➋ { وَ مَا قَوْمُ لُوْطٍ مِّنْكُمْ بِبَعِيْدٍ :} means that if you did not take heed from the drowning of the people of Noah, the destruction of the people of Hud by the windstorm, and the annihilation of the people of Salih by the shriek and earthquake—because their region or era was distant from you—then the people of Lot are not far from you, neither much time has passed since them, nor is their region far from yours. It should be noted that geographically, the region of Madyan was adjacent to the land where the people of Lot lived.

[101] From this verse, it is understood that these dialogues between Shu'ayb (peace be upon him) and his people took place at different times. They were not happening in a calm environment; rather, his people had become obstinate in their opposition to him. That is, such stubbornness in which a person begins to take even the correct words of the addressee in the opposite sense. That is why he said to them: Do not, in your agitation and provocation against me, become even more deeply immersed in polytheism and dishonest business practices than before, to the extent that you reach a state where you become deserving of the divine punishment that befell your predecessor nations. Among them, the destroyed region of the people of Lot (peace be upon him) is not far from you; you can see it at any time, and not much time has passed since then either, and your elders can also recount to you the circumstances of that nation.
