The people of Lot rejected the messengers 26:160
when their brother Lot said to them, “Will you not fear ˹Allah˺? 26:161
I am truly a trustworthy messenger to you. 26:162
So fear Allah, and obey me. 26:163
I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds. 26:164
Why do you ˹men˺ lust after fellow men,1 26:165
leaving the wives that your Lord has created for you? In fact, you are a transgressing people.” 26:166
They threatened, “If you do not desist, O  Lot, you will surely be expelled.” 26:167
Lot responded, “I am truly one of those who despise your ˹shameful˺ practice. 26:168
My Lord! Save me and my family from ˹the consequences of˺ what they do.” 26:169
So We saved him and all of his family, 26:170
except an old woman,1 who was one of the doomed. 26:171
Then We utterly destroyed the rest, 26:172
pouring upon them a rain ˹of brimstone˺. How evil was the rain of those who had been warned! 26:173
Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe. 26:174
And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful. 26:175
The residents of the Forest rejected the messengers 26:176
when Shu’aib said to them,1 “Will you not fear ˹Allah˺? 26:177
I am truly a trustworthy messenger to you. 26:178
So fear Allah, and obey me. 26:179
I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺. My reward is only from the Lord of all worlds. 26:180
Give full measure, and cause no loss ˹to others˺. 26:181
Weigh with an even balance, 26:182
and do not defraud people of their property. Nor go about spreading corruption in the land. 26:183
