Surah Hud

Mention of Prophet Hud

1- Elif, Lâm, Râ. Every being is a book with solid evidence. In every being, the truths are shown indetail. The truths belong to the One who rules over all beings, who informs of the truths from allbeings.

2- Say: I am the one who explains to you His truths, warns you and gives you good news, so that youdo not become servants of conjecture instead of Allah.

3- Realize the forgiveness of the One who created you, then turn to Him so that you will not repeat themistakes you have made. Spend the rest of your time in a good way, benefiting from the truths. He isthe One who qualified you, the Owner of the attributes in everything. If you turn away from the truths,I fear that you will be in great distress.

4- Your source is only Allah, and He is the Power in everything.

5-Are not those who avoid seeing the realities within themselves, who remain in ignorance? Are notthose who always remain in appearances, who avoid seeing the Owner of wisdom in what is hiddenand what is apparent? Surely, He is the Owner of wisdom, the Owner of hearts.

6-The attributes of all beings on earth belong only to Allah, and He has the knowledge of the balanceof all beings and the beautiful arrangement of all beings. All this is in the clear book of existence.

7-It is He who created what is in the heavens and what is on the earth with order and beauty, and Heencompasses all places with wisdom. Always strive to realize the truths. Always do good deeds. If yousay to them, “You will certainly be in life after you have reached the secret of death,” those whodisbelieve and ignore the truths will say, “Surely this is a clear deception.”

8-If they abandon understanding Us, then surely they will have trouble. While those communities havetime to understand the truths, they will say, “Those truths are far from us.” Are not the truths presentedto them at every moment from every being? They could not find a response from the truths presentedto them and they clung to their own ignorance and did not care about the truths.

9- Surely, if a person feels a sense of Our mercy and then move himself away from that sense, he willindeed ignore those truths and fall into despair.

10-And if a trouble touches him, and then he feels Our blessings, he will surely say: Evil has departedfrom me. Indeed, he is arrogant.

11-But those who are patient and work rightly, they will be forgiven and they will have a great reward.

12-And you will not leave aside what has been revealed because your heart is troubled by them saying,“Treasures should have been given to him, or angels should have come with him.” You are only awarner, and Allah has authority over all things.

13-They say he invented it. Say to those who slander, “If you claim to be telling the truth, call uponthose whom you deem powerful besides Allah, and bring some of his words, if you are truthful.

14-And they will not respond to you after this. So, know that you have been given nothing except theknowledge of Allah. There is no God but He. Would you still surrender with all your being and not bein peace and tranquility?

15-Whoever seeks the worldly life and its adornment, there they will find the reward of what theyhave worked for, but they will not take account of the realities therein.

16-Those will remain only in the burning of ignorance, and what they have done therein is nothing butloss, and their deeds are in vain.

17-Whoever after this is upon the clear proofs of his Lord and follows Him who is present at all times,and follows the Book of Truth, as they made Moses their leader before, then those are the believers inthe realities, the ones who are shown mercy. And whoever disregards and conceals the realities, thenhe will remain in divisions, and his abode will be the fire. So, do not be in doubt about the realitiesafter this. Indeed, they are the realities of the One who created you. But most of the people do notbelieve.

18-Who is more unjust than he who speaks falsehood about Allah and spreads lies? These are the liesthat they tell about their Lord. They say, “We know.” These are the ones who lied about the One whocreated them. Are not the wrongdoers those who fail to realize Allah and are far from mercy?

19-Those who hinder those who are in the way of Allah and distort the truths according to their ownignorance, and they ignore the truths and deny them.

20-Those are the ones who will not understand their helplessness on earth, and they take for friendsother than Allah what is based on conjecture. Their distress will increase, and they will not hear thetruth, nor will they see it.

21-Those are the ones who are lost, and they will turn away from the truth with what they fabricate.

22-Surely, they will not find any reward from the truth, and they will be the losers.

23-Surely, those who believe and work rightly and are devoted to their Lord with love, they will be atpeace, always in that state.

24-Is the situation of those who cannot see or hear the truth the same as that of those who see and hearthe truth? So do you not think about the truths and look at this world with the truths you have reached?

25-Indeed, Noah came out to his people to tell them about Us. I am a warner to you, making the truthclear.

26-He said, “Do not become servants of conjecture instead of Allah, for I fear that you will be inpainful distress.”

27-And the chiefs of his people, who did not accept the truth, said, “We do not see you as anything butmortals like us, nor do we see that those who follow you are anything but weak, humble, simpleminded,and we do not see that you are righteous towards us. On the contrary, we think that you areone of the liars.”

28-He said, “O my people! If I am upon the clear proofs of my Lord and I am upon His mercy, andthen I tell you about the truths which you do not know, will you not see them? Will you look uponthose matters with hatred?

29-O my people! I do not ask for any reward from you. The reward is only from Allah, and I will notdrive out those who believe. They are those who seek to understand Him who created them. But I seeyou in ignorance.

30-O my people! How can I drive out from the path of Allah those who seek help from me? So, doyou not think about the truths and look at this world with the truths you have reached?

31-I do not say to you that the treasures of Allah are with me, nor do I know the unseen, unknownworld, nor do I say that I have power over you. I do not speak disparaging words about those who arelike you, nor do I say that Allah will not give them good, but I know that Allah is the Owner ofwisdom in the outer. If I do not say these, I will surely be among the wrongdoers.

32-They said: O Noah, you have fought us much, you have struggled much. If you claim to be tellingthe truth, then show us what you said.

33-He said: If you want to understand the truths, look at what is in you from Allah, and you are not theOwner of your power.

34-Even if I want to advise you, my advice will not benefit you as long as you deviate from the truthsof Allah. It is He who created you, and to Him you will be returned.

35-Do they say that you fabricated those truths? Say: If I fabricated them, then my fault is on me, and Iam free from your evil.

36-It was revealed to Noah: Indeed, none will believe except those who believe in them. So do notdespair of what they do.

37-Proceed with Our revelation in unity, and know that there is no one to call upon from any beingexcept Me. And the wrongdoers, indeed, are drowning in their ignorance.

38-He has always worked in the path of truths. All the leaders of his people were mocking himharshly. Say: If you do not heed us, then we will not heed you, just as you do not heed us.

39-Now you know soon to whom that humiliating punishment will come and who will remain in it.

40-When he realized Our functioning in all of existence and that Our light had encompassed everyplace, We informed him: Convey the knowledge of the truths to those who are on the same path withyou, and those who have promised to follow the truth beforehand and those who believe are yourfamily. But only a few were with him, the others did not believe.

41-He said to those who followed the truths: Know that you have all the signs of Allah and alwaysfollow His path, always acting in obedience to Him. Indeed, He is the One who created me, theForgiver, the Merciful.

42-He and those who followed him advanced in a state of exaltation in the realization of the truths.Noah called to his son who was divided: O my son! Come and be with us, strive for the truths and donot be with those who ignore and cover up the truths.

43-He said: I will be with those who are exalted, they will protect me with their knowledge. Noahsaid: You will not be able to protect yourself from sins, then you will not be able to understand thefunctionings of Allah in every being, you will not be among those who realize His mercy, you willremain in that state of tide of those who cover up the truths. Thus, he became one of those whodrowned in their own ignorance.

44-It has been reported: O you who are in those stations! Realize the wisdom that is in yourselves. Oyou who enjoy the sublime stations! Preserve the wisdom and be in accordance with the decree of the
functioning, and act with seriousness. It has been reported: There is a turning away from the truth forthe wrongdoers.

45-Noah called to his Lord and said: My Lord! Surely my son is from my family and surely Yourpromise is true and You are the One who rules over all beings with Your decrees.

46-We have reported: O Noah! Surely he is not from your family. Indeed, what he does is not a gooddeed. So, do not seek the thing which does not contain wisdom on Me. I am making known the truthsfrom every being at every moment, so that you may not be among the ignorant.

47-Noah said: My Lord! I seek refuge with You from seeking that which does not contain wisdom. If Iam one of those who do not understand Your forgiveness and do not understand Your mercy in me, Iwill be among the losers.

48-We have informed you: O Noah! Understand Our blessings in you and be in Our salvation. Hastentowards the truths with the communities that are with you and let them hasten to benefit. Then thosewho do not understand Us will feel a painful punishment.

49-Here are the news of which you do not know. We inform you of them. You and your people did notknow their truths before. So be patient. Indeed, for those who guard themselves from evil and do notassociate others with Him, there is attainment of the good.

50-Hud said to his brothers from the people of Ad: O my people! Be servants of Allah, there is nopower for you except Him. You believe only those who speak falsehood.

51-O my people! I do not ask you for any reward for what I have told you. Only He who will rewardme is my Creator. Do you not understand?

52-O my people! Repent for your sins by regretting them, and never to do them again, and understandthe forgiveness of Him who created you. The truths of the Sublime Realm are being presented to youone after another. But be strengthened by these truths so that your strength may increase. Do not turnaway like those who remain in evil.

53-They said: O Hud! You have not brought us clear proofs. We will not abandon our Gods becauseof your words, and we do not trust in you.

54-We only say: The evil of some of our Gods has struck you. Hud said: I have surrendered to Allah,who is present everywhere, and I am free from what you associate with Him.

55-You all have abandoned Him and turned to conjecture and lies, so you have not seen what I haveseen.

56-I have surrendered myself with all my being to Allah, who created me and created you. There is nobeing but He who has taken hold of its being with all its manifestations. I am on the straight path ofHim who created me.

57-After this, even if you turn away from the truths, I have made clear to you the truths that I haveattained. After you, the truths of my Lord will be made clear to other communities, and you will notharm those who understand them. Surely, my Lord is the Keeper of all things.

58-When Hud understood that the work was Ours, he found salvation in Us, and those who believedwith him understood Our mercy, and they passed through a clear distress, and they understood Us andfound salvation.

59-But the people of Ad rejected the verses of the Lord and rebelled against the One who showed thetruth, and all of them stubbornly followed the decrees of their tyranny.

60-They followed the pleasures of the world and turned away from the mercy of the truths until theydied. Were they not of those who ignored the truths of the Lord and disbelieved? Didn’t the people ofAd turn away from the truths that Hud presented?

61-And to the people of Thamud, their brother Salih said, O my people, be servants of Allah. There isno power for you except in Him. He is the One who created you on earth and qualified you therein.Now, repent for the mistakes you have made, so as not to repeat them again, and understand theforgiveness of the One who created you. Indeed, the One who created you is with you at all times.

62-They said: O Salih! We had high hopes for you when you were among us before. Do you forbid usfrom worshipping what our fathers worshipped? Indeed, we are in doubt about what you invite us to.

63-He said: O my people! If I am upon the clear proofs of my Lord and I am upon His mercy, will younot see this? And if I fall into ignorance towards it, who can help me besides Allah? Then when Ifollow your ways, I do not increase in anything except being far from the truth.

64-O my people! This is the female camel that Allah has presented to you, in which are signs for you.So, leave her to feed in the earth of Allah and do not touch her with evil, then a great distress willbefall you.

65-But they slaughtered the camel. Thus he said: Are you seeking gain for the rest of your lives in theplaces you are in? The promises that are not false will be fulfilled.

66-So, when he understood that the righteous work belongs to Us, he found salvation in Us, and thosewho believed with him were delivered to Us with mercy and were saved from humiliation. Surely, theOne who created you is the One who holds all creations together, the Exalted Owner of all attributes.

67-But the wrongdoers clung to their own ignorance and could not hear the divine voice. So, theybecame losers in their places.

68-Did they not mock in their places? Did not the people of Thamud ignore the One who createdthem? Did not the people of Thamud stay away from the truth?

69-And when those who showed us Our truths came to Abraham with news that gave hope, they said:Peace be with you. Abraham said: Peace be with you. So, he immediately set out on a quest.

70-So, when he saw their strength, he did not lean towards their aloofness, but he felt them withcaution. They said: Do not be afraid, indeed, We have come out for the people of Lot.

71-Abraham understood the functionings in him, the one who keeps all beings alive, so, he was happy.Then We gave him good news of Isaac, and after Isaac, Jacob.72-He said: This is a difficult path, I am helpless, this is a path of exaltation and guidance. Indeed, thisis amazing.

73-They said: Do not wonder, all matters belong to Allah. Mercy belongs to Allah, and He is theOwner of all qualities upon you, the Owner of existence. Indeed, He is the Owner of all qualities inexistence, the One who sustains all beings with His Essence.

74-So, when Abraham’s fears disappeared, he argued with the people of Lot about Our truths andpresented them with the truths that give them peace.

75-Surely, Abraham was a gentle-tempered person, firm in faith, and wide in understanding, alwaysturning to Allah.

76-O Abraham! Turn away from the state of those who are in evil. Surely, you are upon the realities ofthe One who created you. Surely, those who remain in evil, even if they are in distress, will not return.

77-When those who showed us our realities came to Lot, he was distressed by them and in a panic,and he said: This time is difficult.

78-And when his people, who had been in evil for a long time, came to him, he said to his people: Omy people, take advantage of the pure new births. So beware of evil, and do not associate others withAllah, and do not commit disgrace in the realities. Is it not better for you to be among the perfectpeople?

79-They said: We have never learned anything from you about the realities of the new births, andsurely you know what we want.

80-He said: I wish I had the power to convince you, or there was a strong person who knew thequalities and could support me.

81-We have informed: O Lot! Indeed, you are the one who shows the realities of the One who createdyou. Those who remain in those evils will never understand you. After this, walk with those whofollow you from darkness to light, and those who understand that process with you, not one of you willreturn to his former ignorance. Indeed, those who remain in those evils will remain in trouble. Thosewho understand the realities will not be in trouble. Indeed, those who keep to their promises will reachthe light. Is not that light closeness?

82-Thus, those who understand that the process belongs to Us have understood the sublimities Wehave presented. Those who are in a state of ignorance and cannot understand Our mercy, their heartshave become hardened and hardened.

83-They have attributed to themselves the qualities that belong to the Lord. The unjust person hasmowed himself away from the truth and will not understand the truth.

84-And to the people of Madyan their brother Shu’aib said: O my people, worship Allah. There is nopower for you except in Him. Do not give short measure and weight. I see you always after wealth,and I fear the distress that may beset you at any moment.

85-O my people! Give full measure and weight, and do not deprive people of their wealth, and do notsteal, and do not cause harm or corruption on earth.

86-If you are believers, then what Allah has given you is better, and I am not your protector.

87-They said: O Shu’aib! Does the one whom you attached command you to abandon what our fathersused to worship? Or does He tell us not to do what we want for our sacred values? You are indeedgood-natured, so enlighten us.

88-He said: O my people! If I am upon the clear proofs of my Lord and I am blessed with Hisbeautiful blessings, will you not see them? I do not want you to be divided. I only want you to knowHim and not to attribute existence to Him. I only try to improve as much as I can. No one can help meexcept Allah, I belong to Him with all my being and I turn to Him.

89-O my people! Do not be in evil. Do not remain in divisions like the people of Noah, or the peopleof Hud, or the people of Salih. The people of Lot are not far from you.

90-Repent for the mistakes you have made, so that you will not repeat them, and understand theforgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, my Lord is the One Who created all things from Himself with Hiscompassion.

91-They said: O Shu’aib! We do not understand much of what you say. You are the weakest among us,and if your group were not small, we would have expelled you, and you are not greater than us.

92-He said: O my people! My companions are loving people. They try to tell you about Allah, and youcling to your ignorance from your past. Surely, my Lord encompasses what you do.

93-O my people! Make an effort to understand the truth in the places where you are. I am also makingan effort. You will know who will be subject to the humiliating punishment and who is the one whoremains in lies. Observe, I am observing with you.

94-When Shu’aib understood that the functioning was Ours, he found salvation in Us and those whobelieved with him understood Our mercy. But the wrongdoers clung to their own ignorance and couldnot hear that divine voice. So, they became losers in their places.

95-Did they not mock in their places? Did the people of Madyan not turn away from the truth? Andthe people of Thamud turned away from the truth.

96-Indeed, Moses also came forth to explain Our truths with Our proofs and explained the truths withclear proofs.

97-He explained the truths to Pharaoh and his clerics. But they followed the decrees of Pharaoh.Pharaoh’s decrees do not guide the way of truth.

98-He will be on the road to the Day of Judgment before his people. Thus He will lead them into thefire, and how evil is the place to which He will lead them.

99-And then they will be far from mercy in that state, and how evil is their help to one another on theroad to the Day of Judgment.

100-We are informing you of their stories in the place where they were. Some of them understood thetruths and some of them did not understand as being in envy.

101-We did not ruin them, but they ruined themselves. When the truth of the functioning of the Lordin all beings was presented to them, they abandoned Allah and turned to things of conjecture, and theydid not attain the richness of the truth because of the deities they had taken, and they increased nothingbut their own loss.

102-Those who do not understand their Lord will remain in that state where they are, and thewrongdoers will certainly be caught in severe distress.

103-In these are signs for those who fear their end. This is so that people may always be in unity, andthis is so that people may always understand the truth.

104-When the end of time comes, it will not be postponed.

105-One day will come when people will not speak. He alone has authority over all things. Some ofthe people will remain in duality, and some will understand the truth and will be at peace.106-Here are those who are in duality; they are in a state of burning and destructiveness, they breathewith wheezing and shouting because of their anger.

107-Nothing is revealed in the heavens and the earth except what your Lord wills. His manifestationscontinue forever. Surely, your Lord is the perpetrator in the functioning of all creation, the One whohas will in existence.

108-Nothing is revealed in the heavens and the earth except what your Lord wills. His manifestationsare endless. Those who understand these truths find peace, and they always act in that peace. These areendless blessings.

109-Therefore, let there be no doubt in your hearts about what they worship. They worship only astheir fathers worshipped before. We surely give them, without diminishing, the share of those whoseek the truth with love.

110-Moses was one of those who understood that We have presented the whole of existence as a book.But they differed about the truths he presented. They disregarded the words of their Lord that hadcome before, and indeed they could not agree among themselves. Indeed, they were in doubt aboutthose truths, and they found them alarming.

111-Surely, those among them who seek the truth with love strive to understand Him who createdthem. And indeed, the truth is made clear to them from what they do.

112-Therefore, be upright as you have been commanded, and let those who follow you be so, and donot transgress. Indeed, He is the One who shows you the truth from what you do.

113-Do not bend before the unjust, then you will be touched by their state, which is a burning anddestructive state. There is no saint for you other than Allah, nor is there any helper.

114-Be steadfast in your duty to Allah, day and night, from morning to evening, and from evening tomorning. Indeed, good deeds will put an end to evil deeds. This is an advice for those who take heed.

115-Be patient. Indeed, Allah does not let go the reward of those who do good.

116-Were not the generations before you of those who were of sound mind, and forbade discord? Butonly a few of them understood Us on earth, and they found salvation in Us. But the wrongdoersfollowed the excesses of wealth and station, and remained in evil.

117-And your Lord will not oppress them in their places, nor will He destroy them. He desires that thepeople should be righteous.

118-And your Lord wills that the people should be of one faith, but they will be divided, and will notgive up duality.

119-Except those who understand the mercy of their Lord. They strive to fully understand the creationand the manifestations of Him who created them. Surely, those who do not understand Me, those whoare in the madness of their own egos, remain in the hell of their own ignorance, and most people are inthis state.

120-We inform you of the news of those who show the truths in full. With the truths in them, yourunderstanding becomes more firm, and from them We present to you truths, advice, and reminders forthe believers.

121-122-Say to those who do not believe: You act according to what you know, and We act accordingto what we know. You too, investigate, and we too will investigate.

123-Whatever is in the heavens and the earth, unseen and unknown, belongs to Allah, and He is theOne who constantly turns the whole of existence. So, understand that you are His servants andsurrender to Him with all your being, and whatever you do, do not forget Him who created you.
