Translation of Verse 50-60

50. And to the people of 'Âd We sent their brother Hûd. He said, "O my people! Worship Allah. You have no god other than Him. You do nothing but fabricate lies ˹against Allah˺.

51. O my people! I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the One Who created me. Will you not then understand?

52. And O my people! Seek your Lord's forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. He will shower you with rain in abundance, and add strength to your strength. So do not turn away, persisting in wickedness."

53. They argued, "O Hûd! You have not given us any clear proof, and we will never abandon our gods upon your word, nor will we believe in you.

54. All we can say is that some of our gods have possessed you with evil." He said, "I call Allah to witness, and you too bear witness, that I ˹totally˺ reject whatever you associate

55. with Him ˹in worship˺. So let all of you plot against me without delay!

56. I have put my trust in Allah-my Lord and your Lord. There is no living creature that is not completely under His control. ⁴¹⁹ Surely my Lord's Way is perfect justice. ⁴²⁰

57. But if you turn away, I have already delivered to you what I have been sent with. My Lord will replace you with others. You are not harming Him in the least. Indeed, my Lord is a ˹vigilant˺ Keeper over all things."

58. When Our command came, We rescued Hûd and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us, saving them from a harsh torment.

59. That was 'Âd. They denied the signs of their Lord, disobeyed His messengers, ⁴²¹ and followed the command of every stubborn tyrant.

60. They were followed by a curse in this world, as they will be on the Day of Judgment. Surely 'Âd denied their Lord. So away with 'Âd, the people of Hûd.
