S:  Marked (for punishment) with your Lord and it is not far off from the unjust.

011.084 Y:  To the Madyan People (We sent) Shu’aib, one of their own brethren:  he said:  “O my people! worship Allah:  Ye have no other god but Him.  And give not short measure or weight:  I see you in prosperity, but I fear for you the penalty of a day that will compass (you) all round.”

P:  And unto Midian (We sent) their brother Shu’eyb.  He said:  O my people!  Serve Allah.  Ye have no other Allah save Him!  And give not short measure and short weight.  Lo!  I see you well-to-do, and lo!  I fear for you the doom of a besetting Day.

S:  And to Madyan (We sent) their brother Shu’aib.  He said:  O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than He, and do not give short measure and weight:  surely I see you in prosperity and surely I fear for you the punishment of an all-encompassing day.

011.085 Y:  “And O my people! give just measure and weight, nor withhold from the people the things that are their due:  commit not evil in the land with intent to do mischief.”

P:  O my people!  Give full measure and full weight in justice, and wrong not people in respect of their goods.  And do not evil in the earth, causing corruption.

S:  And, O my people! give full measure and weight fairly, and defraud not men their things, and do not act corruptly in the land, making mischief: 

011.086 Y:  “That which is left you by Allah is best for you, if ye (but) believed! but I am not set over you to keep watch!”

P:  That which Allah leaveth with you is better for you if ye are believers; and I am not a keeper over you.

S:  What remains with Allah is better for you if you are believers, and I am not a keeper over you.

011.087 Y:  They said:  “O Shu’aib!  Does thy (religion of) prayer command thee that we leave off the worship which our fathers practised, or that we leave off doing what we like with our property? truly, thou art the one that forbeareth with faults and is right-minded!”

P:  They said:  O Shu’eyb!  Doth thy way of prayer command thee that we should forsake that which our fathers (used to) worship, or that we (should leave off) doing what we will with our own property.  Lo! thou art the mild, the guide to right behaviour.

S:  They said:  O Shu’aib! does your prayer enjoin you that we should forsake what our fathers worshipped or that we should not do what we please with regard to our property?  Forsooth you are the forbearing, the right-directing one.

011.088 Y:  He said:  “O my people! see ye whether I have a Clear (Sign) from my Lord, and He hath given me sustenance (pure and) good as from Himself?  I wish not, in opposition to you, to do that which I forbid you to do.  I only desire (your) betterment to the best of my power; and my success (in my task) can only come from Allah.  In Him I trust, and unto Him I look.”
