They are people who keep themselves pure!’ ### Progressive Muslims The only response of his people was: "Drive them out of your town; they are a people who wish to be pure!" ### Shabbir Ahmed They said, "Drive them out of your town! These people want to be models of purity. " ### Sam Gerrans — The Qur'an: A Complete Revelation And the response of his people was only that they said: “Turn them out of your city; they are a people who keep themselves pure!” ### The Monotheist Group — The Quran: A Monotheist Translation The only response of his people was: "Drive them out of your town; they are a people who wish to be pure!" ### Rashad Khalifa — The Final Testament His people responded by saying, "Evict them from your town. They are people who wish to be pure." ### Mohamed Ahmed - Samira His people made no answer, and only said: "Drive them out of the city. They profess to be pure." ### Sahih International — (Umm Muhammad, Mary Kennedy, Amatullah Bantley) But the answer of his people was only that they said, "Evict them from your city! Indeed, they are men who keep themselves pure. " ### Muhammad Asad But his people's only answer was this: "Expel them from your land! Verily, they are folk who make themselves out to be pure!" ### Marmaduke Pickthall And the answer of his people was only that they said (one to another): Turn them out of your township. They are folk, forsooth, who keep pure. ### Abul A'la Maududi — Tafhim commentary Their only answer was: 'Banish them from your town. They are a people who pretend to be pure.' [1] _Footnotes_ - [1] It is evident from the present verse that the people of Lot Were not only shameless and corrupt, but were also a people who had sunk in moral depravity to such a degree that even the presence of a few righteous persons had become intolerable to them. Their moral degradation left them with no patience for anyone who sought to bring about any moral reform. Even the slightest element of purity found in their society was too much for them, and they simply wished to have their society purged of it. When these people reached such a low point of wickedness and hostility to good, God decreed that they be wiped out altogether. When the collective life of a people becomes totally bereft of goodness and purity, it forfeits the right to exist on earth. Their example is like that of a basket of fruit. As long as some fruit remains firm, there is some justification to keep that basket. But the basket has to be thrown away when the fruit becomes rotten. ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab But what was the response of his people other than to say: " Oust Lut, his family and those who fell in line of your town, and drive them away; they are averse to our disposition and wish to cleanse themselves of what they imagine to be moral defilement". ### Bijan Moeinian Their only response was: "Deport these [God fearing] people out of here as they are too pious [and a threat to our ". .. way of life."] ### Al-Hilali & Khan And the answer of his people was only that they said: "Drive them out of your town, these are indeed men who want to be pure (from sins)!" ### Abdullah Yusuf Ali And his people gave no answer but this: they said, "Drive them out of your city: these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!" ### Mustafa Khattab — The Clear Quran But his people’s only response was to say, "Expel them from your land!

They are a people who pretend too much purity." ### Abdul Haleem The only response his people gave was to say [to one another], ‘Drive them out of your town! These men want to keep themselves chaste!’ ### Arthur John Arberry And the only answer of his people was that they said, 'Expel them from your city; surely they are folk that keep themselves clean!' ### E.
