*Surah Hud, Verse 80:*
قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ آوِي إِلَىٰ رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ
He said: "Would that I had strength (men) to overpower you, or that I could betake myself to some powerful support (to resist you)."
#COMMENTARY
Lūt seemed helpless in the situation in which he found himself, alone against a rabble of people inflamed with evil passions. He wished he had the strength to suppress them himself or had had some powerful support to learn on! But the powerful support was there, though he had not realised it till then. It was the support of ALLĀH (Sub-haanahu wata'aala). His guests were not ordinary men, but Angels who had come to test the people before they inflicted the punishment. They now declared themselves, and gave him directions to get away before the morning, when the punishment would descend on the doomed Cities of the Plain.
