Surah Hud Verse 88 - English Translation by Dr Kamal Omar
Surah Hudقَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّي وَرَزَقَنِي مِنۡهُ رِزۡقًا حَسَنٗاۚ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَنۡ أُخَالِفَكُمۡ إِلَىٰ مَآ أَنۡهَىٰكُمۡ عَنۡهُۚ إِنۡ أُرِيدُ إِلَّا ٱلۡإِصۡلَٰحَ مَا ٱسۡتَطَعۡتُۚ وَمَا تَوۡفِيقِيٓ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِۚ عَلَيۡهِ تَوَكَّلۡتُ وَإِلَيۡهِ أُنِيبُ
(He said: “O my nation! Have you pondered if I am on Bayyinah) from my Nourisher-Sustainer and He has provided me sustenance from Himself — a palatable and lawful provision — (shall I corrupt it by mixing it with illegally and immorally earned money)? And I do not intend that I may go against you, to that which I forbid you there unto. I do not intend except reform whatever I had the capacity. And there is no capacity (or ability) in me except through Allah. In Him I put my trust and unto Him I turn (for help and guidance)
