Translation of the verse 40 from Surah Al-Furqan : Number of verses 77 - - page 363 - Part 19.
And indeed they have passed by the town [of Prophet Lout (Lot)] on which was rained the evil rain. Did they (disbelievers) not then see it (with their own eyes)? Nay! But they used not to expect for any resurrection.
And they have already come upon the town which was showered with a rain of evil. So have they not seen it? But they are not expecting resurrection.
(25:40) Surely, these people have passed by that habitation on which was rained an evil rain: *53 have they not seen its ruins ? But they do not expect another life in the Hereafter. *54
*53) The habitation referred to was that of the people of Prophet Lot, which was destroyed by a rain of stones. The people of Hijaz while traveling to Palestine and Syria, passed by its ruins and heard the horrible tales of its destruction .
*54) As the disbelievers did not believe in the Hereafter, they looked at these ancient ruins as mere spectators and did not take any warning from them. Incidentally, this is the difference between the observation of a disbeliever and of a Believer in the Hereafter: the former looks at such things as a mere spectator or at the most as an archaeologist whereas the latter learns moral lessons from the same and obtains an insight into the realities beyond this worldly life.
