Transliteration:( Wa Lootan iz qaala liqawmiheee innakum la ta'toonal faahishata maa sabaqakum bihaa min ahadin minal 'aalameen )
65. This means the people whose Prophet he was, were told because Hazrat Lut (On whom be peace) was neither from the family of that people nor from their country. He had come from Iraq while these people were from Syrian territory. There are many meanings attached with the word QAUM.
66. This tells us that nobody committed sodomy before the people of Hazrat Lut (On whom be peace). No animal did this disgusting deed. A sodomist is worse than an animal. This has been called indecent because every intelligent person is aware of its obscenity.

28. And (remember) Lut, when he said to his people: “You commit immoral sins which none has preceded you in (committing) it in all creatures.” 29. “Verily, you practice sodomy with men, and rob the wayfarer! And practice Al-Munkar in your meetings.” But his people gave no answer except that they said: “Bring Allah’s torment upon us if you are one of the truthful.” 30. He said: “My Lord! Give me victory over the people who are corrupt.”
Allah tells us that His Prophet Lut, peace be upon him, denounced his people for their evil deed and their immoral actions in having intercourse with males, a deed which none of the sons of Adam had ever committed before them. As well as doing this, they also disbelieved in Allah and rejected and opposed His Messenger, they robbed wayfarers, they would lie in wait on the road, kill people and loot their possessions.
(And practice Al-Munkar in your meetings.) This means, `in your gatherings you do and say things that are not befitting, and you do not denounce one another for doing such things.’ Some said that they used to have intercourse with one another in public; this was the view of Mujahid. Some said that they used to compete in passing gas and laughing. This was the view of `A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, and Al-Qasim. Some of them said that they used to make rams fight one another, or organize cockfights. They used to do all of these things, and they were even eviler than that.
(But his people gave no answer except that they said: “Bring Allah’s torment upon us if you are one of the truthful.”) This is indicative of their disbelief, scornful attitude and stubbornness. So Allah’s Prophet asked for help against them, and said:
(My Lord! Give me victory over the people who are corrupt.)
(29:28) We sent Lot[50] and he said to his people: “You commit the abomination that none in the world ever committed before you.
