[11:89]
And, O my people! Let not the schism with me
cause you to sin so that there befall you that which befell the folk of Noah
and the folk of Hud, and the folk of Salih; and the folk of Lot are not far off
from you.
[11:90]
Ask pardon of your Lord and then turn unto Him
(repentant). Lo! my Lord is Merciful, Loving.
[11:91]
They said: O Shu’eyb! We understand not much of
that thou tellest, and lo! we do behold thee weak
among us. But for thy family, we should have stoned thee, for thou art not
strong against us.
[11:92]
He said: O my people! Is my family more to be
honoured by you than Allah ? and
ye put Him behind you, neglected! Lo! my Lord
surroundeth what ye do.
[11:93]
And, O my people! Act according to your power,
lo! I (too) am acting. Ye will soon know on whom there cometh a doom that will
abase him, and who it is that lieth. And watch! Lo! I
am a watcher with you.
[11:94]
And when Our commandment came to pass We saved
Shu’eyb and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us; and the (Awful) Cry
seized those who did injustice, and morning found them prostrate in their
dwellings,
[11:95]
As though they had not
dwelt there. A far removal for
Midian, even as Thamud had been removed afar!
[11:96]
And verily We sent
Moses with Our revelations and a clear warrant
[11:97]
Unto Pharaoh and his
chiefs, but they did follow the command of Pharaoh, and the command of Pharaoh
was no right guide.
