یٰقَوْمِ لَاۤ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ اَجْرًا ؕ اِنْ اَجْرِیَ اِلَّا عَلَی الَّذِیْ فَطَرَنِیْ ؕ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ۝۵۱

O my people, I ask no recompense of you for it: My reward is with Him who created me. Will you not, therefore, understand?

وَ یٰقَوْمِ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ یُرْسِلِ السَّمَآءَ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّدْرَارًا وَّ یَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّةً اِلٰی قُوَّتِكُمْ وَ لَا تَتَوَلَّوْا مُجْرِمِیْنَ۝۵۲

O my people, beg your Lord to forgive you, and turn to Him in repentance. He will send down rain in torrents for you from the shies, and give you added strength. So do not turn away from Him as sinners."

قَالُوْا یٰهُوْدُ مَا جِئْتَنَا بِبَیِّنَةٍ وَّ مَا نَحْنُ بِتَارِكِیْۤ اٰلِهَتِنَا عَنْ قَوْلِكَ وَ مَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِیْنَ۝۵۳

They said: "O Hud, you have come to us with no proofs. We shall not abandon our gods because you say so, nor believe in you.

اِنْ نَّقُوْلُ اِلَّا اعْتَرٰىكَ بَعْضُ اٰلِهَتِنَا بِسُوْٓءٍ ؕ قَالَ اِنِّیْۤ اُشْهِدُ اللّٰهَ وَ اشْهَدُوْۤا اَنِّیْ بَرِیْٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُوْنَۙ۝۵۴

All we can say is that some of our gods have smitten you with evil." He replied:" I call God to witness, and you be witness too, that I am clear of what you associate (in your affairs)

مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ فَكِیْدُوْنِیْ جَمِیْعًا ثُمَّ لَا تُنْظِرُوْنِ۝۵۵

Apart from Him. Contrive against me as much as you like, and give me no respite.

اِنِّیْ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَی اللّٰهِ رَبِّیْ وَ رَبِّكُمْ ؕ مَا مِنْ دَآبَّةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ اٰخِذٌۢ بِنَاصِیَتِهَا ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّیْ عَلٰی صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ۝۵۶

I place my trust in God who is my Lord and your Lord. There is no creature that moves on the earth who is not held by the forelock firmly by Him. Verily the way of my Lord is straight.

فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقَدْ اَبْلَغْتُكُمْ مَّاۤ اُرْسِلْتُ بِهٖۤ اِلَیْكُمْ ؕ وَ یَسْتَخْلِفُ رَبِّیْ قَوْمًا غَیْرَكُمْ ۚ وَ لَا تَضُرُّوْنَهٗ شَیْـًٔا ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّیْ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ حَفِیْظٌ۝۵۷

If you turn away, then (remember) I have delivered to you the message I was sent with. My Lord will put other people in your place, and you will not be able to prevail against Him. Indeed my Lord keeps a watch over all things."

وَ لَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّیْنَا هُوْدًا وَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا ۚ وَ نَجَّیْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِیْظٍ۝۵۸

So, when Our command was issued We rescued Hud by Our grace, and those who believed, with him, and saved them from a dreadful doom.

وَ تِلْكَ عَادٌ ۙ۫ جَحَدُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ عَصَوْا رُسُلَهٗ وَ اتَّبَعُوْۤا اَمْرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِیْدٍ۝۵۹

These were the people of ´Ad who denied the word of their Lord and rebelled against His apostles, and followed the bidding of every perverse tyrant.

وَ اُتْبِعُوْا فِیْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْیَا لَعْنَةً وَّ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ عَادًا كَفَرُوْا رَبَّهُمْ ؕ اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّعَادٍ قَوْمِ هُوْدٍ۠۝۶۰

So they were accursed in the world, and they will be damned on the Day of Doom. Beware! The ´Ad turned away from their Lord.
