Lot (26:160 – 26:175)

Lot

26:160 The people of Lot disbelieved the messengers. 26:161 Their brother Lot said to them, “Would you not be righteous? 26:162 “I am an honest messenger to you. 26:163 “You shall reverence GOD, and obey me. 26:164 “I do not ask you for any wage; my wage comes only from the Lord of the universe. 26:165 “Do you have sex with the males, of all the people? 26:166 “You forsake the wives that your Lord has created for you! Indeed, you are transgressing people.” They said, “Unless you refrain, O Lot, you will be banished.” He said, “I deplore your actions.” “My Lord, save me and my family from their works.” We saved him and all his family. But not the old woman; she was doomed. We then destroyed the others. We showered them with a miserable shower; what a terrible shower for those who had been warned! This should be a lesson, but most people are not believers. Most assuredly, your Lord is the Almighty, Most Merciful.
