And certainly

We sent

to

Thamud

their brother

Salih

that

Worship

Allah

Then behold

They

(became) two parties

quarreling

He said

O my people

Why

(do) you seek to hasten

the evil

before

the good

Why not

you ask forgiveness

(of) Allah

so that you may

receive mercy

They said

We consider you a bad omen

We consider you a bad omen

and those

with you

He said

Your bad omen

(is) with

Allah

Nay

you

(are) a people

being tested

And were

in

the city

nine

family heads

they were spreading corruption

in

the land

and not

reforming

They said

Swear to each other

by Allah

surely, we will attack him by night

and his family

Then

we will surely say

to his heir

Not

we witnessed

(the) destruction

(of) his family

and indeed, we

(are) surely truthful

So they plotted

a plot

and We planned

a plan

while they

(did) not

perceive

Then see

how

was

(the) end

(of) their plot

that We

destroyed them

and their people

all

So, these

(are) their houses

ruined

because

they wronged

Indeed

in

that

surely, is a sign

for a people

who know

And We saved

those who

believed

and used (to)

fear (Allah)

And Lut

when

he said

to his people

Do you commit

[the] immorality

while you

see

Why do you

approach

the men

(with) lust

instead of

instead of

the women

Nay

you

(are) a people

ignorant
