Tafseer Ibn Kathir

The Faith of Lut and His Emigration with Ibrahim

Allah tells;

فَأمَنَ لَهُ لُوطٌ

So, Lut believed in him.

Allah tells us that Lut believed in Ibrahim.

It was said that he was the son of Ibrahim's brother, and that his name was Lut bin Haran bin Azar. None of Ibrahim's people believed in Ibrahim besides Lut and Sarah the wife of Ibrahim. But if it is asked how we may reconcile this Ayah with the Hadith narrated in the Sahih which says that when Ibrahim passed by that tyrant and he asked about Sarah and what her relationship was to him, Ibrahim said, "My sister."

Then he went to her and said, "I told him that you are my sister, so do not let him think I am lying, for there are no believers on earth except for you and I, and you are my sister in faith."

It seems -- and Allah knows best -- that the meaning here is, there is no other Muslim couple on earth apart from you and I.

Among his people, only Lut believed in him and migrated with him to Syria, then during Ibrahim's lifetime he was sent as a Messenger to the people of Sadum (Sodom) where he settled. We have already discussed their story and more is to come.

وَقَالَ إِنِّي مُهَاجِرٌ إِلَى رَبِّي

He (Ibrahim) said;"I will emigrate for the sake of my Lord."

It may be that the pronoun in the verb "he said" refers to Lut, because he was the last person mentioned before this phrase; or it may refer to Ibrahim.

Ibn Abbas and Ad-Dahhak said that Ibrahim is the one who is referred in the phrase.

فَأمَنَ لَهُ لُوطٌ


So, Lut believed in him.

i.e., out of all his people.

وَقَالَ إِنِّي مُهَاجِرٌ إِلَى رَبِّي

He said;"I will emigrate for the sake of my Lord.

Then Allah tells us that he chose to leave them so that he might be able to follow his religion openly. So he said;

إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ



Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

Power belongs to Him and to His Messenger and to those who believe in him, and He is Wise in all that He says and does, and in all His rulings and decrees, both universal and legislative.

Qatadah said,

"They migrated together from Kutha, which is on the outskirts of Kufa, and went to Syria."

Allah gave Ibrahim, Ishaq and Ya`qub, and ordained Prophethood in His Offspring.
