84. And unto Midian (We sent) their brother
Shu’eyb. He said: O my people! Serve Allah; ye have no other God save Him!
And give not short measure and short weight; lo! I see you well-to-do, and
lo! I fear for you the doom of a besetting Day.

Commentary
Khay-run – (in good condition), usually it is taken in the
meaning of wealth and property. But khay-run means “every good thing” as
wealth, property and good health etc.
Mad-yana – it was a township which was situated near the ‘Uqbah Bay Sinai Peninsula . There
was a forest of trees around it which was called Aykah. Ashaabul
Aykah means “the people; who used to live in Jungle”. That part of the land
was very verdant and green. Inhabitants were prosperous. This prosperity became
reason of their negligence. They forgot their Creator (Allah Almighty) and
began to adore verdant, useful and fruity trees. They had become so much greedy
that they used to take full payment but give the grain short in measure and
short in weight.
Shu’eyb (peace
be upon him) was sent unto them as a Prophet so that He should prevent them
from such unfairness in dealing and draw their attention unto Allah Almighty,
because root of evil in the human being is due to carelessness from Allah
Almighty. As much the people believe in Allah Almighty, so much they are saved
from the sins.
Prophet Shu’eyb (peace be upon him) also caused to turn the
attention of His people unto Allah Almighty and guided them that they should be
thankful in the form of His obedience for the prosperity; bestowed by Him. He
(peace be upon him) frightened them also from the doom of the Doomsday (which
will ruin them) in case; they do not give up dealing short in measure and weight
against taking full payment.
