The people of Lot denied the messengers

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ١٦١

When their brother Lot said to them, "Will you not fear Allāh?

إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ ١٦٢

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ١٦٣

So fear Allāh and obey me.

وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ١٦٤

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

أَتَأْتُونَ الذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ ١٦٥

Do you approach males among the worlds

وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَاجِكُم بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ ١٦٦

And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing."

قَالُوا لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَا لُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُخْرَجِينَ ١٦٧

They said, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted."

قَالَ إِنِّي لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ الْقَالِينَ ١٦٨

He said, "Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest [it].

رَبِّ نَجِّنِي وَأَهْلِي مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ ١٦٩

My Lord, save me and my family from [the consequence of] what they do."

فَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ ١٧٠

So We saved him and his family, all,

إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِينَ ١٧١

Except an old woman among those who remained behind.

ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْآخَرِينَ ١٧٢

Then We destroyed the others.

وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًا فَسَاءَ مَطَرُ الْمُنذَرِينَ ١٧٣

And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ١٧٤

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ ١٧٥

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

When Shuʿayb said to them, "Will you not fear Allāh?

إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ ١٧٨

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ ١٧٩

So fear Allāh and obey me.

وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ١٨٠

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

أَوْفُوا الْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُخْسِرِينَ ١٨١

Give full measure and do not be of those who cause loss.

وَزِنُوا بِالْقِسْطَاسِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ ١٨٢

And weigh with an even [i.e., honest] balance.

وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ ١٨٣

And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption.
