26. Shuara · verses 166–173

وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمۡ رَبُّكُم مِّنۡ أَزۡوَٰجِكُمۚ بَلۡ أَنتُمۡ قَوۡمٌ عَادُونَ

Watatharoona ma khalaqa lakum rabbukum min azwajikum bal antum qawmun AAadoona

"And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay, ye are a people transgressing (all limits)!"

قَالُواْ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ يَٰلُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمُخۡرَجِينَ

Qaloo lain lam tantahi ya lootu latakoonanna mina almukhrajeena

They said: "If thou desist not, O Lut! thou wilt assuredly be cast out!"

قَالَ إِنِّي لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقَالِينَ

Qala innee liAAamalikum mina alqaleena

He said: "I do detest your doings."

رَبِّ نَجِّنِي وَأَهۡلِي مِمَّا يَعۡمَلُونَ

Rabbi najjinee waahlee mimma yaAAmaloona

"O my Lord! deliver me and my family from such things as they do!"

فَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

Fanajjaynahu waahlahu ajmaAAeena

So We delivered him and his family,- all

إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ

Illa AAajoozan fee alghabireena

Except an old woman who lingered behind.

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Thumma dammarna alakhareena

But the rest We destroyed utterly.

وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِم مَّطَرٗاۖ فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

Waamtarna AAalayhim mataran fasaa mataru almunthareena

We rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): and evil was the shower on those who were admonished (but heeded not)!
