Hud 91-93
91- THEY SAID: O SHOIB, WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND MUCH OF WHAT YOU SAY, AND WE SEE THAT YOU ARE WEAK AMONG US, AND IF IT WAS NOT FOR YOUR FAMILY AND TRIBE, WE WOULD HAVE STONED YOU, FOR YOU ARE NOT OF AN EXALTED STATUS AMONG US.
92- HE SAID: MY PEOPLE; ARE MY FAMILY AND TRIBE ARE OF GREATER ESTEEM TO YOU THAN ALLAH, WHOM YOU NEGLECTED AND IGNORED. INDEED MY LORD KNOWS ALL YOU DO.
93- AND MY PEOPLE, WORK FOR YOUR STATUS, I CERTAINLY DO WORK, YOU WILL KNOW WHO WILL SUFFER A PUNISHMENT WHICH WILL HUMILIATE HIM, AND HE WHO IS A LIAR, WAIT FOR WHAT WILL HAPPEN, I AM WAITING WITH YOU.
Shoib’s people answer to him was that they did not comprehend or understand what he said to them, or did not wish to understand or accept what he told them. They would not accept having one God instead of many idols, or changing their way of life, and they way they did business.
Then they began threatening him, telling his that he is weak amongst them and that if it was not for his family and tribe, they would have stoned him to death, which is a very disgraceful way of killing a person.
A messenger represents the person who sent him. A messenger of Allah, represent Allah and is under His protection and guardianship. Shoib did not have much power and support among his people, however he had the support and protection of Allah the Highest and therefore he (could have nothing to fear)xxxxxx from his people. Allah the Highest said: “ISN’T ALLAH SUFFICIENT FOR HIS SLAVE (FOR PROTECTION) AND THEY THREATEN YOU BY WHAT IS LESS THAN HIM”. (S:39 A:36)
Shoib, peace upon him, knew his status before Allah the Highest, and told his people that they were wrong to give consideration to his family and tribe and not to give greater consideration to God, Allah the Highest.
Shoib gave them another warning of the punishment which awaits them if they do not believe and mend their ways. Both groups called each other liars, and Shoib told them that the punishment is going to afflict the real liars, and that should they wait, then they will find out who are the real liars, however then it will be too late.
