Translation and commentary

Tafheem-ul-Quran

اور لُوطؑ کو ہم نے حکم اور علم بخشا1 اور اُسے اُس بستی سے بچا کر نکال دیا جو بدکاریاں کرتی تھی۔۔۔۔ درحقیقت وہ بڑی ہی بُری ، فاسق قوم تھی

Footnotes (the author's commentary)

  1. ”حکم اور علم بخشنا“ بالعموم قرآن مجید میں نبوت عطا کر نے کے ہم معنی ہوتا ہے۔ ”حکم“ سے مراد حکمت بھی ہے، صحیح قوت فیصلہ بھی ، اور اللہ تعالیٰ کی طرف سے سند حکمرانی (Authority ) حاصل ہونا  بھی۔ رہا ”علم“ تو اس سے مراد وہ علم  حق ہے جو وحی کےذریعہ عطا  کیا گیا ہو۔ حضرت لوط ؑ  کے متعلق مزید تفصیلات کے لیے ملاحظہ ہو۔ الاعراف ، آیات 8۰ تا 84۔ ھود ، آیات ۶9 تا 83 ۔ الحِجر ، آیات 57 تا 7۶۔
