72 : 11

قَالَتۡ يَٰوَيۡلَتَىٰٓ ءَأَلِدُ وَأَنَا۠ عَجُوزٞ وَهَٰذَا بَعۡلِي شَيۡخًاۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَيۡءٌ عَجِيبٞ

72. She said, “Oh, woe to me! Shall I give birth while I am an old woman, and this my husband is an old man? Indeed, this is truly a strange thing!”

73 : 11

قَالُوٓاْ أَتَعۡجَبِينَ مِنۡ أَمۡرِ ٱللَّهِۖ رَحۡمَتُ ٱللَّهِ وَبَرَكَٰتُهُۥ عَلَيۡكُمۡ أَهۡلَ ٱلۡبَيۡتِۚ إِنَّهُۥ حَمِيدٞ مَّجِيدٞ

73. They said, “Do you marvel at the decree of Allāh? The mercy of Allāh and His blessings be upon you, O people of the house. Indeed, He is Praiseworthy, Most Glorious."

74 : 11

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنۡ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلرَّوۡعُ وَجَآءَتۡهُ ٱلۡبُشۡرَىٰ يُجَٰدِلُنَا فِي قَوۡمِ لُوطٍ

74. Then, when the fright had gone away from Abraham and the glad tidings had reached him, he began to plead with Us concerning the people of Lot.

75 : 11

إِنَّ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ لَحَلِيمٌ أَوَّٰهٞ مُّنِيبٞ

75. Indeed, Abraham was surely forbearing, tender-hearted ^[11], and ever turning [to Allāh in repentance].

[11]. I.e., sighing or moaning during supplication out of grief for people and fear of Allāh. Loving others requires more than good intentions and well-wishes—it requires being “devoted to one another, joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer”. It requires being willing to not only “rejoice with those who rejoice” but to “mourn with those who mourn”. It requires all of us. In a broken world, none of us escape unwounded—hurt and scars are deeply embedded in each of us. But deeper still is our love to Allāh and His last and final messenger, the Prophet Muhammad; love tender enough to draw out those thorns with the balm of compassion, willing to embrace both friend and enemy to find healing together until the word of torment proves true only against those who insist in rejecting the truth of Islam.

76 : 11

يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ أَعۡرِضۡ عَنۡ هَٰذَآۖ إِنَّهُۥ قَدۡ جَآءَ أَمۡرُ رَبِّكَۖ وَإِنَّهُمۡ ءَاتِيهِمۡ عَذَابٌ غَيۡرُ مَرۡدُودٖ

76. O Abraham, turn away from this [pleading]. Indeed, your Lord’s decree has already come to pass, and indeed there will come upon them a punishment that cannot be repelled.

77 : 11

وَلَمَّا جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُنَا لُوطٗا سِيٓءَ بِهِمۡ وَضَاقَ بِهِمۡ ذَرۡعٗا وَقَالَ هَٰذَا يَوۡمٌ عَصِيبٞ

77. When Our [angelic] messengers came to Lot, he was deeply distressed on their account and felt straitened for them ^[12], saying, “This is a dreadful day.”

[12]. To offer them protection against his nation’s many violent homosexual men.

78 : 11

وَجَآءَهُۥ قَوۡمُهُۥ يُهۡرَعُونَ إِلَيۡهِ وَمِن قَبۡلُ كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِۚ قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِي هُنَّ أَطۡهَرُ لَكُمۡۖ فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُخۡزُونِ فِي ضَيۡفِيٓۖ أَلَيۡسَ مِنكُمۡ رَجُلٞ رَّشِيدٞ

78. His people came rushing toward him, and since before they used to commit evil deeds. He said, “O my people, here are my daughters—they are purer for you ^[13]. So fear Allāh, and do not disgrace me before my guests. Is there not among you a single right-minded man?”

[13]. Women of our community available for marriage.

79 : 11

قَالُواْ لَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتَ مَا لَنَا فِي بَنَاتِكَ مِنۡ حَقّٖ وَإِنَّكَ لَتَعۡلَمُ مَا نُرِيدُ

79. They said, “Indeed you know that we have no any right to your daughters, and you surely know well what we want.”

80 : 11

قَالَ لَوۡ أَنَّ لِي بِكُمۡ قُوَّةً أَوۡ ءَاوِيٓ إِلَىٰ رُكۡنٖ شَدِيدٖ

80. [Lot] said: "If only I had power against you, or could take refuge in a strong support.^[14]"

[14]. He thought he lacked the necessary cover of protection, especially that of his own clan. But, in that dire situation, his Protector was none but Allāh Almighty. Mohammad, God's messenger (ﷺ) said: “May Allāh bless Lūṭ; he sought the support of ˹true˺ mighty Backing."

81 : 11

قَالُواْ يَٰلُوطُ إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَن يَصِلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡكَۖ فَأَسۡرِ بِأَهۡلِكَ بِقِطۡعٖ مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَلَا يَلۡتَفِتۡ مِنكُمۡ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا ٱمۡرَأَتَكَۖ إِنَّهُۥ مُصِيبُهَا مَآ أَصَابَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ مَوۡعِدَهُمُ ٱلصُّبۡحُۚ أَلَيۡسَ ٱلصُّبۡحُ بِقَرِيبٖ

81. [The angels] said, “O Lot, we are messengers from your Lord — they will never reach you. So set out with your family in the dark part of the night ^[15], and let none of you look back — except your wife; surely, she will be struck by the same punishment that will strike them. Indeed, their appointed time is the morning — and is not the morning near?”

[15]. They made their escape very late at night at the time of saḥar, i.e. when dawn was about to break: “
