Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Holy Quran Text. Translation & Commentary(the Example Commentary in Brief)(volume Four) Don't Admonish Us in Vain VERSE NO.136ِ140 In the previous verses, we read the meaningful advices of Hud, to the faithless people of A"d. Now we come to the futile, hollow, and faithless answers of his people:ِ ``They said:ِ ``It is alike to us whether you preach or do not preach.'' [ 464 ] They rejected their prophet and said to him; do not bother us and yourself.
Whether you preach us or not, we are not going to listen to you. We don't believe in what you say at all, because we have heard enough of that sort of ineffectual warnings that are naught except an old custom. You are only reviving the ancient superstitions. Who has come back from the world of deads to tell us what is what and who is who?:ِ ``Then they belied him and we destroyed them.'' كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ(( 141 )) 141- THAMUD BELIED THE MESSENGERS (OF GOD).
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ صَالِحٌ أَلاَ تَتَّقُونَ(( 142 )) 142- WHEN THEIR BROTHER SALIH SAID TO THEM:ِ ``WILL YOU NOT AVOID EVIL?'' إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ(( 143 )) 143- I AM A TRUSTWORTHY APOSTLE FOR YOU. فَاتَّقُوا اللهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ(( 144 )) 144- THEN BEWARE OF ALLAH AND OBEY ME. وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْر إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلاَّ عَلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ(( 145 )) 145- AND I ASK YOU NOT FOR ANY REWARD, THAT MY REWARD IS NOT EXCEPT UPON THE LORD OF ALL THE WORLDS.
أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِى مَا هَاهُنَا آمِنِينَ(( 146 )) 146- WILL YOU BE LEFT SECURE IN WHAT ARE HERE; [ 465 ] فِى جَنَّات وَعُيُون(( 147 )) 147- IN GARDENS AND SPRINGS. وَزُرُوع وَنَخْل طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌ(( 148 )) 148- AND SOWN FIELDS, AND PALM-TREES LADEN WITH SWEET FRUIT. وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتاً فَارِهِينَ(( 149 )) 149- AND YOU HEW HOUSES IN THE MOUNTAINS TO MAKE MERRY. فَاتَّقُوا اللهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ(( 150 )) 150- THEN BEWARE OF ALLAH AND OBEY ME.
وَلاَ تُطِيعُوا أَمْرَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ(( 151 )) 151- AND DO NOT OBEY THE ORDER OF PRODIGALS. الَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى الاَْرْضِ وَلاَ يُصْلِحُونَ(( 152 )) 152- THOSE WHO MAKE MISCHIEF IN THE LAND AND AMEND NOT.
