Chapter 15, Page 266, Juz 14

61. And when the messengers came to the family of Lot, 62. He said, "Indeed, you are people unknown." 63. They said, "But we have come to you with that about which they were disputing, 64. And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful. 65. So set out with your family during a portion of the night and follow behind them and let not anyone among you look back and continue on to where you are commanded." 66. And We conveyed to him [the decree] of that matter: that those [sinners] would be eliminated by early morning. 67. And the people of the city came rejoicing. 68. [Lot] said, "Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me. 69. And fear Allāh and do not disgrace me." 70. They said, "Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?" 71. [Lot] said, "These are my daughters - if you would be doers [of lawful marriage]." 72. By your life, [O Muḥammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly. 73. So the shriek seized them at sunrise. 74. And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay. 75. Indeed in that are signs for those who discern. 76. And indeed, they [i.e., those cities] are [situated] on an established road. 77. Indeed in that is a sign for the believers. 78. And the companions of the thicket [i.e., the people of Madyan] were [also] wrongdoers, 79. So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway.
