11.Surah Hud
The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:
وَيَا
قَوْمِ لاَ يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ
شِقَاقِي أَن
يُصِيبَكُم
مِّثْلُ مَا
أَصَابَ...
11: 89. "And O my people!
let not my dissent (from you) cause you to sin, lest ye suffer a fate similar to that of
C1589. Finally, Shu'ayb appeals to them as man to man.
"Because I differ from you, do not think I do not love you or feel for you. Let it not drive you into obstinacy and sin. I see things that you do not. My vision takes in the fate of previous generations who sinned, and perished on account of their sins. Turn therefore to Allah in repentance."
...قَوْمَ نُوحٍ أَوْ قَوْمَ هُودٍ أَوْ قَوْمَ صَالِحٍ... ...
the people of Noah or of Hud or of Salih,
...وَمَا قَوْمُ لُوطٍ مِّنكُم بِبَعِيدٍ ﴿٨٩﴾
nor are the people of Lut far off from you!
C1590. The generation of Lut was not far off from the generation of Shu'ayb chronologically if Shu'ayb was only in the fourth generation from Abraham (see n. 1064 to 7:93). Nor was its habitat geographically far from that of Shu'ayb, as the Midianites wandered about from Sinai Peninsula to the Jordan valley (see n. 1053 to 7:85).
