26. Sūrat al-Shuʿarāʾ
٢٦۔ سُورَةُ الشُّعَرَاء
كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
When their brother Lot said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ لُوطٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
أَتَأْتُونَ الذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ
And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing."
وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ ۚ بَلْ أَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ
They said, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted."
قَالُوا لَئِنْ لَمْ تَنْتَهِ يَا لُوطُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُخْرَجِينَ
He said, "Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest ˹it˺.
قَالَ إِنِّي لِعَمَلِكُمْ مِنَ الْقَالِينَ
My Lord, save me and my family from ˹the consequence of˺ what they do."
رَبِّ نَجِّنِي وَأَهْلِي مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ
فَنَجَّيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ
إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِي الْغَابِرِينَ
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا الْآخَرِينَ
And We rained upon them a rain ˹of stones˺, and evil was the rain of those who were warned.
وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ مَطَرًا ۖ فَسَاءَ مَطَرُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
