Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 04)
Verses 56-59Verses 54-55

      The story of Lot has been cited in several other places in Qurän such as in:ِ S 7ِ11ِ15 and S 26. This is because Qurän is not a historical book, to narrate one incident once and for all. Whenever necessary mention is made of various parts of the incidents and the encounter of the prophets with their people, so as to teach lessons in the way of Man's development.

      Here the point of stress is that, the crime of the people of Lot was against their own nature! They went to men lustfully apart from woman and were awfully indulged in pederasty. They committed such indecency openly and they frankly defended when some one enjoined them to do good and to live that evil custom. They could feel how heinuous their deed was, and yet they gave way to their nasty passions:ِ

      ``And remind Lot when he said to his people:ِ ``Do you commit indecency while you see!?''

      The ending of the above verse, ``WHILE YOU SEE'' has been commented with a twofold of meaning. Some commentators have said that, the people of Lot would do their heinous act of pederasty openly and before the eyes of one another! But we do not think so. It may mean that they knew the obsceneness of their evil deeds, and could see the bad consequences of it, which had appeared among their wives and children and in general throughout their society, and yet they were not willing to desist!
