Order of Revelation: 48وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَتَأْتُونَ الْفَاحِشَةَ وَأَنتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ
Walootan ith qala liqawmihi ata/toona alfahishata waantum tubsiroona
And Lut, when he said to his people, "Do you commit [the] immorality while you see?
AND [thus, too, did We save] Lot, when he said unto his people: Would you commit this abomination with your eyes open (to its being against all nature)?
(We also sent) Lut (as an apostle): behold, He said to his people, "Do ye do what is shameful though ye see (its iniquity)?
And Lot! when he said unto his folk: Will ye commit abomination knowingly?
And Lot, when he said to his people: Do you commit foul deeds, while you see?
And [mention] Lot, when he said to his people, "Do you commit immorality while you are seeing?
أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ الرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّن دُونِ النِّسَاءِ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ
A-innakum lata/toona alrrijala shahwatan min dooni alnnisa-i bal antum qawmun tajhaloona
Why do you approach the men (with) lust instead of the women? Nay, you (are) a people ignorant."
Must you really approach men with lust instead of women? Nay, but you are people without any awareness (of right and wrong)!"
Would ye really approach men in your lusts rather than women? Nay, ye are a people (grossly) ignorant!
Must ye needs lust after men instead of women? Nay, but ye are folk who act senselessly.
Will you come to men lustfully rather than women? Nay, you are a people who act ignorantly.
Do you indeed approach men with desire instead of women? Rather, you are a people behaving ignorantly."
فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِ إِلَّا أَن قَالُوا أَخْرِجُوا آلَ لُوطٍ مِّن قَرْيَتِكُمْ إِنَّهُمْ أُنَاسٌ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ
Fama kana jawaba qawmihi illa an qaloo akhrijoo ala lootin min qaryatikum innahum onasun yatatahharoona
But not was (the) answer (of) his people except that they said, "Drive out (the) family (of) Lut from your town. Indeed, they (are) people who keep clean
But his people's only answer was this: Expel [Lot and] Lot's followers from your township! Verily, they are folk who make themselves out to be pure!"
But his people gave no other answer but this: they said, "Drive out the followers of Lut from your city: these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!"
But the answer of his folk was naught save that they said: Expel the household of Lot from your township, for they (forsooth) are folk who would keep clean!
But the answer of his people was naught except that they said: Drive out Lot's followers from your town; surely they are a people who would keep pure!
But the answer of his people was not except that they said, "Expel the family of Lot from your city. Indeed, they are people who keep themselves pure."
فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَأَهْلَهُ إِلَّا امْرَأَتَهُ قَدَّرْنَاهَا مِنَ الْغَابِرِينَ
Faanjaynahu waahlahu illa imraatahu qaddarnaha mina alghabireena
So We saved him and his family, except his wife; We destined her (to be) of those who remained behind.
Thereupon We saved him and his household - all but his wife, whom We willed to be among those that stayed behind -*
But We saved him and his family, except his wife; her We destined to be of those who lagged behind.
Then We saved him and his household save his wife; We destined her to be of those who stayed behind.
But We delivered him and his followers except his wife; We ordained her to be of those who remained behind.
So We saved him and his family, except for his wife; We destined her to be of those who remained behind.
وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًا فَسَاءَ مَطَرُ الْمُنذَرِينَ
Waamtarna AAalayhim mataran fasaa mataru almunthareena
And We rained upon them a rain, and was evil (the) rain (on) those who were warned.
the while We rained a rain [of destruction] upon the others: and dire is such rain upon all who let themselves be warned [to no avail]
And We rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): and evil was the shower on those who were admonished (but heeded not)!
And We rained a rain upon them. Dreadful is the rain of those who have been warned.
And We rained on them a rain; so evil was the rain on those who had been warned.
And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.
قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ عِبَادِهِ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَىٰ آللَّهُ خَيْرٌ أَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ
Quli alhamdu lillahi wasalamun AAala AAibadihi allatheena istafa allahu khayrun amma yushrikoona
Say, "All praise (be) to Allah, and peace (be) upon His slaves those whom He has chosen. Is Allah better or what they associate (with Him)?"
SAY: All praise is due to God, and peace be upon those servants of His whom He chose [to be His message-bearers]!" Is not God far better than anything to which men [falsely] ascribe a share in His divinity?
Say: Praise be to God, and Peace on his servants whom He has chosen (for his Message). (Who) is better?- God or the false gods they associate (with Him)?
Say (O Muhammad): Praise be to Allah, and peace be on His slaves whom He hath chosen! Is Allah best, or (all) that ye ascribe as partners (unto Him)?
Say: Praise be to Allah and peace on His servants whom He has chosen! Is Allah better or what they associate (with Him)?
Say, [O Muhammad], "Praise be to Allah , and peace upon His servants whom He has chosen. Is Allah better or what they associate with Him?"
