Verses about Prophet Lot

As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful.

And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning.

And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], ‘ Taste My punishment and warning.’

So taste My punishment and warning.

And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing.’

They said, ‘ If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted.’

He said, ‘ Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest [it].

So We saved him and his family, all,

Except an old woman among those who remained behind.

Then We destroyed the others.

She said, ‘ Woe to me! Shall I give birth while I am an old woman and this, my husband, is an old man? Indeed, this is an amazing thing!’

They said, ‘ Are you amazed at the decree of Allah? May the mercy of Allah and His blessings be upon you, people of the house. Indeed, He is Praiseworthy and Honorable.’

And when the fright had left Abraham and the good tidings had reached him, he began to argue with Us concerning the people of Lot.

Indeed, Abraham was forbearing, grieving and [frequently] returning [to Allah].

[The angels said], ‘ O Abraham, give up this [plea]. Indeed, the command of your Lord has come, and indeed, there will reach them a punishment that cannot be repelled.’

And when Our messengers, [the angels], came to Lot, he was anguished for them and felt for them great discomfort and said, ‘ This is a trying day.’

And his people came hastening to him, and before [this] they had been doing evil deeds. He said, ‘ O my people, these are my daughters; they are purer for you. So fear Allah and do not disgrace me concerning my guests. Is there not among you a man of reason?’

They said, ‘ You have already known that we have not concerning your daughters any claim, and indeed, you know what we want.’

He said, ‘ If only I had against you some power or could take refuge in a strong support.’

The angels said, ‘ O Lot, indeed we are messengers of your Lord; [therefore], they will never reach you. So set out with your family during a portion of the night and let not any among you look back - except your wife; indeed, she will be struck by that which strikes them. Indeed, their appointment is [for] the morning. Is not the morning near?’

Except the family of Lot; indeed, we will save them all

Except his wife.’ Allah decreed that she is of those who remain behind.

And when the messengers came to the family of Lot,

He said, ‘ Indeed, you are people unknown.’

They said, ‘ But we have come to you with that about which they were disputing,

And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful.

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.’

And We conveyed to him [the decree] of that matter: that those [sinners] would be eliminated by early morning.

And the people of the city came rejoicing.

[Lot] said, ‘ Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me.

And fear Allah and do not disgrace me.’

They said, ‘ Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?’

[Lot] said, ‘ These are my daughters - if you would be doers [of lawful marriage].’

By your life, [O Muhammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly.

So the shriek seized them at sunrise.

And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay.

Indeed in that are signs for those who discern.

And indeed, those cities are [situated] on an established road.

Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.

And the companions of the thicket were [also] wrongdoers.

So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway.

And [some] among their fathers and their descendants and their brothers - and We chose them and We guided them to a straight path.

That is the guidance of Allah by which He guides whomever He wills of His servants. But if they had associated others with Allah, then worthless for them would be whatever they were doing.

Those are the ones to whom We gave the Scripture and authority and prophethood. But if the disbelievers deny it, then We have entrusted it to a people who are not therein disbelievers.

Those are the ones whom Allah has guided, so from their guidance take an example. Say, ‘ I ask of you for this message no payment. It is not but a reminder for the worlds.’

[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all,

Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers].

Then We destroyed the others.

And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

And at night. Then will you not use reason?

When they entered upon him and said, ‘ [We greet you with] peace.’ He answered, ‘ [And upon you] peace, [you are] a people unknown.

They said, ‘ Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals

To send down upon them stones of clay,

Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors.’

So We brought out whoever was in the cities of the believers.

And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.

And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

And they intended for him harm, but We made them the greatest losers.

And We delivered him and Lot to the land which We had blessed for the worlds.

And We gave him Isaac and Jacob in addition, and all [of them] We made righteous.

And We made them leaders guiding by Our command. And We inspired to them the doing of good deeds, establishment of prayer, and giving of zakah; and they were worshippers of Us.

And to Lot We gave judgement and knowledge, and We saved him from the city that was committing wicked deeds. Indeed, they were a people of evil, defiantly disobedient.

And We admitted him into Our mercy. Indeed, he was of the righteous.

And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity].

Indeed, you approach men and obstruct the road and commit in your meetings [every] evil.’ And the answer of his people was not but they said, ‘ Bring us the punishment of Allah, if you should be of the truthful.’

He said, ‘ My Lord, support me against the corrupting people.’

And when Our messengers came to Abraham with the good tidings, they said, ‘ Indeed, we will destroy the people of that Lot’s city. Indeed, its people have been wrongdoers.’

[Abraham] said, ‘ Indeed, within it is Lot.’ They said, ‘ We are more knowing of who is within it. We will surely save him and his family, except his wife. She is to be of those who remain behind.’

And when Our messengers came to Lot, he was distressed for them and felt for them great discomfort. They said, ‘ Fear not, nor grieve. Indeed, we will save you and your family, except your wife; she is to be of those who remain behind.

Indeed, we will bring down on the people of this city punishment from the sky because they have been defiantly disobedient.’

And We have certainly left of it a sign as clear evidence for a people who use reason.
