(21:74) We bestowed upon Lot sound judgement and knowledge,^[67] and We delivered him from the city that was immersed in foul deeds. They were indeed a wicked people, exceedingly disobedient.

67. The original Arabic word hukm is very comprehensive. It means judgment, wisdom and discretion, and authority from Allah. Ilm stands for the revealed knowledge of the truth. Thus, We bestowed hukm and ilm on Lot. We appointed Lot as a Prophet. For the story of Lot, see (Surah Al-Aaraf, Ayat 80-84); (Suran Yunus, Ayat 70-83); (Surah Al-Hijr, Ayat 57-74) and the E.Ns there of.
