Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Are the people of Lut (peace be upon him) the same as the people of Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him)? Because Lut is the son of Ibrahim’s brother (peace and blessings be upon him), and every messenger is sent to his own people, and they are from the same place?
Answer:
My brother, you are mistaken; the matter has not become clear to you yet. The people of Lut are in Jordan, in the land of Jordan. And Ibrahim (peace be upon him) came from the land of Canaan, from the land of Babylon in Iraq. So Ibrahim was sent to the people of Babylon in Iraq, and Lut was sent to the people of Sodom, which is called Sodom, which is called the Dead Sea. That is their location.[Al-Furqan 25:40] It is called the Sea of Lut to this day. They were not sent to the same place. Who said that? Yes.

And they have already come upon the town which was showered with a rain of evil. So have they not seen it? But they are not expecting resurrection.
وَلَقَدْ أَتَوْا عَلَى الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِي أُمْطِرَتْ مَطَرَ السَّوْءِ أَفَلَمْ يَكُونُوا يَرَوْنَهَا بَلْ كَانُوا لَا يَرْجُونَ نُشُورًا
