Surah Hud Recitation, Translation, and Tafseer - The Holy Quran

11:41

وَ قَالَ ارْكَبُوْا فِیْهَا بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ مَجْرٖؔىهَا وَ مُرْسٰىهَاؕ-اِنَّ رَبِّیْ لَغَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(۴۱)

And (Noah) said: "Embark. In the name of God be its course and mooring. My Lord is surely forgiving and kind."

So he said: "Embark ye on the Ark, In the name of Allah, whether it move or be at rest! For my Lord is, be sure, Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful!"

11:42

وَ هِیَ تَجْرِیْ بِهِمْ فِیْ مَوْجٍ كَالْجِبَالِ- وَ نَادٰى نُوْ حُ-ﰳابْنَهٗ وَ كَانَ فِیْ مَعْزِلٍ یّٰبُنَیَّ ارْكَبْ مَّعَنَا وَ لَا تَكُنْ مَّعَ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ(۴۲)

It sailed on waves like mountains (high), and Noah called to his son who was separated from him: "Embark with us, O my son, and be not one of those who do not believe."

So the Ark floated with them on the waves (towering) like mountains, and Noah called out to his son, who had separated himself (from the rest): "O my son! embark with us, and be not with the unbelievers!"

11:43

قَالَ سَاٰوِیْۤ اِلٰى جَبَلٍ یَّعْصِمُنِیْ مِنَ الْمَآءِؕ-قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ الْیَوْمَ مِنْ اَمْرِ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَۚ-وَ حَالَ بَیْنَهُمَا الْمَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُغْرَقِیْنَ(۴۳)

"I shall go up a mountain," he said, "which will keep me from the water." "There is no getting away," said Noah, "from the decree of God today, except for those on whom be His mercy." And a wave came between them, and he was among those who were drowned.

The son replied: "I will betake myself to some mountain: it will save me from the water." Noah said: "This day nothing can save, from the command of Allah, any but those on whom He hath mercy! "And the waves came between them, and the son was among those overwhelmed in the Flood.

11:44

وَ قِیْلَ یٰۤاَرْضُ ابْلَعِیْ مَآءَكِ وَ یٰسَمَآءُ اَقْلِعِیْ وَ غِیْضَ الْمَآءُ وَ قُضِیَ الْاَمْرُ وَ اسْتَوَتْ عَلَى الْجُوْدِیِّ وَ قِیْلَ بُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ(۴۴)

Then it was said: "O earth, swallow back your water; and, O sky, desist." And the water subsided, and the decree was accomplished. The ark came to rest on Judi (Mount Ararat), and it was said: "Away with the cursed people!"

Then the word went forth: "O earth! swallow up thy water, and O sky! Withhold (thy rain)!" and the water abated, and the matter was ended. The Ark rested on Mount Judi, and the word went forth: "Away with those who do wrong!"

11:45

وَ نَادٰى نُوْحٌ رَّبَّهٗ فَقَالَ رَبِّ اِنَّ ابْنِیْ مِنْ اَهْلِیْ وَ اِنَّ وَعْدَكَ الْحَقُّ وَ اَنْتَ اَحْكَمُ الْحٰكِمِیْنَ(۴۵)

Noah called on his Lord and said: "O Lord, my son is surely a member of my family, and verily Your promise is true, as You are the most just of all judges."

And Noah called upon his Lord, and said: "O my Lord! surely my son is of my family! and Thy promise is true, and Thou art the justest of Judges!"

11:46

قَالَ یٰنُوْحُ اِنَّهٗ لَیْسَ مِنْ اَهْلِكَۚ-اِنَّهٗ عَمَلٌ غَیْرُ صَالِحٍ ﲦ فَلَا تَسْــٴَـلْنِ مَا لَیْسَ لَكَ بِهٖ عِلْمٌؕ-اِنِّیْۤ اَعِظُكَ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْجٰهِلِیْنَ(۴۶)

"O Noah", He answered, "truly he is not of your family. He is surely the outcome of an unrighteous act. So ask Me not of what you do not know. I warn you not to be one of the ignorant."

He said: "O Noah! He is not of thy family: For his conduct is unrighteous. So ask not of Me that of which thou hast no knowledge! I give thee counsel, lest thou act like the ignorant!"

11:47

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّیْۤ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ اَنْ اَسْــٴَـلَكَ مَا لَیْسَ لِیْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌؕ-وَ اِلَّا تَغْفِرْ لِیْ وَ تَرْحَمْنِیْۤ اَكُنْ مِّنَ الْخٰسِرِیْنَ(۴۷)

"Preserve me, O Lord," said (Noah), "from asking You that of which I have no knowledge. If You do not forgive me and have mercy on me I shall be among those who perish."

Noah said: "O my Lord! I do seek refuge with Thee, lest I ask Thee for that of which I have no knowledge. And unless thou forgive me and have Mercy on me, I should indeed be lost!"

11:48

قِیْلَ یٰنُوْحُ اهْبِطْ بِسَلٰمٍ مِّنَّا وَ بَرَكٰتٍ عَلَیْكَ وَ عَلٰۤى اُمَمٍ مِّمَّنْ مَّعَكَؕ-وَ اُمَمٌ سَنُمَتِّعُهُمْ ثُمَّ یَمَسُّهُمْ مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ(۴۸)

(And the Lord) said: "O Noah, disembark with peace and safety from Us and blessings on you and the people with you. As for some (of them), We shall bestow advantages for a time, then send a grievous punishment on them."

The word came: "O Noah! Come down (from the Ark) with peace from Us, and blessing on thee and on some of the peoples (who will spring) from those with thee: but (there will be other) peoples to whom We shall grant their pleasures (for a time), but in the end will a grievous penalty reach them from Us."

11:49

تِلْكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ الْغَیْبِ نُوْحِیْهَاۤ اِلَیْكَۚ-مَا كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُهَاۤ اَنْتَ وَ لَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ هٰذَا ﳍ فَاصْبِرْ ﳍ اِنَّ الْعَاقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِیْنَ۠(۴۹)

This is news of the Unknown We reveal to you, which neither you nor your people knew before. So endure with patience. The future is for those who keep away from evil and follow the straight path.

Such are some of the stories of the unseen, which We have revealed unto thee: before this, neither thou nor thy people knew them. So persevere patiently: for the End is for those who are righteous.

11:50

وَ اِلٰى عَادٍ اَخَاهُمْ هُوْدًاؕ-قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَیْرُهٗؕ-اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا مُفْتَرُوْنَ(۵۰)

We sent to the people of ´Ad their brother Hud, who said: "O my people, worship God; you have no other god but He. (As for the idols,) you are only inventing lies.

To the 'Ad People (We sent) Hud, one of their own brethren. He said: "O my people! worship Allah! ye have no other god but Him. (Your other gods) ye do nothing but invent!

11:51

یٰقَوْمِ لَاۤ اَسْــٴَـلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ اَجْرًاؕ-اِنْ اَجْرِیَ اِلَّا عَلَى الَّذِیْ فَطَرَنِیْؕ-اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ(۵۱)

O my people, I ask no recompense of you for it: My reward is with Him who created me. Will you not, therefore, understand?

"O my people! I ask of you no reward for this (Message). My reward is from none but Him who created me: Will ye not then understand?

11:52

وَ یٰقَوْمِ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَیْهِ یُرْسِلِ السَّمَآءَ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّدْرَارًا وَّ یَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّةً اِلٰى قُوَّتِكُمْ وَ لَا تَتَوَلَّوْا مُجْرِمِیْنَ(۵۲)

O my people, beg your Lord to forgive you, and turn to Him in repentance. He will send down rain in torrents for you from the shies, and give you added strength. So do not turn away from Him as sinners."

"And O my people! Ask forgiveness of your Lord, and turn to Him (in repentance): He will send you the skies pouring abundant rain, and add strength to your strength: so turn ye not back in sin!"

11:53

قَالُوْا یٰهُوْدُ مَا جِئْتَنَا بِبَیِّنَةٍ وَّ مَا نَحْنُ بِتَارِكِیْۤ اٰلِهَتِنَا عَنْ قَوْلِكَ وَ مَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِیْنَ(۵۳)

They said: "O Hud, you have come to us with no proofs. We shall not abandon our gods because you say so, nor believe in you.

They said: "O Hud! No Clear (Sign) that hast thou brought us, and we are not the ones to desert our gods on thy word! Nor shall we believe in thee!

11:54

اِنْ نَّقُوْلُ اِلَّا اعْتَرٰىكَ بَعْضُ اٰلِهَتِنَا بِسُوْٓءٍؕ-قَالَ اِنِّیْۤ اُشْهِدُ اللّٰهَ وَ اشْهَدُوْۤا اَنِّیْ بَرِیْٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُوْنَۙ(۵۴)

All we can say is that some of our gods have smitten you with evil." He replied:" I call God to witness, and you be witness too, that I am clear of what you associate (in your affairs)

"We say nothing but that (perhaps) some of our gods may have seized thee with imbecility." He said: "I call Allah to witness, and do ye bear witness, that I am free from the sin of ascribing, to Him,

11:55

مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ فَكِیْدُوْنِیْ جَمِیْعًا ثُمَّ لَا تُنْظِرُوْنِ(۵۵)

Apart from Him. Contrive against me as much as you like, and give me no respite.

"Other gods as partners! so scheme (your worst) against me, all of you, and give me no respite.

11:56

اِنِّیْ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللّٰهِ رَبِّیْ وَ رَبِّكُمْؕ-مَا مِنْ دَآبَّةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ اٰخِذٌۢ بِنَاصِیَتِهَاؕ-اِنَّ رَبِّیْ عَلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ(۵۶)

I place my trust in God who is my Lord and your Lord. There is no creature that moves on the earth who is not held by the forelock firmly by Him. Verily the way of my Lord is straight.

"I put my trust in Allah, My Lord and your Lord! There is not a moving creature, but He hath grasp of its fore-lock. Verily, it is my Lord that is on a straight Path.

11:57

فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقَدْ اَبْلَغْتُكُمْ مَّاۤ اُرْسِلْتُ بِهٖۤ اِلَیْكُمْؕ-وَ یَسْتَخْلِفُ رَبِّیْ قَوْمًا غَیْرَكُمْۚ-وَ لَا تَضُرُّوْنَهٗ شَیْــٴًـاؕ-اِنَّ رَبِّیْ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ حَفِیْظٌ(۵۷)

If you turn away, then (remember) I have delivered to you the message I was sent with. My Lord will put other people in your place, and you will not be able to prevail against Him. Indeed my Lord keeps a watch over all things."

"If ye turn away,- I (at least) have conveyed the Message with which I was sent to you. My Lord will make another people to succeed you, and you will not harm Him in the least. For my Lord hath care and watch over all things."

11:58

وَ لَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّیْنَا هُوْدًا وَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّاۚ-وَ نَجَّیْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِیْظٍ(۵۸)

So, when Our command was issued We rescued Hud by Our grace, and those who believed, with him, and saved them from a dreadful doom.

So when Our decree issued, We saved Hud and those who believed with him, by (special) Grace from Ourselves: We saved them from a severe penalty.

11:59

وَ تِلْكَ عَادٌ ﳜ جَحَدُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ عَصَوْا رُسُلَهٗ وَ اتَّبَعُوْۤا اَمْرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِیْدٍ(۵۹)

These were the people of ´Ad who denied the word of their Lord and rebelled against His apostles, and followed the bidding of every perverse tyrant.

Such were the 'Ad People: they rejected the Signs of their Lord and Cherisher; disobeyed His messengers; And followed the command of every powerful, obstinate transgressor.

11:60

وَ اُتْبِعُوْا فِیْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْیَا لَعْنَةً وَّ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِؕ-اَلَاۤ اِنَّ عَادًا كَفَرُوْا رَبَّهُمْؕ-اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّعَادٍ قَوْمِ هُوْدٍ۠(۶۰)

So they were accursed in the world, and they will be damned on the Day of Doom. Beware! The ´Ad turned away from their Lord.

And they were pursued by a Curse in this life,- and on the Day of Judgment. Ah! Behold! for the 'Ad rejected their Lord and Cherisher! Ah! Behold! removed (from sight) were 'Ad the people of Hud!

11:61

وَ اِلٰى ثَمُوْدَ اَخَاهُمْ صٰلِحًاۘ-قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَیْرُهٗؕ-هُوَ اَنْشَاَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ وَ اسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِیْهَا فَاسْتَغْفِرُوْهُ ثُمَّ تُوْبُوْۤا اِلَیْهِؕ-اِنَّ رَبِّیْ قَرِیْبٌ مُّجِیْبٌ(۶۱)

Be warned! Accursed are the people of ´Ad who were Hud´s. To Thamud We Sent their brother Saleh. "O my people," he said, "worship God; you have no other god but He. It is He who raised you from the earth and settled you upon it. So beg your Lord to forgive you, and turn to Him in repentance. Surely my Lord is near and answers."

To the Thamud People (We sent) Salih, one of their own brethren. He said: "O my people! Worship Allah: ye have no other god but Him. It is He Who hath produced you from the earth and settled you therein: then ask forgiveness of Him, and turn to Him (in repentance): for my Lord is (always) near, ready to answer."

11:62

قَالُوْا یٰصٰلِحُ قَدْ كُنْتَ فِیْنَا مَرْجُوًّا قَبْلَ هٰذَاۤ اَتَنْهٰىنَاۤ اَنْ نَّعْبُدَ مَا یَعْبُدُ اٰبَآؤُنَا وَ اِنَّنَا لَفِیْ شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدْعُوْنَاۤ اِلَیْهِ مُرِیْبٍ(۶۲)

They said: "O Saleh, we had placed our hopes in you, but you forbid us from worshipping that which our fathers worshipped, and we are suspicious of what you are calling us to."

They said: "O Salih! thou hast been of us! a centre of our hopes hitherto! dost thou (now) forbid us the worship of what our fathers worshipped? But we are really in suspicious (disquieting) doubt as to that to which thou invitest us."

11:63

قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اَرَءَیْتُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُ عَلٰى بَیِّنَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّیْ وَ اٰتٰىنِیْ مِنْهُ رَحْمَةً فَمَنْ یَّنْصُرُنِیْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِنْ عَصَیْتُهٗ- فَمَا تَزِیْدُوْنَنِیْ غَیْرَ تَخْسِیْرٍ(۶۳)

He said: "O my people, have you considered that if my Lord has clearly shown me the way, and I have His blessings too, who will save me then from God if I disobey? You will only add to my ruin.

He said: "O my people! do ye see? if I have a Clear (Sign) from my Lord and He hath sent Mercy unto me from Himself,- who then can help me against Allah if I were to disobey Him? What then would ye add to my (portion) but perdition?

11:64

وَ یٰقَوْمِ هٰذِهٖ نَاقَةُ اللّٰهِ لَكُمْ اٰیَةً فَذَرُوْهَا تَاْكُلْ فِیْۤ اَرْضِ اللّٰهِ وَ لَا تَمَسُّوْهَا بِسُوْٓءٍ فَیَاْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ قَرِیْبٌ(۶۴)

O my people, this she-camel of God is a token for you. So leave her alone to graze on God´s earth, and do not molest her, otherwise the swiftest punishment would befall you."

"And O my people! This she-camel of Allah is a symbol to you: leave her to feed on Allah's (free) earth, and inflict no harm on her, or a swift penalty will seize you!"

11:65

فَعَقَرُوْهَا فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعُوْا فِیْ دَارِكُمْ ثَلٰثَةَ اَیَّامٍؕ-ذٰلِكَ وَعْدٌ غَیْرُ مَكْذُوْبٍ(۶۵)

But they hamstrung her. Then (Saleh) said: "You have but three days to enjoy life in your homes. Infallible is this promise.

But they did ham-string her. So he said: "Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days: (Then will be your ruin): (Behold) there a promise not to be belied!"

11:66

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا نَجَّیْنَا صٰلِحًا وَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَ مِنْ خِزْیِ یَوْمِىٕذٍؕ-اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْقَوِیُّ الْعَزِیْزُ(۶۶)

So, when Our command (of punishment) came We delivered Saleh by Our grace, and those who believed, with him, from the disgrace of that day. Verily your Lord is mighty and powerful.

When Our Decree issued, We saved Salih and those who believed with him, by (special) Grace from Ourselves - and from the Ignominy of that day. For thy Lord - He is the Strong One, and able to enforce His Will.

11:67

وَ اَخَذَ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّیْحَةُ فَاَصْبَحُوْا فِیْ دِیَارِهِمْ جٰثِمِیْنَۙ(۶۷)

The sinners were seized by a blast from heaven, and lay overturned in their homes in the morning,

The (mighty) Blast overtook the wrong-doers, and they lay prostrate in their homes before the morning,-

11:68

كَاَنْ لَّمْ یَغْنَوْا فِیْهَاؕ-اَلَاۤ اِنَّ ثَمُوْدَاۡ كَفَرُوْا رَبَّهُمْؕ-اَلَا بُعْدًا لِّثَمُوْدَ۠(۶۸)

As though they had never lived there at all. Beware! The people of Thamud turned away from their Lord. Beware! Accursed are the people of Thamud.

As if they had never dwelt and flourished there. Ah! Behold! for the Thamud rejected their Lord and Cherisher! Ah! Behold! removed (from sight) were the Thamud!

11:69

وَ لَقَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَاۤ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ بِالْبُشْرٰى قَالُوْا سَلٰمًاؕ-قَالَ سَلٰمٌ فَمَا لَبِثَ اَنْ جَآءَ بِعِجْلٍ حَنِیْذٍ(۶۹)

Our angels came to Abraham with good news, and said: "Peace on you. "Peace on you too," said Abraham, and hastened to bring a roasted calf.

There came Our messengers to Abraham with glad tidings. They said, "Peace!" He answered, "Peace!" and hastened to entertain them with a roasted calf.

11:70

فَلَمَّا رَاٰۤ اَیْدِیَهُمْ لَا تَصِلُ اِلَیْهِ نَكِرَهُمْ وَ اَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِیْفَةًؕ-قَالُوْا لَا تَخَفْ اِنَّاۤ اُرْسِلْنَاۤ اِلٰى قَوْمِ لُوْطٍؕ(۷۰)

When they did not stretch their hands towards it he became suspicious and afraid of them. They said: "Do not be afraid. We have been sent to the people of Lot."

But when he saw their hands went not towards the (meal), he felt some mistrust of them, and conceived a fear of them. They said: "Fear not: We have been sent against the people of Lut."

11:71

وَ امْرَاَتُهٗ قَآىٕمَةٌ فَضَحِكَتْ فَبَشَّرْنٰهَا بِاِسْحٰقَۙ-وَ مِنْ وَّرَآءِ اِسْحٰقَ یَعْقُوْبَ(۷۱)

His wife who stood near, laughed as We gave her the good news of Isaac, and after Isaac of Jacob.

And his wife was standing (there), and she laughed: But we gave her glad tidings of Isaac, and after him, of Jacob.

11:72

قَالَتْ یٰوَیْلَتٰۤى ءَاَلِدُ وَ اَنَا عَجُوْزٌ وَّ هٰذَا بَعْلِیْ شَیْخًاؕ-اِنَّ هٰذَا لَشَیْءٌ عَجِیْبٌ(۷۲)

She said: "Woe betide me! Will I give birth when I am old and this my husband be aged? This is indeed surprising!"

She said: "Alas for me! shall I bear a child, seeing I am an old woman, and my husband here is an old man? That would indeed be a wonderful thing!"

11:73

قَالُوْۤا اَتَعْجَبِیْنَ مِنْ اَمْرِ اللّٰهِ رَحْمَتُ اللّٰهِ وَ بَرَكٰتُهٗ عَلَیْكُمْ اَهْلَ الْبَیْتِؕ-اِنَّهٗ حَمِیْدٌ مَّجِیْدٌ(۷۳)

"Why are you surprised at the command of God? God´s mercy and blessings be upon you, O members of this household," they said. "Verily He is worthy of praise and glory."

They said: "Dost thou wonder at Allah's decree? The grace of Allah and His blessings on you, o ye people of the house! for He is indeed worthy of all praise, full of all glory!"

11:74

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنْ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ الرَّوْعُ وَ جَآءَتْهُ الْبُشْرٰى یُجَادِلُنَا فِیْ قَوْمِ لُوْطٍؕ(۷۴)

When Abraham´s fear was dispelled, and the good news had come to him, he pleaded for the people of Lot with Us.

When fear had passed from (the mind of) Abraham and the glad tidings had reached him, he began to plead with us for Lut's people.

11:75

اِنَّ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ لَحَلِیْمٌ اَوَّاهٌ مُّنِیْبٌ(۷۵)

Abraham was kind, compassionate, and penitent.

For Abraham was, without doubt, forbearing (of faults), compassionate, and given to look to Allah.

11:76

یٰۤاِبْرٰهِیْمُ اَعْرِضْ عَنْ هٰذَاۚ-اِنَّهٗ قَدْ جَآءَ اَمْرُ رَبِّكَۚ-وَ اِنَّهُمْ اٰتِیْهِمْ عَذَابٌ غَیْرُ مَرْدُوْدٍ(۷۶)

"Desist from pleading, O Abraham," (they said). "Your Lord´s command has verily been issued, and a punishment that cannot be averted is bound to fall on them."

O Abraham! Seek not this. The decree of thy Lord hath gone forth: for them there cometh a penalty that cannot be turned back!

11:77

وَ لَمَّا جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوْطًا سِیْٓءَ بِهِمْ وَ ضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَّ قَالَ هٰذَا یَوْمٌ عَصِیْبٌ(۷۷)

So when Our angels came to Lot, he grieved for them, and felt powerless to help them, and said: "This is a day of sorrow.

When Our messengers came to Lut, he was grieved on their account and felt himself powerless (to protect) them. He said: "This is a distressful day."

11:78

وَ جَآءَهٗ قَوْمُهٗ یُهْرَعُوْنَ اِلَیْهِؕ-وَ مِنْ قَبْلُ كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ السَّیِّاٰتِؕ-قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِیْ هُنَّ اَطْهَرُ لَكُمْ فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَ لَا تُخْزُوْنِ فِیْ ضَیْفِیْؕ-اَلَیْسَ مِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَّشِیْدٌ(۷۸)

His people came excited to him. They were addicted to sin already. Said (Lot): "O my people, these daughters of mine are cleaner (and lawful) for you. Have fear of God, and do not shame me before my guests. Is there no man of discernment among you?"

And his people came rushing towards him, and they had been long in the habit of practising abominations. He said: "O my people! Here are my daughters: they are purer for you (if ye marry)! Now fear Allah, and cover me not with shame about my guests! Is there not among you a single right-minded man?"

11:79

قَالُوْا لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا لَنَا فِیْ بَنٰتِكَ مِنْ حَقٍّۚ-وَ اِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ مَا نُرِیْدُ(۷۹)

They said: "You know we have no need for your daughters, and know well what we want."

They said: "Well dost thou know we have no need of thy daughters: indeed thou knowest quite well what we want!"

11:80

قَالَ لَوْ اَنَّ لِیْ بِكُمْ قُوَّةً اَوْ اٰوِیْۤ اِلٰى رُكْنٍ شَدِیْدٍ(۸۰)

"I wish I had the power to resist you," said (Lot), "or powerful support."

He said: "Would that I had power to suppress you or that I could betake myself to some powerful support."
