161 When their brother Lot said to them: Will you not guard against evil? |
162 Surely I am a faithful messenger to you: |
163 So keep your duty to Allāh and obey me. |
164 And I ask of you no reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds. |
165 Do you come to the males from among the creatures, |
166 And leave your wives whom your Lord has created for you? Nay, you are a people exceeding limits. |
167 They said: If thou desist not, O Lot, thou wilt surely be banished. |
168 He said: Surely I abhor what you do. |
169 My Lord, deliver me and my followers from what they do. |
170 So We delivered him and his followers all, |
171 Except an old woman, among those who remained behind. |
172 Then We destroyed the others. |
173 And We rained on them a rain, and evil was the rain on those warned. |
174 Surely there is a sign in this; yet most of them believe not. |
175 And surely thy Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful. |
176 The dwellers of the grove gave the lie to the messengers. |
177 When Shu‘aib said to them: Will you not guard against evil? |
178 Surely I am a faithful messenger to you; |
179 So keep your duty to Allāh and obey me. |
180 And I ask of you no reward for it; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds. |
181 Give full measure and be not of those who diminish. |
182 And weigh with a true balance. |
183 And wrong not men of their dues, and act not corruptly in the earth, making mischief. |
184 And keep your duty to Him Who created you and the former generations. |
