Condition of the people of Lot

Surah Huud (Hud) - 11

 ‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

  وَلَمَّاجَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوطًا سِىٓءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَقَالَ هَٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَصِيبٌ (77 

 وَجَآءَهُۥ قَوْمُهُۥ يُهْرَعُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَمِن قَبْلُ كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ (78a

   

77.  And when Our Messengers came unto Lot, he was distressed and knew not how to protect them and he said: This is a distressful day. 78a.  And his people came unto him, running towards him. And before then they used to commit abominations.

77.  Wa  lammaa  jaaa-‘at  Rusu-luNaa  Luutan  siii-‘a  bihim  wa  zaaqa  bihim  zar-‘anw-wa  qaala  haazaa  yaw-mun  ‘asiib. 78a.  Wa  jaaa-‘ahuu  qaw-muhuu  yuhra-‘uuna  ‘ilayh.  Wa  min  qablu  kaanuu  ya’-maluu-nas-sayyi-‘aat.

Commentary

Zar-‘un – (the heart, self, mind), actually za-ra-‘a means “to measure”, then it was meant “to move”, and then its meaning became “spirit, strength, power”. Because these things exist in the heart, so the people began to use it as “heart”.

‘Asiibun – (distressful), this word is an adjective, which has been derived from ‘a-sa-ba. ‘Asab means “muscle, nerve, tendon”. ‘Asiib means “straitened, distressed, difficult”. 

Yuhra-‘uuna – (were caused to run), this word is from ‘ih-raa-‘un, which has come out from ha-ra-‘a. Hara-‘a mean “to run”. ‘Ih-raa-‘un means “to cause to run”. It aims that their wish (in the inmost) was compelling them to run fast.

When the Angels (peace be upon them) reached Prophet Lot (peace be up[on him) in the forms of beautiful and handsome youths and said: We have come unto you as guests. Lot (peace be up[on him) was confused because He was aware of the habit of His nation that they would not miss any chance to oppress them and it came out from His mouth: This is a distressful day. We don’t know how this day would be passed. The people of the folk had lost their wits when they saw the guests and came running unto them impatiently, because before then; they had become habitual of committing abominations unhesitatingly.

The only purpose of Angels’ coming unto Lot (peace be upon them) was to find eye evidence on their sin of committing carnal copulation against nature, and they should not be punished so much severely without proof.

Dignity of affection

Surah Huud (Hud) - 11

 ‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

 فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَعَنْ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلرَّوْعُ وَجَآءَتْهُ ٱلْبُشْرَىٰ يُجَٰدِلُنَا فِى قَوْمِ لُوطٍ 74

إِنَّ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ لَحَلِيمٌ أَوَّٰهٌ مُّنِيبٌ (75

 يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ أَعْرِضْ عَنْ هَٰذَآ إِنَّهُۥ قَدْ جَآءَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ وَإِنَّهُمْ ءَاتِيهِمْ عَذَابٌ غَيْرُ مَرْدُودٍ (76

   

74.  And when the awe departed from Abraham, and the glad news reached him, he pleaded with Us on behalf of the folk of Lot. 75.  Lo! Abraham was mild, imploring, penitent. 76.  (It was said) O Abraham! Forsake this! Lo! Thy Lord’s commandment hath gone forth, and lo! There cometh unto them a doom which cannot be repelled.

74.  Falammaa  zahaba  ‘an  ‘Ibraa-hiimar-raw-‘u  wa jaaa-‘at-hul-bushraa  yujaa-diluNaa  fii  Qawmi  Luut. 75.  ‘Inna  ‘Ibraa-hiima  la-halii-mun  ‘awwaa-hum-muniib. 76.  Yaaa-‘Ibraa-hiimu  ‘a’-riz  ‘an  haazaa.  ‘Innahuu  qad  jaaa-‘a  ‘amru  Rabbik.  Wa  ‘inna-hum  ‘aatii-him  ‘azaabun  gayru  mar-duud.

Commentary

‘Awwaa-hun – (imploring), this word is an adjective which has been derived fro ‘a-wa-hun. ‘A-wa-hun means “to utter grief in outcries, to lament”. ‘Awwaa-hun is the person who mourns when he sees any other in trouble.

After hearing glad news from the Angels (peace be upon them), all awe of Abraham (peace be upon him) departed. When he got satisfaction from this side; then thought about the folk of Lot (peace be upon them); that they would be ruined.

Naturally, Messenger Abraham (peace be upon him) was imploring and forgiver of the wrongdoers, who used to get support of Allah Almighty. He (peace be upon him) began to argue with the Angels concerning the folk of Lot (peace be upon him). That conversation between the Angels and Abraham (peace be upon them) has been named by Allah Almighty as yujaa-diluNaa (he pleaded with Us). Allah Almighty describes its reason that Abraham (peace be upon him) was mild; who used to excuse the sinner, imploring; who used to lament by observing others in difficulties, and penitent; who used to produce every matter in the Court of Allah Almighty.

Allah Almighty commanded about the intercession by Abraham (peace be upon him) for the folk of Lot (peace be upon him) that their matter has passed from the limit of recommendation. Now they cannot be given respite even for a moment, because they have been destroying social life of the human beings by carnal copulation against nature (sodomy).

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

 قَالُوٓا۟ أَتَعْجَبِينَ مِنْ أَمْرِ ٱللَّهِ رَحْمَتُ ٱللَّهِ وَبَرَكَٰتُهُۥ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ ٱلْبَيْتِ إِنَّهُۥ حَمِيدٌ مَّجِيدٌ (73

   

72.  She said: Oh woe is me! Shall I bear a child when I am an old woman, and this my husband is an old man? Lo! This is a strange thing! 73.  They said: Wonderest thou at the Commandment of Allah? The Mercy of Allah and His Blessings be upon you, O People of the House! Lo! He is Owner of Praise, Owner of Glory!

72.  Qaalat  yaa-way-lataaa  ‘a-‘alidu  wa  ‘anaa  ‘ajuu-zunw-wa  haazaa  ba’-lii  shay-khaa.  ‘Inna  haazaa  la-shay-‘un  ‘ajiib. 73.  Qaaluuu  ‘ata’-jabiina  min  ‘AmRillaahi  Rahma-tUllaahi  wa  Barakaatu-Huu  ‘alay-kum  ‘Ahlal-Bayt.  ‘Inna-Huu  Hamii-dum-Majiid.

Commentary

Yaa-way-lataaa – (Oh woe is me), meanings of the words “way-lun” and “way-latun” are “woe, heavy calamity, sorrow, an exclamation of grief, ruin and depravity etc. Actually this word is Yaa-way-lataa-hu, as though; someone calls to his misfortune and harm. When a person hears suddenly about any uncommon matter, he talks incoherently and such words come out from his mouth which have no meanings save it that he uses the words astonished with wonder.

The name of the wife of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon them) was Saarah. They had no child. However They were desiring of children always. Saarah was very aged woman at that time. When the Angels (peace be upon them) gave good tidings of a son, there was no limit of wonder and she spoke immediately without thinking: Oh woe is me! In this age, I shall bear a child while I am an old woman and my husband is also an old man. It is a wonderful thing.

The Angels (peace be upon them) answered: What is strange in it? Your house is such a place where Mercy and Blessings of Allah Almighty are sent down usually, and nothing is out of His Control.

Commentary

The Angels (peace be upon them) came unto Abraham (peace be upon him) in the appearance of human beings. He (peace be upon him) prepared food and brought for them considering that they were mankind, but when Abraham (peace be upon him) felt that They were not going to take food, then He saw Them carefully. After that, unusual impressions of fear and dignity appeared on the face of Abraham (peace be upon him). At that place, it was a fixed custom also that the person, who did not eat or drink from the house of any other, was considered that, “certainly he has come with any evil thought”. It was the reason that terror was born in the heart of Abraham (peace be upon him).

When the Angels (peace be upon them) observed this condition, they soothed Abraham (peace be upon him) and said: You should not fear. We are sent by Allah Almighty and have come for destruction of the folk of Lot (peace be upon him), and for giving you good tidings. After hearing this, the wife of Abraham (peace be upon him), who was standing nearby, laughed with happiness. The Angels (peace be upon them) said: We give you good tidings that a son of yours will be born, whose name will be Isaac. With the passage of time, a son will be born in the house of Isaac, whose name will be Jacob (peace be upon them).

وَلَقَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَآ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ بِٱلْبُشْرَىٰ قَالُوا۟ سَلَٰمًا قَالَ سَلَٰمٌ فَمَالَبِثَ أَن جَآءَ بِعِجْلٍ حَنِيذٍ (69

Commentary

Haniizin – (roasted), it is an adjective, origin of which is ha-na-za. Hanaza means “to roast, to fry”. Haniiz means roasted meat etc.

In this Surah (Chapter), circumstances of those Prophets (peace be upon them) have been mentioned who came in the duration of Prophet Noah to Moses and Aaron (peace be upon them). The aim of describing those incidents in Holy Qur’an at various place; is to console the last Messenger Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and along with it; to warn the people that those who disobey their Prophets (peace be upon them) and trouble them, consequence of theirs is nothing but ruin and destruction. In this regard, “which behavior was adopted by the nations of all above mentioned Prophets (peace be upon them) with them and resultant, how were they ruined” has been explained.

Prophet Lot (peace be upon him) and his folk has been described in this entire Section. Allah Almighty appointed Lot (peace be upon him) as a Prophet for the people of Jordan so that He (peace be upon him) should guide them unto the right path.

The Angels (peace be upon them) came; at first; unto Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) in the form of mankind and said: Peace! Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) answered them also with the word “Peace” and hurriedly went to arrange for food of those guests. He (peace be upon him) sacrificed a calf, fried it on the fire, and then brought it for the guests, to whom He (peace be upon him) considered that they were human beings due to their apparent condition.  

Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) was very famous for warm reception of the guests. According to His (peace be upon him) habit, at first, He thought about their provisions. He (peace be upon him) did not know that they were Angels (peace be upon them).
