7 - Al-A'raf

قَالَ الْمَلَاُ الَّذِيْنَ اسْـتَكْبَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِہٖ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكَ يٰشُعَيْبُ وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَكَ مِنْ قَرْيَتِنَاۗ اَوْ لَتَعُوْدُنَّ فِيْ مِلَّتِنَا۝۰ۭ قَالَ اَوَلَوْ كُنَّا كٰرِہِيْنَ۝۸۸ۣ
Qala almalao allatheena istakbaroo min qawmihi lanukhrijannaka ya shuAAaybu waallatheena amanoo maAAaka min qaryatina aw lataAAoodunna fee millatina qala awalaw kunna kariheena

English

Ahmed Ali

The arrogant leaders of the people replied: "We shall drive you away from our land, O Shu'aib, and those who are with you, unless you come back to your faith." But he remarked: "Even if we are disgusted with it?

88

قَدِ افْتَرَيْنَا عَلَي اللہِ كَذِبًا اِنْ عُدْنَا فِيْ مِلَّتِكُمْ بَعْدَ اِذْ نَجّٰىنَا اللہُ مِنْہَا۝۰ۭ وَمَا يَكُوْنُ لَنَاۗ اَنْ نَّعُوْدَ فِيْہَاۗ اِلَّاۗ اَنْ يَّشَاۗءَ اللہُ رَبُّنَا۝۰ۭ وَسِعَ رَبُّنَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا۝۰ۭ عَلَي اللہِ تَوَكَّلْنَا۝۰ۭ رَبَّنَا افْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَاَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْفٰتِحِيْنَ۝۸۹
Qadi iftarayna AAala Allahi kathiban in AAudna fee millatikum baAAda ith najjana Allahu minha wama yakoonu lana an naAAooda feeha illa an yashaa Allahu rabbuna wasiAAa rabbuna kulla shayin AAilman AAala Allahi tawakkalna rabbana iftah baynana wabayna qawmina bialhaqqi waanta khayru alfatiheena

English

Ahmed Ali

We shall only be guilty of blaspheming God if we accept your way after the people of Noah, and gave you a greater increase in your stature. So think of the favours of God; you may haply be blessed."

89

وَقَالَ الْمَلَاُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِہٖ لَىِٕنِ اتَّبَعْتُمْ شُعَيْبًا اِنَّكُمْ اِذًا لَّـخٰسِرُوْنَ۝۹۰
Waqala almalao allatheena kafaroo min qawmihi laini ittabaAAtum shuAAayban innakum ithan lakhasiroona

English

Ahmed Ali

The chiefs among his people who did not believe said (to them): "If you follow Shu'aib and his way you will surely be ruined."

90

فَاَخَذَتْہُمُ الرَّجْفَۃُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِيْ دَارِہِمْ جٰثِمِيْنَ۝۹۱ۚۖۛ
Faakhathathumu alrrajfatu faasbahoo fee darihim jathimeena

English

Ahmed Ali

Then they were seized by an earthquake, and lay overturned on the ground in their homes in the morning.

91

الَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا شُعَيْبًا كَاَنْ لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيْہَا۝۰ۚۛ اَلَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا شُعَيْبًا كَانُوْا ہُمُ الْخٰسِرِيْنَ۝۹۲
Allatheena kaththaboo shuAAayban kaan lam yaghnaw feeha allatheena kaththaboo shuAAayban kanoo humu alkhasireena

English

Ahmed Ali

They who called Shu'aib a liar (disappeared) as though they had never existed; and those who called Shu'aib a liar were the ones who were ruined!

92

فَتَوَلّٰي عَنْہُمْ وَقَالَ يٰقَوْمِ لَقَدْ اَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسٰلٰتِ رَبِّيْ وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ۝۰ۚ فَكَيْفَ اٰسٰي عَلٰي قَوْمٍ كٰفِرِيْنَ۝۹۳ۧ
Fatawalla AAanhum waqala ya qawmi laqad ablaghtukum risalati rabbee wanasahtu lakum fakayfa asa AAala qawmin kafireena

English

Ahmed Ali

So Shu'aib turned away from them and said: "O people, I conveyed to you the message of my Lord, and warned you. (But you paid no heed). How can I grieve for a people who do not believe?"

93

وَمَاۗ اَرْسَلْنَا فِيْ قَرْيَۃٍ مِّنْ نَّبِيٍّ اِلَّاۗ اَخَذْنَاۗ اَہْلَہَا بِالْبَاْسَاۗءِ وَالضَّرَّاۗءِ لَعَلَّہُمْ يَضَّرَّعُوْنَ۝۹۴
Wama arsalna fee qaryatin min nabiyyin illa akhathna ahlaha bialbasai waalddarrai laAAallahum yaddarraAAoona

English

Ahmed Ali

There is not a region to which We sent a prophet and did not inflict upon its people adversity and hardship so that they may submit.

94

ثُمَّ بَدَّلْنَا مَكَانَ السَّيِّئَۃِ الْحَسَـنَۃَ حَتّٰي عَفَوْا وَّقَالُوْا قَدْ مَسَّ اٰبَاۗءَنَا الضَّرَّاۗءُ وَالسَّرَّاۗءُ فَاَخَذْنٰہُمْ بَغْتَۃً وَّہُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ۝۹۵
Thumma baddalna makana alssayyiati alhasanata hatta AAafaw waqaloo qad massa abaana alddarrao waalssarrao faakhathnahum baghtatan wahum la yashAAuroona

English

Ahmed Ali

But when We changed hardship to ease, and they rose and prospered, (they forgot Our favours) and said: "Our ancestors had also known suffering and joy." So We caught them unawares.

95

وَلَوْ اَنَّ اَہْلَ الْقُرٰۗي اٰمَنُوْا وَاتَّقَوْا لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْہِمْ بَرَكٰتٍ مِّنَ السَّمَاۗءِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَلٰكِنْ كَذَّبُوْا فَاَخَذْنٰہُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَكْسِبُوْنَ۝۹۶
Walaw anna ahla alqura amanoo waittaqaw lafatahna AAalayhim barakatin mina alssamai waalardi walakin kaththaboo faakhathnahum bima kanoo yaksiboona

English

Ahmed Ali

But if the people of these regions had believed and feared God, We would surely have showered on them blessings of the heavens and the earth; but they only denied, and We punished them for their deeds.

96

اَفَاَمِنَ اَہْلُ الْقُرٰۗي اَنْ يَّاْتِـيَہُمْ بَاْسُـنَا بَيَاتًا وَّہُمْ نَاۗىِٕمُوْنَ۝۹۷ۭ
Afaamina ahlu alqura an yatiyahum basuna bayatan wahum naimoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Are the people of the region so secure that they lie asleep unaware as Our punishment overtakes them?
