قَالَ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِىٓ إِن كُنتُمْ فَـٰعِلِينَ ٧١
15:71 | [Lot] said, "These are my daughters ¹ - if you would be doers [of lawful marriage]."
Footnote 15:71 (1):🅧
i.e., the women of his community who were lawful for marriage.
لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِى سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ ٧٢
15:72 | By your life, [O Muḥammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly.
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِينَ ٧٣
15:73 | So the shriek ¹ seized them at sunrise.
Footnote 15:73 (1):🅧
A piercing cry or blast from the sky.
فَجَعَلْنَا عَـٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةًۭ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ ٧٤
15:74 | And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍۢ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ ٧٥
15:75 | Indeed in that are signs for those who discern.
وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍۢ مُّقِيمٍ ٧٦
15:76 | And indeed, they [i.e., those cities] are [situated] on an established road.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةًۭ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٧٧
15:77 | Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.
وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ لَظَـٰلِمِينَ ٧٨
15:78 | And the companions of the thicket [i.e., the people of Madyan] were [also] wrongdoers,
فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ٧٩
15:79 | So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway.
وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْحِجْرِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ٨٠
15:80 | And certainly did the companions of al-Ḥijr ¹ [i.e., the Thamūd] deny the messengers.

15:81 | And We gave them Our signs, but from them they were turning away.
وَكَانُوا۟ يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا ءَامِنِينَ ٨٢
15:82 | And they used to carve from the mountains, houses, feeling secure.

فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ ٨٤

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَـَٔاتِيَةٌۭ ۖ فَٱصْفَحِ ٱلصَّفْحَ ٱلْجَمِيلَ ٨٥
15:85 | 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.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلْخَلَّـٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٨٦
15:86 | Indeed, your Lord - He is the Knowing Creator.
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَـٰكَ سَبْعًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمَثَانِى وَٱلْقُرْءَانَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ ٨٧

15:88 | Do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [certain] categories of them [i.e., the disbelievers], and do not grieve over them. And lower your wing [i.e., show kindness] to the believers.
وَقُلْ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱلنَّذِيرُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ٨٩
15:89 | And say, "Indeed, I am the clear warner" -
كَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى ٱلْمُقْتَسِمِينَ ٩٠
15:90 | Just as We had revealed [scriptures] to the separators ¹
