قَالُوا لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَا لُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُخْرَجِينَ
They said, ‘If you do not desist, Lot, you will surely be banished.’
168
قَالَ إِنِّي لِعَمَلِكُم مِّنَ الْقَالِينَ
He said, ‘I am one of those who abhors your ways.
169
رَبِّ نَجِّنِي وَأَهْلِي مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ
My Lord, save me and my family from their evil doings.’
170
فَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ
We saved him and all of his family,
171
إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِينَ
except for an old woman who stayed behind,
172
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْآخَرِينَ
then We totally destroyed the rest,
173
وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًا فَسَاء مَطَرُ الْمُنذَرِينَ
and We poured a rain [of destruction] down upon them—and how evil was the rain which fell on those who were forewarned.
174
إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Surely in this there is a sign: but most of them would not believe:
175
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
your Lord is the Mighty One, the Merciful.
