26:160 The people of Lot rejected the messengers,

26:161 when their brother Lot said to them, “Will you not fear Allah?

26:162 I am a trustworthy messenger to you,

26:163 so fear Allah, and obey me.

26:164 I do not ask you for any reward for this; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds.

26:165 Do you approach males with lust among all people[1],

26:166 leaving the wives whom your Lord has created for you? You are but a transgressing people.”

26:167 They said, “O Lot, If you do not desist, you will surely be expelled.”

26:168 Lot said, “I am one of those who utterly abhor your practice.

26:169 My Lord, save me and my family from [the consequences of] what they do.”

26:170 So We saved him and all his family,

26:171 except an old woman who was among those who remained behind[1].

26:172 Then We destroyed the rest,

26:173 and We poured down upon them a rain [of stones]. How terrible was the rain of those who were warned!

26:174 Indeed, there is a sign in this, yet most of them would not believe.

26:175 Your Lord is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.

26:176 The people of the Forest[1] rejected the messengers.

26:177 When Shu‘ayb said to them, “Will you not fear Allah?

26:178 I am a trustworthy messenger to you,

26:179 so fear Allah, and obey me.

26:180 I do not ask you for any reward for this; my reward is only with the Lord of the worlds.

26:181 Give full measure and do not be of those who defraud others,

26:182 and weigh with accurate scales,

26:183 and do not defraud people of their goods, nor go about in the land spreading corruption.
