وَما أَسأَلُكُم عَلَيهِ مِن أَجرٍ ۖ إِن أَجرِيَ إِلّا عَلىٰ رَبِّ العالَمينَ

I ask no reward from you; my reward is only from the Lord of the realms.

أَتَأتونَ الذُّكرانَ مِنَ العالَمينَ

Do you approach the males of the world?

وَتَذَرونَ ما خَلَقَ لَكُم رَبُّكُم مِن أَزواجِكُم ۚ بَل أَنتُم قَومٌ عادونَ

And abandon the wives that your Lord created for you? But you are a transgressing people.”

قالوا لَئِن لَم تَنتَهِ يا لوطُ لَتَكونَنَّ مِنَ المُخرَجينَ

They replied, “If you don’t stop, O Lot, you will be among those expelled.”

قالَ إِنّي لِعَمَلِكُم مِنَ القالينَ

He responded, “I am of those who disapprove of your conduct.”

فَنَجَّيناهُ وَأَهلَهُ أَجمَعينَ

And so, We rescued him and his entire family.

إِلّا عَجوزًا فِي الغابِرينَ

Except an elderly woman among those who stayed behind.

ثُمَّ دَمَّرنَا الآخَرينَ

Then We destroyed the others.

وَأَمطَرنا عَلَيهِم مَطَرًا ۖ فَساءَ مَطَرُ المُنذَرينَ

And We rained down on them a downpour. What an awful rain for the forewarned!

إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ

There is a sign in this, but most of them aren’t believers.
