I delivered my Lord's message unto you and gave you good advice, but ye love not good advisers.” (7:79) 130 00:11:10,370 --> 00:11:17,730 “And (Salih) turned from them and said: O my people! I delivered my Lord's message unto you and gave you good advice, but ye love not good advisers.” (7:79) 131 00:11:19,289 --> 00:11:24,610 So Salih turned away from them when they rushed the punishment and hamstrung Allah's she-camel, 132 00:11:25,009 --> 00:11:26,610 departing from their land, 133 00:11:27,129 --> 00:11:28,409 and said to his people: 134 00:11:29,009 --> 00:11:34,570 "I have conveyed to you what my Lord commanded me to deliver of His commands and prohibitions," 135 00:11:35,210 --> 00:11:39,169 "and I advised you sincerely in delivering Allah's message to you," 136 00:11:39,809 --> 00:11:43,210 "but you do not like those who give you sincere advice for the sake of Allah," 137 00:11:43,809 --> 00:11:47,370 "because we forbade you from following your vain desires." 138 00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:03,419 And We sent Lut, when he said to his people: 139 00:12:03,820 --> 00:12:05,419 "Do you commit such an abomination" 140 00:12:06,460 --> 00:12:10,860 "as no one in the worlds has ever committed before you?" 141 00:12:11,460 --> 00:12:14,460 Their abomination was engaging in homosexual acts. 142 00:12:15,259 --> 00:12:25,659 "Indeed, you approach men with lust instead of women." 143 00:12:25,980 --> 00:12:31,980 O people, you approach men carnally out of lust, 144 00:12:32,379 --> 00:12:35,779 ignoring the women Allah has made lawful for you. 145 00:12:36,379 --> 00:12:41,220 You are indeed a transgressing people, committing what Allah has forbidden to you 146 00:12:41,620 --> 00:12:43,820 and disobeying Him through your conduct. 147 00:12:44,220 --> 00:12:49,220 Despite this, you approach men with lust instead of women; 148 00:12:49,620 --> 00:12:54,620 despite this, you approach men with lust instead of women, 149 00:12:54,740 --> 00:12:57,539 disobeying Him through this act of yours. 150 00:12:59,419 --> 00:13:08,019 “And the answer of his people was only that they said (one to another): Turn them out of your township. They are folk, forsooth, who keep pure.” (7:82) 151 00:13:08,419 --> 00:13:13,820 "Indeed, they are a people who keep themselves pure." 152 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,120 But the only response of Lut's people was 153 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,919 that they said to one another: 154 00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:23,519 "Expel Lut and his family from your town!" 155 00:13:24,039 --> 00:13:29,039 "For Lut and those who follow him are people who abstain from what we practice," 156 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,840 namely, approaching men carnally. 157 00:13:42,220 --> 00:13:47,220 So when the people of Lut refused the message of his Lord prohibiting that act upon them, 158 00:13:47,820 --> 00:13:50,820 We saved Lut and his family who believed in him, 159 00:13:51,340 --> 00:13:55,340 except his wife, who was among those who remained behind in Allah's punishment. 160 00:14:09,779 --> 00:14:13,580 And We rained down upon the people of Lut stones of baked clay, 161 00:14:14,059 --> 00:14:15,580 destroying them thereby. 162 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:21,720 So observe, O Muhammad, the end of those who denied Allah and His messenger, 163 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:28,240 committing sinful acts against Allah—see how terrible their fate was and what became of them. 164 00:14:52,909 --> 00:14:56,909 "Do not deprive people of their due goods," 165 00:15:00,909 --> 00:15:04,909 "and do not cause corruption in the land after its reformation." 166 00:15:05,909 --> 00:15:11,909 “And unto Midian (We sent) their brother, Shu'eyb. He said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other Allah save Him. Lo! a clear proof hath come unto you from your Lord; so give full measure and full weight and wrong not mankind in their goods, and work not confusion in the earth after the fair ordering thereof. That will be better for you, if ye are believers.” (7:85) 167 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,000 And to Madyan We sent their brother Shu'ayb, calling them to the obedience of Allah. 168 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000 Shu'ayb said to them: 169 00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:25,519 "O my people, worship Allah alone, who has no partner;" 170 00:15:26,519 --> 00:15:32,519 "you have no deity worthy of worship other than the Creator who created you." 171 00:15:33,519 --> 00:15:37,519 "A clear sign and proof has come to you from Allah confirming the truth of what I say." 172 00:15:38,519 --> 00:15:42,519 "Give full measure to people with the scale you measure with," 173 00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:45,580 "and give full weight with the balance you weigh with." 174 00:15:46,580 --> 00:15:50,580 "Do not deprive people of their rights, nor defraud them of their goods," 175 00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:54,100 "and do not commit sins in Allah's land" 176 00:15:55,100 --> 00:15:59,100 "after Allah set the earth right by sending the Prophet (peace be upon him) among you," 177 00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:04,100 "who forbids you from what is unlawful and detestable to Allah." 178 00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:07,100 "This which I have commanded you" 179 00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:11,100 "is far better for you in your present worldly life and in the Hereafter," 180 00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:15,100 "if you truly believe in what I tell you" 181 00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:19,809 "and in what I convey to you from Allah regarding His commands and prohibitions." 182 00:16:20,330 --> 00:16:31,330 “Lurk not on every road to threaten (wayfarers), and to turn away from Allah's path him who believeth in Him, and to seek to make it crooked. And remember, when ye were but few, how He did multiply you. And see the nature of the consequence for the corrupters!” (7:86) 183 00:16:32,330 --> 00:16:38,330 “Lurk not on every road to threaten (wayfarers), and to turn away from Allah's path him who believeth in Him, and to seek to make it crooked.
