قَالَ الْمَلاَُ الَّذِینَ اسْتَکبَرُوا مِن قَوْمِهِ لَنُخْرِجَنَّکَ یَـشُعَیْبُ وَالَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا مَعَکَ مِن قَرْیَتِنَآ أَوْ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِى مِلَّتِنَا قَالَ أَوَ لَوْ کُنَّا کَـرِهِینَ (88)

88- THE HAUGHTY CHIEFTAINS OF HIS PEOPLE SAID: `WE SHALL EITHER EXPEL YOU, O, SHUAIB, AND THOSE WHO HAVE BELIEVED WITH YOU, FROM OUR TOWN; OR HAVE YOU RETURNED TO OUR CREED.'

HE SAID: `AND EVEN THOUGH WE DISLIKE IT!?'

قَدِ افْتَرَیْنَا عَلَى اللهِ کَذِباً إِنْ عُدْنَا فِى مِلَّتِکُم بَعْدَ إِذْ نَجَّْنا اللهُ مِنْهَا وَمَا یَکُونُ لَنَآ أَن نَّعُودَ فِیهَآ إِلاَّ أَن یَشَآءَ اللهُ رَبُّنَا وَسِعَ رَبُّنَا کُلَّ شَىْء عِلْماً عَلَى اللهِ تَوَکَّلْنَا رَبَّنَا افْتَحْ بَیْنَنَا وَبَیْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَأَنْتَ خَیْرُ الْفَـتِحِینَ (89)

89- WE MUST HAVE THEN FORGED A LIE AGAINST ALLAH, IF WE RETURN INTO YOUR CREED, AFTER ALLAH HAS SAVED US FROM IT.

IT CANNOT BE THAT WE TURN AGAIN TO IT, UNLESS ALLAH OUR LORD SO WILL. OUR LORD HAS EXTENDED EVERYTHING BY HIS KNOWLEDGE. IN GOD WE HAVE PUT OUR TRUST. OUR LORD! DECIDE BETWEEN US AND OUR PEOPLE IN TRUTH THAT YOU ARE THE BEST TO DECIDE.
