27.51 . Then see the nature of the consequence of their plotting , for lo! We destroyed them and their people , every one .
27. 27.52 . See , yonder are their dwellings empty and in ruins because they did wrong . Lo! herein is indeed a portent for a people who have knowledge .
27. 27.53 . And we saved those who believed and used to ward off ( evil ) .
27. 27.54 . And Lot! when he said unto his folk : will ye commit abomination knowingly?
27. 27.55 . Must ye needs lust after men instead of women? Nay , but ye are folk who act senselessly .
27. 27.56 . But the answer of his folk was naught save that they said : Expel the household of Lot from your township , for they ( forsooth ) are folk who would keep clean!
27. 27.57 . Then we saved him and his household save his wife ; We destined her to be of those who stayed behind .
27. 27.58 . And We rained a rain upon them . Dreadful is the rain of those who have been warned .
27. 27.59 . Say ( O Muhammad ) : Praise be to Allah , and peace be on His slaves whom He hath chosen! Is Allah best , or ( all ) that ye ascribe as partners ( unto Him ) ?
27. 27.60 . Is not He ( best ) who created the heavens and the earth , and sendeth down for you water from the sky wherewith We cause to spring forth joyous orchards , whose trees it never hath been yours to cause to grow . Is there any God beside Allah? Nay , but they are folk who ascribe equals ( unto Him ) !
