Hud 11:52

Qur'an 11:52

وَيَـٰقَوْمِ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا وَيَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّةً إِلَىٰ قُوَّتِكُمْ وَلَا تَتَوَلَّوْا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ

And O my people, ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in showers and increase you in strength [added] to your strength. And do not turn away, [being] criminals."

Hud 11:52 · Saheeh International

Svenska · Bernström

Be nu er Herre om förlåtelse för era synder, mitt folk, och vänd ångerfulla åter till Honom. Då skall Han låta Sin välsignelse flöda över er och Han skall lägga styrka till er styrka - men återgå inte till ert [förra] syndiga liv!"

The Story of Prophet Hud and the People of `Ad

Allah, the Exalted, says,

و

(And) This is an introductory to what is implied: "Verily, We sent."

إِلَى عَادٍ أَخَاهُمْ هُودًا

(to the `Ad (people) their brother Hud.) Hud came to them commanding them to worship Allah alone, without any associates. He forbade them from worshipping the idols which they made up, inventing names as gods. He informed them that he did not want any reward from them for his sincere advising and conveying of Allah's Message. He only sought his reward from Allah, the One Who created him.

أَفَلاَ تَعْقِلُونَ

(Will you not then understand) Someone has come calling you to what will benefit your situation in this life and the Hereafter without asking for any wage (from them). Then he commanded them to seek the forgiveness of the One Who is capable of expiating previous sins. He also commanded them to repent for that which they may do in the future. Whoever has these characteristics, Allah will make his sustenance easy for him, grant him ease in his affairs and guard over his situation. For this reason Allah says,

يُرْسِلِ السَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِدْرَاراً

(He will send you (from the sky) abundant rain,)
