160 Preface كَذَّبَت قَومُ لوطٍ المُرسَلينَYusuf AliThe people of Lut rejected1 the messengers.The story of Lut (Lot) will be found in 7:80-84: see n. 1049. Here the point is that the people of the Cities of the Plain were shamelessly addicted to vice against nature, and Lut’s warning only exasperated them, until they were destroyed by a shower of brimstone.
