About the Surah

       (The angels) said: “O Lut ( ) ! Indeed, we are the messengers from your Creator. (Don’t worry) These people cannot reach you (to harm you). (We have come to inflict torment upon them). Hence, you leave this place with your family during any part of the night and none of you should look back (i.e. leave swiftly) but your wife (will remain behind) and she will have same punishment as inflicted upon others.(We advise you to leave this place during the night since) indeed, their promise will be fulfilled early in the morning. [Lut ( )  was so much fed up with his people; he wished that punishment occurred even sooner than morning]. The angels added: “Is the morning not near?”
