11 - Houd

مُّسَوَّمَۃً عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ۝۰ۭ وَمَا ہِيَ مِنَ الظّٰلِـمِيْنَ بِبَعِيْدٍ۝۸۳ۧ
Musawwamatan AAinda rabbika wama hiya mina alththalimeena bibaAAeedin

English

Ahmed Ali

Impressed with (the signs) of your Lord. And such (punishment) is not far for the (other) transgressers.

83

وَاِلٰي مَدْيَنَ اَخَاہُمْ شُعَيْبًا۝۰ۭ قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللہَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰہٍ غَيْرُہٗ۝۰ۭ وَلَا تَنْقُصُوا الْمِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيْزَانَ اِنِّىْۗ اَرٰىكُمْ بِخَيْرٍ وَّاِنِّىْۗ اَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ مُّحِيْطٍ۝۸۴
Waila madyana akhahum shuAAayban qala ya qawmi oAAbudoo Allaha ma lakum min ilahin ghayruhu wala tanqusoo almikyala waalmeezana innee arakum bikhayrin wainnee akhafu AAalaykum AAathaba yawmin muheetin

English

Ahmed Ali

We sent to Midian their brother Shu'aib. He said: "O my people, worship God; you have no other god but He. So do not give in short measure nor underweigh. I see you are prosperous, but I fear the doom of an overwhelming Day for you.

84

وَيٰقَوْمِ اَوْفُوا الْمِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيْزَانَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ اَشْـيَاۗءَہُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِيْنَ۝۸۵
Waya qawmi awfoo almikyala waalmeezana bialqisti wala tabkhasoo alnnasa ashyaahum wala taAAthaw fee alardi mufsideena

English

Ahmed Ali

So, O my people, weigh and measure with justness, and do not withhold things due to men, and do not spread corruption in the land, despoiling it.

85

بَقِيَّتُ اللہِ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ ￁مِنِيْنَ۝۰ۥۚ وَمَاۗ اَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ بِحَفِيْظٍ۝۸۶
Baqiyyatu Allahi khayrun lakum in kuntum mumineena wama ana AAalaykum bihafeethin

English

Ahmed Ali

That which is left to you by God is better, if you are true believers; yet I am not a warden over you."

86

قَالُوْا يٰشُعَيْبُ اَصَلٰوتُكَ تَاْمُرُكَ اَنْ نَّتْرُكَ مَا يَعْبُدُ اٰبَاۗؤُنَاۗ اَوْ اَنْ نَّفْعَلَ فِيْۗ اَمْوَالِنَا مَا نَشٰۗؤُا۝۰ۭ اِنَّكَ لَاَنْتَ الْحَلِيْمُ الرَّشِيْدُ۝۸۷
Qaloo ya shuAAaybu asalatuka tamuruka an natruka ma yaAAbudu abaona aw an nafAAala fee amwalina ma nashao innaka laanta alhaleemu alrrasheedu

English

Ahmed Ali

They said: "O Shu'aib, does your piety teach that we should abandon what our fathers worshipped, or desist from doing what we like with our goods? How gracious a man of discernment you are indeed!"

87

قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَيْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰي بَيِّنَۃٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّيْ وَرَزَقَنِيْ مِنْہُ رِزْقًا حَسَـنًا۝۰ۭ وَمَاۗ اُرِيْدُ اَنْ اُخَالِفَكُمْ اِلٰي مَاۗ اَنْہٰىكُمْ عَنْہُ۝۰ۭ اِنْ اُرِيْدُ اِلَّا الْاِصْلَاحَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ۝۰ۭ وَمَا تَوْفِيْقِيْۗ اِلَّا بِاؘ۝۰ۭ عَلَيْہِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَاِلَيْہِ اُنِيْبُ۝۸۸
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 alislaha ma istataAAtu wama tawfeeqee illa biAllahi AAalayhi tawakkaltu wailayhi oneebu

English

Ahmed Ali

He said: "O my people, think. I have a clear sign from my Lord, who has also given me a goodly provision, and I do not wish for myself what I forbid you: I only wish to reform you as best I can. My success is from God alone. In Him I have placed my trust, and to Him I turn.

88

وَيٰقَوْمِ لَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شِقَاقِيْۗ اَنْ يُّصِيْبَكُمْ مِّثْلُ مَاۗ اَصَابَ قَوْمَ نُوْحٍ اَوْ قَوْمَ ہُوْدٍ اَوْ قَوْمَ صٰلِحٍ۝۰ۭ وَمَا قَوْمُ لُوْطٍ مِّنْكُمْ بِبَعِيْدٍ۝۸۹
Waya qawmi la yajrimannakum shiqaqee an yuseebakum mithlu ma asaba qawma noohin aw qawma hoodin aw qawma salihin wama qawmu lootin minkum bibaAAeedin

English

Ahmed Ali

"O my people (I fear) lest your opposition to me should bring you the like of what befell the people of Noah or Hud or Saleh; and the people of Lot are not distant from you.

89

وَاسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۗا اِلَيْہِ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ رَبِّيْ رَحِيْمٌ وَّدُوْدٌ۝۹۰
Waistaghfiroo rabbakum thumma tooboo ilayhi inna rabbee raheemun wadoodun

English

Ahmed Ali

"Beg your Lord to forgive you, and turn to Him. Indeed my Lord is compassionate and loving."

90

قَالُوْا يٰشُعَيْبُ مَا نَفْقَہُ كَثِيْرًا مِّمَّا تَقُوْلُ وَاِنَّا لَنَرٰىكَ فِيْنَا ضَعِيْفًا۝۰ۚ وَلَوْلَا رَہْطُكَ لَرَجَمْنٰكَ۝۰ۡوَمَاۗ اَنْتَ عَلَيْنَا بِعَزِيْزٍ۝۹۱
Qaloo ya shuAAaybu ma nafqahu katheeran mimma taqoolu wainna lanaraka feena daAAeefan walawla rahtuka larajamnaka wama anta AAalayna biAAazeezin

English

Ahmed Ali

They said: "O Shu'aib, much of what you say is meaningless to us, and then (for sure) you are powerless among us. But for your clan we would have stoned you to death. You have no power over us.

91

قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اَرَہْطِيْۗ اَعَزُّ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّنَ اؘ۝۰ۭ وَاتَّخَذْتُمُوْہُ وَرَاۗءَكُمْ ظِہْرِيًّا۝۰ۭ اِنَّ رَبِّيْ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ مُحِيْطٌ۝۹۲
Qala ya qawmi arahtee aAAazzu AAalaykum mina Allahi waittakhathtumoohu waraakum thihriyyan inna rabbee bima taAAmaloona muheetun

English

Ahmed Ali

He said: "My clan seems mightier to you than God whom you neglect and push behind your backs. Surely what you do is within the power of my Lord.
