English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And by night. Then why do you not understand?
English - Five Volume Translation
And by night. Then why do you not understand?
Commentary:
Sodom and Gomorrah were situated on the highway from Arabia to Syria where the Arab caravans passed by day and night. At another place in the Quran these towns are mentioned as having been situated "on a road that still exists" (15:77).
The present and the preceding verses are full of extreme pathos. The Quraishites of Mecca are told that a great Prophet has come to them. They have rejected him. They know that there had lived in the neighbouring land another Prophet, Lot. His people also rejected him and God utterly destroyed them for their wicked and abominable deeds. The site of their annihilated towns lies on the highway which leads to Syria to which country their (of the Quraishites) caravans frequently pass. Then why do they not take a lesson from the fate that met the people of Lot, and accept their own Prophet—the Holy Prophet Muhammad?
