Why did Allah destroy Lot's people and drown Noah's?

Deeds, establishment of prayer, and giving and they were worshippers of us In this verse, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions as he does throughout the Quran, prayer and zakat together. And prayer in zakah are often mentioned together. Because prayer is the greatest of individualized worship of Allah. And is one of the greatest or is the greatest communitative type of worship of Allah. So, prayer is something between Allah and his servant. Is something that a person does of good to another person out of worship of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So, it articulates to us two types of worship. Some worship that is only for the person who's doing it. It only really benefits the person who's doing it like prayer and then there's other worship that is worship of Allah but others are by it like and so these two types of worship are found throughout the Quran. This is why we often find prayer in coupled. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says and to lot we gave judgement and knowledge. Judgment meaning judgment in his in his and his dispute with his people. When he commanded his people with good and they rejected that good, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave, gave him judgement, meaning that his judgement, the judgement of Allah was in his favor. He says, and knowledge, this is knowledge of revelation that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made him a prophet and a messenger. Ibrahim Alaihi Salam and Luot, they were related. It's mentioned that Lord was nephew the paternal nephew of Ibrahim. That's is Ibrahim's brother, son, his nephew, from his father's side And that Ibrahim Alaihi Salam, when he delivered his message to his people and he left Babylon and Iraq at that time. Was the only other person other than his wife Sara who believed in him. And so they left Babylon and made Hijalah to Hashem. It's mentioned that Ibrahim Alaihi Salam went to Palestine. Went to the border of Palestine and Jordan. regarded in the scriptures of the people of the book as the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and it's mentioned that the destruction of the people of Sodom and Gomorrah is where we today have the Dead Sea. It's mentioned that the Dead Sea is their remnants. Is this true? The majority of the scholars to my knowledge view this as being thee. The correct opinion. Geographically that's where the Dead Sea is is where was. And the Dead Sea is the remnants of the destruction of the people of Lut. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says and we saved him from the city that was committing wicked deeds. the sexual perversion that was rampant in the people of Luut is not the only thing that they would do that was evil. Obviously, that is of the most pertinent and of the most heinous. However, they were also thieves and liars, oppressors, and they were also idol worshipers, idolaters. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, indeed, they were a people of evil, defiantly disobedient. People of Lord Alaihi Salam. They were destroyed by Allah. Why? Because they were people of evil. They were not people who did evil. They were people of evil. They did it so much that it became part of them and they of it. He says subhanahu.

[Arabic recitation]

Disobedient. He goes on to state and we admitted him into our mercy. Lord Alaihi Salam. Why? Allah says, indeed he was of the righteous Meaning, throughout his life, the majority of his life, the time before the destruction of his people, he was a good and righteous man and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala saved him as a result of that righteousness. A loving goes on to mention Noor. He says, and Noah, he called to Allah before, meaning before the time of before the time of Ibrahim, and before the time of Ishaq and Yakub, there was there was no he was sent to his people. And he commanded his people with that which all the other prophets and messengers commanded. And he down to Allah to save him from his people and to destroy that wicked people that were at at that time. Allah said and so we responded to him and saved him and his family from the great affliction. Family here is a term that is more general than those who share kinship with a person. It is a family in the Quran is not an reference only to a person's relatives but it is also a reference to a person's followers or a person's people whom they are a part of. Obviously, family and its original sense, it means those who, those whom a person is related to by blood or by marriage. However, or or by suckling. However, in the Quran it is often as well used to mean something more broad, meaning not just someone whom you are have share their familial bonds with but also those who are believers and share the same religion and are followers of him. So, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions that he saved. Noor and his family. Meaning, his family and those who believed in him. Meaning, from the flood, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said and we aided him and saved him from the people who denied our signs. Signs meaning the miracles and the evidences of the prophethood of Noah. They denied the signs of Allah. Indeed they were a people of evil so we drowned them all together. Now what were what were these signs of Noah Alaihi Salam? Each prophet and messenger has miracles, signs to prove the validity of his mess and of his prophethood. Some of these miracles are mentioned to us the miracles of the miracles of Asa, the miracles of Musa, the miracle of Salah and so forth and some of them are not mentioned to us, but we do know that every prophet and messenger has miracles. One of the miracles that the scholars mention of was the length of time that he lived. He was given an inordinate amount of time to live and that is that just amongst his people, he remained 950 years as Allah mentioned in and that is just the time that he spent amongst his people other than what was after post flood. He was.
