Surah 29. Al-Ankabut, Ayah 35
| وَلَقَدْ تَرَكْنَا مِنْهَا آيَةً بَيِّنَةً لِقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | wa- la- qad taraknaa min -haa 'aayah bayyinah li- qawm yacqilon |
| Pickthall | : | And verily of that We have left a clear sign for people who have sense. |
| Asad | : | And [so it happened; and] thereof, indeed, We have left a clear sign for people who use their reason.29 |
| Malik | : | Surely We have left a clear sign from it (the ruins of this town) for people who care to understand. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | And We have left thereof an evident Sign for any people who (care to) understand. 3457 |
Note - 29This is an allusion to the Dead Sea - known to this day
as Bahr Lut ("The Sea of Lot") - which covers most of the
region in which Sodom and Gomorrah were once situated.
Its waters contain so high a percentage of sulphur and
potash that no fish or plants can live in them.
|
Note - 3457The whole tract on the east side of the Dead Sea (where
the Cities were situated) is covered with sulphureous
salts and is deadly to animal and plant life. The Dead
Sea itself is called in Arabic the Bahr Lut (the sea of
Lot). It is a scene of utter desolation, that should
stand as a Symbol of the Destruction that awaits Sin.
