15:69 وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُخْزُونِ — And fear Allāh...
15:69 وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُخْزُونِ
●And fear Allāh and do not disgrace me."
15:70 قَالُوٓا۟ أَوَلَمْ نَنْهَكَ عَنِ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
●They said, "Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?"
15:71 قَالَ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِىٓ إِن كُنتُمْ فَـٰعِلِينَ
●[Lot] said, "These are my daughters 1 - if you would be doers [of lawful marriage]."
15:72 لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِى سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ
— By your life, [O Muḥammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly. 15:73 فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِينَ
— So the shriek 1 seized them at sunrise. 15:74 فَجَعَلْنَا عَـٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ
— And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay. 15:75 إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ
— Indeed in that are signs for those who discern. 15:76 وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍ مُّقِيمٍ
— And indeed, they [i.e., those cities] are [situated] on an established road. 15:77 إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
— Indeed in that is a sign for the believers. 15:78 وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ لَظَـٰلِمِينَ
●And the companions of the thicket [i.e., the people of Madyan] were [also] wrongdoers,
15:79 فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ
— So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway. 15:80 وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْحِجْرِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
— And certainly did the companions of al-Ḥijr 1 [i.e., the Thamūd] deny the messengers. 15:81 وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا فَكَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ
— And We gave them Our signs, but from them they were turning away. 15:82 وَكَانُوا۟ يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا ءَامِنِينَ
— And they used to carve from the mountains, houses, feeling secure. 15:83 فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِينَ
●But the shriek seized them at early morning,
15:84 فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
— So nothing availed them [from] what they used to earn. 15:85 وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَـَٔاتِيَةٌ ۖ فَٱصْفَحِ ٱلصَّفْحَ ٱلْجَمِيلَ
— And We have not created the heavens and earth and that between them except in truth. And indeed, the Hour is coming; so forgive with gracious forgiveness. 15:86 إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلْخَلَّـٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
●Indeed, your Lord - He is the Knowing Creator.
