(11:80) He said, "If only I had against you some power or could take refuge in a strong support." (11:81) The angels said, "O Lot, indeed we are messengers of your Lord; [therefore], they will never reach you. So set out with your family during a portion of the night and let not any among you look back - except your wife; indeed, she will be struck by that which strikes them. Indeed, their appointment is [for] the morning. Is not the morning near?" (11:82) So when Our command came, We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of layered hard clay, [which were] (11:83) Marked from your Lord. And Allah `s punishment is not from the wrongdoers [very] far. (11:84) And to Madyan [We sent] their brother Shu`ayb. He said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. And do not decrease from the measure and the scale. Indeed, I see you in prosperity, but indeed, I fear for you the punishment of an all-encompassing Day. (11:85) And O my people, give full measure and weight in justice and do not deprive the people of their due and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption. (11:86) What remains [lawful] from Allah is best for you, if you would be believers. But I am not a guardian over you."
