Verses 94-95Verses 91-93

      Shuaib who has the title of, ©PROPHETS ORATOR¨ for his skill and art of speaking eloquently, expressed his Message to his people calmly and with compassion and patience, but his obstinate people answered him with pertinacy and grudge, saying:ِ

      ``Shuaib! We don't understand much of what you say. In our sight you are no more than a weak teacher. We only spare you for the sake of your little tribe, or else we would have stoned you so far!''

      It is not difficult to understand spiritual and divine matters if we do not deliberately shut our eyes to God's signs, as the people of Shuaib did.

      Shuaib was not discouraged by the impolite disputes of his people, and he became not nervous by their obstinacy and rejection of his message, just as our prophet Mohammad (AS) was so. Inspite of all that rude and rough oppositions, he continued with compassion and tranquility, asserting himself and insisting upon his assertion. In an expressive preaching he said in answer to his perverted people:ِ
      ``O, my people! Is my tribe dearer to you and more esteemed by you than Allah!? The compassionate Merciful Lord, the commands of whom you have cast away, and have turned your backs to Him!''

      If the wicked want to continue to blaspheme and mock, what else can the Godly tell him except:ِ ``Go on your way and do as you likeِbut, wait and watch, and I too will wait with youِGod's mill grinds slow but without fail. Calm, quiet, but bravely Shuaib gave an end to their dispute by saying:ِ

      Do whatever you can against me, but know that nothing will stop me doing my duty, and soon will our Lord judge among us, and His judgement is true and just.''
