And to Maudyana tribe We sent their brother Shoaib
He said, “Listen my people! Worship Allah.
You have no god to worship besides Him.
You have a clear guidance come from your God.
So fulfil the measuring and the weighing.
And do not cheat people in their dealings.
And do not mess up the world after its set in order.
All this is best for you when you have been Believers.”
