The people of Lot cried lies to the Envoys 160 When their brother Lot said to them: "Will you not take heed? 161 I am a trustworthy Messenger to you. 162 So keep your duty to Allah and obey me. 163 I ask no recompense of you for this. My reward is due from none but the Lord of all the worlds. 164 What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males, 165 "And leave the wives your Lord has created for you? In fact you are people who exceed the limits." 166 They said, "Lot, if you do not give up preaching, you will certainly be expelled (from this town)". 167 He said: 'Truly, I am a detester of what you do' 168 My Lord, deliver me and my family from their wicked deeds." 169 So We saved him and all his people, 170 Except an old woman who lingered behind. 171 But the rest We destroyed utterly. 172 And rained on them a shower of Stones. How terrible was the rain that fell on those who had been warned! 173 In this there is an evidence of the Truth, but many of them did not have any faith. 174 your Lord is the Mighty One, the Merciful. 175
