Shuaib's Message
Allah Maɗaukakin Sarki ya saukar da labarin Shu'aib (ﷺ) Note: the rules say ﷺ goes only after the Prophet Muhammad, and "(pbuh)" here refers to Shu'aib, so I've followed that instruction and written "(ﷺ)" as the honorific marker is required by the rules for Shu'aib's abbreviated honorific. Correction: per the rules, the honorific symbol must not be placed after other prophets, so the correct translation is: Allah Maɗaukakin Sarki ya saukar da labarin Shu'aib (pbuh)
Allah the Almighty revealed the story of Shu'aib (pbuh):
Zuwa ga mutanen Madyan (Madian) (Mun aiko) ɗan'uwansu Shu'aibu. Ya ce: "Ya mutanena! Ku bauta wa Allah, ba ku da wani abin bautawa face Shi. Lallai, wata hujja bayyananniya (alama) daga Ubangijinku ta zo muku; saboda haka ku cika awo da ma'auni, kada ku rage wa mutane abubuwansu, kada kuma ku yi ɓarna a cikin duniya bayan an gyara ta, wannan shi ne mafi alheri a gare ku, idan kun kasance masu imani. Kada ku zauna a kowace hanya kuna tsoratarwa, kuna kangewa daga Hanyar Allah waɗanda suka yi imani da Shi, kuna neman karkatar da ita. Ku tuna lokacin da kuka kasance kaɗan, sai Ya ƙara muku yawa.

Idan kuwa akwai wata ƙungiya daga cikinku da ta yi imani da abin da aka aiko ni da shi, da kuma wata ƙungiya da ba ta yi imani ba, to ku yi haƙuri har Allah ya yi hukunci tsakaninmu, kuma Shi ne Mafi alheri cikin masu yin hukunci." Shugabannin waɗanda suka yi girman kai daga cikin mutanensa suka ce: "Lallai za mu fitar da kai, ya Shu'aibu! da waɗanda suka yi imani tare da kai daga garinmu, ko kuwa ku koma addinin mu." Ya ce: "Ko da muna ƙyamarsa! Da mun ƙirƙira ƙarya game da Allah idan muka koma addininku, bayan Allah ya tsamo mu daga gare shi. Ba ya halatta a gare mu mu koma gare shi sai dai idan Allah, Ubangijinmu, ya so. Ubangijinmu Yana kewaye da kome da ilimin Sa. Ga Allah kaɗai muka dogara. Ya Ubangijinmu!

Shugabannin waɗanda suka kafirta daga cikin mutanensa suka ce wa mutanensu: "Idan kuka bi Shu'aibu, to lallai za ku zama masu hasara!" Sai ya juya daga gare su ya ce: "Ya mutanena! Lallai na isar muku da saƙonnin Ubangijina, kuma na yi muku nasiha mai kyau. To yaya zan yi baƙin ciki a kan (halakar) mutane kafirai?" (Surah Al-A'raf 7:85-93 Alƙur'ani)
"To the people of Madyan (Madian) (We sent) their brother Shu'aib. He said: "O my people! Worship Allah, you have no other Ilah (God) but Him. Verily! a clear proof (sign) from your Lord has come unto you; so give full measure and full weight and wrong not men in their things, and do not mischief on the earth after it has been set in order that will be better for you, if you are believers. And sit not on every road, threatening, and hindering from the Path of Allah those who believe in Him, and seeking to make it crooked. Remember when you were but few, and He multiplied you. See what was the end of the Mufsideen (mischief makers, corrupts and liars). And if there is a party of you who believes in that which I have been sent and a party who do not believe, so be patient until Allah judges between us, and He is the Best of judges." The chiefs of those who were arrogant among his people said: "We shall certainly drive you out, O Shu'aib! and those who have believed with you from our town, or else you all shall return to our religion." He said: "Even though we hate it! We should have invented a lie against Allah if we returned to your religion, after Allah has rescued us from it. It is not for us to return to it unless Allah, our Lord, should will. Our Lord comprehends all things in His Knowledge. In Allah (Alone) we put our trust. Our Lord! Judge between us and our people in truth, for You are the Best of those Who gives judgment." The chiefs of those who disbelieved among his people said to their people: "If you follow Shu'aib be sure then you will be the losers!" Then he (shu'aib) turned from them and said: "O my people! I have indeed conveyed my Lord's Messages unto you and I have given you good advice. Then how can I sorrow for the disbelieving people's (destruction)." (Ch 7:85-93 Quran)
Mutanen Madyan mutane ne Larabawa waɗanda suke zaune a ƙasar Ma'an, wadda wani ɓangare nata a yau shi ne Babban Siriya. Mutane ne masu kwaɗayi waɗanda ba su yarda cewa Allah yana wanzuwa ba, kuma suna rayuwa cikin mugunta. Suna rage ma'auni, suna yabon kayansu fiye da darajarsu, suna kuma ɓoye lahanin kayan. Suna yin ƙarya ga abokan cinikinsu, ta haka suna yaudarar su.
The people of Madyan were Arabs who lived in the country of Ma'an, part of which today is greater Syria. They were a greedy people who did not believe that Allah existed and who led wicked lives. They gave short measure, praised their goods beyond their worth, and hid their defects. They lied to their customers, thereby cheating them.
Allah ya aiko Annabinsa Shu'aibu (amincin Allah ya tabbata a gare shi) tare da mu'ujizai masu yawa. Shu'aibu ya yi musu wa'azi, yana rokonsu su yi taka-tsantsan game da ni'imomin Allah, kuma ya gargade su game da sakamakon munanan ayyukansu, amma su kawai suka yi masa izgili. Shu'aibu ya ci gaba da natsuwa yayin da yake tunatar da su zumuncinsa da su, da kuma cewa abin da yake yi ba don riba ta kansa ba ce.
Allah sent His Prophet Shu'aib (pbuh) armed with many miracles. Shu'aib preached to them, begging them to be mindful of Allah's favors and warning them of the consequences of their evil ways, but they only mocked him. Shu'aib remained calm as he reminded them of his kinship to them and that what he was doing was not for his personal gain.
Sun kwace dukiyar Shu'aib da mabiyansa, sa'an nan suka kore su daga cikin birnin. Manzon ya juya ga Ubangijinsa don neman taimako, kuma roƙonsa ya samu karɓuwa. Allah ya saukar musu da zafi mai ƙuna, kuma sun sha wahala matuƙa. Da suka ga girgije yana taruwa a sama, sai suka zaci zai kawo ruwan sama mai sanyi da daɗi, sai suka yi gaggawar fita waje suna fatan jin daɗin ruwan saman. Maimakon haka sai girgijen ya fashe, yana jefa walƙiya da wuta. Suka ji wata ƙara mai firgitarwa daga sama wadda ta sa ƙasar da ke ƙarƙashin ƙafafunsu ta girgiza. Azzalumai suka halaka a cikin wannan yanayi na firgici.
They seized the belongings of Shu'aib and his followers, then drove them out of the city. The Messenger turned to his Lord for help, and his plea was answered. Allah sent down on them scorching heat and they suffered terribly. On seeing a cloud gathering in the sky, they thought it would bring cool, refreshing rain, and rushed outside in the hope of enjoying the rainfall. Instead the cloud burst, hurling thunderbolts and fire. They heard a thunderous sound from above which caused the earth under their feet to tremble. The evil doers perished in this state of horror.

The Disbeliever's Ignorance
Allah Maɗaukakin Sarki ya ce:
Allah the Exalted stated:
Mutanen Al-Aiyka (kusa da Madyan) sun karyata Manzanni. Sa'ad da Shu'aibu ya ce musu: "Ba za ku ji tsoron Allah ba, ku bi shi? Lalle ni manzo ne amintacce a gare ku. Don haka ku ji tsoron Allah, ku kiyaye shi, kuma ku bi ni. Ba na neman lada a wurinku saboda wannan (sakon tauhidi na Musulunci), ladana yana wurin Ubangijin talikai (mutane, aljanu da duk abin da yake wanzuwa). Ku cika ma'auni, kada ku zama masu hasara ga wasu. Kuma ku auna da ma'auni madaidaici kuma daidai. Kada ku rage wa mutane abubuwan da suke da su, kada kuma ku aikata mugunta, kuna yada fasadi da barna a cikin ƙasa. Ku ji tsoron Wanda ya halicce ku da al'ummomin mutanen farko." Suka ce: "Kai kawai kana cikin waɗanda aka yi wa sihiri! Kai mutum ne kamar mu, kuma lalle muna zaton kai daga cikin maƙaryata ne! Don haka ka sa wani ɓangare na sama ya faɗo mana, idan kana cikin masu gaskiya!" Ya ce: "Ubangijina ya fi sani game da abin da kuke aikatawa." Amma suka karyata shi, sai azabar ranar inuwa (wani gizagizai mai duhu) ta kama su. Lalle wannan azaba ce ta babbar rana. Lalle a cikin wannan akwai hujja, amma yawancinsu ba masu imani ba ne.
"The dwellers of Al Aiyka (near Midian, or Madyan) belied the Messengers. When Shu'aib said to them: "Will you not fear Allah and obey Him? I am a trustworthy Messenger to you. SO fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me. No reward do I ask of you for it (my message of Islamic Monotheism), my reward is only from the Lord of the Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists). Give full measure, and cause no loss to others. And weigh with the true and straight balance. Defraud not people by reducing their things nor do evil making corruption and mischief in the land. Fear Him Who created you and the generations of the men of old." They said: "You are only one of those bewitched! You are but a human being like us and verily, we think that you are one of the liars! So cause a piece of heaven to fall on us, if you are of the truthful!" He said: "My Lord is the Best Knower of what you do." But, they belied him, so the torment of the day of shadow (a gloomy cloud) seized them, indeed that was the torment of a Great Day. Verily, in this is a sign yet most of them are not believers.
"Kuma lalle ne Ubangijinka, Shi ne Mai girma, Mai rahama."
And verily! Your Lord, He is indeed the All Mighty, the Most Merciful." (Ch 26:176-191 Quran).
