00:04:45.899 We have brought to you what your people were complaining about that God’s punishment would befall them for their disbelief in Him 00:04:46.459 --> 00:04:49.540 We have brought you the certain truth from God 00:04:49.860 --> 00:04:51.060 It is torment 00:04:51.620 --> 00:04:55.459 And we are truthful in what we told you, O Lot 00:04:55.939 --> 00:04:58.180 Because God will destroy your people 00:04:59.779 --> 00:05:06.060 So flee from your family in parts of the night and follow their paths 00:05:06.579 --> 00:05:15.180 And follow their paths, and let none of you turn away, and prophesy wherever you are commanded 00:05:15.660 --> 00:05:25.379 And We decreed to him that matter, that we should turn around these people, cut off in the morning 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:29.639 So your family escaped with the rest of the night 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.120 And follow, O Lot, the paths of your people whom you led away 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.079 And be behind them 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:38.759 Walk behind them while they are in front of you 00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.160 And none of you will look behind him 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.040 Go where God commands you 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.600 We finished that matter with Lot 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:52.639 And We revealed that the last of your people and the first of them 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:56.199 An uprooted monster in the morning of their night 00:05:57.899 --> 00:06:03.220 The people of the city came rejoicing 00:06:03.779 --> 00:06:09.860 He said: These are my guests, so do not expose me 00:06:10.420 --> 00:06:14.060 Fear God and do not be disgraced 00:06:15.610 --> 00:06:17.850 The people of the city of Sodom came 00:06:18.170 --> 00:06:19.529 They are the people of Lot 00:06:20.089 --> 00:06:23.329 When they heard that a guest had invited Lot 00:06:23.810 --> 00:06:26.569 They were rejoicing about their arrival in their city 00:06:26.970 --> 00:06:29.649 Their desire to ride immorality 00:06:30.329 --> 00:06:31.850 Lot said to his people 00:06:32.490 --> 00:06:37.050 These people whom you came to seek immorality 00:06:37.449 --> 00:06:38.209 My guest 00:06:38.769 --> 00:06:41.250 A man has the right to honor his guest 00:06:41.850 --> 00:06:44.970 Do not disgrace me, O people, in my guest 00:06:45.490 --> 00:06:49.170 Please honor me by not letting them harm you 00:06:49.689 --> 00:06:54.329 And fear God in and in yourselves lest His punishment befall you 00:06:54.850 --> 00:06:58.050 Do not humiliate me or insult me among them 00:06:59.790 --> 00:07:04.310 They said: Did We not prohibit you from the worlds? 00:07:04.790 --> 00:07:12.029 He said, “These are my daughters, if you do.” 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:14.600 He told his people 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.879 Aren't we tired of adding anyone from the worlds? 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:21.199 Lot said to his people 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.120 They married women and had sexual intercourse with them 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:29.079 And do not do what God has forbidden to you, namely sexual intercourse with men 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:34.839 If you do what I command you and follow my command 00:07:36.459 --> 00:07:42.180 By your age, they are blinded in their drunkenness 00:07:42.660 --> 00:07:46.740 So the shout took them shining 00:07:47.259 --> 00:07:53.220 So We made the high therein the lowest and rained stones upon them 00:07:53.699 --> 00:08:00.259 We rained down stones of shale upon them 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:03.800 And your life, Muhammad 00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:06.120 Your people are from Quraysh 00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.600 Because of their misguidance and ignorance, they hesitate 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.000 Then the thunderbolt of torment seized them when the sun rose 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.279 So We made the high of their land its low 00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:21.120 We rained down stones of clay on them 00:08:42.289 --> 00:08:44.850 What we did to the people of Lot 00:08:45.169 --> 00:08:50.730 For signs and connotations for observers who consider signs of God 00:08:51.129 --> 00:08:55.529 And a lesson on the consequences of the actions of those who sin and disbelieve in Him 00:08:56.169 --> 00:08:57.730 And this city 00:08:58.009 --> 00:08:59.250 The city of Sodom 00:08:59.730 --> 00:09:01.970 For a clear resident penguin 00:09:02.370 --> 00:09:05.570 The one who passes by it sees it and there is nothing hidden from it 00:09:06.169 --> 00:09:08.370 Indeed, what we did to the people of Lot 00:09:08.809 --> 00:09:12.929 A clear sign and indication for those who believe in God 00:09:13.330 --> 00:09:15.529 To take revenge on the infidels 00:09:16.049 --> 00:09:19.210 And saving him from his torment are people of faith 00:09:34.899 --> 00:09:39.620 The owners of the gathered trees were disbelievers in God 00:09:40.139 --> 00:09:41.740 So we took revenge on them 00:09:42.379 --> 00:09:45.860 And it is the city of the people of the grove and the city of Lot 00:09:46.419 --> 00:09:49.659 A penguin they take on their travels 00:09:50.100 --> 00:09:52.899 He shows the one who has completed his integrity through him 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:59.840 The owners of the stone lied to the messengers 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:05.840 And We gave them Our signs, but they turned away from them 00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:12.039 They would descend from the mountains into safe houses 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:17.039 So the shout took them in the morning 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:23.240 What they were earning did not avail them 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.879 The inhabitants of Hajar lied to the messengers 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:30.600 They are Thamud, a righteous people 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:34.000 We showed them our evidence and arguments 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:38.600 On the truth of what our Messenger, Salih, sent to them 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.720 But they turned away from Our signs 00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:45.080 They do not consider it and do not learn from it 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:50.679 They would descend from the mountains into homes safe from the punishment of God 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:57.960 It was said that they were safe from destruction, lest their homes, which they had carved out of the mountains, be destroyed 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.480 It was said that they were safe from death 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:05.480 Then the cry of doom seized them when they woke up 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:12.559 The punishment of God was not warded off from them by the evil deeds they had committed before that 00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:21.440 We did not create the heavens and the earth and everything between them except with truth 00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:26.159 And the Hour will come 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:30.919 So browse the beautiful page 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:37.039 Your Lord is the Creator, the All-Knowing 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:40.840 We did not create all creatures 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.200 Its heaven and earth 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.559 And what is in them and what is between them is only justice and fairness 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:55.480 God Almighty did not wrong any of the nations whose stories were told in this Surah 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.120 And the Hour is coming 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:02.200 So turn away from the polytheists of your people in a beautiful way 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:04.840 He pardoned them well 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.159 Your Lord is the one who created them and created everything 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.440 He knows them and their plans 00:12:13.899 --> 00:12:21.259 We have given you seven of the repeated verses and the Great Qur’an 00:12:22.620 --> 00:12:25.139 And We have given you seven signs 00:12:25.580 --> 00:12:28.340 Which contradicts some of its verses 00:12:28.940 --> 00:12:32.820 Some of them follow each other with chapters separating them 00:12:33.500 --> 00:12:36.659 It may be possible that he was told two times 00:12:37.100 --> 00:12:41.539 Because the stories and news were repeated over and over again 00:12:42.139 --> 00:12:45.179 So We gave you seven verses from the Qur’an 00:12:45.620 --> 00:12:48.580 And other parts of the Qur’an 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:57.679 Do not extend your eyes to what We have enjoyed with pairs of them 00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:06.639 Do not grieve for them and lower your wings to the believers 00:13:08.379 --> 00:13:13.299 Do not wish, O Muhammad, for what we have made of the adornments of this world 00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:16.220 A luxury item for the rich among your people 00:13:16.740 --> 00:13:20.299 Those who do not believe in God and the Last Day 00:13:20.860 --> 00:13:24.419 And do not be sad about what they enjoyed, so hasten to them 00:13:24.940 --> 00:13:27.940 In the afterlife, you will have something better than him 00:13:28.659 --> 00:13:33.379 And be on your side for those who believe in you, follow you, and follow your words

00:13:49.980 --> 00:13:54.820 Those who made the Qur’an an admonition 00:13:56.350 --> 00:13:58.470 And say, O Muhammad, to the polytheists 00:13:59.149 --> 00:14:00.509 I am the warner 00:14:01.190 --> 00:14:05.350 Who has made clear His warning to you of calamity and punishment 00:14:05.350 --> 00:14:07.230 May God bring you down 00:14:07.710 --> 00:14:10.070 For persisting in your delusion 00:14:10.669 --> 00:14:14.629 Like what God Almighty sent down of calamity and punishment 00:14:15.149 --> 00:14:17.269 On the one who divided the Book of God 00:14:17.710 --> 00:14:20.269 By disbelieving some and believing others 00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:24.120 It is permissible for me to be divided 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:25.799 People of the Two Books 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:27.799 The Torah and the Gospel 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:30.440 Because they divided the Book of God 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:35.200 So the Jews accepted some of the Torah and denied some of it 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.320 And you lied about the Gospel and the Criterion 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.799 Al-Nassar acknowledged some of the Gospel 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:45.000 And you lied about some of it and the Criterion 00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:50.120 It is possible that I am referring to the polytheists from Quraysh 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:52.679 Because it is divided into the Qur’an 00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:56.679 He called it some poetry and some fortune-telling 00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:59.639 And some legends of the first two 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.919 Those who divided the Qur’an and made it into two parts 00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:06.480 And they bit him 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.279 Their defamation of the Qur’an falsely 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.080 They told them it was poetry and magic 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:15.080 And so on 00:15:16.940 --> 00:15:22.580 For your sake, we will ask them all 00:15:23.139 --> 00:15:27.500 What they were working on 00:15:28.100 --> 00:15:34.299 So declare what you are commanded and turn away from the polytheists 00:15:36.029 --> 00:15:41.549 For your sake, O Muhammad, we will certainly question those who made the Qur’an an admonition 00:15:42.070 --> 00:15:46.070 What they were doing in this world according to what We commanded them to do 00:15:46.590 --> 00:15:48.990 And while We sent you to them 00:15:49.669 --> 00:15:53.070 So
