يا قَومِ لا أَسأَلُكُم عَلَيهِ أَجرًا ۖ إِن أَجرِيَ إِلّا عَلَى الَّذي فَطَرَني ۚ أَفَلا تَعقِلونَ

O my people, I do not ask you for it any reward. My reward is only from the one who created me. Then will you not reason?

وَيا قَومِ استَغفِروا رَبَّكُم ثُمَّ توبوا إِلَيهِ يُرسِلِ السَّماءَ عَلَيكُم مِدرارًا وَيَزِدكُم قُوَّةً إِلىٰ قُوَّتِكُم وَلا تَتَوَلَّوا مُجرِمينَ

And O my people, ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in showers and increase you in strength [added] to your strength. And do not turn away, [being] criminals."

قالوا يا هودُ ما جِئتَنا بِبَيِّنَةٍ وَما نَحنُ بِتارِكي آلِهَتِنا عَن قَولِكَ وَما نَحنُ لَكَ بِمُؤمِنينَ

They said, "O Hud, you have not brought us clear evidence, and we are not ones to leave our gods on your say-so. Nor are we believers in you.

إِن نَقولُ إِلَّا اعتَراكَ بَعضُ آلِهَتِنا بِسوءٍ ۗ قالَ إِنّي أُشهِدُ اللَّهَ وَاشهَدوا أَنّي بَريءٌ مِمّا تُشرِكونَ

We only say that some of our gods have possessed you with evil." He said, "Indeed, I call Allah to witness, and witness [yourselves] that I am free from whatever you associate with Allah

مِن دونِهِ ۖ فَكيدوني جَميعًا ثُمَّ لا تُنظِرونِ

Other than Him. So plot against me all together; then do not give me respite.

فَإِن تَوَلَّوا فَقَد أَبلَغتُكُم ما أُرسِلتُ بِهِ إِلَيكُم ۚ وَيَستَخلِفُ رَبّي قَومًا غَيرَكُم وَلا تَضُرّونَهُ شَيئًا ۚ إِنَّ رَبّي عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ حَفيظٌ

But if they turn away, [say], "I have already conveyed that with which I was sent to you. My Lord will give succession to a people other than you, and you will not harm Him at all. Indeed my Lord is, over all things, Guardian."

وَلَمّا جاءَ أَمرُنا نَجَّينا هودًا وَالَّذينَ آمَنوا مَعَهُ بِرَحمَةٍ مِنّا وَنَجَّيناهُم مِن عَذابٍ غَليظٍ

And when Our command came, We saved Hud and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us; and We saved them from a harsh punishment.

وَتِلكَ عادٌ ۖ جَحَدوا بِآياتِ رَبِّهِم وَعَصَوا رُسُلَهُ وَاتَّبَعوا أَمرَ كُلِّ جَبّارٍ عَنيدٍ

And that was 'Aad, who rejected the signs of their Lord and disobeyed His messengers and followed the order of every obstinate tyrant.

وَأُتبِعوا في هـٰذِهِ الدُّنيا لَعنَةً وَيَومَ القِيامَةِ ۗ أَلا إِنَّ عادًا كَفَروا رَبَّهُم ۗ أَلا بُعدًا لِعادٍ قَومِ هودٍ

And they were [therefore] followed in this world with a curse and [as well] on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, 'Aad denied their Lord; then away with 'Aad, the people of Hud.

وَإِلىٰ ثَمودَ أَخاهُم صالِحًا ۚ قالَ يا قَومِ اعبُدُوا اللَّهَ ما لَكُم مِن إِلـٰهٍ غَيرُهُ ۖ هُوَ أَنشَأَكُم مِنَ الأَرضِ وَاستَعمَرَكُم فيها فَاستَغفِروهُ ثُمَّ توبوا إِلَيهِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبّي قَريبٌ مُجيبٌ

And to Thamud [We sent] their brother Salih. He said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. He has produced you from the earth and settled you in it, so ask forgiveness of Him and then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is near and responsive."
