Allah says
وَلَمَّا جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُنَآ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ بِٱلۡبُشۡرَىٰ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا مُهۡلِكُوٓاْ أَهۡلِ هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡقَرۡيَةِۖ إِنَّ أَهۡلَهَا كَانُواْ ظَٰلِمِينَ (31)
And when Our messengers came to Abraham with the good news, they said, “Indeed, we will destroy the people of this town. Indeed, its people have been wrongdoers.” (31)
God’s messengers said to Abraham: We will destroy the people of this town, the town of Sodom, which is the town of Lot’s people, (Indeed, its people were unjust) He says: Its people were unjust to themselves; By disobeying God and denying the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, On the authority of Ibn Abbas, his saying: (And when Our messengers came to Abraham with the good news...) Until his saying: We know best who is in it. He said: So Abraham argued with the angels about Lot’s people to leave them, He said: He said, “What do you think if there were ten homes from Muslims in it, would you leave them out? The angels said: There are not ten houses in it, nor five, nor four, nor three, nor two. He said: He felt sad for Lot and his family, He said: “Indeed, therein is Lot.” They said, “We know best who is in it. We will certainly save him and his family, except his wife. She was among those who left behind.” That is his saying: He disputes with us about the people of Lot. * Indeed, Abraham is forbearing, weak and repentant. Then the angels said: So God sent Gabriel, may God bless him and grant him peace, to them, and he blew up the city and everything in it with one of his wings, making its highest part its lowest part, and pursued them with stones in every land.
Allah says
قَالَ إِنَّ فِيهَا لُوطٗاۚ قَالُواْ نَحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن فِيهَاۖ لَنُنَجِّيَنَّهُۥ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱمۡرَأَتَهُۥ كَانَتۡ مِنَ ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ (32)
He said, “Indeed therein is Lot.” They said, “We know with whoever is in it, We will certainly save him and his family, except his wife, who will be among those remaining (32)
Indeed, we will destroy the people of this town. Its people were unjust, and they did not exclude anyone from them, as they described them as unjust: (Indeed, therein is Lot), and he is not one of the unjust, rather he is one of God’s messengers, And the people who believe in Him and obey Him. The messengers said to him: (We know better who is in it) than the oppressors who disbelieve in God than you, and Lot is not one of them. Rather, he is, as you said, one of God’s guardians, (We will certainly save him and his family) from the destruction that is befalling the people of his town (except his wife, she was of those who passed away) whom the ages and days have preserved, and whose lives and lives have been prolonged, and she is perished from among the people of Lot along with her people.
Allah says
وَلَمَّآ أَن جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُنَا لُوطٗا سِيٓءَ بِهِمۡ وَضَاقَ بِهِمۡ ذَرۡعٗاۖ وَقَالُواْ لَا تَخَفۡ وَلَا تَحۡزَنۡ إِنَّا مُنَجُّوكَ وَأَهۡلَكَ إِلَّا ٱمۡرَأَتَكَ كَانَتۡ مِنَ ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ (33)
And when Our messengers came to Lot, He was displeased and distressed, And they said, “Do not be afraid, and do not be sad. Indeed, we will rescue you and your family, except your wife. She was of those who is remaining (33)
Allah says
إِنَّا مُنزِلُونَ عَلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِ هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡقَرۡيَةِ رِجۡزٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفۡسُقُونَ (34)
We will descend upon the people of this town a severe punishment, from the sky because they were defiantly disobedient (34)
The origin of rajas: a disease that affects camels, causing their thighs to tremble when they stand up
Allah says
وَلَقَد تَّرَكۡنَا مِنۡهَآ ءَايَةَۢ بَيِّنَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَعۡقِلُونَ (35)
And We have left from it a clear sign for your people to understand. (35)
A clear example and a solemn sermon, (for a people who understand) His arguments about God, and reflect on His sermons, and that clear sign to me is the pardon of their traces, and the lessons of their landmarks. they are the stones that rained down upon them.
Allah says
وَإِلَىٰ مَدۡيَنَ أَخَاهُمۡ شُعَيۡبٗا فَقَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱرۡجُواْ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَ وَلَا تَعۡثَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُفۡسِدِينَ (36)
And to the Madian of their brother Shuaib, So he said, “O your people, worship Allah and hope for the Last Day, and do not spread corruption in the land, spreading corruption.” (36)
God Almighty says: And I sent to Midian their brother Shuaib, and he said to them: (O my people, worship God) alone, and submit to Him in obedience, and submit to Him in worship, (And hope for the Last Day) He says: and hope for the reward of the Last Day by your worship of Me, and that is the Day of Resurrection, He says: And do not multiply disobedience to God on earth, and do not remain on it, but repent to God from it and repent.
Allah says
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلرَّجۡفَةُ فَأَصۡبَحُواْ فِي دَارِهِمۡ جَٰثِمِينَ (37)
So they denied him, and the tremor seized them, and they became crouching in their homes. (37)
Allah says
وَعَادٗا وَثَمُودَاْ وَقَد تَّبَيَّنَ لَكُم مِّن مَّسَٰكِنِهِمۡۖ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ فَصَدَّهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَكَانُواْ مُسۡتَبۡصِرِينَ (38)
And Aad and Thamud, indeed it's clear to you from their dwellings and Satan made their deeds adornment for them, So He turned them away from the path, and they were so clear-eyed (38)
A view on the verse
1 - Ad and Thamud were the owners of a great civilization that was unparalleled in their time, and perhaps the Chinese, Indian, or Babylonian civilization in Iraq existed at the same time, However, God Almighty chose Ad and Thamud from among the group of civilizations to mention them as an example, indicating the greatness of their civilization among the nations at this time of history.
2 - Are works has adornments? We know that the origin of things does not involve adornment. We are the ones who decorate the bride and decorate the home after it was on the red bricks...etc. Is the work we do an adornment? It seems, the work has an origin, and external adornments are far from the origin of the work. May God protect us from the fact that the original is not good and is wrapped in colorful decorative paper, Like a doctor who closes a wound when it is not clean.
3 - The reason for this adornment was (averting from the path of God)
4 - And they were insightful: You are knowledgeable that one of the rules of the Arabic language is that whatever is increased in structure, increases in the meaning, the word “Mustabsreen” is not “seeing” but rather an addition to the sign of “clairvoyance”, which is an indication of knowledge, understanding and jurisprudence, and this is what it contains of rebuke, because God - the Almighty - He says in another place in the Qur’an: “Say: Are those who know equal to those who do not know?” and he is the owner of a sound nature he will know that it is not possible to equate the two under any circumstances, so the punishment is double - May God protect you and us through His grace, not His justice.
