Then Allah mentions Lut, whose full name was Lut bin Haran bin Azar. He
believed in Ibrahim and followed him, and migrated with him, as Allah says:
[فَـَامَنَ لَهُ
لُوطٌ وَقَالَ إِنِّى مُهَاجِرٌ إِلَى رَبِّى]
(So Lut believed in him. He (Ibrahim) said: "I will emigrate for the sake of
my Lord'') [29:26]. Allah gave him wisdom and knowledge; He sent Revelation to
him, made him a Prophet and appointed him to Sadum (Sodom) and its vicinity, but
they rejected him and resisted him, so Allah utterly destroyed them, as He tells
us in several places in His Book. Allah says;
[وَلُوطاً آتَيْنَـهُ
حُكْماً وَعِلْماً وَنَجَّيْنَـهُ مِنَ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِى كَانَت تَّعْمَلُ
الْخَبَـئِثَ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فَـسِقِينَ - وَأَدْخَلْنَـهُ فِى
رَحْمَتِنَآ إِنَّهُ مِنَ الصَّـلِحِينَ ]
(and We saved him from the town who practised Al-Khaba'ith. Verily, they were
a people given to evil, and were rebellious. And We admitted him to Our mercy;
truly, he was of the righteous.)
[وَنُوحاً إِذْ
نَادَى مِن قَبْلُ فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ فَنَجَّيْنَـهُ وَأَهْلَهُ مِنَ الْكَرْبِ
الْعَظِيمِ - وَنَصَرْنَـهُ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَايَـتِنَا
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فَأَغْرَقْنَـهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ]
(76. And (remember) Nuh, when he cried (to Us) aforetime. We answered to his
invocation and saved him and his family from the great distress.) (77. We helped
him against the people who denied Our Ayat. Verily, they were a people given to
evil. So We drowned them all.)
