وَمَكَرُوا۟ مَكۡرࣰا وَمَكَرۡنَا مَكۡرࣰا وَهُمۡ لَا یَشۡعُرُونَ ٥٠
wamakarū makran wamakarnā makran wahum lā yashʿurūn
So they devised their evil plan, but We too made a plan of which they were unaware
51
فَٱنظُرۡ كَیۡفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ مَكۡرِهِمۡ أَنَّا دَمَّرۡنَـٰهُمۡ وَقَوۡمَهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِینَ ٥١
fa-unẓur kayfa kāna ʿāqibatu makrihim annā dammarnāhum waqawmahum ajmaʿīn
See how their scheming ended: We destroyed them utterly, along with all their people
52
فَتِلۡكَ بُیُوتُهُمۡ خَاوِیَةَۢ بِمَا ظَلَمُوۤا۟ۚ إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَءَایَةࣰ لِّقَوۡمࣲ یَعۡلَمُونَ ٥٢
fatil'ka buyūtuhum khāwiyatan bimā ẓalamū inna fī dhālika laāyatan liqawmin yaʿlamūn
As a result of their evil deeds, their homes are desolate ruins- there truly is a sign in this for those who know
53
وَأَنجَیۡنَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ یَتَّقُونَ ٥٣
wa-anjaynā alladhīna āmanū wakānū yattaqūn
but We saved those who believed and were mindful of God
54
وَلُوطًا إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦۤ أَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلۡفَـٰحِشَةَ وَأَنتُمۡ تُبۡصِرُونَ ٥٤
walūṭan idh qāla liqawmihi atatūna l-fāḥishata wa-antum tub'ṣirūn
We also sent Lot to his people. He said to them, ‘How can you commit this outrage with your eyes wide open
55
أَىِٕنَّكُمۡ لَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ شَهۡوَةࣰ مِّن دُونِ ٱلنِّسَاۤءِۚ بَلۡ أَنتُمۡ قَوۡمࣱ تَجۡهَلُونَ ٥٥
a-innakum latatūna l-rijāla shahwatan min dūni l-nisāi bal antum qawmun tajhalūn
How can you lust after men instead of women? What fools you are!’
56
۞ فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوۡمِهِۦۤ إِلَّاۤ أَن قَالُوۤا۟ أَخۡرِجُوۤا۟ ءَالَ لُوطࣲ مِّن قَرۡیَتِكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُمۡ أُنَاسࣱ یَتَطَهَّرُونَ ٥٦
famā kāna jawāba qawmihi illā an qālū akhrijū āla lūṭin min qaryatikum innahum unāsun yataṭahharūn
The only answer his people gave was to say, ‘Expel Lot’s followers from your town! These men mean to stay chaste!’
57
فَأَنجَیۡنَـٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥۤ إِلَّا ٱمۡرَأَتَهُۥ قَدَّرۡنَـٰهَا مِنَ ٱلۡغَـٰبِرِینَ ٥٧
fa-anjaynāhu wa-ahlahu illā im'ra-atahu qaddarnāhā mina l-ghābirīn
We saved him and his family- except for his wife: We made her stay behind
58
وَأَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَیۡهِم مَّطَرࣰاۖ فَسَاۤءَ مَطَرُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِینَ ٥٨
wa-amṭarnā ʿalayhim maṭaran fasāa maṭaru l-mundharīn
and We brought rain down on them. How dreadful that rain was for those who had been warned
