Sura 15 Al-Hijr, ayah 60 – 77

1. إِلَّا امْرَأَتَهُ قَدَّرْنَا ۙ إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ الْغَابِرِينَ

   Except his wife." Allah decreed that she is of those who remain behind.

   15:60

2. فَلَمَّا جَاءَ آلَ لُوطٍ الْمُرْسَلُونَ

   And when the messengers came to the family of Lot,

   15:61

3. قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ مُنْكَرُونَ

   He said, "Indeed, you are people unknown."

   15:62

4. قَالُوا بَلْ جِئْنَاكَ بِمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ

   They said, "But we have come to you with that about which they were disputing,

   15:63

5. وَأَتَيْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّا لَصَادِقُونَ

   And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful.

   15:64

6. فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَاتَّبِعْ أَدْبَارَهُمْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ وَامْضُوا حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُونَ

   So set out with your family during a portion of the night and follow behind them and let not anyone among you look back and continue on to where you are commanded."

   15:65

7. وَقَضَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ ذَٰلِكَ الْأَمْرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَٰؤُلَاءِ مَقْطُوعٌ مُصْبِحِينَ

   And We conveyed to him (the decree) of that matter: that those (sinners) would be eliminated by early morning.

   15:66

8. وَجَاءَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ

   And the people of the city came rejoicing.

   15:67

9. قَالَ إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ ضَيْفِي فَلَا تَفْضَحُونِ

   (Lot) said, "Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me.

   15:68

10. وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُخْزُونِ

    And fear Allah and do not disgrace me."

    15:69

11. قَالُوا أَوَلَمْ نَنْهَكَ عَنِ الْعَالَمِينَ

    They said, "Have we not forbidden you from (protecting) people?"

    15:70

12. قَالَ هَٰؤُلَاءِ بَنَاتِي إِنْ كُنْتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ

    (Lot) said, "These are my daughters - if you would be doers (of lawful marriage)."

    15:71

13. لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِي سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ

    By your life, (O Muhammad), indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly.

    15:72

14. فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِينَ

    So the shriek seized them at sunrise.

    15:73

15. فَجَعَلْنَا عَالِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِنْ سِجِّيلٍ

    And We made the highest part (of the city) its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay.

    15:74

16. إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ

    Indeed in that are signs for those who discern.

    15:75

17. وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍ مُقِيمٍ

    And indeed, those cities are (situated) on an established road.

    15:76

18. إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

    Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.

    15:77
