The Reason why the Angels cameAllah tells us that after Ibrahim had calmed down from the excitement of this good news, he started to ask them why they had come to him. They said,إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَى قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ(We have been sent to a guilty people.) meaning the people of Lut. They told him that they were going to save the family of Lut from among those people, except for his wife, because she was one of those who were doomed. Thus it was said,إِلاَّ امْرَأَتَهُ قَدَّرْنَآ إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ الْغَـبِرِينَ (Except for his wife, of whom We have decreed that she shall be of those who remain behind.) i.e., she was one of those who would be left behind and will be destroyed.
بابحضرت ابراھیم علیہ السلام کا جب ڈر خوف جاتا رہا بلکہ بشارت بھی مل گئی تو اب فرشتوں سے ان کے آنے کی وجہ دریافت کی۔ انہوں نے بتلایا کہ لوطیوں کی بستیاں الٹنے کے لیے ہم آئے ہیں مگر لوط علیہ السلام کی آل نجات پالے گی۔ ہاں اس آل میں سے ان کی بیوی نہیں بچ سکتی۔ وہ قوم کے ساتھ رہ جائے گی اور ہلاکت میں ان کے ساتھ ہی ہلاک ہوگی۔صفحہ نمبر4346
آیت 57 قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ اَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُوْنَ اب حضرت ابراہیم نے ان سے پوچھ ہی لیا کہ آپ لوگوں کے یہاں آنے کا کیا مقصد ہے ؟ آپ کو کیا مہم درپیش ہے ؟
From verse 48: لَا يَمَسُّهُمْ فِيهَا نَصَبٌ وَمَا هُم مِّنْهَا بِمُخْرَجِينَ (No weariness shall touch them therein nor will they be expelled from there), we learn about two features of Jannah: (1) No one shall ever feel tired or weak. This is contrary to what happens in our mortal world where hard work naturally results in fatigue. In fact, even a state of total rest and fun would sometimes tire a person out, no matter how enjoyable are things one is occupied with. (2) The other feature of Jannah we discover is that the blessings once received there shall be eternal. These blessings shall never diminish nor shall anyone be expelled from there. In Surah Sad, it was said:إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَرِزْقُنَا مَا لَهُ مِن نَّفَادٍ (This is sustenance provided by Us which is never to exhaust - 38:54). And in the present verse, it was said: وَمَا هُم مِّنْهَا بِمُخْرَجِينَ (nor will they be expelled from there) that is, they shall never be deprived of the state of bliss bestowed upon them. This is contrary to the affairs of the mortal world where the recipient of the best of conveniences lives under the apprehension that the Over of the facilities may become displeased with him one of those days and expel him out.As for the third probability, that the blessings of Jannah may remain everlasting, nor one is expelled from there, but one may himself get bored by living there and wish to go out, the Qur’ an has demolished this probability in one sentence of Surah Al-Kahf with the following words: لَا يَبْغُونَ عَنْهَا حِوَلًا (That is, these people too would never seek to return from there - 18:108).
Lut (Lot) was a contemporary of Ibrahim sent to the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah (identified in the Dead Sea region). The people were notorious for robbery, inhospitality, and sexual deviance toward males. When the angelic visitors came to Lut, his people attempted to assault them. The angels revealed their identity and commanded Lut to flee with his family before dawn; his wife was told not to look back. The cities were then overturned and rained upon with baked stones — destroyed from below and above.
