulfill towards you the
duties of my Lord's mission: sincere is my advice to you, and I know
from Allah something that you know not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
63. |
"Do you wonder that there has
come to you a message from your Lord, through a man of your own people,
to warn you - so that you may fear Allah and haply receive His Mercy?" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
64. |
But they rejected him, and We delivered
him, and those with him in the Ark: But We overwhelmed in the flood
those who rejected Our Signs. They were indeed a blind people! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
65. |
To the 'Ad people, (We
sent) Hud, one of their (own)
brethren: He said: "O my people! worship Allah! you have no other
god but Him. Will yet not fear
(Allah)?" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 66. |
The leaders of the unbelievers among
his people said: "Ah! we see you are an imbecile!" and "We
think you are a liar!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
67. |
He said: "O my people! I am not
imbecile, but (I am)
a messenger from the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
68. |
"I but fulfill towards your the
duties of my Lord's mission: I am to you a sincere and trustworthy
adviser. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 69. |
"Do you wonder that there has
come to you a message from your Lord through a man of your own people,
to warn you? call in remembrance that he made you inheritors after
the people of Noah, and gave you a stature tall among the nations.
Call in remembrance the benefits (you
have received) from Allah: that
so You may prosper." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 70. |
They said: "Come you to us, that
we may worship Allah alone, and give up the cult of our fathers? Bring
us what you threaten us with, if so be that you tell the truth!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
71. |
He said: "Punishment and wrath
have already come upon you from your Lord: dispute you with me over
names which you have devised - you and your fathers - without authority
from Allah? Then wait: I am amongst you, also waiting." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
72. |
We saved him and those who adhered
to him, by Our Mercy and We cut off the roots of those who rejected
Our Signs and did not believe. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 73. |
To the Thamud people (We
sent) Saleh, one of their own
brethren: he said: "O my people! worship Allah; you have no other
god but Him. Now has come unto you a clear (Sign)
from your Lord! This she-camel of Allah is a sign unto you: so leave
her to graze in Allah's earth, and let her come to no harm, or you
shall be seized with a grievous punishment. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
74. |
"And remember how He made you
inheritors after the ‘Ad people and gave you habitations in the land:
you build for yourselves palaces and castles in (open)
plains, and carve out homes in the mountains; so bring to remembrance
the benefits (you have received)
from Allah, and refrain from evil and mischief on the earth." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
75. |
The leaders of the arrogant party among
his people said to those who were reckoned powerless - those among
them who believe: "know you indeed that Saleh is a messenger
from his Lord?" They said: "We do indeed believe in the
revelation which has been sent through him." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
76. |
The arrogant party said: "For
our part, we reject what you believe in." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 77. |
Then they ham-strung the she-camel,
and insolently defied the order of their Lord, saying: "O Saleh!
bring about your threats, if you are a messenger (of
Allah)!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
78. |
So the earthquake took them unawares,
and they lay prostrate in their homes in the morning! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 79. |
So Saleh left them, saying: "O
my people! I did indeed convey to you the message for which I was
sent by my Lord: I gave you good counsel, but you love not good counselors!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 80. |
We also (sent)
Lut: he said to his people: "Do you commit lewdness such as no
people in creation (ever) committed before you? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
81. |
"For you practice your lusts on
men in preference to women: you are indeed a people transgressing
beyond bounds." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
82. |
And his people gave no answer but this:
they said, "drive them out of your city: these are indeed men
who want to be clean and pure!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 83. |
But We saved him and his family, except
his wife: she was of those who lagged behind. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
84. |
And We rained down on them a shower
(of brimstone):
then see what was the end of those who indulged in sin and crime! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
85. |
To the Madyan people We sent Shu'aib,
one of their own brethren: he said: "O my people! worship Allah;
You have no other god but Him. Now has come unto you a clear
(Sign)
from your Lord! Give just measure and weight, nor withhold from the
people the things that are their due; and do no mischief on the earth
after it has been set in order: that will be best for you, if you
have Faith. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
86. |
"And squat not on every road,
breathing threats, hindering from the path of Allah those who believe
in Him, and seeking in it something crooked; but remember how you
were little, and He gave you increase. And hold in your mind's eye
what was the end of those who did mischief. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
87. |
"And if there is a party among
you who believes in the message with which I have been sent, and a
party which does not believe, hold yourselves in patience until Allah
does decide between us: for He is the best to decide." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
88. |
The leaders, the arrogant party among
his people, said: "O Shu'aib! we shall certainly drive you out
of our city (you)
and those who believe with you: or else you (you
and they) shall have to return
to our ways and religion." He said: "What! even though we
do detest (them)? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
89. |
"We should indeed invent a lie
against Allah, if we returned to your ways after Allah has rescued
us there from; nor could we by any manner of means return thereto
unless it be as in the Will and plan of Allah, Our Lord. Our Lord
can reach out to the utmost recesses of things by His knowledge. In
Allah is our trust. Our Lord! Decide you between us and our people
in truth, for you are the best to decide." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 90. |
The leaders, the Unbelievers among
his people, said: "If you follow Shu'aib, be sure then you are
ruined!" |
