The people of Lot cried lies to the Envoys 160 When their brother Lut said unto them: fear ye not? 161 I am for you an honest Messenger. 162 So keep your duty to Allah and obey me. 163 And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds. 164 What! do you come to the males from among the creatures 165 leaving aside those whom Allah has created for you as your mates. Nay, you are a people that has transgressed all limits." 166 They said: If thou cease not, O Lot, thou wilt soon be of the outcast. 167 He said, "I certainly hate what you practice. 168 And prayed: "O Lord, save me and my family from what they do." 169 So We saved him and his family, all, 170 Except one old woman, who stayed behind. 171 Thereafter, We utterly destroyed the rest, 172 And rained on them a shower. How terrible was the rain on those who had been warned! 173 Surely in that is a sign, yet most of them are not believers. 174 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful. 175
