74 Preface وَلوطًا آتَيناهُ حُكمًا وَعِلمًا وَنَجَّيناهُ مِنَ القَريَةِ الَّتي كانَت تَعمَلُ الخَبائِثَ ۗ إِنَّهُم كانوا قَومَ سَوءٍ فاسِقينَYusuf AliAnd to Lut, too, We gave Judgment and Knowledge, and We saved him from the town which practised abominations: truly they were a people given to Evil, a rebellious people.1Lot’s people were given to unspeakable abominations. His mission was to preach to them. He withstood Evil, but they rejected him. They were punished, but he and his followers were saved. See 15:61-74, 11:77-82, and 7:80-84.
