So when

came

Our Command

We made

its upside

its downside

and We rained

upon them

stones

of

baked clay

(in) layers

Marked

from

your Lord

And not

it

(is) from

the wrongdoers

far

And to

Madyan

their brother

Shuaib

He said

O my people

Worship

Allah

not

(is) for you

any

god

other than Him

And (do) not

decrease

(from) the measure

and the scale

Indeed, I

see you

in prosperity

but indeed, I

fear

for you

punishment

(of) a Day

all-encompassing

And O my people

Give full

measure

and weight

in justice

and (do) not

deprive

the people

(of) their things

and (do) not

act wickedly

in

the earth

spreading corruption

(What) remains

(from) Allah

(is) best

for you

if

you are

believers

And not

I am

over you

a guardian

They said

O Shuaib

Does your prayer

command you

that

we leave

what

worship

our forefathers

or

that

we do

concerning

our wealth

what

we will

Indeed you

surely you

(are) the forbearing

the right-minded

He said

O my people

Do you see

if

I am

on

a clear evidence

from

my Lord

and He has provided me

from Himself

a good provision

a good provision

And not

I intend

that

I differ from you

in

what

I forbid you

from it

Not

I intend

except

the reform

as much as I am able

as much as I am able

And not

(is) my success

except

with Allah

Upon Him

I trust

and to Him

I turn
