وَ لَمَّا جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَاۤ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ بِالْبُشْرٰی ۙ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّا مُهْلِكُوْۤا اَهْلِ هٰذِهِ الْقَرْیَةِ ۚ اِنَّ اَهْلَهَا كَانُوْا ظٰلِمِیْنَۚۖ۝۳۱

When Our messengers came to Abraham with good news, they said: "We have to destroy this city as its inhabitants have become sinful."

قَالَ اِنَّ فِیْهَا لُوْطًا ؕ قَالُوْا نَحْنُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ فِیْهَا ؗۥ لَنُنَجِّیَنَّهٗ وَ اَهْلَهٗۤ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَهٗ ؗۗ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغٰبِرِیْنَ۝۳۲

He said: "Surely Lot is there." They answered: "We know who is there. We are to save him and his family except his wife, for she is one of those who will stay behind."

وَ لَمَّاۤ اَنْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوْطًا سِیْٓءَ بِهِمْ وَ ضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَّ قَالُوْا لَا تَخَفْ وَ لَا تَحْزَنْ ۫ اِنَّا مُنَجُّوْكَ وَ اَهْلَكَ اِلَّا امْرَاَتَكَ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغٰبِرِیْنَ۝۳۳

So, when Our messengers came to Lot, he was worried on their account as he was unable to protect them. They said: "Have no fear or regret. We will certainly save you and your family except your wife, for she is one of those who will stay behind.

اِنَّا مُنْزِلُوْنَ عَلٰۤی اَهْلِ هٰذِهِ الْقَرْیَةِ رِجْزًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَفْسُقُوْنَ۝۳۴

We have to bring a scourge from the heavens on the people of this city as they are depraved."

وَ لَقَدْ تَّرَكْنَا مِنْهَاۤ اٰیَةًۢ بَیِّنَةً لِّقَوْمٍ یَّعْقِلُوْنَ۝۳۵

Verily We have left a clear sign of this for people of sense to see.

وَ اِلٰی مَدْیَنَ اَخَاهُمْ شُعَیْبًا ۙ فَقَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَ ارْجُوا الْیَوْمَ الْاٰخِرَ وَ لَا تَعْثَوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِیْنَ۝۳۶

To Midian We sent their brother Shu´aib. He said: "O people, worship God and be ready for the Day of Resurrection. Do no evil, and create no mischief in the land."

فَكَذَّبُوْهُ فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِیْ دَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِیْنَؗ۝۳۷

But they denied him and were seized by an earthquake, and lay overturned in their homes in the morning.

وَ عَادًا وَّ ثَمُوْدَاۡ وَ قَدْ تَّبَیَّنَ لَكُمْ مِّنْ مَّسٰكِنِهِمْ ۫ وَ زَیَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّیْطٰنُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِیْلِ وَ كَانُوْا مُسْتَبْصِرِیْنَۙ۝۳۸

And (remember) ´Ad and Thamud. It will be clear to you from their habitations (how they were destroyed), for Satan had made their deeds look attractive to them, and turned them away from the path; and yet they were a people of acumen.

وَ قَارُوْنَ وَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ هَامٰنَ ۫ وَ لَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ مُّوْسٰی بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا كَانُوْا سٰبِقِیْنَۚۖ۝۳۹

(Remember) Qarun, Pharaoh and Haman to whom Moses came with clear signs; but they were haughty (and oppressed) the land. Yet they could not run away from Us;

فَكُلًّا اَخَذْنَا بِذَنْۢبِهٖ ۚ فَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ اَرْسَلْنَا عَلَیْهِ حَاصِبًا ۚ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ اَخَذَتْهُ الصَّیْحَةُ ۚ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ خَسَفْنَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَ ۚ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ اَغْرَقْنَا ۚ وَ مَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِیَظْلِمَهُمْ وَ لٰكِنْ كَانُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ یَظْلِمُوْنَ۝۴۰

And We seized all of them for their crimes. Against some We sent a violent wind hurling stones, and some We seized with a mighty blast, and some We submerged under the earth, and some We drowned. It was not for God to wrong them, they wronged themselves.
