بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ءَالَ لُوطٍ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ
Falamma jaaa'a Aala Lootinil mursaloon
So when the envoys came to the household of Lot,
قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌۭ مُّنكَرُونَ
Qaala innakum qawmum munkaroon
he said: "Surely you are an unknown folk."
قَالُوا۟ بَلْ جِئْنَٰكَ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ
Qaaloo bal ji'naaka bimaa kaanoo feehi yamtaroon
They said: "Nay, we have brought to you that concerning which they have been in doubt.
وَأَتَيْنَٰكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَإِنَّا لَصَٰدِقُونَ
Wa atainaaka bilhaqqi wa innaa lasaadiqoon
We truly tell you that we have brought to you the Truth.
فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱتَّبِعْ أَدْبَٰرَهُمْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌۭ وَٱمْضُوا۟ حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُونَ
Fa asri bi ahlika biqit'im minal laili wattabi' adbaarahum wa laa yaltafit minkum ahadunw wamdoo haisu tu'maroon
So set out with your family in a watch of the night, and keep yourself behind them, and no one of you may turn around, and keep going ahead as you have been commanded."
وَقَضَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْأَمْرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مَقْطُوعٌۭ مُّصْبِحِينَ
Wa qadainaaa ilaihi zaalikal amra anna daabira haaa'ulaaa'i maqtoo'um musbiheen
And We communicated to him the decree that by the morning those people will be totally destroyed.
وَجَآءَ أَهْلُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ
Wa jaaa'a ahlul madeenati yastabshiroon
In the meantime the people of the city came to Lot rejoicing.
قَالَ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ضَيْفِى فَلَا تَفْضَحُونِ
Qaala inna haaa'ulaaa'i daifee falaa tafdahoon
He said: "These are my guests, so do not disgrace me.
وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُخْزُونِ
Wattaqul laaha wa laa tukhzoon
Have fear of Allah, and do not humiliate me."
قَالُوٓا۟ أَوَلَمْ نَنْهَكَ عَنِ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Qaalooo awalam nanhaka 'anil 'aalameen
They replied: "Did we not forbid you again and again to extend hospitality to all and sundry?"
قَالَ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِىٓ إِن كُنتُمْ فَٰعِلِينَ
Qaala haaa'ulaaa'i banaateee in kuntum faa'ileen
Lot exclaimed in exasperation: "If you are bent on doing something, then here are my daughters."
لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِى سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ
La'amruka innahum lafee sakratihim ya'mahoon
By your life, (O Prophet), they went about blindly stumbling in their intoxication.
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِينَ
Fa akhazat humus saihatu mushriqeen
Then the mighty Blast caught them at sunrise,
فَجَعَلْنَا عَٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةًۭ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ
Faja'alnaa 'aaliyahaa saafilahaa wa amtamaa 'alaihim hijaaratam min sjijjeel
and turned the land upside down, and rained down stones of baked clay.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍۢ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ
Inna fee zaalika la Aayaatil lilmutawassimeen
There are great Signs in this for those endowed with intelligence.
وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍۢ مُّقِيمٍ
Wa innahaa labi sabeelim muqeem
The place (where this occurred) lies along a known route.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Inna fee zaalika la Aayatal lilmu'mineen
Verily there is a Sign in this for the believers.
وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ لَظَٰلِمِينَ
Wa in kaana Ashaabul Aikati lazaalimeen
And the people of Aykah were also wrong-doers.
فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
Fantaqamnaa minhum wa innahumaa labi imaamim mubeen
So We chastised them. The desolate locations of both communities lie on a well-known highway.
وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْحِجْرِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wa laqad kazzaba ashaabul Hijril mursaleen
Surely the people of al-Hijr also rejected the Messengers, calling them liars.
وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمْ ءَايَٰتِنَا فَكَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ
Wa aatainaahum Aayaatinaa fakaanoo 'anhaa mu'rideen
We also gave them Our Signs, yet they turned away from them.
وَكَانُوا۟ يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا ءَامِنِينَ
Wa kaanoo yanhitoona minal jibaali buyootan aamineen
They used to hew out houses from the mountains and lived in security.
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِينَ
Fa akhazat humus saihatu musbiheen
Then the Blast caught them in the morning
فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
Famaaa aghnaa 'anhum maa kaanoo yaksiboon
and whatever they had been earning proved of no avail.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَءَاتِيَةٌۭ ۖ فَٱصْفَحِ ٱلصَّفْحَ ٱلْجَمِيلَ
Wa maa khalaqnas samaawaati wal arda wa maa bainahumaaa illaa bilhaqq; wa innas Saa'ata la aatiyatun fasfahis safhal jameel
We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is in between them except with Truth. Surely the Hour will come. So, (O Muhammad), do graciously overlook them (despite their misdeeds).
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلْخَلَّٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
Inna Rabbaka Huwal khallaaqul 'aleem
Your Lord is indeed the Creator of all, the All-Knowing.
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَٰكَ سَبْعًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمَثَانِى وَٱلْقُرْءَانَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ
Wa laqad aatainaaka sab'am mnal masaanee wal Qur-aanal 'azeem
We have indeed bestowed on you the seven oft-repeated verses and the Great Qur'an.
لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجًۭا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Laa tamuddanna 'ainaika ilaa maa matta 'naa biheee azwaajam minhum wa laa tahzan 'alaihim wakhfid janaahaka lilmu 'mineen
Do not even cast your eyes towards the worldly goods We have granted to different kinds of people, nor grieve over the state they are in, but turn your loving attention to the believers instead,
وَقُلْ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱلنَّذِيرُ ٱلْمُبِينُ
Wa qul inneee anan nazeerul mubeen
and clearly tell the unbelievers: "I am most certainly a plain warner,"
كَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى ٱلْمُقْتَسِمِينَ
Kamaaa anzalnaa 'alal muqtasimeen
even as We had sent warning to those who had divided their religion into fragments;
Meccan
