So look how was the fate of their plan, that We annihilated them and their people altogether.

Now those are their houses, lying empty because of the transgression they committed. Surely, in this there are signs for a people who have knowledge.

And We saved those who believed and who used to be God-fearing.

And (We sent) Lut when he said to his people, "Do you commit the shameful act while you can see (its shamelessness)?

Is it that you really come to men lustfully instead of women? No, you are a people committing acts of ignorance."

So, the answer of his people was not but that they said, "Expel the family of Lut from your town. They are a people who over-indulge in purity."

So We saved him and his family, except his wife. We destined her to remain among those who stayed behind.

And We rained on them a rain. So evil was the rain of those who were warned.

Say, 'Praise belongs to Allah, and peace be on those of His slaves whom He has chosen." Is Allah better or that which they associate (with Him as His partners)?

Or the One who created the heavens and the earth and sent down for you water from the sky? Then We caused to grow with it gardens, full of glamour. It was not within your ability to grow their trees. Is there any god along with Allah? No, but they are a people who equate (others with Allah).
