15:71

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

15:72

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

15:73

to top

So the shriek seized them at sunrise.

15:74

to top

Sahih International

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

15:75

to top

Sahih International

Indeed in that are signs for those who discern.

15:76

to top

Sahih International

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

15:77

to top

Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.

15:78

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

15:79

to top

Sahih International

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

15:80

And certainly did the companions of Thamud deny the messengers.

15:81

to top

Sahih International

And We gave them Our signs, but from them they were turning away.

15:82

And they used to carve from the mountains, houses, feeling secure.

15:83

to top

But the shriek seized them at early morning.

15:84

to top

So nothing availed them [from] what they used to earn.

15:85

to top

Sahih International

And We have not created the heavens and earth and that between them except in truth. And indeed, the Hour is coming; so forgive with gracious forgiveness.

15:86

to top

Sahih International

Indeed, your Lord - He is the Knowing Creator.

15:87

to top

Sahih International

And We have certainly given you, [O Muhammad], seven of the often repeated [verses] and the great Qur'an.

15:88

to top

Sahih International

Do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [certain] categories of the disbelievers, and do not grieve over them. And lower your wing to the believers
