Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

‘Our Lord! Judge justly between us and our people,
and You are the best of judges!’
90 The elite of his people who were faithless said,
‘If you follow Shu‘ayb,
you will indeed be losers.’
91 So the earthquake seized them,
and they lay lifeless prostrate in their homes.
92 Those who impugned Shu‘ayb
became as if they had never lived there.
Those who impugned Shu‘ayb
were themselves the losers.
93 So he abandoned them [to their fate]
and said, ‘O my people!
Certainly I communicated to you
the messages of my Lord,
and I was your well-wisher.
So how should I grieve for a faithless lot?’

94 We did not send a prophet to any town
without visiting its people with stress and distress
so that they might entreat [for Allah’s forgiveness].
95 Then We changed the ill [conditions] to good
until they multiplied [in numbers] and said,
‘Adversity and ease befell our fathers [too].’
Then We seized them suddenly
while they were unaware.
96 If the people of the towns had been faithful
and Godwary,
We would have opened to them blessings
from the heaven and the earth.
