But We found not there any household of the Muslims except one [of Lut (Lot) and his two daughters].
فما وجدنا فيها غير بيت من المسلمين
Fama wajadna feeha ghayra baytin mina almuslimeena
And We have left there a sign (i.e. the place of the Dead Sea in Palestine) for those who fear the painful torment.
وتركنا فيها آية للذين يخافون العذاب الأليم

فعتوا عن أمر ربهم فأخذتهم الصاعقة وهم ينظرون
FaAAataw AAan amri rabbihim faakhathathumu alssaAAiqatu wahum yanthuroona
Then they were unable to rise up, nor could they help themselves.
فما استطاعوا من قيام وما كانوا منتصرين
Fama istataAAoo min qiyamin wama kanoo muntasireena

والأرض فرشناها فنعم الماهدون
Waalarda farashnaha faniAAma almahidoona
And of everything We have created pairs, that you may remember (the Grace of Allah).
ومن كل شيء خلقنا زوجين لعلكم تذكرون
Wamin kulli shayin khalaqna zawjayni laAAallakum tathakkaroona
So flee to Allah (from His Torment to His Mercy - Islamic Monotheism). Verily, I (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) am a plain warner to you from Him.
ففروا إلى الله ۖ إني لكم منه نذير مبين
Fafirroo ila Allahi innee lakum minhu natheerun mubeenun
And set not up (or worship not) any other ilah (god) along with Allah [Glorified be He (Alone), Exalted above all that they associate as partners with Him]. Verily, I (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) am a plain warner to you from Him.
ولا تجعلوا مع الله إلها آخر ۖ إني لكم منه نذير مبين
Wala tajAAaloo maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara innee lakum minhu natheerun mubeenun
Likewise, no Messenger came to those before them but they said: "A sorcerer or a madman!"
كذلك ما أتى الذين من قبلهم من رسول إلا قالوا ساحر أو مجنون
Kathalika ma ata allatheena min qablihim min rasoolin illa qaloo sahirun aw majnoonun
Have they (the people of the past) transmitted this saying to these (Quraish pagans)? Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds (in disbelief)!
أتواصوا به ۚ بل هم قوم طاغون
Atawasaw bihi bal hum qawmun taghoona
So turn away (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) from them (Quraish pagans), you are not blame-worthy (as you have conveyed Allah's Message).
فتول عنهم فما أنت بملوم
Fatawalla AAanhum fama anta bimaloomin
And remind (by preaching the Qur'an, O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), for verily, the reminding profits the believers.
وذكر فإن الذكرى تنفع المؤمنين
Wathakkir fainna alththikra tanfaAAu almumineena
And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone).
وما خلقت الجن والإنس إلا ليعبدون
Wama khalaqtu aljinna waalinsa illa liyaAAbudooni
I seek not any provision from them (i.e. provision for themselves or for My creatures) nor do I ask that they should feed Me (i.e. feed themselves or My creatures).
ما أريد منهم من رزق وما أريد أن يطعمون
Ma oreedu minhum min rizqin wama oreedu an yutAAimooni
Verily, Allah is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong.
إن الله هو الرزاق ذو القوة المتين
Inna Allaha huwa alrrazzaqu thoo alquwwati almateenu
And verily, for those who do wrong, there is a portion of torment like to the evil portion of torment (which came for) their likes (of old); so let them not ask Me to hasten on!
فإن للذين ظلموا ذنوبا مثل ذنوب أصحابهم فلا يستعجلون
Fainna lillatheena thalamoo thanooban mithla thanoobi ashabihim fala yastaAAjiloona
Then woe to those who disbelieve (in Allah and His Oneness - Islamic Monotheism) from their Day which they have been promised (for their punishment).
فويل للذين كفروا من يومهم الذي يوعدون
Fawaylun lillatheena kafaroo min yawmihimu allathee yooAAadoona
