Translation of Verse 160-175

160. The people of Lot rejected the messengers

161. when their brother Lot said to them, "Will you not fear ˹Allah˺?

162. I am truly a trustworthy messenger to you.

163. So fear Allah, and obey me.

164. I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds.

165. Why do you ˹men˺ lust after fellow men, ⁷⁵⁷

166. leaving the wives that your Lord has created for you? In fact, you are a transgressing people."

167. They threatened, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be expelled."

168. Lot responded, "I am truly one of those who despise your ˹shameful˺ practice.

169. My Lord! Save me and my family from ˹the consequences of˺ what they do."

170. So We saved him and all of his family,

171. except an old woman, ⁷⁵⁸ who was one of the doomed.

172. Then We utterly destroyed the rest,

173. pouring upon them a rain ˹of brimstone˺. How evil was the rain of those who had been warned!

174. Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.

175. And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.
