Then,
when the Messengers (the angels)
came unto the family of Lout (Lot). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
62. |
He
said: "Verily! You are people unknown to me." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
63. |
They
said: "Nay, we have come to you with that (torment)
which they have been doubting. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
64. |
"And
we have brought to you the truth (the
news of the destruction of your nation)
and certainly, we tell the truth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
65. |
"Then
travel in a part of the night with your family, and you go behind
them in the rear, and let no one amongst you look back, but go on
to where you are ordered." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 66. |
And
We made known this decree to him, that the root of those (sinners)
was to be cut off in the early morning. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
67. |
And
the inhabitants of the city came rejoicing (at
the news of the young men's arrival). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
68. |
[Lout
(Lot)] said: "Verily! these
are my guests, so shame me not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 69. |
"And
fear Allah and disgrace me not." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 70. |
They
(people of the city)
said: "Did we not forbid you to entertain (or
protect) any of the 'Alamin
(people, foreigners, strangers,
etc. from us)?" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
71. |
[Lout
(Lot)] said: "These
(the girls of the nation)
are my daughters (to marry
lawfully), if you must act
(so)." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
72. |
Verily,
by your life (O Muhammad SAW),
in their wild intoxication, they were wandering blindly. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 73. |
So
As-Saihah (torment - awful
cry, etc.) overtook them at
the time of sunrise; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
74. |
And
We turned (the towns of Sodom
in Palestine) upside down and
rained down on them stones of baked clay. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
75. |
Surely!
In this are signs, for those who see (or
understand or learn the lessons from the Signs of Allah). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
76. |
And
verily! They (the cities)
were right on the highroad (from
Makkah to Syria i.e. the place where the Dead Sea is now). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 77. |
Surely!
Therein is indeed a sign for the believers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
78. |
And
the dwellers in the wood [i.e.
the people of Madyan (Midian) to whom Prophet Shu'aib was sent by
Allah), were also Zalimun
(polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 79. |
So,
We took vengeance on them. They are both on an open highway, plain
to see. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 80. |
And
verily, the dwellers of Al-Hijr (the
rocky tract) denied the Messengers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
81. |
And
We gave them Our Signs, but they were averse to them. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 82. |
And
they used to hew out dwellings from the mountains (feeling
themselves) secure. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 83. |
But
As-Saihah (torment - awful
cry etc.) overtook them in the
early morning (of the fourth
day of their promised punishment days). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
84. |
And
all that which they used to earn availed them not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
85. |
And
We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them
except with truth, and the Hour is surely coming, so overlook
(O Muhammad SAW),
their faults with gracious forgiveness. [This
was before the ordainment of Jihad holy fighting in Allah's Cause]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
86. |
Verily,
your Lord is the All-Knowing Creator. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
87. |
And
indeed, We have bestowed upon you seven of Al-Mathani (the
seven repeatedly recited Verses),
(i.e. Surat Al-Fatiha)
and the Grand Qur-an. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
88. |
Look
not with your eyes ambitiously at what We have bestowed on certain
classes of them (the disbelievers),
nor grieve over them. And lower your wings for the believers
(be courteous to the fellow-believers). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
89. |
And
say: "I am indeed a plain warner." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 90. |
As
We have sent down on the dividers, (Quraish
pagans or Jews and Christians). |
