And when

came

Our messengers

(to) Ibrahim

with the glad tidings

they said

Indeed, we

(are) going to destroy

(the) people

(of) this

town

Indeed

its people

are

wrongdoers

He said

Indeed

in it

(is) Lut

They said

We

know better

who

(is) in it

We will surely save him

and his family

except

his wife

She

(is) of

those who remain behind

And when

[that]

came

Our messengers

(to) Lut

he was distressed

for them

and felt straitened

for them

(and) uneasy

And they said

(Do) not

fear

and (do) not

grieve

Indeed, we

(will) save you

and your family

except

your wife

She

(is) of

those who remain behind

Indeed, we

(will) bring down

on

(the) people

(of) this

town

a punishment

from

(the) sky

because

they have been

defiantly disobedient

And verily

We have left

about it

a sign

(as) evidence

for a people

who use reason

And to

Madyan

their brother

Shuaib

And he said

O my people

Worship

Allah

and expect

the Day

the Last

and (do) not

commit evil

in

the earth

(as) corrupters

But they denied him

so seized them

the earthquake

and they became

in

their home

fallen prone

And Aad

and Thamud

and verily

(has) become clear

to you

from

their dwellings

And made fair-seeming

to them

the Shaitaan

their deeds

and averted them

from

the Way

though they were

endowed with insight
