(The Messengers) said: "O Lut! We are Messengers from thy Lord! By no means shall they reach thee! now travel with thy family while yet a part of the night remains, and let not any of you look back: but thy wife (will remain behind): To her will happen what happens to the people. Morning is their time appointed: Is not the morning nigh?"

To the Madyan People (We sent) Shu'aib, one of their own brethren: he said: "O my people! worship Allah: Ye have no other god but Him. And give not short measure or weight: I see you in prosperity, but I fear for you the penalty of a day that will compass (you) all round.

"And O my people! give just measure and weight, nor withhold from the people the things that are their due: commit not evil in the land with intent to do mischief.

"And O my people! give just measure and weight, nor withhold from the people the things that are their due: commit not evil in the land with intent to do mischief.

Therefore stand firm (in the straight Path) as thou art commanded,- thou and those who with thee turn (unto Allah); and transgress not (from the Path): for He seeth well all that ye do.

And incline not to those who do wrong, or the Fire will seize you; and ye have no protectors other than Allah, nor shall ye be helped.

If thy Lord had so willed, He could have made mankind one people: but they will not cease to dispute.

Thus did We give established power to Joseph in the land, to take possession therein as, when, or where he pleased. We bestow of our Mercy on whom We please, and We suffer not, to be lost, the reward of those who do good.

"Now if ye bring him not to me, ye shall have no measure (of corn) from me, nor shall ye (even) come near me."

"O my sons! go ye and enquire about Joseph and his brother, and never give up hope of Allah's Soothing Mercy: truly no one despairs of Allah's Soothing Mercy, except those who have no faith."

(Respite will be granted) until, when the messengers give up hope (of their people) and (come to) think that they were treated as liars, there reaches them Our help, and those whom We will are delivered into safety. But never will be warded off our punishment from those who are in sin.

Say: "Who is the Lord and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth?" Say: "(It is) Allah." Say: "Do ye then take (for worship) protectors other than Him, such as have no power either for good or for harm to themselves?" Say: "Are the blind equal with those who see? Or the depths of darkness equal with light?" Or do they assign to Allah partners who have created (anything) as He has created, so that the creation seemed to them similar? Say: "Allah is the Creator of all things: He is the One, the Supreme and Irresistible."

Those who fulfil the covenant of Allah and fail not in their plighted word;

If there were a Qur'an with which mountains were moved, or the earth were cloven asunder, or the dead were made to speak, (this would be the one!) But, truly, the command is with Allah in all things! Do not the Believers know, that, had Allah (so) willed, He could have guided all mankind (to the right)? But the Unbelievers,- never will disaster cease to seize them for their (ill) deeds, or to settle close to their homes, until the promise of Allah come to pass, for, verily, Allah will not fail in His promise.

Those to whom We have given the Book rejoice at what hath been revealed unto thee: but there are among the clans those who reject a part thereof. Say: "I am commanded to worship Allah, and not to join partners with Him. Unto Him do I call, and unto Him is my return."

Thus have We revealed it to be a judgment of authority in Arabic. Wert thou to follow their (vain) desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither protector nor defender against Allah.

In gulps will he sip it, but never will he be near swallowing it down his throat: death will come to him from every quarter, yet will he not die: and in front of him will be a chastisement unrelenting.

Speak to my servants who have believed, that they may establish regular prayers, and spend (in charity) out of the sustenance we have given them, secretly and openly, before the coming of a Day in which there will be neither mutual bargaining nor befriending.

"O our Lord! truly Thou dost know what we conceal and what we reveal: for nothing whatever is hidden from Allah, whether on earth or in heaven.

Think not that Allah doth not heed the deeds of those who do wrong. He but giveth them respite against a Day when the eyes will fixedly stare in horror,-

"Then travel by night with thy household, when a portion of the night (yet remains), and do thou bring up the rear: let no one amongst you look back, but pass on whither ye are ordered."

"But fear Allah, and shame me not."

Strain not thine eyes. (Wistfully) at what We have bestowed on certain classes of them, nor grieve over them: but lower thy wing (in gentleness) to the believers.

The worshippers of false gods say: "If Allah had so willed, we should not have worshipped aught but Him - neither we nor our fathers,- nor should we have prescribed prohibitions other than His." So did those who went before them. But what is the mission of messengers but to preach the Clear Message?

If Allah were to punish men for their wrong-doing, He would not leave, on the (earth), a single living creature: but He gives them respite for a stated Term: When their Term expires, they would not be able to delay (the punishment) for a single hour, just as they would not be able to anticipate it (for a single hour).

And worship others than Allah,- such as have no power of providing them, for sustenance, with anything in heavens or earth, and cannot possibly have such power?

One Day We shall raise from all Peoples a Witness: then will no excuse be accepted from Unbelievers, nor will they receive any favours.

When the wrong-doers (actually) see the Penalty, then will it in no way be mitigated, nor will they then receive respite.

Fulfil the Covenant of Allah when ye have entered into it, and break not your oaths after ye have confirmed them; indeed ye have made Allah your surety; for Allah knoweth all that ye do.

他们说：“鲁特啊！我们确是你的主的使者，他们绝不能伤及你。你应当带著你的家属在五更出行--你们中的任何人都不要回头看--但你的妻子除外，她将与他们同遭毁灭。他们约定的时间是早晨，难道早晨不是临近的吗？”

我确已派遣麦德彦人的弟兄舒阿卜去教化他们，他说：“我的宗族啊！你们应当崇拜真主，除他外，绝无应受你们崇拜的。你们不要用小斗和小秤，我的确认为你们是昌盛的，我的确怕你们遭受围困日的惩罚。

我的宗族啊！你们应当使用充足的斗和公平的秤，你们不要克扣他人应得的财物，不要在地方上为非作歹。

我的宗族啊！你们应当使用充足的斗和公平的秤，你们不要克扣他人应得的财物，不要在地方上为非作歹。

你应当按照天命而遵循正路，与你一起悔过的人，也当遵循正路。你们不要过分，他确是明察你们的行为的。

你们不要倾向不义的人，以免遭受火刑。除真主外，你们绝无保护者，然后，你们不能获得援助。

假若你的主意欲，他必使众人变成为－个民族。他们将继续分歧，

我这样使优素福在国内获得权力，在他所要的地方占优势，我把我的慈恩降给我所意欲者，我不会让行善者徒劳无酬。

如果你们不带他来见我，你们就不能从我这里购买一颗粮食，你们也不得临近我。”

他说：“我的孩子们！你们去打听优素福和他弟弟的消息吧。你们不要绝望于真主的慈恩，只有不信道的人们才绝望于真主的慈恩。”

直到众使者绝望，而且猜想自己被欺骗的时候，我的援助才来临他们，而我拯救了我所意欲的人。我所加于犯罪的人们的惩罚是不可抗拒的。

你说：“谁是天地的主？”你说：“真主。”你说：“难道你们舍真主而把那些不能自主祸福者当作保佑者吗？”你说，”盲人与非盲人是一样的吗？黑暗与光明是一样的吗？”他们为真主树立了许多伙伴，难道那些伙伴能像真主那样创造万物，以致他们分辨不出两种创造吗？你说：“真主是万物的创造者，他确是独一的，确是万能的。”

他们是实践真主的誓约而且不破坏盟约的。

假若有一部《古兰经》，可用来移动山岳，或破裂大地，或使死人说话，（他们必不信它）。不然，一切事情只归真主，难道信道的人们不知道吗？假若真主意欲，地必引导全人类。不信道的人们还要因自己的行为而遭受灾殃，或他们住宅的附近遭受灾殃，直到真主的应许到来。真主确是不爽约的。

蒙我赏赐经典的人喜欢降示给你的经典，同盟者当中，有人否认这经典的一部分。你说：“我只奉命崇拜真主，而不以物配他，我只号召人崇拜他，我只归依他。”

我这样把它降示为阿拉伯文的智慧。在知识降临你之后，如果你顺从他们的欲望，那末，你对真主的（惩罚）绝无任何保护者，也绝无任何保卫者。

一口一口地饮，几乎咽不下去。死亡将从各处降临他，但他永不会死。在那种刑罚之后，还有严峻的刑罚。

你要对我的那些信道的仆人，说：让他们谨守拜功，并且在那既无买卖又无友谊之日来临以前，秘密地和公开地分舍我所赐予他们的财物。

我们的主啊！你必定知道我们所隐讳的和我们所表白的。天地间没有什么事物能瞒过真主。

你绝不要以为真主忽视不义者的行为，他只对他们缓刑到瞪眼的日子，

你应当带著你的家族在深夜出行，你要跟在他们的后面，你们中的任何人也不要回头看。你们应当往前走，一直走到你们奉命到达的地方。”

你们应当敬畏真主，你们不要差辱我。”

你不要觊觎我所使他们中各等人所享受的事物，你不要为他们而悲哀。你应当温和地对待信士们。

以物配主者说：“假若真主意欲，则我们和我们的祖先不会舍他而崇拜任何物的，我们也不会擅自戒除任何物的。”在他们之前的人，曾这样做过了。使者们只负明白的传达的责任。

如果真主为世人的不义而惩治他们，那末，他不留一个人在大地上，但他让他们延迟到一个定期，当他们的定期来临的时候，他们不得延迟一霎时，（当其未来临的时候），他们不能提前一霎时。

他们舍真主而崇拜（偶像），那是不能为他们主持从天上降下的和从地上生出的一点给养，而且毫无能力的。

在那日，我要在每个民族中推举一个见证，然后，不信道者不得为自己辩护，也不得向他们讨好。

当不义者看见刑罚的时候，他们不得减刑，也不得缓刑。

当你们缔结盟约的时候，你们应当履行。你们既以真主为你们的保证者，则缔结盟约之后就不要违背誓言。真主的确知道你们的行为。
