Hud 74-76
74-WHEN IBRAHIM WAS OUT OF FEAR AND AFTER HE HAD THE GOOD NEWS, HE WAS ARGUING WITH US ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF LUTE.
75- INDEED IBRAHIM IS FORBEARING, FEARING, AND OFTEN RETURNING TO ALLAH.
76- IBRAHIM STOP DOING THIS (ARGUING), FOR YOUR LORD’S COMMAND CAME AND A PUNISHMENT WILL COME TO THEM AND IT CAN NOT BE STOPPED.
After Ibrahim got over his initial fear and was pleased with the good news about having a son from Sarah, then he started arguing with the angels about the people of Lute. He was telling them about there being some righteous believers, including Lute. Allah the Highest knew that, for Allah the Highest said: “HE SAID: “LUTE IS THERE”, THEY SAID: “WE KNOW WHO IS THERE BETTER”. (S: 29 A: 32)
They told Ibrahim, peace upon him, that they know better than him who is there and they will be saved. Ibrahim, peace upon him, was arguing for the believers. The angels told him that Allah the Highest sent His command as to what will happen to the people of Lute, and nothing can change that. Allah the Highest praised him for three characteristics:
- Forbearing. Meaning that he was patient, tolerant and not quick to punish.
- Fearing Allah and the feeling for others when they suffer.(and his feelings for others when they suffer)
- Often returning to Allah the Highest and always seeking Allah’s advice about his life.
People may plead to Allah the Highest or beg for His mercy, but once Allah makes a command, there is no going back.
Ibrahim was very compassionate and kind, he might have hoped that if the people of Lute are given more time, they might believe and might stop their sinning. However, Allah the Highest knew better.
