Aya 88
88
قالَ يا قَومِ أَرَأَيتُم إِن كُنتُ عَلىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِن رَبّي وَرَزَقَني مِنهُ رِزقًا حَسَنًا ۚ وَما أُريدُ أَن أُخالِفَكُم إِلىٰ ما أَنهاكُم عَنهُ ۚ إِن أُريدُ إِلَّا الإِصلاحَ مَا استَطَعتُ ۚ وَما تَوفيقي إِلّا بِاللَّهِ ۚ عَلَيهِ تَوَكَّلتُ وَإِلَيهِ أُنيبُ

(Irfan-ul-Quran)

Shu‘aib said: ‘O my people, tell me if I adhere to the clear proof from my Lord and He has also granted me pure and fine means of living from His Presence, (then why should I not preach the Truth)? I (also) do not want that, following you, I myself start doing (against the Truth) the same that I am forbidding you. All I desire is to (reform) you as far as I can, and my capability comes only from Allah’s (help). So I have put my trust in Him alone and I turn towards Him alone.
