An-Naml
وَلَقَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا٘ اِلٰي ثَمُوۡدَ اَخَاهُمۡ صٰلِحًا اَنِ اعۡبُدُوا اللّٰهَ فَاِذَا هُمۡ فَرِيۡقٰنِ يَخۡتَصِمُوۡنَ
And We had certainly sent to Thamud their brother Salih, [saying], "Worship Allah," and at once they were two parties conflicting
قَالَ يٰقَوۡمِ لِمَ تَسۡتَعۡجِلُوۡنَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ قَبۡلَ الۡحَسَنَةِۚ لَوۡلَا تَسۡتَغۡفِرُوۡنَ اللّٰهَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُوۡنَ
He said, "O my people, why are you impatient for evil instead of good? Why do you not seek forgiveness of Allah that you may receive mercy
قَالُوا اطَّيَّرۡنَا بِكَ وَبِمَنۡ مَّعَكَؕ قَالَ طٰٓئِرُكُمۡ عِنۡدَ اللّٰهِ بَلۡ اَنۡتُمۡ قَوۡمٌ تُفۡتَنُوۡنَ
They said, "We consider you a bad omen, you and those with you." He said, "Your omen is with Allah. Rather, you are a people being tested
وَكَانَ فِي الۡمَدِيۡنَةِ تِسۡعَةُ رَهۡطٍ يُّفۡسِدُوۡنَ فِي الۡاَرۡضِ وَلَا يُصۡلِحُوۡنَ
And there were in the city nine family heads causing corruption in the land and not amending [its affairs]
قَالُوۡا تَقَاسَمُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ لَنُبَيِّتَنَّهٗ وَاَهۡلَهٗ ثُمَّ لَنَقُوۡلَنَّ لِوَلِيِّهٖ مَا شَهِدۡنَا مَهۡلِكَ اَهۡلِهٖ وَاِنَّا لَصٰدِقُوۡنَ
They said, "Take a mutual oath by Allah that we will kill him by night, he and his family. Then we will say to his executor, 'We did not witness the destruction of his family, and indeed, we are truthful
وَمَكَرُوۡا مَكۡرًا وَّمَكَرۡنَا مَكۡرًا وَّهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُوۡنَ
And they planned a plan, and We planned a plan, while they perceived not
فَانۡظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ مَكۡرِهِمۡۙ اَنَّا دَمَّرۡنٰهُمۡ وَقَوۡمَهُمۡ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَ
Then look how was the outcome of their plan - that We destroyed them and their people, all
فَتِلۡكَ بُيُوۡتُهُمۡ خَاوِيَةًۭ بِمَا ظَلَمُوۡاؕ اِنَّ فِيۡ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّقَوۡمٍ يَّعۡلَمُوۡنَ
So those are their houses, desolate because of the wrong they had done. Indeed in that is a sign for people who know
وَاَنۡجَيۡنَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَكَانُوۡا يَتَّقُوۡنَ
And We saved those who believed and used to fear Allah
وَلُوۡطًا اِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهٖ٘ اَتَاۡتُوۡنَ الۡفَاحِشَةَ وَاَنۡتُمۡ تُبۡصِرُوۡنَ
And [mention] Lot, when he said to his people, "Do you commit immorality while you are seeing
اَئِنَّكُمۡ لَتَاۡتُوۡنَ الرِّجَالَ شَهۡوَةً مِّنۡ دُوۡنِ النِّسَآءِؕ بَلۡ اَنۡتُمۡ قَوۡمٌ تَجۡهَلُوۡنَ
Do you indeed approach men with desire instead of women? Rather, you are a people behaving ignorantly
