176. The people of Aikah 148 denied the messenger (of Allah),
177. When Shuaib said to them: “Do you not fear Allah?
178. “I am a trustworthy messenger of Allah for you.
179. “So fear Allah, and obey me.
180. “I do not ask of you any recompense therefore, my recompense is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.
181. “Give full measure, and be not of those who give less 149 (than the due).
182. ”And weigh with even balance.150
183. “And do not cheat people in their things, and do not corrupt the land with evil.151
184. “Fear Him who created you and also the generations that have gone before you.
185. “They said: “Verily, you are of the bewitched.
186. “You are but a human being like us, and verily, we consider you to be a liar.
187. “Bring down upon us a part of heaven, if you are truthful.”152
188. He said: “My Lord is best aware of what you do.”153
189. But they denied him, and eventually the punishment of the Day of Darkness seized them.154 Verily it was the punishment of an overwhelming day.
190. In that is a great sign,155 but many of them do not believe.
191. And verily, your Lord; He is the Mighty, the Merciful.
148. For explanation, please see Surah Hijr, Note No.77.
149. For explanation, please see Surah A’raf, Note No.137, and Surah Mutaffifeen, Note No.1.
150. It Is learnt that to use a correct and even balance and to be honest in business dealings is the demand of the morality as also it is an important aspect of the shariah of the prophets of Allah (peace be upon them).
In modern times various kinds of scales are used for weighing things, in which the most developed is the Electronic scale. But every kind of balance or scale must be even and correct, so that less than what is due in weight should not be given.
151. That is: Do not indulge in any kind of corruption in the world. Every kind of evil and wrong-doing is termed as corruption.
152. That is: If you are a true prophet, then show us a miracle in the form of a segment of the heaven falling on us.
153. That is: If the punishment does not overtake you now, do not think that Allah is not aware of your evil acts. He knows of all your doing and He will take due notice of that.
154. They had asked for punishment in the form of a segment of heaven falling on them, so the punishment visited them in the form of heavy dark clouds. In Surah Hood the punishment of the community of Shuaib is described as a terrific bang, and in Surah A’raf it is described as shaking scourge. It seems that at first clouds covered as shaking scourge. It seems that at first clouds covered them, and they thought that this umbrella would give them cover in the gruelling heat, but afterwards lightning from the cloud struck them with great thunder, which shook them and caused them to fall on their faces, and they were destroyed.
