And see what was the end of their device!  We destroyed them and their whole people: 

And for their sin these their houses are empty ruins:  Verily in this is a sign to those who understand;

And we delivered those who believed and feared.

And Lot, when he said to his people, “What! proceed ye to such filthiness with your eyes open?

What! come ye with lust unto men rather than to women?  Surely ye are an ignorant people.”

And the answer of his people was but to say, “Cast out the family of Lot from your city:  they, forsooth, are men of purity!”

So we rescued him and his family:  but as for his wife, we decreed her to be of them that lingered: 

And we rained a rain upon them, and fatal was the rain to those who had had their warning.

Say:  Praise be to God and peace be on His servants whom He hath chosen!  Is God the more worthy or the gods they join with Him?

Is not He who hath made the Heavens and the Earth, and hath sent down rain to you from Heaven, by which we cause the luxuriant groves to spring up!  It is not in your power to cause its trees to spring up!  What!  A god with God?  Yet they find equals for Him!

Is not He, who hath set the earth so firm, and hath made rivers in its midst, and hath placed mountains upon it, and put a barrier between the two seas?11 What! a god with God?  Yet the greater part of them have no knowledge!

Is not He the more worthy who answereth the oppressed when they cry to him, and taketh off their ills, and maketh you to succeed your sires on the earth?  What! a god with God?  How few bear these things in mind!

Is not He, who guideth you in the darkness of the land and of the sea, and who sendeth forth the winds as the forerunners of His mercy?  What! a god with God?  Far from God be what ye join with Him!

Is not He, who created a Being, then reneweth it, and who supplieth you out of the Heaven and the Earth?  What! a god with God?  Say:  Bring forth your proofs if you speak the truth.

Say:  None either in the Heavens or in the Earth knoweth the unseen but God.  And they know not

When they shall be raised.

-Yet they have attained to a knowledge of the life to come:12-yet are they in doubt about it:-yet are they blind about it!

And the unbelievers say:  “When we and our fathers have been dead shall we be taken forth?

Of old have we been promised this, we and our sires of old it is but fables of the ancients.”

Say:  Go ye through the land, and see what hath been the end of the wicked.

And grieve not thou for them, nor be in distress at their devisings.

And they say, “When will this promise be made good, if ye speak true?”

Say:  Haply a part of what ye desire to be hastened may be close behind you.

And truly thy Lord is full of goodness towards men:  But most of them are not thankful.
