the truthwe are telling.” ’
And they devised a scheme and We devised a scheme, without their
knowledge. And behold the consequences of their plots! We
destroyed them utterly, together with all their people. Because they
sinned, their dwellings are desolate ruins. Surely in this there is a sign

while you see? Do you lustfully seek men instead of women? Surely
you are an ignorant people.'
Yet they gave no answer but this: 'Banish the house of Lut fromyour
city. They aremenwhowould keep chaste.'
So We delivered him and all his tribe, except his wife, whom We
caused to stay behind, pelting the others with rain; and evil was the

Say: 'Praise be to Allah and peace upon His servants whom He has
chosen! Who is more worthy, Allah or that which they serve besides
Him? (Surely worthier is He) who made the heavens and the earth. He
sends down water from the sky, bringing forth gardens of delight. Try
as you may, you cannot cause such trees to grow.'Another god besides
Allah?Yet they set up equals withHim.
(And surely worthier is He) who has established the earth and
watered it with running rivers; who has set mountains upon it and
placed a barrier between the Two Seas. Another god besides Allah?
