00:12:06.460 --> 00:12:10.860 No one in the world has ever committed this immoral act before you 00:12:11.460 --> 00:12:14.460 Their indecency was male intercourse 00:12:15.259 --> 00:12:25.659 You come to men with desire rather than women 00:12:25.980 --> 00:12:31.980 O people, you come to men in their backs out of your desire for that 00:12:32.379 --> 00:12:35.779 Without the women that God has permitted for you 00:12:36.379 --> 00:12:41.220 You are a people who do what God has forbidden to you 00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:43.820 And you disobey him with your actions 00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:49.220 And yet you come with men of lust rather than women 00:12:49.620 --> 00:12:54.620 And yet you come with men of lust rather than women 00:12:54.740 --> 00:12:57.539 And you disobey him by doing this 00:12:59.419 --> 00:13:08.019 The only answer from his people was that they said, “Expel them from your village.” 00:13:08.419 --> 00:13:13.820 They are people who purify themselves 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.120 And what was the response of the people of Lot to Lot? 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:20.919 But they said to each other 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:23.519 They brought out Lot and his family 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:29.039 Lot and those who followed him are people who differ from what we do 00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:31.840 From the coming of men in the afterlife 00:13:42.220 --> 00:13:47.220 When Lot's people refused his Lord's message prohibiting that from them 00:13:47.820 --> 00:13:50.820 We saved Lot and his family who believed in him 00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:55.340 Except for his wife, she was among those remaining in God’s punishment 00:14:09.779 --> 00:14:13.580 And We rained down stones of shale on Lot's people 00:14:14.059 --> 00:14:15.580 We destroyed them with it 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:21.720 So look, O Muhammad, at the outcome of those who denied God and His Messenger 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:28.240 So they committed sins against God, no matter what they were or what they happened to be 00:14:52.909 --> 00:14:56.909 Don't deprive people of their things 00:15:00.909 --> 00:15:04.909 And do not cause corruption in the land after it has been restored 00:15:05.909 --> 00:15:11.909 That is better for you if you are believers 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:19.000 We sent their brother Shuaib to Midian, urging them to obey God 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.000 Shuaib said to them 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:25.519 O my people, Abdullah is alone and has no partner 00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:32.519 You have no god who requires you to worship other than the God who created you 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:37.519 A sign and proof from God has come to you regarding the truth of what I say 00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:42.519 Fulfill people's rights with the measure you use 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:45.580 And by the weight with which you weigh 00:15:46.580 --> 00:15:50.580 Do not oppress people in their rights and do not deprive them of them 00:15:51.100 --> 00:15:54.100 And do not commit sins on God’s earth 00:15:55.100 --> 00:15:59.100 After God restored the earth by sending the Prophet, peace be upon him, among you 00:16:00.100 --> 00:16:04.100 He forbids you from what is not lawful for you and what God hates for you 00:16:05.100 --> 00:16:07.100 This is what I commanded you to do 00:16:08.100 --> 00:16:11.100 It is better for you in the immediate life of this world and the future of your hereafter 00:16:12.100 --> 00:16:15.100 If you believe in what I tell you 00:16:16.100 --> 00:16:19.809 And I will convey to you from God His commands and prohibitions 00:16:20.330 --> 00:16:31.330 And do not sit on every path that you are threatened with and that hinders you from the path of God 00:16:32.330 --> 00:16:38.330 Whoever believes in him, and you seek to make it crooked 00:16:39.330 --> 00:16:44.330 And remember, when you were few, He multiplied you 00:16:44.850 --> 00:16:51.850 And look at what was the outcome of the corruptors 00:16:53.580 --> 00:16:57.580 And do not sit in every way threatening the believers with death 00:16:58.580 --> 00:17:04.579 You turn away from believing in God and acting in obedience to Him, whoever believes in God alone 00:17:05.579 --> 00:17:11.579 And you seek for those who follow the path of God to deviate from purpose and truth to deviation and misguidance 00:17:12.099 --> 00:17:15.099 And remember, when you were few, He multiplied you 00:17:16.099 --> 00:17:19.099 So thank God who blessed you with this 00:17:20.099 --> 00:17:23.099 And look at what was revealed to the nations before you 00:17:24.099 --> 00:17:28.099 When they rebelled against their Lord and disobeyed His messengers out of vengeance 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:40.970 And if there is a group of you who believe in what I was sent with 00:17:41.490 --> 00:17:51.490 And a group did not believe, so be patient until God judges between us 00:17:52.490 --> 00:17:56.490 He is the best of rulers 00:17:57.490 --> 00:18:03.380 And if there is a group of you or a group, they will believe in what I was sent with 00:18:04.380 --> 00:18:07.380 From sincere worship to God and abandoning His sins 00:18:07.900 --> 00:18:12.900 Another group did not believe in that and did not follow me in it 00:18:13.900 --> 00:18:17.900 So wait for God’s judgment that separates us from you 00:18:18.900 --> 00:18:21.900 God is the best of those who decide and the most just of those who judge 00:18:22.900 --> 00:18:28.900 Because there is no inclination toward anyone or favoritism toward anyone in his ruling 00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:33.180 Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
