Surah 11. Hud, Ayah 50
| وَإِلَىٰ عَادٍ أَخَاهُمْ هُودًا ۚ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ إِلَٰهٍ غَيْرُهُ ۖ إِنْ أَنْتُمْ إِلَّا مُفْتَرُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | wa- 'ilaa caadi(n) 'akhaa -hum hod(an) qaala yaa qawm -e ucbudo 'allaah maa la- -kum min 'ilaah ghayr -hu 'in 'antum 'illaa muftaron |
| Pickthall | : | And unto (the tribe of) Aad (We sent) their brother, Hud. He said: O my people! Serve Allah! Ye have no other God save Him. Lo! ye do but invent! |
| Asad | : | AND UNTO [the tribe of] 'Ad [We sent] their brother Hud.74 He said: "O my people! Worship God [alone] you have no deity other than Him. [As it is,] you are but inventors of falsehood!75 |
| Malik | : | To the people of 'Ad We sent their brother Hud. He said: "O my people! Worship Allah, you have no god but Him; otherwise you are just making things up. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | To the `Ad People (We sent) Hud one of their own brethren. He said: "O my people! worship Allah! ye have no other god but Him. (Your other gods) ye do nothing but invent! 1545 |
Note - 74For particulars relating to the name Hud as well as the
tribe of 'Ad, see surah {7}, note [48].

Note - 75I.e., inventors of alleged deities that have no reality
in themselves (cf. 7:71, which also relates to the
story of Hud). Regarding the term muftarun, see surah
{7}, note [119].
|
Note - 1545Cf. the story of Hud the Messenger of the 'Ad People, in
vii. 65-72. There the argument was how other Peoples
treated thier prophets as the Makkans were treating
Al-Mustafa. Here we see another point emphasized: the
insolence of the 'Ad in obstinately adhering to false
gods after the true God had been preached to them,
Allah's grace to them, and finally Allah's justice in
bringing them to book while the righteous were saved. The
locality in which the 'Ad flourished is indicated in n.
1040 to vii. 65.
