كَذَّبَ أَصۡحَٰبُ لۡـَٔيۡكَةِ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
The residents of the Forest rejected the messengers
إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ شُعَيۡبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
when Shu’aib said to them, “Will you not fear ˹Allah˺?
إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ
I am truly a trustworthy messenger to you.
فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So fear Allah, and obey me.
وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds.
۞أَوۡفُواْ ٱلۡكَيۡلَ وَلَا تَكُونُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡمُخۡسِرِينَ
Give full measure, and cause no loss ˹to others˺.
وَزِنُواْ بِٱلۡقِسۡطَاسِ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمِ
Weigh with an even balance,
وَلَا تَبۡخَسُواْ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشۡيَآءَهُمۡ وَلَا تَعۡثَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُفۡسِدِينَ
and do not defraud people of their property. Nor go about spreading corruption in the land.
وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَكُمۡ وَٱلۡجِبِلَّةَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
And fear the One Who created you and ˹all˺ earlier peoples.”
