الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا شُعَیْبًا كَاَنْ لَّمْ یَغْنَوْا فِیْهَا ۛۚ اَلَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا شُعَیْبًا كَانُوْا هُمُ الْخٰسِرِیْنَ۝۹۲

They who called Shu´aib a liar (disappeared) as though they had never existed; and those who called Shu´aib a liar were the ones who were ruined!

فَتَوَلّٰی عَنْهُمْ وَ قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ لَقَدْ اَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسٰلٰتِ رَبِّیْ وَ نَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ ۚ فَكَیْفَ اٰسٰی عَلٰی قَوْمٍ كٰفِرِیْنَ۠۝۹۳

So Shu´aib turned away from them and said: "O people, I conveyed to you the message of my Lord, and warned you. (But you paid no heed). How can I grieve for a people who do not believe?"

وَ مَاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا فِیْ قَرْیَةٍ مِّنْ نَّبِیٍّ اِلَّاۤ اَخَذْنَاۤ اَهْلَهَا بِالْبَاْسَآءِ وَ الضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَضَّرَّعُوْنَ۝۹۴

There is not a region to which We sent a prophet and did not inflict upon its people adversity and hardship so that they may submit.

ثُمَّ بَدَّلْنَا مَكَانَ السَّیِّئَةِ الْحَسَنَةَ حَتّٰی عَفَوْا وَّ قَالُوْا قَدْ مَسَّ اٰبَآءَنَا الضَّرَّآءُ وَ السَّرَّآءُ فَاَخَذْنٰهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَّ هُمْ لَا یَشْعُرُوْنَ۝۹۵

But when We changed hardship to ease, and they rose and prospered, (they forgot Our favours) and said: "Our ancestors had also known suffering and joy." So We caught them unawares.

وَ لَوْ اَنَّ اَهْلَ الْقُرٰۤی اٰمَنُوْا وَ اتَّقَوْا لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ بَرَكٰتٍ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ لٰكِنْ كَذَّبُوْا فَاَخَذْنٰهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَكْسِبُوْنَ۝۹۶

But if the people of these regions had believed and feared God, We would surely have showered on them blessings of the heavens and the earth; but they only denied, and We punished them for their deeds.

اَفَاَمِنَ اَهْلُ الْقُرٰۤی اَنْ یَّاْتِیَهُمْ بَاْسُنَا بَیَاتًا وَّ هُمْ نَآىِٕمُوْنَؕ۝۹۷

Are the people of the region so secure that they lie asleep unaware as Our punishment overtakes them?

اَوَ اَمِنَ اَهْلُ الْقُرٰۤی اَنْ یَّاْتِیَهُمْ بَاْسُنَا ضُحًی وَّ هُمْ یَلْعَبُوْنَ۝۹۸

Or, are the people of the towns so unafraid that (even when) Our retribution comes upon them in the hours of the morning they remain engrossed in sport and play?

اَفَاَمِنُوْا مَكْرَ اللّٰهِ ۚ فَلَا یَاْمَنُ مَكْرَ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ۠۝۹۹

Can they remain secure against the plan of God? Only they feel secure against the plan of God who are certain of being ruined.

اَوَ لَمْ یَهْدِ لِلَّذِیْنَ یَرِثُوْنَ الْاَرْضَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ اَهْلِهَاۤ اَنْ لَّوْ نَشَآءُ اَصَبْنٰهُمْ بِذُنُوْبِهِمْ ۚ وَ نَطْبَعُ عَلٰی قُلُوْبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا یَسْمَعُوْنَ۝۱۰۰

Do not the people who inherited the earth from the (earlier) inhabitants perceive that We could afflict them too for their sins if We pleased, and put seals on their hearts that they may not hear (the voice of truth)?

تِلْكَ الْقُرٰی نَقُصُّ عَلَیْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآىِٕهَا ۚ وَ لَقَدْ جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ ۚ فَمَا كَانُوْا لِیُؤْمِنُوْا بِمَا كَذَّبُوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ یَطْبَعُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی قُلُوْبِ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ۝۱۰۱

These were the (earlier) habitations whose accounts We have given to you. Their apostles came with clear proofs, but they did not believe what they once denied. That is how God seals the hearts of those who do not believe.
