والى مدين اخاهم شعيبا قال يا قوم اعبدوا الله ما لكم من اله غيره قد جاءتكم بينة من ربكم فاوفوا الكيل والميزان ولا تبخسوا الناس اشياءهم ولا تفسدوا في الارض بعد اصلاحها ذلكم خير لكم ان كنتم مؤمنين

To the Madyan people We sent Shu‘aib, one Of their own brethren: he said: "O my people! worship God; Ye have no other god But Him. Now hath come Unto you a clear (Sign) From your Lord! Give just Measure and weight, nor withhold From the people the things That are their due; and do No mischief on the earth After it has been set In order: that will be best For you, if ye have Faith.
