Chapter 11: Hood (Hûd)

Verse No	Pickthall	Shakir	Yusuf Ali	Arabic
11:62	They said: O Salih! Thou hast been among us hitherto as that wherein our hope was placed. Dost thou ask us not to worship what our fathers worshipped ? Lo! we verily are in grave doubt concerning that to which thou callest us.	They said: O Salih! surely you were one amongst us in whom great expectations were placed before this; do you (now) forbid us from worshiping what our fathers worshiped? And as to that which you call us to, most surely we are in disquieting doubt.	They said: "O Salih! thou hast been of us! a centre of our hopes hitherto! dost thou (now) forbid us the worship of what our fathers worshipped? But we are really in suspicious (disquieting) doubt as to that to which thou invitest us."	قَالوا يَصَلحُ قَدْ كُنتَ فِينَا مَرجُوًّا قَبْل هَذَا اتَنْهَنَا انْ نَعْبُدَ مَا يَعْبُدُ ءابَاؤُنَا وَانَّنَا لفِي شَكٍّ مِمَّا تَدْعُونَا اليْهِ مُريبٍ
