بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

And to Midian, We sent their brother Shuayb. He said, ‘My people, worship God. You have no god other than Him. Do not give short measure nor short weight. I see you are prospering, but I fear you will have torment on an overwhelming Day.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

My people, in fairness, give full measure and weight. Do not withhold from people things that are rightly theirs, and do not spread corruption in the land.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

What lasts with God is best for you, if you are believers: I am not your keeper.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They said, ‘Shuayb, does your prayer tell you that we should abandon what our forefathers worshipped and refrain from doing whatever we please with our own property? Indeed you are a tolerant and sensible man.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He answered, ‘My people, can you not see? What if I am acting on clear evidence from my Lord? He Himself has given me good provision: I do not want to do what I am forbidding you to do, I only want to put things right as far as I can. I cannot succeed without God’s help: I trust in Him, and always turn to Him.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

My people, do not let your opposition to me bring upon you a similar fate to the peoples of Noah or Hud or Salih; the people of Lot are not far away from you.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Ask forgiveness from your Lord, and turn to Him in repentance: my Lord is merciful and most loving.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They said, ‘Shuayb, we do not understand much of what you say, and we find you very weak in our midst. But for your family, we would have stoned you, for you have no great status among us.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He said, ‘My people, is my family stronger in your estimation than God? And have you put Him behind you? My Lord surrounds everything you do.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

My people, do whatever is within your power, and I will do likewise. Soon you will know who will receive a disgraceful punishment and who is a liar. Watch out, and so will I.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

When what We had ordained came about, in Our mercy We saved Shuayb and his fellow believers, but a mighty blast struck the wrongdoers. By morning they lay dead in their homes,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

as if they had never lived and flourished there. Yes, away with the people of Midian, just like the Thamud!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We also sent Moses, with Our signs and clear authority,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

to Pharaoh and his supporters, but they followed Pharaoh’s orders, and Pharaoh’s orders were misguided.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He will be at the forefront of his people on the Day of Resurrection, leading them down towards the Fire. What a foul drinking place to be led to!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They were pursued by God’s rejection in this life and will be on the Day of Resurrection, too. What a foul gift to be given!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We relate to you [Muhammad] such accounts of earlier towns: some of them are still standing; some have been mown down;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We did not wrong them; they wronged themselves. Their gods, which they called on beside God, were no use to them when what your Lord had ordained came about; they only increased their ruin.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Such is the punishment of your Lord for towns in the midst of their sins: His punishment is terrible and severe.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

There truly is a sign in this for anyone who fears the punishment of the Hereafter. That is a Day in which all people will be gathered together, a Day for all to see.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We are delaying it only for a specified period,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and when that Day comes, no soul will speak except by His permission, and some of them will be wretched and some happy.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

The wretched ones will be in the Fire, sighing and groaning,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

there to remain for as long as the heavens and earth endure, unless your Lord wills otherwise: your Lord carries out whatever He wills.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
