29.28-29-30

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)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

And ˹remember˺ Lūṭ when he said to his nation, “Indeed you commit an act of indecency which was never done, prior to you, by anyone in the worlds. Do you sodomize men and obstruct the path and commit evil into your congregations?” So the answer of his nation was only this that they said, “Bring upon us the punishment of Allah if you are among the truthful.”[1] He (Lūṭ) said, “O my Lord! Help me against these people who spread discord.”

Commentary

[1]

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.”
