Sura Hud from 54 to 62


54. « All that we say is that some of our gods ( false deities ) have seized you with evil ( madness ) . » He said: « I call Allâh to witness and bear you witness that I am free from that which you ascribe as partners in worship,»
55. With Him ( Allâh ) . So plot against me, all of you, and give me no respite.
56. « I put my trust in Allâh, my Lord and your Lord! There is not a moving ( living ) creature but He has the grasp of its forelock. Verily, my Lord is on the Straight Path ( the truth ) .»
57. « So if you turn away, still I have conveyed the Message with which I was sent to you. My Lord will make another people succeed you, and you will not harm Him in the least. Surely, my Lord is Guardian over all things. »
58. And when Our Commandment came, We saved Hûd and those who believed with him by a Mercy from Us, and We saved them from a severe torment.
59. Such were ‘Âd ( people ) . They rejected the Ayât ( proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc. ) of their Lord and disobeyed His Messengers, and followed the command of every proud obstinate ( oppressor of the truth, from their leaders ) .
60. And they were pursued by a curse in this world and ( so they will be ) on the Day of Resurrection. No doubt! Verily, ‘Âd disbelieved in their Lord. So away with ‘Âd, the people of Hûd.
61. And to Thamûd ( people We sent ) their brother Sâlih. He said: « O my people! Worship Allâh: you have no other ilâh ( god ) but Him. He brought you forth from the earth and settled you therein, then ask forgiveness of Him and turn to Him in repentance. Certainly, my Lord is Near ( to all by His Knowledge ) , Responsive. »
62. They said: « O Sâlih! You have been among us as a figure of good hope ( and we wished for you to be our chief ) till this [ new thing which you have brought that we leave our gods and worship your God ( Allâh ) Alone ] ! Do you ( now ) forbid us the worship of what our fathers have worshipped? But we are really in grave doubt as to that to which you invite us ( monotheism ) . »
