15. Al-Hijr

He said ‘These here are my daughters if you must be doing’ what you desire to do in the way of satisfying your lust then marry them. God exalted be He says

By your life — this is an address to the Prophet s — in their drunkenness they were bewildered hesitant.

Then the Cry the Cry of Gabriel seized them at sunrise.

And We made their that is their cities’ topmost part their nethermost by Gabriel’s raising them the cities to the heaven and dropping them face down onto the earth and We rained on them stones of baked clay clay baked in fire.

Indeed in that which is mentioned there are signs indications of God’s Oneness for those who take note those who observe and take heed.

And indeed they that is the cities of the people of Lot are on a road that still remains Quraysh’s route to Syria one not yet effaced so why do they not take heed from their example?

There is indeed a sign a lesson in that for believers.

So We exacted retribution from them by destroying them through extreme heat. And certainly both of them that is the cities of the people of Lot and those of the dwellers in the wood are upon a open road plain to see so will you not take heed from their example O people of Mecca?

And verily the dwellers in al-Hijr — a valley between Medina and Syria — namely the tribe of Thamūd denied those who had been sent by God when they denied the prophet Sālih as this constituted a denial of the other messengers since they all shared the fact that they came with the Message proclaiming the Oneness of God.
