هُود : ٢٨

  • قَالَ He said
  • يَٰقَوۡمِ O my people
  • أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ Do you see
  • إِن if
  • كُنتُ I was
  • عَلَىٰ on
  • بَيِّنَةٖ (the) clear proof
  • مِّن from
  • رَّبِّي my Lord
  • وَءَاتَىٰنِي while He has given me
  • رَحۡمَةٗ mercy
  • مِّنۡ from
  • عِندِهِۦ Himself
  • فَعُمِّيَتۡ but (it) has been obscured
  • عَلَيۡكُمۡ from you
  • أَنُلۡزِمُكُمُوهَا should We compel you (to accept) it
  • وَأَنتُمۡ while you (are)
  • لَهَا averse to it
  • كَٰرِهُونَ averse to it
He said, "O my people, have you considered: if I should be upon clear evidence from my Lord while He has given me mercy from Himself but it has been made unapparent to you, should we force it upon you while you are averse to it?
He said, 'O my people, have you considered: - inform me - if I am [acting] upon a clear proof, a clear statement, from my Lord and He has given me mercy - prophethood - from Him, and it has been obscured, concealed, from you ('amiyat, 'obscured', a variant reading has the passive 'ummiyat), can we compel you to it, are we [able] to force you to accept it, while you are averse to it? We are not able to do that.
