27:51
Then see what was the end of their plot!- this, that We
destroyed them and their people, all(of them).
27:52
Now such were their houses, – in utter ruin, – because
they practised wrong-doing. Verily in this is a
Sign for people of knowledge.
27:53
And We saved those who believed and practised
righteousness.
27:54
(We also sent) Lut (as a messenger): behold, He said to
his people, “Do ye do what is shameful though ye
see (its iniquity)?
27:55
Would ye really approach men in your lusts rather than
women? Nay, ye are a people (grossly)ignorant!
27:56
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!”
27:57
But We saved him and his family, except his wife; her
We destined to be of those who lagged behind.
27:58
And We rained down on them a shower (of brimstone):
and evil was the shower on those who were
admonished (but heeded not)!
27:59
Say: Praise be to Allah, and Peace on his servants whom
He has chosen (for his Message).(Who) is
100
better?- Allah or the false gods they associate (with
Him)?
27:60
Or, Who has created the heavens and the earth, and Who
sends you down rain from the sky? Yea, with
it We cause to grow well-planted orchards full of beauty
of delight: it is not in your power to cause the
growth of the trees in them. (Can there be another) god
besides Allah? Nay, they are a people who
swerve from justice.
27:61
Or, Who has made the earth firm to live in; made rivers in
its midst; set thereon mountains
immovable; and made a separating bar between the two
bodies of flowing water? (can there be
another) god besides Allah? Nay, most of them know not.
27:62
Or, Who listens to the (soul) distressed when it calls on
Him, and Who relieves its suffering, and
makes you (mankind) inheritors of the earth? (Can there
be another) god besides Allah?Little it is that
ye heed!
27:63
Or, Who guides you through the depths of darkness on
land and sea, and Who sends the winds as heralds
of glad tidings, going before His Mercy? (Can there be
another) god besides Allah?- High is Allah above
what they associate with Him!
27:64
Or, Who originates creation, then repeats it, and who
gives you sustenance from heaven and earth? (Can there
be another) god besides Allah? Say, “Bring forth your
argument, if ye are telling
the truth!”
27:65
Say: None in the heavens or on earth, except Allah,
knows what is hidden: nor can they perceive
when they shall be raised up (for Judgment).
27:66
Still less can their knowledge comprehend the Hereafter:
Nay, they are in doubt and uncertainty
thereanent; nay, they are blind thereunto!
27:67
The Unbelievers say: “What! when we become dust,- we
and our fathers,- shall we really be raised
(from the dead)?
27:68
“It is true we were promised this,- we and our fathers
before (us): these are nothing but tales of the
ancients.”
27:69
Say: “Go ye through the earth and see what has been the
end of those guilty (of sin).”
27:70
But grieve not over them, nor distress thyself because of
their plots.
27:71
They also say: “When will this promise (come to pass)?
(Say) if ye are truthful.”
27:72
Say: “It may be that some of the events which ye wish to
hasten on may be (close) in your pursuit!”
27:73
But verily thy Lord is full of grace to mankind: Yet most
of them are ungrateful.
27:74
And verily thy Lord knoweth all that their hearts do hide.
As well as all that they reveal
