(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

قَالَ ٱلْمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ مِنقَوْمِهِۦ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكَ يَٰشُعَيْبُ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَكَ مِن قَرْيَتِنَآ أَوْ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِى مِلَّتِنَا قَالَ أَوَلَوْ كُنَّا كَٰرِهِينَ 88

 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

88.  The chieftains of his people, who were scornful, said: Surely we will drive thee out, O Shu-aib, and those who believe with thee, from our township, or ye return to our religion. He said: Even though we hate it? 89a.  We should have invented a lie against Allah if we returned to your religion after Allah hath rescued us from it

88.  QAALAL-MALA-‘UL-laziinas-tak-baruu  min-  qawmihii  lanukh-rijannaka  yaa-Shu-‘aybu  walla-ziina  ‘aamanuu  ma-‘aka  min-  qar-yatinaaa  ‘aw  lata-‘uudunna  fii  millatinaa.  Qaala  ‘awa  law  kunnaa  kaarihiin. 89a.  Qadifta-raynaa  ‘alAllaahi  kaziban  ‘in  ‘udnaa  fii  millatikum  ba’-da ‘iz  najjaanAllaahu  minhaa.

Commentary

‘

Haughtiness is found inside the human being, which prevents him from accepting the word of any other individual; that is called `stubbornness or obstinacy. Many people do their loss due to such stubbornness. Satan considers it best source of misleading the mankind. It is the effect of this characteristic that the mankind does not acknowledge superiority of any other person, but wants to stick to his own hits. That is why, when any individual is enraged due to any reason, then big problem comes before the advisers. The Devil seduces the human being every time that: You are right but those are wrong who cause to understand you.

Behold: What was answer of the arrogant chieftains of Madian, the nation of Prophet Shu-‘aib (blessing on Him)? It is commanded in this verse that proud chieftains of the folk of Prophet Shu-‘aib (blessing on Him) said to Him after hearing the advice from Prophet Shu-‘aib (blessing on Him): If you will speak more invigoratingly, then either we shall drive you and your believers out from our township or you will be returned to our religion violently. Prophet Shu-aib (blessing on Him) said: We consider these matters as poison for us, which you have assumed, even though, will you cause to drink us the cup of poison forcibly?

Allah Almighty has rescued us from those wicked deeds and habits, which have been spread into you. If we shall choose intentionally your religion and way of life, it will be meant that, which we have been advising you till now, that all was false. And it will be as though “we have invented a lie against Allah Almighty by saying that our advice was the words of God”. We repent from committing such kind of any sin. You should never think about it that we shall come back toward your religion. This haughtiness and vain pride into the human being, due to which he rejects the advice and commands of Messengers (blessing on Them), is the foundation of infidelity and disbelief. Islam is quite opposite of this nature. It aims: To be ready every time to accept any advice and it is the origin of the Belief.
