Sura Al-Naml from 45 to 55


45. And indeed We sent to Thamûd their brother Sâlih, saying: « Worship Allâh ( Alone and none else ) . Then look! They became two parties ( believers and disbelievers ) quarreling with each other. »
46. He said: « O my people! Why do you seek to hasten the evil ( torment ) before the good ( Allâh’s Mercy ) ? Why seek you not the Forgiveness of Allâh, that you may receive mercy? »
47. They said: « We augur ill omen from you and those with you. » He said: « Your ill omen is with Allâh; nay, but you are a people that are being tested. »
48. And there were in the city nine men ( from the sons of their chiefs ) , who made mischief in the land, and would not reform.
49. They said: « Swear one to another by Allâh that we shall make a secret night attack on him and his household, and thereafter we will surely say to his near relatives: ‘We witnessed not the destruction of his household, and verily we are telling the truth.’ »
50. So they plotted a plot, and We plotted a plot, while they perceived not.
51. Then see how was the end of their plot! Verily! We destroyed them and their nation, all together.
52. These are their houses in utter ruin, for they did wrong. Verily, in this is indeed an Ayâh ( a lesson or a sign ) for people who know.
53. And We saved those who believed, and used to fear Allâh, and keep their duty to Him.
54. And ( remember ) Lût ( Lot ) ! When he said to his people. [ 1 ] Do you commit Al- Fâhishah ( evil, great sin, every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse, sodomy ) while you see ( one another doing evil without any screen ) ? « »
55. « Do you practise your lusts on men instead of women? Nay, but you are a people who behave senselessly. »
