she was of those who remained behind.

84. And We rained upon them a rain; consider then what was the end of the guilty.

Section 11

85. And to Madyan (We sent) their brother Shu’aib. He said: O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him; clear proof indeed has come to you from your Lord, therefore give full measure and weight* and do not diminish to men their things, and do not make mischief in the land after its reform; this is better for you if you are believers:

86. And do not lie in wait in every path, threatening and turning away from Allah’s way him who believes in Him and seeking to make it crooked; and remember when you were few, then He multiplied you, and consider what was the end of the mischief-makers.

87. And if there is a party of you who believe in that with which I am sent, and another party who do not believe, then wait patiently until Allah judges between us; and He is the best of the Judges.

* It is to one’s own advantage, because of Divine Barakat.
