﴿ وَلُوطًا ءَاتَيْنَٰهُ حُكْمًۭا وَعِلْمًۭا وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلَّتِى كَانَت تَّعْمَلُ ٱلْخَبَٰٓئِثَ ۗ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمَ سَوْءٍۢ فَٰسِقِينَ ﴾

“AND UNTO Lot, too, We vouchsafed sound judg­ment and knowledge [of right and wrong], and saved him from that community which was given to deeds of abomination. [We destroyed those people - forr,] verily, they were people lost in evil, depraved –”

(And unto Lot We gave judgement) understanding (and knowledge) prophethood, (and We delivered him from the community) We delivered them from the people of Sodom (that did abominations) whose people engaged in sodomy. (Lo! they were folk of evil) they were evil in their state of disbelief, (lewd) through their sodomy.
