do not obey those who are given to excess

Translation 1260

and who spread corruption in the land instead of doing what is right.’

Translation 1260

They said, ‘You are bewitched

Translation 1260

You are nothing but a man like us. Show us a sign, if you are telling the truth.’

Translation 1260

He said, ‘Here is a camel. She should have her turn to drink and so should you, each on a specified day

Translation 1260

so do not harm her, or the punishment of a terrible day will befall you.’

Translation 1260

But they hamstrung her. In the morning they had cause to regret it

Translation 1260

the punishment fell upon them. There truly is a sign in this, though most of them will not believe

Translation 1260

Translation 1260

The people of Lot, too, called the messengers liars

Translation 1260

Their brother Lot said to them, ‘Will you not be mindful of God

Translation 1260

I am a faithful messenger to you

Translation 1260

be mindful of God and obey me

Translation 1260

I ask no reward from you, for my only reward is with the Lord of the Worlds

Translation 1260

Must you, unlike [other] people, lust after males

Translation 1260

and abandon the wives that God has created for you? You are exceeding all bounds,’

Translation 1260

but they replied, ‘Lot! If you do not stop this, you will be driven away.’

Translation 1260

So he said, ‘I loathe what you do

Translation 1260

Lord, save me and my family from what they are doing.’

Translation 1260

We saved him and all his family

Translation 1260

except for an old woman who stayed behind

Translation 1260

then We destroyed the others

Translation 1260

and poured a rain of destruction down upon them. How dreadful that rain was for those who had been forewarned

Translation 1260

There truly is a sign in this, though most of them will not believe

Translation 1260

your Lord alone is the Almighty, the Merciful
