Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf).

➋ { اِلَّاۤ اٰلَ لُوْطٍ:} Not a single person from the people of Lot believed in him, not even his wife, who remained a disbeliever. (See Adh-Dhariyat: 36; Hud: 81) Therefore, here "the family of Lot" refers only to his children, with whom he himself was included. Allah Almighty did not consider a disbeliever as part of the Prophet's family or household, whether it be a wife, as in the case of Lot's wife, or a son, as in the case of Noah's son, about whom He said: « اِنَّهٗ لَيْسَ مِنْ اَهْلِكَ » [ ھود : ۴۶ ] "Indeed, he is not of your family."
➌ { نَجَّيْنٰهُمْ بِسَحَرٍ:} For its explanation, see the commentary of Surah Hud (81).

The Punishment Upon the People of Lut:
Sayyiduna Lutؑ was informed beforehand that a dreadful punishment would befall his people in the morning. Therefore, during the night, he was to take his followers and leave the town. His wife would not go with him; she would remain behind and be among those who would be punished. And when you leave, you yourself should stay at the very end, and none of you should look back. Lest anyone's heart be tempted to see what kind of punishment is coming upon this people, otherwise, he too would be caught up in the punishment.
