And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and)
them. each one's right to drink being established (by
turns). (28) But they called their comrade and he took (a sword) and killed
(her). (29) Then, how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings? (30) Verily, We sent
against them a single Saîhah (torment - awful cry), and they became like the
stubble of a fold-builder. (31) And indeed, We have
made the Qur'ân easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will
remember (or receive admonition)? (32) The people of Lut (Lot)
belied the warnings. (33) Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones
(which destroyed them all), except the family of Lut (Lot), them We saved in
last hour of the night, (34) As a Favour from Us, Thus do We reward him
who gives thanks (by obeying Us) (35) And he [Lut (Lot)] indeed had warned them of
Our Seizure (punishment), but they did doubt the warnings! (36) And they indeed
sought to shame his guest (by asking to commit sodomy with them). So We blinded
their eyes, (saying) "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." (37) And verily, an
abiding torment seized them early in the morning. (38) "Then taste you
My Torment and My Warnings." (39) And indeed, We have made the Qur'ân easy to
understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive
admonition)? (40) And indeed, warnings came to the people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh)
[through Mûsa (Moses) and Hârûn (Aaron)]. (41) (They) belied all Our
Signs, so We seized them with a Seizure of the All-Mighty, All-Capable
(Omnipotent). (42) Are your disbelievers (O Quraish!) better than these [nations of
Nûh (Noah), Lut (Lot), Sâlih, and the people
of Fir'aun (Pharaoh), who were destroyed)? Or have you an immunity (against Our
Torment) in the Divine Scriptures? (43) Or say they: "We are a great multitude,
victorious.?" (44) Their multitude will be put to flight, and they will show
their backs. (45) Nay, but the Hour is their appointed time (for their full
recompense), and the Hour will be more grievous and more bitter. (46) Verily, the Mujrimûn
(polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals) are in error (in this world)
and will burn (in the Hell-fire in the Hereafter). (47) The Day they will be
dragged on their faces into the Fire (it will be said to them): "Taste you
the touch of Hell!"[] (48) Verily, We have created all things with Qadar
(Divine Preordainments of all things before their creation, as written in the
Book of Decrees Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz). (49)
