26. Surah Ash-Shu'ara – Verses 161–200

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

— Saheeh International

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

— Saheeh International

So fear Allāh and obey me.

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

Do you approach males among the worlds1

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

So We saved him and his family, all,

— Saheeh International

Except an old woman1 among those who remained behind.

— Saheeh International

Then We destroyed the others.

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

The companions of the thicket [i.e., the people of Madyan] denied the messengers

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

— Saheeh International

So fear Allāh and obey me.

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

And fear He who created you and the former creation."1

— Saheeh International

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

— Saheeh International

You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars.

— Saheeh International

So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful."

— Saheeh International

He said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do."

— Saheeh International

And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day.

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

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

— Saheeh International

And indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.

— Saheeh International

The Trustworthy Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] has brought it down

— Saheeh International

Upon your heart, [O Muḥammad] - that you may be of the warners -

— Saheeh International

In a clear Arabic language.

— Saheeh International

And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.

— Saheeh International

And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?

— Saheeh International

And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners1

— Saheeh International

And he had recited it to them [perfectly],1 they would [still] not have been believers in it.

— Saheeh International

Thus have We inserted it [i.e., disbelief] into the hearts of the criminals.

— Saheeh International
