قَدِ ٱفْتَرَيْنَا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا إِنْ عُدْنَا فِى مِلَّتِكُم بَعْدَ إِذْ نَجَّىٰنَا ٱللَّهُ مِنْهَا ۚ وَمَا يَكُونُ لَنَآ أَن نَّعُودَ فِيهَآ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّنَا ۚ وَسِعَ رَبُّنَا كُلَّ شَىْءٍ عِلْمًا ۚ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا ٱفْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْفَٰتِحِينَ

"We would have invented against Allah a lie if we returned to your religion after Allah had saved us from it. And it is not for us to return to it except that Allah, our Lord, should will. Our Lord has encompassed all things in knowledge. Upon Allah we have relied. Our Lord, decide between us and our people in truth, and You are the best of those who give decision.""

اگر ہم اس کے بعد کہ خدا ہمیں اس سے نجات بخش چکا ہے تمہارے مذہب میں لوٹ جائیں تو بےشک ہم نے خدا پر جھوٹ افتراء باندھا۔ اور ہمیں شایاں نہیں کہ ہم اس میں لوٹ جائیں ہاں خدا جو ہمارا پروردگار ہے وہ چاہے تو (ہم مجبور ہیں) ۔ ہمارے پروردگار کا علم ہر چیز پر احاطہ کیے ہوئے ہے۔ ہمارا خدا ہی پر بھروسہ ہے۔ اے پروردگار ہم میں اور ہماری قوم میں انصاف کے ساتھ فیصلہ کردے اور تو سب سے بہتر فیصلہ کرنے والا ہے

Explanation

When the people of Midian went to extremes in their wrongful ways, God sent Shu‘ayb to them with His message. He exhorted them to adopt the way of righteousness and honesty in their dealings. With the help of clear arguments, He made them fully aware of the necessity for honesty. But they were not willing to accept the admonition. Not only that, they were not ready to accept the mission of Shu‘ayb. They distorted his preachings and created misunderstanding among the people about him. They even resorted to violent means to dissuade the people from supporting him. In the end the retribution of God descended upon them and they were destroyed. In the eyes of God, matters relating to the consideration of the rights of fellow human beings and honesty in mutual dealings are so important that a community, in spite of claiming to be believers, was destroyed. God is the best Judge and His judgement cannot be biased.
