Section 4 [Ankabut 29:31] And when Our sent angels came with glad tidings to Ibrahim, they said, “We will surely destroy the people of that town; indeed its inhabitants are unjust.” [Ankabut 29:32] He said, "Lut is in it!”; they said, “We know very well who all are there; we shall rescue him and his family, except his wife; she is of those who will stay behind.” [Ankabut 29:33] And when Our sent angels came to Lut, he was unhappy at their arrival and was depressed – and they said, “Do not fear or grieve; we will surely rescue you and your family, except your wife, who is of those who will stay behind.” [Ankabut 29:34] “We will indeed cause a punishment from the sky to descend upon the inhabitants of this town – the recompense of their disobedience.” [Ankabut 29:35] And We have undoubtedly kept a part of it as a clear sign for people of intellect. [Ankabut 29:36] And We sent towards Madyan, their fellowman Shuaib – he therefore said, “O my people! Worship Allah, and anticipate the Last Day, and do not roam the earth spreading turmoil.” [Ankabut 29:37] In response they denied him – thereupon the earthquake seized them – so at morning they remained lying flattened in their homes. [Ankabut 29:38] And We destroyed the A’ad and the Thamud,
and you already know their dwellings; Satan made their deeds appear good
to them and prevented them from the path, whereas they could perceive. |
