he answered o my people! what do you think? if i am taking my stand on a clear evidence from my sustainer who has vouchsafed me goodly sustenance from himself ? and yet i have no desire to do out of opposition to you what i am asking you not to do i desire no more than to set things to rights in so far as it lies within my power but the achievement of my aim depends on god alone. in him have i placed my trust and unto him do i always turn!
قال يا قوم أرأيتم إن كنت على بينة من ربي ورزقني منه رزقا حسنا وما أريد أن أخالفكم إلى ما أنهاكم عنه إن أريد إلا الإصلاح ما استطعت وما توفيقي إلا بالله عليه توكلت وإليه أنيب
