The people of Lot rejected the Messengers.107 Remember the time when their brother Lot said to them, “Do you not fear? I am a Messenger to you worthy of full trust: so fear Allah and obey me. I do not ask of you any reward for this duty, for my reward is with the Lord of the worlds.” “Do you go to the males from the creatures of the world,108 and leave that which your Lord has created for you in your wives?109 You have indeed transgressed all limits.”110 They said, “O Lot, if you do not desist from this, you will surely be included among those who have been expelled from our towns.”111 He said, “I am certainly one of those who abhor your wickedness. My Lord, deliver me and my people from their wicked deeds.”112 At last, We delivered him and all his people except an old woman who was of those who were left behind.113 Then We destroyed all the rest of them, and rained on them a horrible rain, which fell on those who had been warned.114 Indeed there is a Sign in this, but most of these people would not believe. The fact is that your Lord is Mighty as well as Merciful.
