They said: "O Shu'aib! Much of
what you say we do not understand! In fact, among us we see that you
have no strength! Were it not for your family, we should certainly
have stoned you! For you have among us no great position!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 92. |
He said: "O my people! Is then
my family of more consideration with you than Allah? For you cast
Him away behind your backs (with
contempt). But verily my Lord
encompasses on all sides all that you do! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 93. |
"And O my people! Do whatever
you can: I will do (my part):
soon will you know who it is on whom descends the Penalty of ignominy,
and who is a liar! And watch you! For I too am watching with you!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 94. |
When Our decree issued, We saved Shu'aib
and those who believed with him, by (special)
Mercy from Ourselves: but the (mighty) Blast did seize the wrongdoers,
and they lay prostrate in their homes by the morning-- |
|
|
|
|
|
| 95. |
As if they had never dwelt and flourished
there! Ah! behold! How the Madyan were removed (from
sight) as were removed the Thamud! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 96. |
And We sent Moses, with Our Clear (Signs)
and an authority manifest, |
|
|
|
|
|
| 97. |
Unto Pharaoh and his Chiefs: but they
followed the command of Pharaoh, and the command of Pharaoh was no
right (guide). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 98. |
He will go before his people on the
Day of Judgment, and lead them into the Fire (as
cattle are led to water): but
woeful indeed will be the place to which they are led! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 99. |
And they are followed by a curse in
this (life) and on the Day of Judgment: and woeful is the gift which
shall be given (unto them)! |
|
|
|
|
|

These are some of the stories of communities
which We relate unto you: of them some are standing, and some have
been mown down (by the sickle
of time). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
101. |
It was not We that wronged them: they
wronged their own souls: the deities, other than Allah, whom they
invoked, profited them no whit when there issued the decree of your
Lord: nor did they add aught (to
their lot) but perdition! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 102. |
Such is the chastisement of your Lord
when He chastises communities in the midst of their wrong: grievous,
indeed, and severe is His chastisement. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 103. |
In that is a Sign for those who fear
the Penalty of the Hereafter: that is a Day for which mankind will
be gathered together: that will be a Day of Testimony. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
104. |
Nor shall We delay it but for a term
appointed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
105. |
The day it arrives, no soul shall speak
except by His leave: of those
(gathered) some will be wretched
and some will be blessed. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 106. |
Those who are wretched shall be in
the Fire: there will be for them therein (nothing
but) the heaving of sighs and
sobs: |
|
|
|
|
|
| 107. |
They will dwell therein for all the
time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord will:
for your Lord is the (sure)
Accomplisher of what He plans. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 108. |
And those who are blessed shall be
in the Garden: they will dwell therein for all the time that the heavens
and the earth endure, except as your Lord will: a gift without break |
|
|
|
|
|
| 109. |
Be not then in doubt as to what these
men worship. They worship nothing but what their fathers worshipped
before (them):
but verily We shall pay them back (in
full) their portion without
(the least)
abatement. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 110. |
We certainly gave the Book to Moses,
but differences arose therein: had it not been that a Word had gone
forth before from your Lord, the matter would have been decided between
them: but they are in suspicious doubt concerning it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
111. |
And, of a surety, to all will your
Lord pay back (in full the recompense)
of their deeds: for He knows well all that they do. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
112. |
Therefore stand firm (in
the straight Path) as you are
commanded-- you and those who with you turn (unto
Allah); and transgress not (from
the Path); for He sees well
all that you do. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 113. |
And incline not to those who do wrong,
or the Fire will seize you; and you have no protectors other than
Allah, nor shall you be helped. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
114. |
And establish regular prayers at the
two ends of the day and at the approaches of the night: for those
things that are good remove those that are evil: be that the word
of remembrance to those who remember (their
Lord): |
|
|
|
|
|
|
115. |
And be steadfast in patience; for verily
Allah will not suffer the reward of the righteous to perish. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
116. |
Why were there not, among the generations
before you, persons possessed of balanced good sense, prohibiting
(men)
from mischief in the earth--except a few among them whom We saved
(from harm)?
But the wrongdoers pursued the enjoyment of the good things of life
which were given them, and persisted in sin. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
117. |
Nor would your Lord be the One to destroy
communities for a single wrongdoing if its members were likely to
mend. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
118. |
If your Lord had so willed, He could
have made mankind one People: but they will not cease to dispute, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
119. |
Except those on whom He has bestowed
His Mercy: and for this did He create them: and the Word of your Lord
shall be fulfilled: "I will fill Hell with Jinns and men all
together." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 120. |
All that We relate to you of the stories
of the messengers--with it We make firm your heart: in them there
comes to you the Truth, as well as an exhortation and a message of
remembrance to those who believe. |
