  • Shaheen International

89. Allah Almighty took vengeance for His Prophet Hazrat Shuaib (On whom be peace). by destroying these unjust people through fire. 

90. The word Imam means leader. The common road is called Imam because travellers follow it. Likewise, The Divine Tablet and Book of Deeds are referred by the Holy QUR'AAN as Imam. What this means is that the settlement of the people of Hazrat Lut and Shuaib are found on open roads enroute of the people of Makkah, which they would constantly pass by through their journeys. Why then do these people not take lessons from what they see?

 

(15:79) So We chastised them. The desolate locations of both communities lie on a well-known highway.[44]
