Translation

When Our messenger angels came to Ibraheem عليه الصلاة والسلام with the good news (that he was to father a son by the name of Is'haaq عليه الصلاة والسلام), they (also) said, "We are to destroy the inhabitants of this town (of Loot عليه الصلاة والسلام). Its inhabitants are certainly oppressors (terrible sinners)."
