📖 Commentary of Surah An-Naml – Verse 56

"Then the only response from his people was to say, 'Expel the family of Lut from your city; indeed, they are people who wish to remain pure' [109]."

✅ [109] Mocking Purity as a Crime

This verse exposes the moral bankruptcy of the people of Lut. They viewed purity and modesty as something offensive, to the extent that they wanted to expel those who upheld it. Their statement was not just rejection, but a mockery of righteousness—considering the desire to remain pure a fault, and thus proving their own corruption and ignorance.
