They replied: 'O Shu'ayb! Does your Prayer enjoin upon you that we should forsake the deities whom our forefathers worshipped, or that we should give up using our wealth as we please? Do you fancy that you, and only you, are forbearing and right-directed?'

(Isi liye humne usko naseehat ki ke) mera shukar kar aur apne walidain ka shukar baja la. Meri hi taraf tujhey palatna hai
But if they press you to associate others with Me in My Divinity, (to associate) those regarding whom you have no knowledge (that they are My associates), do not obey them.

Phir tum sabko palatna meri hi taraf hai, us waqt main tumhein bata dunga ke tum kaise amal karte rahey ho
