قَالَ وَمَن يَقۡنَطُ مِن رَّحۡمَةِ رَبِّهِۦٓ إِلَّا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ
(15:56) Abraham said: "Who despairs of the Mercy of his Lord except the misguided?"
قَالَ فَمَا خَطۡبُكُمۡ أَيُّهَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ
(15:57) He added: "What is your errand O sent ones?"3
قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّآ أُرۡسِلۡنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمٖ مُّجۡرِمِينَ
(15:58) They said: "Verily we have been sent to a guilty people4
إِلَّآ ءَالَ لُوطٍ إِنَّا لَمُنَجُّوهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ
(15:59) excepting the household of Lot. We shall deliver all of them,
إِلَّا ٱمۡرَأَتَهُۥ قَدَّرۡنَآ إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ
(15:60) except his wife (about whom Allah says that) We have decreed that
she shall be among those who stay behind."
she shall be among those who stay behind."
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ءَالَ لُوطٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ
(15:61) So when the envoys came to the household of Lot,5
قَالَ إِنَّكُمۡ قَوۡمٞ مُّنكَرُونَ
(15:62) he said: "Surely you are an unknown folk."6
