Shuaib's Message
安拉至高无上,降示了舒阿伊布(愿主赐其平安)的故事:
Allah the Almighty revealed the story of Shu'aib (pbuh):
致麦德彦人(麦迪安人):(我们派遣)他们的兄弟舒阿伊布。他说:"我的people啊!你们应当崇拜真主,除祂之外,你们没有别的应受崇拜者。确实,来自你们主的明证已经降临你们;所以你们要足量足秤,不要克扣人们的财物,在大地已经整治之后不要作恶,那对你们是更好的,如果你们是信士的话。你们不要坐在每条道路上,恐吓并阻止信仰真主的人遵循真主之道,并企图使此道变得歪曲。你们应当记住,你们曾经人数很少,而祂使你们繁衍增多。你们看看作恶者(作恶、败坏和说谎的人)的下场如何。如果你们中有一群人信仰我所奉派来传达的使命,另有一群人不信,那你们就要忍耐,直到真主在我们之间裁决,祂是最公正的裁决者。"他的族人中那些傲慢者的首领说:"舒阿伊布啊!我们一定要把你和那些与你一起信仰的人从我们的城镇赶出去,否则你们就必须回归我们的宗教。"他说:"即使我们厌恶它!在真主已经拯救我们脱离它之后,如果我们再回到你们的宗教,那我们就是对真主捏造谎言了。除非真主——我们的主——意欲,否则我们不可能回到它。我们的主以祂的知识涵盖万物。我们唯独依靠真主。我们的主啊!求你以真理在我们与我们的族人之间裁决,你是最好的裁决者。"他族人中不信者的首领对他们的族人说:"如果你们跟随舒阿伊布,那你们一定是亏损者!"于是他(舒阿伊布)离开他们,说:"我的people啊!我确实已经向你们传达了我主的讯息,并且给了你们善意的劝告。那么,我对不信的人们的毁灭又何必悲伤呢?"(《古兰经》7:85-93)
"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)
麦德彦人是居住在马安地区的阿拉伯人,该地区的一部分如今属于大叙利亚。他们是一个贪婪的民族,不信真主的存在,过着邪恶的生活。他们短斤少两,夸大货物的价值,隐瞒商品的缺陷。他们欺骗顾客,以此进行欺诈。
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.
安拉派遣了祂的先知舒阿卜(愿主福安之),并赐予他许多神迹。舒阿卜向他们传道,恳请他们感念安拉的恩赐,并警告他们其恶行将带来的后果,但他们只是嘲笑他。舒阿卜依然平静,提醒他们自己与他们同族的血缘关系,并且说明他所做的并非为了个人的利益。
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.
他们没收了舒阿业及其追随者的财产,然后把他们赶出了城市。这位使者转向他的主求助,他的祈求得到了应允。真主降下了灼热的炎热,他们遭受了极大的痛苦。他们看到天空中聚集起一片云,以为会带来清凉的甘霖,便冲到外面,希望能享受这场降雨。然而那片云爆裂开来,抛下雷electric 与火焰。他们听到从上方传来雷鸣般的巨响,脚下的大地也随之颤抖。作恶者就在这样惊恐的状态中灭亡了。
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.
不信者的无知
The Disbeliever's Ignorance
安拉至高无上说:
Allah the Exalted stated:
住在艾卡(Al Aiyka,靠近米甸或马德彦)的人否认了众使者。舒阿卜对他们说:"你们难道不敬畏真主、不服从祂吗?我是你们可信赖的使者。所以你们应当敬畏真主,谨守对祂的义务,并服从我。我为此(即我所传的伊斯兰一神信仰)不向你们索取任何报酬,我的报酬只在众世界的主那里。你们要足量地称量,不要使人受损。要用公正笔直的天平称量。不要克扣人们的财物,不要在大地上作恶、制造腐败与祸乱。你们应敬畏创造你们和古代各族的主。"他们说:"你只是被施了魔法的人之一!你不过是和我们一样的凡人,而且我们认为你是说谎者中的一个!如果你是诚实的,那就让天上的一块碎片掉下来砸我们吧!"他说:"我的主最知道你们所做的一切。"但他们仍然否认他,于是遮阴之日(一朵阴暗的云)的刑罚降临到他们身上,那确实是一个重大日子的刑罚。真的,这其中有一个迹象,但他们大多数人并不信道。
"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.
"而且,你的主确实是至尊的,是至慈的。"(古兰经 26:176-191)
And verily! Your Lord, He is indeed the All Mighty, the Most Merciful." (Ch 26:176-191 Quran).
