قَدِ ٱفْتَرَيْنَا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا إِنْ عُدْنَا فِىمِلَّتِكُم 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 وَبَيْنَقَوْمِنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْفَٰتِحِينَ 89
وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ لَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتُمْ شُعَيْبًا إِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّخَٰسِرُونَ 90

89b. And it is not for us to return to it unless Allah our Lord
should (so) will. Our Lord comprehendeth all things in knowledge. In Allah do
we put our trust. Our Lord! Decide with truth between us and our folk, for
Thou art the Best of those who make decision.
90. And the chieftains of his people, who were disbelieving,
said: If ye follow Shu-aib , then truly ye shall be the
losers.

Commentary
‘
Prophet Shu-aib (blessing on Him) is going to answer to
the chieftains of His nation: You say to us: We should accept your religion
against our will. It is not possible for us.
Remaining part of the answer by Prophet Shu-aib (blessing
on Him) has been mentioned in this verse. It is commanded that Prophet Shu-aib (blessing
on Him) said: it is not our duty to embrace your religion. It is another thing
if Allah Almighty wills so, otherwise, we will never do so. Our Lord has
knowledge of everything. We have given our matter in charge of Him. We have
humbled our head before His Command.
“Our Lord! We call these people towards the Straight Path according to
Your Order, whereas they desire to drive us violently on the crooked way. Now
the decision is in Your hand. Decide between both parties of us in such a way:
that thing should be given to such party, which deserves that”.
Even after hearing the prayer in such eloquent and elegant words from
Prophet Shu-aib (blessing on Him), they did not wake up and those
perverse and obstinate chieftains, who were bent on infidelity, they said to
their people: Listen to us! If we obeyed Prophet Shu-aib (blessing
on Him), this entire ready-made game of ours would be at
variance, and we would have to bear a heavy loss.
If power and authority
comes in the hands of selfish people, they try to keep the public under their
control, to crush the well-wishers of common people, for preserving their
influence, becoming blind and deaf similarly. Consequently, the advisers are
saved but the self-interested people are ruined along with the common people.
