Quran 29 Verse 28 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Ankabut ayat 28, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(29:28) We sent Lot[50] and he said to his people: “You commit the abomination that none in the world ever committed before you.
50. For comparison, see (Surah Al-Aaraf, Ayat 80-84); (Surah Hud, Ayat 69-83); (Surah Al-Hijr, Ayat 57-79); (Surah Al-Anbiya, Ayat 71-75); (Surah Ash-Shuara, Ayat 160-175); (Surah An-Naml, Ayat 54) (Surah An-Naml, Ayat 59); (Surah As-Saffat, Ayat 133-138); (Surah Al-Qamar, Ayat 33-40).
Ibn-Kathir
28. And (remember) Lut, when he said to his people: “You commit immoral sins which none has preceded you in (committing) it in all creatures.” 29. “Verily, you practice sodomy with men, and rob the wayfarer! And practice Al-Munkar in your meetings.” But his people gave no answer except that they said: “Bring Allah’s torment upon us if you are one of the truthful.” 30. He said: “My Lord! Give me victory over the people who are corrupt.”
Allah tells us that His Prophet Lut, peace be upon him, denounced his people for their evil deed and their immoral actions in having intercourse with males, a deed which none of the sons of Adam had ever committed before them. As well as doing this, they also disbelieved in Allah and rejected and opposed His Messenger, they robbed wayfarers, they would lie in wait on the road, kill people and loot their possessions.
(And practice Al-Munkar in your meetings.) This means, `in your gatherings you do and say things that are not befitting, and you do not denounce one another for doing such things.’ Some said that they used to have intercourse with one another in public; this was the view of Mujahid. Some said that they used to compete in passing gas and laughing. This was the view of `A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, and Al-Qasim. Some of them said that they used to make rams fight one another, or organize cockfights. They used to do all of these things, and they were even eviler than that.
(But his people gave no answer except that they said: “Bring Allah’s torment upon us if you are one of the truthful.”) This is indicative of their disbelief, scornful attitude and stubbornness. So Allah’s Prophet asked for help against them, and said:
(My Lord! Give me victory over the people who are corrupt.)
