فَرَجَعوا إِلىٰ أَنفُسِهِم فَقالوا إِنَّكُم أَنتُمُ الظّالِمونَ

So they turned to themselves and said, “You yourselves are the wrongdoers.”

ثُمَّ نُكِسوا عَلىٰ رُءوسِهِم لَقَد عَلِمتَ ما هـٰؤُلاءِ يَنطِقونَ

But then they were reverted to their former notion: “You know well that these can’t speak.”

قالَ أَفَتَعبُدونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ما لا يَنفَعُكُم شَيئًا وَلا يَضُرُّكُم

He countered, “Do you then worship, instead of God, things that can neither benefit you at all nor harm you?

أُفٍّ لَكُم وَلِما تَعبُدونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ۖ أَفَلا تَعقِلونَ

Shame on you and what you worship besides God! Do you have any sense?”

قالوا حَرِّقوهُ وَانصُروا آلِهَتَكُم إِن كُنتُم فاعِلينَ

They demanded, “Burn him and support your gods, if you are to act.”

وَأَرادوا بِهِ كَيدًا فَجَعَلناهُمُ الأَخسَرينَ

They plotted to harm him, but We made them the greatest losers.

وَنَجَّيناهُ وَلوطًا إِلَى الأَرضِ الَّتي بارَكنا فيها لِلعالَمينَ

We saved him and Lot, bringing them to the land We had blessed for all the worlds.

وَوَهَبنا لَهُ إِسحاقَ وَيَعقوبَ نافِلَةً ۖ وَكُلًّا جَعَلنا صالِحينَ

We granted him Isaac and Jacob additionally, and we made each of them righteous.

وَجَعَلناهُم أَئِمَّةً يَهدونَ بِأَمرِنا وَأَوحَينا إِلَيهِم فِعلَ الخَيراتِ وَإِقامَ الصَّلاةِ وَإيتاءَ الزَّكاةِ ۖ وَكانوا لَنا عابِدينَ

We made them leaders who guided by Our command, and We inspired them to do good deeds, establish prayer, and give alms. They were worshippers of Us.

وَلوطًا آتَيناهُ حُكمًا وَعِلمًا وَنَجَّيناهُ مِنَ القَريَةِ الَّتي كانَت تَعمَلُ الخَبائِثَ ۗ إِنَّهُم كانوا قَومَ سَوءٍ فاسِقينَ

And to Lot, We gave wisdom and knowledge, and We saved him from the city that practiced the abominations. They were wicked and sinful people.
