29.28-30

وَ لُوْطًا اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهٖۤ اِنَّكُمْ لَتَاْتُوْنَ الْفَاحِشَةَ٘-مَا سَبَقَكُمْ بِهَا مِنْ اَحَدٍ مِّنَ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ(28) اَىٕنَّكُمْ لَتَاْتُوْنَ الرِّجَالَ وَ تَقْطَعُوْنَ السَّبِیْلَ ﳔ وَ تَاْتُوْنَ فِیْ نَادِیْكُمُ الْمُنْكَرَؕ-فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ قَالُوا ائْتِنَا بِعَذَابِ اللّٰهِ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ(29) قَالَ رَبِّ انْصُرْنِیْ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْمُفْسِدِیْنَ۠ (30)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

And We rescued Loot when he said to his people, 'You indeed commit a shameful act, which no one in creation has ever done before you.' 'Do you commit the shameless act with men, and cut off paths (i.e. commit robbery), and you utter evils in your gathering?' So, his people had no answer except to say this; 'Bring the punishment of Allah upon us, if you are truthful.' He submitted, 'O my Lord, help me against these corrupt people.'

Commentary

The nation of Prophet Lūṭ عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم would even commit forceful sodomy with travellers to the extent that people stopped travelling through that area. Besides this, they habitually engaged in immoral and despicable acts which are unacceptable in any civil society. This included using vulgar language, throwing stones at people, blocking public pathways, consuming alcohol, and harassment. Prophet Lūṭ عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم reprimanded them for this. Still, they replied sarcastically, “If you are truthful about these acts being repulsive and punishment descending upon those who commit them, bring the punishment upon us.”
