"The Holy Quran", tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934],

Sra Xi.: Hd (the Prophet Hd).

Section 8

84.
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

84.
To the Madyan people

(We sent) Shu'aib, one

Of their own brethren: he said:

"O my people! worship God:

Ye have no other god

But Him. And give not

Short measure or weight:


I see you in prosperity,

But I fear for you

The Penalty of a Day

That will compass (you) all round.

85.
Waya qawmi awfoo almikyala waAlmeezana biAlqisti wala tabkhasoo aLnnasa ashyaahum wala taAAthaw fee al-ardi mufsideenA

85.
\"And O my people! give

Just measure and weight,

Nor withhold from the people

The things that are their due:

Commit not evil in the land

With intent to do mischief.

86.
Baqiyyatu Allahi khayrun lakum in kuntum mu/mineena wama ana AAalaykum bihafee"th"In

86.
\"That which is left you

By God is best for you,

If ye (but) believed!

But I am not set

Over you to keep watch!"

87. Qaloo ya shuAAaybu asalatuka ta/muruka an natruka ma yaAAbudu abaona aw an nafAAala fee amwalina ma nashao innaka laanta alhaleemu aLrrasheedU

87.
They said: "O Shu'aib!

Does thy (religion of) prayer

Command thee that we

Leave off the worship which

Our fathers practised, or

That we leave off doing

What we like with our property?

Truly, thou art the one

That forbeareth with faults

And is right-minded!"

88. 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

88.
He said: "O my people!

See ye whether I hate

A Clear (Sign) from my Lord,

And He hath given me

Sustenance (pure and) good

As from Himself? I wish not,

In opposition to you, to do

That which I forbid you to do.

I only desire (your) betterment

To the best of my power;

And my success (in my task)

Can only come from God.

In Him I trust,

And unto Him I look.

89.
Waya qawmi la yajrimannakum shiqaqee an yuseebakum mithlu ma asaba qawma noohin aw qawma hoodin aw qawma salihin wama qawmu lootin minkum bibaAAeedIn

89.
\"And O my people!

Let not my dissent (from you)

Cause you to sin,

Lest ye suffer

A fate similar to that

Of the people of Noah

Or of Hd or of Slib,

Nor are the people of Lt

Far off from you!

90.
WaIstaghfiroo rabbakum thumma tooboo ilayhi inna rabbee raheemun wadoodUn

90.
\"But ask forgiveness

Of your Lord, and turn

Unto Him (in repentance):


For my Lord is indeed

Full of mercy and loving-kindness."

91. Qaloo ya shuAAaybu ma nafqahu katheeran mimma taqoolu wa-inna lanaraka feena daAAeefan walawla rahtuka larajamnaka wama anta AAalayna biAAazeezIn

91.
They said: "O Shu'aib!

Much of what thou sayest

We do not understand!

In fact among us we see

That thou hast no strength!

Were it not for thy family,

We should certainly

Have stoned thee!

For thou hast among us

No great position!"

92. Qala ya qawmi arahtee aAAazzu AAalaykum mina Allahi waIttakhathtumoohu waraakum "th"ihriyyan inna rabbee bima taAAmaloona muheetUn

92.
He said: "O my people!

Is then my family

Of more consideration with you

Than God? For ye cast Him

Away behind your backs

(With contempt). But verily

My Lord encompasseth

On all sides

All that ye do!

93.
Waya qawmi iAAmaloo AAala makanatikum innee AAamilun sawfa taAAlamoona man ya/teehi AAathabun yukhzeehi waman huwa kathibun waIrtaqiboo inne maAAakum raqeebUn

93. \"And O my people!

Do whatever ye can:


I will do (my part):

Soon will ye know

Who it is on whom

Descends the Penalty

Of ignominy, and who

Is a liar!

And watch ye!

For I too am watching

With you!"

94. Walamma jaa amruna najjayna shuAAayban waAllatheena amanoo maAAahu birahmatin minna waakhathati allatheena "th"alamoo aLssayhatu faasbahoo fee diyarihim jathimeenA

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 wrong-doers, and they

Lay prostrate in their homes

By the morning,--

95.
Kaan lam yaghnaw feeha ala buAAdan limadyana kama baAAidat thamoodU

95.
As if they had never

Dwelt and flourished there!

Ah! Behold! How the Madyan

Were removed (from sight)

As were removed the Thamd!
