سُوْرَةُ الْعَنْكَبُوْتِ
Surah Al-Ankaboot (29) — Ayah 26
۞ فَـَٔامَنَ لَهُۥ لُوطٌ ۘ وَقَالَ إِنِّى مُهَاجِرٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّىٓ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ﴿26﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
So Lût (Lot) believed in him [Ibrâhîm’s (Abraham) Message of Islâmic Monotheism]. He [Ibrâhîm (Abraham)] said: "I will emigrate for the sake of my Lord. Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."

26. (When Lot saw the fire become cool for Abraham) Lot believed in Abraham [40], and Abraham said, "I am going to migrate [41] to my Lord as He has commanded me. Surely, He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."

The Faith of Sayyiduna Lut and His Migration:
Hazrat Lut ؑ was the paternal cousin of Hazrat Ibrahim ؑ. Both were residents of the city of Babylon in Iraq. When Hazrat Ibrahim ؑ emerged safe and sound from the trial of the fire, at that time Hazrat Lut ؑ declared his faith in him. This does not mean at all that Hazrat Lut ؑ was previously a polytheist, because even before prophethood, the lives of prophets are, by Allah’s grace, pure and clean from such impurities. Besides the prophets, there are also many people who, though they possess a sound heart and detest polytheism, do not receive proper guidance. Even in the Prophetic era, before the Prophet’s prophethood, there were six such people.
[41] The commentators say that this migration was undertaken jointly by Hazrat Ibrahim ؑ and Hazrat Lut ؑ. And this journey of migration was from Babylon to Palestine. It was Allah’s wisdom that you should go there; it was at this very place that Hazrat Lut ؑ was also granted prophethood, so Hazrat Ibrahim ؑ sent Hazrat Lut ؑ towards the region of Sodom.
