Hope
of the folk from Salih
Surah Huud (Hud) - 11
BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
قَالُوا۟ يَٰصَٰلِحُ قَدْ كُنتَ فِينَا مَرْجُوًّا قَبْلَ هَٰذَآ أَتَنْهَىٰنَآ أَن نَّعْبُدَ مَا يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَإِنَّنَا لَفِى شَكٍّمِّمَّا تَدْعُونَآ إِلَيْهِ مُرِيبٍ (62)
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.

Commentary
Mar-juwwan – (placing a hope in something, hopeful,
feasible), it is the passive participle from ra-ja-wa, origin from which
is rajaa’. Rajaa means “hope, reliance, trust, expectation. Raajii
means “who expects”. Marjuwwan means “from whom it is expected”.
Muriibin – (doubtful, suspicious), it is the Subject from
the word ‘iraabatun, origin of which is ra-ya-ba. It means “to
ensnare in doubts”.
In fact, there is only one reason of mankind’s abandonment from
religious faith. He wants that there should be no-one who may prevent him, and
he may try his best to fulfill his every desire. Contrary to it, Prophets and
Messengers (peace be upon them) of Allah Almighty used to produce always only
one matter that Owner of you and the entire universe is One God (Allah
Almighty). You should prostrate before Him only, and say good-bye to your
wishes before His Command.
Prophet Salih (peace be upon him) caused to understand also the
same to his folk, but they replied: O Salih (peace be upon him)! We were
very hopeful from you. We considered that you are a wise person, will earn much
wealth and will be addicted to pleasure. But you went beyond the bounds. You
have been prepared to efface an old tradition, which was being followed by our
forefathers since long. How can we believe in you, leave our lords and worship
only One God?
