The Holy Quran 11:81 — Surah Hud

Arabic text

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰلُوطُ إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَن يَصِلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْكَ ۖ فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَكَ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ مُصِيبُهَا مَآ أَصَابَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ مَوْعِدَهُمُ ٱلصُّبْحُ ۚ أَلَيْسَ ٱلصُّبْحُ بِقَرِيبٍ

Translation

The angels said, “O Loot عليه الصلاة والسلام! We are the messengers of your Rabb. They will never be able to reach (harm) you. So leave (the cities) with your family during a portion of the night, and none should turn to look back; excepting your wife, (do not take her with you because) she will be afflicted with the same punishment that shall afflict them (she had informed the people about the coming of their guests). The morning has been fixed for the punishment. Is the morning not soon enough?"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
