[26:160]

The folk of Lot denied the messengers (of Allah),

[26:161]

When their brother Lot said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil) ?

[26:162]

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you,

[26:163]

So keep your duty to Allah and obey me.

[26:164]

And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.

[26:165]

What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males,

[26:166]

And leave the wives your Lord created for you ? Nay, but ye are froward folk.

[26:167]

They said: If thou cease not, O Lot, thou wilt soon be of the outcast.

[26:168]

He said: I am in truth of those who hate your conduct.

[26:169]

My Lord! Save me and my household from what they do.

[26:170]

So We saved him and his household, every one,

[26:171]

Save an old woman among those who stayed behind.

[26:172]

Then afterward We destroyed the others.

[26:173]

And We rained on them a rain. And dreadful is the rain of those who have been warned.

[26:174]

Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.

[26:175]

And lo! thy Lord, He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.

[26:176]

The dwellers in the wood (of Midian) denied the messengers (of Allah),

[26:177]

When Shu’eyb said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil) ?

[26:178]

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you,

[26:179]

So keep your duty to Allah and obey me.

[26:180]

And I ask of you no wage for it; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds.

[26:181]

Give full measure, and be not of those who give less (than the due).

[26:182]

And weigh with the true balance.

[26:183]

Wrong not mankind in their goods, and do not evil, making mischief, in the earth.
